this is what I use to fill up my boat. The bigger the diameter tube the faster it fills.

This is the one I have. Works great.

I bought heavily into the Craftsman plastic rails. They were a great value. Overall they were sturdy yet inexpensive when bought through Sears. Now Sears doesn't make them but they are made by VIM. VIM's prices are expensive. Recently I needed some more and so I purchased Kobalt rails...they...

This is what I have been using. You should know, this isn't the old Chilton's book. Most of the info that I have seen matches the Factory Service Manuals. I got a library card just to use this service.

I am a big fan of craftsman plastic rails and have used them for years. I just swapped the 1/2 impact rails for Osla aluminum rails. They are really nice. They have the stiffness for the weight of a complete 1/2” impact set.

I am interested in this too. There is another youtuber that got one and used it. It's an interesting idea. The software looks like it's similar to Launch. The idea is that you pay $40 a year for a makes software and you get 2 brands with the tool for a year. So you could pick GM and...

I could see somewhat better with a regular magnifying glass and a pen light but even that wasn’t conclusive. But I could see the overload seat didn’t look great. Figuring the one seat needed some care and the others just didn’t seem great I bought the bal-tec diamond charged ball on stems to...

I noticed that the other day when I was on their site. They even carried the bal tech diamond balls that I asked you about years ago. I am glad that they do have the info stored on another spot in case something were to happen to GJ. But they should at least give you credit.

Still not sure how to focus on the seat without some form of magnification. Most of the tools I have bought for magnification have a focal length of an 1" which isn't enough to see down the bore. I think I need to find the right magnifier...maybe something 5x or 10x that has a focal length of...

Thanks Hiball for responding. Always appreciate the help. I don't know how you can identify with just a pen light. I just checked and I can see the 2 rings of silver metal (talking about the working valves) where the seats are. They look fine to me but there does look like some rust-ish...

Here are a couple friends of the first couple of jacks I have done: First YA642. Still has handle raising issues but very functional. This jack was dry and rusted inside when I got it: https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=173844&showall=1 Second Walker 93642. This is...

Started to rebuild a floor jack. This is the third Walker/Snap On 93642/YA642 that I have done. The previous two I have problems with after the rebuild with the jack handle raising. I know this is a valve issue. While I have this current floor jack apart, what is the the tools to look and...

What paint did you use for those? Also did you reprint stickers or is that painted snapon/model number? Looks great!

I saw those Atlas 46 in a facebook targeted ad. Thought they were really cool, only downside is I'd want them to hold more sockets. If you work on cars, you need a wide range of sockets. In their current config, you'd need multiple of those socket rolls for 1/4", 3/8", 1/2", maybe even SAE and...

Thanks for responding. I have the lisle socket and used it on my Nitrocat impact and it pulled the one honda crank bolt I have had to do. I have since bought a big Milwaukee impact, was curious if it could pull the crank bolt off with the lisle socket.
