Although I carry a breaker bar and socket and I understand what you are saying. To avoid that situation I recommend checking the torque of the lug nuts or lug bolts when you get home. I loosen and retorque lug nuts anytime a shop touches them such as when I buy tires.

I'm just a DIYer but I think anyone's experience with tool trucks depends mainly with the individual dealer. Some are better than others clearly. Years ago when I was actively expanding my tool collection I had three different Snap-on dealers. I found my first Snap-on dealer servicing a local...

If I only could pick one, I would probably go with the regular flare nut wrenches. That said, I think you would be limited in what you could successfully work on. I'm a dedicated DIYer and I have both types. There are times where a flare nut crowfoot was the only practical tool that would...

I have a K-D branded set of these that I bought many years ago. They came in a plastic pouch and I'm pretty sure they are the same as (Sears) Craftsman. I use them occasionally but when needed they can save my ****.

I believe those two tools are for two different styles of band clamps.

Also saying jew-ler-ree instead of jewelry.

Just curious but did you try contacting the seller to see what they say?

In 1/2" drive my largest is 46mm.

I'm a DIYer and I've run into 11mm bolts/nuts on BMW intake manifold fasteners and a few other spots. Also an 11mm on GM steering shaft pinch bolt and GM and Ford automatic transmission drain bolts recently. BMW and domestic brands use 16mm and 18mm. Even though Asian car brands usually use...

I'm a DIYer but I've have used Team Torque to calibrate one of my torque wrenches and was satisfied with their service. They certify it and as I recall they send a data sheet with technical details.

I think that is a reasonable plan. While I have tons of tools in my main roller cabinets, I have a separate portable hand carry tool box with my most frequently needed tools which has gotten quite heavy over the years (they're all duplicated in the main cabinets anyway). In it I keep both...

Things might have changed since then but when I click my bookmarked link http://www.toolsdelivered.com/, it automatically takes me to https://toolsdelivered.3dcartstores.com/

I live in California and those R134a cans by law have had self sealing cans since 2010. Yes, one good thing is that you can more easily store partial cans but the downside of the law here is you have to pay a $10 deposit and you have 90 days to return the can (empty or not) for your deposit...

I sent one of my torque wrenches to be calibrated, a Mac Tools branded all metal click type. When it was returned it came with a certification and a note that said it was already within specs but they adjusted it to a closer tolerance.

I've bought a lot of fasteners from McMaster-Carr but since I tend to work on a lot of Hondas and Toyotas I have a need for JIS fasteners, especially flanged bolts. For those I use BelMetric. They have zinc and yellow zinc plated and if I want close to original fasteners, I usually get the...
