    Tire changer and Wheel balancer combo

    There is great advice in here and agree with about all of, except for this. The HF spoon is absolute junk. Make sure you have an authentic Coats spoon. The HF is flimsy and I bend it nearly every time I mount something close to a low pro. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Home Shop Tire Changer Questions

    Anyone else like the widowmaker jack?

    I had to use one in a snowstorm on my Q7. I thought the whole tire changing process of the Audi was pretty clever. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Champion AGM Batteries - 25% off + $40 MIR at PepBoys (4yr warranty)

    Has anybody successfully received a rebate with the discount? The fine print on the rebate form says “cannot be combined with any other offer, rebate or discount”. I need 2 group 65 batteries and really don’t want to take an $80 chance. Sent from my iPhone using The Garage Journal mobile app
