    Milwaukee impact

    The 2767 is an awesome impact for its size, and I do have the extended as well as the 3/4” version it it as well. Just those wheel nuts sure are tight.

    Milwaukee impact

    I work at a mushroom compost facility. I’ve bought about a dozen of the 1/2” and for most part jobs they work well. My guys with the tractors asked for a 1” drive to remove the wheels off their trucks and trailer. The first 1” impact didn’t do anything so they would have to use a breaker bar...

    Getting the car out! (And back in)

    in some of my cases the motor didn't run but everything was still in the car. I put one of the remote push button switch and put it in gear (manual transmission) and used the starter to drive the car in or out.

    The SK X-Frame Ratcheting Wrench

    Hofmann Lifts

    If I were to buy a brand new, I would buy a Gyrolift. They are the only lift manufacturer that has a jib crane option built onto the lift.

    Tire changer practice

    Yes you're right, the tire bead must stay in the drop center. Pictures are of dismounting the lower bead and don't show the upper bead where the assist arm is needed to keep the the bead in the drop Center on the opposite side of the wheel where the demount head is.

    Tire changer practice

    Actually mounting these tires are quite easy with this machine. It's a corghi Artiglio master 26. It's considered an automatic tire changer as a tire bar is normally not used as all the functions are done thru the joysticks on the control panel and the foot pedals. Tho in these tires the...

    Tire changer practice

    Pics of the 275/30/20, as you can see it's a fairly skinny tire for the wheel, hence it's stretched.

    Tire changer practice

    I finally figured out how to use my machine. Wheel is a 10.5x20 reverse mount and had two practice tires, a 275/30/20 and a 285/30/20. Both tires are run flat sidewalls so even stiffer than your normal ultra low profile tire.

No assist arm, no fancy parts, just the tire bar and the guys I was working with could change anything including 295/25/20 reinforced sidewall Runflat tires. They could change...
