    Extech Meters

    If you are looking seriously at a CAT III meter, then imo there is no excuse not to purchase a CAT IV. Your fingers are not worth the few dollars you might save. Also, please be SURE that your probes are appropriately rated as well. Many people have these nice meters and the cheapest non rated...

    Extech Meters

    I have the U1252A. From what I have seen, the 1253 is completely useless in sunlight. Also, the battery life is an incredible EIGHT (yes...8) hours. This might be cool in some situations, but I suppose I cannot think of any except that you have the newest display in town. If you like the...

    Lugnut Torque Wrenches

    Nissan recalled the rotors on the early Titans and replaced them with bigger rotors because they would warp after a few thousand miles (they would get hot and warp). My truck had this problem and I do use a TW on my wheels. And like others here I have warped rotors with spirited driving and hard...

    Lugnut Torque Wrenches

    Not me if I have a choice. I figure that if I have a torque wrench with me then it is likely that I will also have a breaker or a big wratchet. Torque wrenches are not designed to be used to break bolts loose. That being said, if all I have is a TW then you bet I will use it. On a slightly...

    Homemade Wrench Racks on eBay

    The front and rear holders appear to be staggered so reaching the rear wrenches might not be an issue. Also, why not pick them up from above the holder? In that case nothing should fall out. Kevin

    Need help: Genysis Scanner Battery

    Guys: That pack is the same thing used in 9.6V RC cars. You can purchase 9.6V NiMH battery packs that size for much less than $35. Look around. If you want one that has a *lot* of power (2500mAH) then go to maxamps.com, get the phone number and call and get the correct connector for your unit...

    New brake piston rewind tool

    Not sure what you are asking, if anything..but Autozone and Orrielly will lend out the universal kit for 48 hours IIRC. I have used it a couple of times and returned it when I was finished. If you do this be sure that you get everything (or take a picture of the kit in front of the salesperson)...

    What do you guys do for a garage sound system..??

    The speaker will radiate as much sound from the rear as it does from the front. Therefore, you might want to think about using a bucket or a plastic cake pan or something to put behind the speaker with maybe some fiberglass and so forth to damp the rear wave. Some companies sell enclosed...

    Thanks J.P.! That is the kind of information I am looking for. Do you think the IR 86 piece set is a good deal? I am not really tied to any one brand but I don't want to have to win on ebay, etc. Here is a link: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000HGKR6O/?tag=atomicindus08-20

    SK Tools Impact Universal Joint Set Opinion Needed

    Hello all: I am thinking of getting the 86 piece IR impact set that has been mentioned here a few times and mating it with the SK Tools universal joints shown in the attached link. What do you think? Can I do better for the money? They will be used with a 1/2" and 3/8" impact...

    Home Depot Power Tool Clearance

    Hi Everyone: I hope that this is not the wrong place to ask, but does anyone know where I can pick up a Generac 7000E in or around the Houston area? It was sold out in every store I went to. If you bought one and don't want it I would be interested in purchasing it as well. Thanks, Kevin

    best boots for guys with back problems?

    You know what...I assumed you meant safety boots...did I assume correctly? If that is true, do you need 'boots', or just safety shoes (which implies no restrictions on the height above the ankle the shoe has to be)?
