    Motive Brake Bleeder

    The Motive was probably one of the better job specific tools I've bought. I generally only do work on euro cars that have the nice screw on adapters so I've never experienced any leakage, blow outs, etc. Unit hasn't failed me in the 3 or so years I've been using it in the shop. For how...

    Snap on vs gearwrench xp120 question.

    I'm a fan of both - all my Snap On ratchets were bought on ebay for less than 1/2 of retail. I never really care to buy off tool trucks, most of my tools are Hazet anyway so the warranty question for me doesn't matter. Have a couple of the dual 80's and they've absolutely held up to anything I...

    Anyone make a set of universal hex allen sockets?

    Excellent! Forgot about the GWrench... A bud is a gearwrench independent, so maybe he's got some hanging out somewhere I could look at. Seems like the VIM set is my best bet so far though. That's what I'm needing these for, some areas are SO goofy to get to that there's no real way to seat...

    Anyone make a set of universal hex allen sockets?

    Would you by chance have a part number for the set? I can live with a 1/4" set The problem I have with the ball ends is the position they'd be in would be more likely to strip the fastener. That's not to mention if they shear I'd be royally pissed lol. Some water pump / intakes on Mercedes...

    Anyone make a set of universal hex allen sockets?

    I have one 10mm made by Hazet for some 80's Mercedes starters ala: Does anyone know of a company that makes this style or something similar? Preferably chrome and 3/8". I've seen a few impact style from Gray Pneumatic, but they're FAR too bulky. Hazet has a few different lengths, but they're...

    Tools from the old world

    Had these sitting around for a while now, finally decided to open em up and stick them in my box. My old c-man raised panels will be my travel set. They're too damn heavy to use consistently. The Hazet feel like half the weight. Will get out a scale and check that for sure. Sent from my...

    Socket organizers

    I bought a large sheet of PTEG and a bunch of harbor freight rails and riveted them in. As I accumulate I can either add rails, move rails, cut rails down, etc. with just drilling small holes into the sheet and riveting the rail in place. It reflecting offers a pretty cool view when I open the...

    I had to cut an old stuck parking brake cable on a Mercedes I'm stripping down to get some work done. Way back whenever, I'd be hacking away at those cables for ages to get through - with these long handle knipex job was done in 5 seconds. Tool wasn't even fazed. I'm a huge fan now haha Sent...
