    Scanner for SRS/ABS

    I need to get a scanner that will do ABS and SRS codes. I've been using Torque Pro, but it's time for an upgrade. I've browsed Amazon, but because of their BS review system, it's hard to see what's decent and what isn't. Any suggestions for something in the 100$ range?

    HF Merlin High Flow Couplers

    Anyone tried these? I've had the Milton high flows, my last one unscrewed itself and blew its innards across the driveway, which is also what the first one did a few months ago. https://m.harborfreight.com/4-piece-high-flow-aluminum-coupler-connector-kit-63546.html

    Add Circuit to Meter Panel

    Thanks. So, just to clarify, I could get something like this and screw it to the pole? https://www.homedepot.com/p/Square-D-Homeline-70-Amp-2-Space-4-Circuit-Outdoor-Main-Lug-Load-Center-HOM24L70RBCP/100194428

    Add Circuit to Meter Panel

    Yes, just a single 15a 110v circuit is more than enough. All I need it to do is power a battery charger/maintainer and a 10W led flood light. Wouldn't I have to run big wire (big enough to trip the 200A breaker without catching on fire) from the meter to the small panel? Can you buy a breaker...

    Add Circuit to Meter Panel

    I just had a carport put up to get my boats out of the garage, and I need to add a circuit to power a battery charger and a small flood light. There are no buildings close by, the closest place to get power is the main meter panel. Here is what it looks like. While I could take power from...

    110 volt welder

    I would suggest a dual voltage machine, as that will allow you to upgrade in the future without buying a new machine.

    Advice on getting a deal on a Lowes Porter Cable Drill Press

    My Lowes card is only 5%. You can also buy gift cards for up to 10% off. I bought a toolbox this way, saved a good amount of money.

    1/2 long ratchet options

    How long? Tekton 15013 is a good one, 24" handle.

    Harbor Freight Pittsburgh Pro Ratchets

    I like them, just wish the flex heads wouldn't start flopping in the breeze the first time you give them a hot supper.

    HF locking extensions. All junk?

    I very seldom ever use mine. They're nice for spark plugs, nothing worse than having to fish a socket out of a spark plug well. I've noticed that the little set screws that hold the collar on will loosen up if you use them on an impact, but they're not designed for that.

    1/2 drive 6PT metric impact set

    The Pittsburg Pro set has 16 and 18. You can fill in the 24 from Tekton if you really need it. They're great sockets, especially for the price.

    Honda small engine carb

    Bowl type carbs are not hard to clean. It's the small ones on chainsaws, weed whackers, etc. that you are better off just replacing.

    HF Braun Slim LED Worklight

    I bought one. Had it sitting on a 5 gallon bucket a little to close to my lift arms, accidentally set the vehicle down on the bucket. Crushed the bucket lid, but the light still works fine and is no worse for wear. I also grabbed the Braun under hood light, but I haven't used it yet. Feels...

    '04 TRX500FA Clutch Puller? Recommendations?

    You can try a local power sports dealer, they may not loan them but might have them for sale. I tried to find a Flywheel puller for one of my bikes locally, did not have any luck, had to order one. Amazon might have one, may be able to get it delivered on Saturday.

    HF tire changer hitch mount - no welding required

    I have never gotten it to work well either.. It works to get it started, but after 2/3rds of the way I just fold it over with tire spoons.
