    Gray Tools (Canada) - AMAZING WARRANTY SERVICE

    I have a bunch of gray tools, their orange handle 1/2 ratchet. I have shallow and deep metric and sae 3/8 impact socket sets, some 1/4 wobble extensions and various wrenches from over the years.

    Tool Companies and their warranty claims . . .

    I was thinking of warrantying some Klein pliers they are old and super loose/ rusty. Not sure if they would accept that or not. I have used mastercraft warranty in Canadian tire over the years. Relatively trouble free. I have also reached out to snap on for warranty on pliers, no questions asked.

    The Ultimate Mobile Mechanic Setup

    I suppose, you could use the vinyl tarp as a big envelope and wrap any debris or dirt. I was just thinking to keep a moving blanket under the focused work area. Not necessarily to drive the whole car onto. once the car is on it it would help it stay in place too .

    The Ultimate Mobile Mechanic Setup

    I think this won’t work as well as you plan, wind will surely catch it. I use the cheap 8$ moving blankets. They absorb spilled grease and are softer to lay on. Also less effected by wind. plus when it’s too dirty just throw it away and replace.

    Recommendations for Pancake Air Compressor

    I was between the bostitch and the craftsman when I bought mine. I chose craftsman because bostitch came with finishing nailer which I already had. I ran a framing nailer to build a deck. It is smooth and seems fine. theyre likely all similar just have a different brand sticker put on the...

    Torx plus set for a ford truck

    I found a capri set for 105, seems decent. Good to know on the bed bolts. I figured I may break a bit on those ones.

    Torx plus set for a ford truck

    I think it’s some larger sizes. Like 45, 55, and 60. Hopefully 1/2 drive sockets as they are some tough bolts to remove for bed.

    Torx plus set for a ford truck

    I am looking for a set of torx plus bits for a 2014 f150. it is my understanding that the bed bolts, seat belt anchors, door bolts use torx plus. What sizes are common to encounter in trucks of this era? I was looking for a good set of torx plus but I only see some cheap ones on Amazon, then...
