    So my close call with oil filter failure..

    The hex nut should be for removal purposes only. You're certain that is where the leak came from?

    JIS Screwdrivers (Phillips Type)

    Very interesting. I'll have to check it out. Bought a set a while back and have just been using it for traditional Phillips. :eyecrazy:

    So the impact Phillips screwdriver from the Craftsman red and grey handled set is a JIS screwdriver?

    Such thing as a nice 110v MIG welder?

    Thank you everyone for the suggestions and Merry Christmas. I have a lot of research to do, but I'll be sure to update this thread when I finally make a purchase.

    Such thing as a nice 110v MIG welder?

    Just as the title says, is there such a thing as a decent 110v MIG welder? This would be my first welder too by the way. I have welded some years ago and was halfway decent at it, but I am sure I'll need practice. It's immediate use would be some light body work, but being able to use it on...

    Between 485 & 705 SQ/FT Rudi's Datsun resto and late nights shed in Australia.

    Those 260z floorboards are clean. Very hard to find something that nice here. Dry ice and a cheap impact hammer gets that seam sealer/ tar stuff up. Messy job and be careful not to gouge the floor.

    Trusty-Cook, Black Friday / Cyber Monday Sale Begins Today

    Nice to see the orange. I'm holding off for an orange long handled 47oz ball peen. I guess I could use a larger dead blow too.

    recommend me an ATF fluid pump for Eurocars

    Pennzoil makes a nice one that screws onto gallon sized jugs. It even has a v shaped clip on the front that holds the hose in the fill hole. They make quart ones too, but these seem a bit more industrious. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003RDO1JS/?tag=atomicindus08-20 Does your transmission pan...

    1/2" SK socket set

    What size do you typically use for loosening your lugs? The set you mention has a 19mm deep well which seems popular. I am guessing you are more interested in metric deep wells. More complete than the set you mention, but you don't get the case, ratchet, extensions, or other sockets. I'm in the...

    Thoughts on 1/4 Gearwrench 120xp

    I purchased a 4 pack earlier this year, which came with the 1/4". Used it maybe 2 times? Doesn't seem smooth to me. Looking back, I should have just bought the long handled and stubby 3/8's.
