A good friend of mine has a Branick MST-580 that he paid $100 for. We just used it this week on the front OEM coil-overs on my 2010 Cadillac CTS-V. Worked great on that coil-over, we had it apart and a new damper swapped in a few minutes!

My vintage JH Willams tools consist of a set of Superratchets. All work like new.

I always keep a car in the air on my Challenger lift. If it were empty, I would keep it up so I don’t trip over it. I always take the ramps off as my garage is tight and I want the head clearance. I also don’t trust them to “just hang there”. My lift has a backstop which installs over the...
