    Blackhawk 1/2 deep impact sockets

    Good quality. Decent price. If they do the job, you'll be happier than if you didn't buy them, I suspect.

    What the heck is this socket for?

    If you have a northstar, I pity you more than anything

    I need a good mechanic's work light?

    I use a snap on compact rechargeable with the magnetic base, I also have a stream light stinger flashlight. However, my favorite and most used light ever is the zebralight headlamp. Super bright and the light is always where you're looking. It's not perfect for every situation, but it gets used...

    What is a good test light to use?

    I don't want to throw more fuel on a 5 year old argument, But as an auto tech, I use my two test lights (1 snap on, 1 lisle) more than any of the rest of my electrical tools. Just be aware of where you're sticking it and how the circuit works and you won't burn up any computers, I promise.

    Lathe parts

    Hopefully this is the right board to post on. This is not my listing, but figured i would pass it on. almost no machining parts or equipment ever come up for sale locally, so i opened up the CL and found this: http://siouxcity.craigslist.org/tls/5967081053.html

    Cut out tools

    My father has a rotozip that is probably 15 years old, he uses it for drywall all the time (he is an independent contractor) and it's still kicking!

    Automotive Inspection Scopes

    I spent 500 on a snap on, it's great. I don't use it all the time, but when I do, it works awesome.

    Ball Joint Press

    I've use the Snap-on extensively at work, it is by far the best. if I move to s shop without one, I'd buy it in a heartbeat, wouldn't consider anything else. JMO

    whats your most used tools?

    I'm surprised no-ones mentioned it, My most used tool by far is my pocket screwdriver. from prying on electrical connectors, scraping crud, to pulling apart interior trim, it's invaluable to me!

    Extra long DBl Boxed End Ratcheting Wrenches

    I have gearwrench 120xp DBE ratcheting wrenches. I do like them, I don't use the ratcheting portion as much as i thought i would. Mine are spline drive which i'm not too thrilled about, It doesn't seem like they grip as well as 12 point. Ive stripped a few iffy fasteners with them. I love the...

    FLAT RATE MECHANICS Any secrets to being more productive and turning BIG hours??

    I agree with Matt, I started as a tech 2 years ago and read all of the horror stories about flat rate. granted, we had some slow weeks that i didn't make 80 hrs, but otherwise I consistently made all 80 hours every pay period and have very few comebacks. This is also contingent on the shop...

    refrigerant sniffer too sensitive?

    At work we have an a/c sniffer (sorry, don't know the brand) anyways, it's just about worthless for finding a/c leaks. it has 2 settings, low and high (sensitivity). When it is on high, it will give a false positive anytime! I can have it outside, away from any car or refrigerant, and it will...
