+1 to the old Wiha that were from the homeland of Germany. The ones I have have been excellent! The Wiha flag drivers I had from ages ago fit the fasteners well. Ordered a Wera for my shop assembly bench set and was disappointed in the fit with the small T5-T8 Torx. The Wera have enough play...

What is causing the caliper pins to get stuck like this? Is this car being tracked? Salty roads? Interval between pad maintenance?

That breaker bar served you well. The tire shops I use hand torque the lugs with a proper torque wrench. I'm suspicious what they set them at though so far, they do it within the 76#'s for the Toyota Alu wheels. AAA in So. Cal the tow driver has a battery operated impact. I didn't like when...

Loved the story! Those vintage thermometers are cool too!

Like the Park truing stand too, you are also a bicycle nut as well? :D

Wow...brings back memories of my first retail job as a ski tech. Was paid $3.25/hour in those days and probably the most fun job I've had. Good crew so each day was a blast. We'd ski or snowboard together when not on shift, included ski tickets too. Just had to take the 90 mile drive towards Big...

Some previous pics taken of the task: the recent orchids are out growing their small inner sleeve container. I get these deli ones and drill holes to put into the larger pots. "Orchid" pots are $$.

I have some areas organized with others not as much, tools I detest having to hunt them down so after each session they go back to their respective spot. A condo or such with no work area I cannot comprehend. The thought of not being able to perform some of my own maintenance would not set...

Saw some at the local Ace store and they looked good. For the price, it was not as easy a swallow. My local Lowes don't have any, order online.

It's more fun to think there's some beef with the sparky's. ;)

I like using the Goldenrod oilers for a variety of cleaning and lubricating fluids too, Goldenrod 625's for about $18 typically.

The switch on mine is due to be replaced as well. It has a dead spot that doesn't allow it to easily go on-off. As above, keeping a clean flowing filter will keep these happy. I run the HEPA types.

I have a stainless QSP from the late 90's that is going for me. This got a new motor last year when the old one died, the new motor was ~$55 from Shop Vac.. Watched Project Farm's reviews and didn't see any I was willing to pay for.

Wagner power roller. Skil corded hammer drill. Others that are in the depths of the garage that are hidden from sight.

Excellent! Thank you for sharing the build on that!
