Yeah you can add a secondary buffer tank. Even multiple tanks.

Easier to get off than to get back on for sure. Never want to line up without some serious persuasion. I think that's why most of the people around here have their bumper skins held on with bungee cords

Yeah, 1/2'' drive

Let us know how the mini impact goes, might be something I consider I tested it out yesterday on two 200ft lb spindle nuts. Zipped both off no problem. Not exactly stressing it to its extents, but for such a small impact its performance made me very happy.

I want to make my own tool chest. I have too many tools for a normal-sized tool chest, and a large tool chest would cost too much. I was thinking I could build one out of wood and carpet it, but that would be too heavy for the size I need. Sheet metal is expensive. Fiberglass layup by hand with...

Does anyone have any experience with pouring a strong RTV resin in their home shop without expensive injection equipment? I'm looking for something strong like glass-filled nylon for structural elements that will support decent weight that is resistant to oil and other chemicals.

Even though Craftsman isn't owned by Danaher, their quality is slipping. I bought a socket set from them about 6 months ago and the insides of the wells were unfinished, which has rusted badly already, and some of the chrome has flaked, even though many have not been used or touched and are...

Klutch dual hammer mini impact. 320ft lbs working torque (at only 90psi) (4.3cfm) (max torque is irrelevant), but it fits anywhere, and it's super quiet, moreso than aircat. I was impressed with my buddy's heavy duty klutch (full size) that outperformed an IR thunder gun, so I planned on getting...

I think 12 points get a bad rep from people buying cheap tools. They end up rounding out the insides of the socket. 6 point is less likely to round out the socket or the fastener. I rarely use 12 points and rely on fine-tooth ratchets and indexable heads for better angles.

Bolt extractor sockets are a must if you're doing any suspension or exhaust work. Irwin/Hansen bolt grip or grip tite super sockets are good. I think the grip tites are better than the bolt grips, and they're cheaper too. If you're working on newer cars (like anything with OBD2) they will...

Good to know. Thanks. I've heard some horror stories. Don't know if there's any merit to them, but I don't like pressing my luck. I usually get the **** end of the stick.

If you get the HF ball joint press, make sure you lube the heck out of the threads because they will strip FAST. I did less than 5 sets of ball joints with it and the threads were nearly gone and popping, didn't advance whatsoever when turned. Come to find out you had to oil them. On my next...

Sorry for the glare. My cam takes horrible pics (wont focus) without flash. If those threads are bad, I'm not looking forward to the connector blowing off at 150psi.

Okay, cool. Thanks guys :) Nice to have knowledgeable people around that are so helpful

Thank god I got it out. I went up to autozone before they closed and picked up an OEM bolt extractor. Worked like a charm with a crescent wrench. Now I have a problem, maybe, it looks like the threads inside the pipe are now larger near the opening and normal size about a quarter inch in. When I...
