Thanks guys. I'm just now setting up a work area in my garage. I tore out the one the previous owner had since it wasnt quite built right and wasn't up to my standards. Hence the reason that I'm looking for a vice for when I finish the workbench! Anyways, I very much appreciate everyone's...

Thanks guys! Just shopping around and not really in a rush at the moment...Came upon that ad and I know that some of the members on here like Columbian which is why I was interested in it. I'm more than willing to wait. The coating did strike me as odd since it's everywhere. Not just on the...

Hi guys, So I found a Columbian vise on my local Craigslist that I'm potentially interested in purchasing. However it looks like it's coated with something. Being that you guys are much more versed in vises than I, is there anything that I can look for/ask to ensure that the vise is legit and...

I had the same experience. I had one round off all the points on a 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee caliper. Ended up buying the HF one as well to finish the job. The HF ones worked no problem!

I use an ELM327 Bluetooth reader and the Torque Android app ($5) and it is pretty awesome. It can read and reset codes, read current sensor readings if it's supported (such as RPM, water temp, etc.). It's always being updated for additional support which is kinda neat. Haven't had any issues...

I had some ants that decided to invade my kitchen, I tried peppermint oil around the house along with coffee grounds with no luck. Finally I tried this stuff Terro ant baits and they at first swarmed the trap to eat the bait...after about a week they were almost completely gone.

Hey Falcon, I wasn't trying to sound like I am a wireless god or anything, but just was trying to make things simple in terms of band overlap...most people understand SSIDs easier than explaining spectrum. My logic regarding WPA is that, if it doesn't take that much effort to configure WPA2...

This is if he really wants wireless in both locations. Essentially what you are suggesting is that he use one of the router ports, run a line to the garage, connect another router (but ensure that DHCP is disabled, the connection is plugged into the LAN port and not the WAN/Internet port), set...

I work in IT and had a similar issue. Cable going into the house was in the basement. Wasn't getting signal in the garage or spotty signal on the top floor. Instead of having the router in the basement with the modem, I used a powerline adapter to connect the modem to an outlet and moved my...

Also helps if you gently pull the electrode slightly out from the starter. I found that the starter was tucked a bit far in. It greatly benefited from pulling it out. But like diggerrick said, start low gas and then ramp it up once lit.

I agree with many of the people on here and recommend just replacing the rotors. I would also recommend replacing the pads at the same time so you get two fresh surfaces for optimum seating. Rockauto has Centric Premiums for $40 a rotor. I've run these rotors on all my cars and friends cars...

Hey guys at Trident, I just wanted to let you know that I got my 120XPs today! I also appreciated the little freebie! I'll certainly consider you guys first next time I need some new toys! The only thing I wanted to mention is that I never ended up getting a tracking number for my package, so...

I just wanted to say that I haven't received my order yet, but I got wonderful customer service from Trident (via email) saying my order was received and that I'd be expecting a tracking number soon. As all of you guys probably know, getting that kind of service today and from an online company...

I lost my key at one point and since my car was used I didn't have the key code. What I did was email McGard customer service and they had me follow some instructions to help identify the key. They were able to identify which key it was within a day and sent a replacement. If it didn't fit, you...

I'd be interested in seeing how the Kobalt torque wrenches do. Especially since there seems to be a sale on them: Kobalt Torque Wrench sale thread Anyone want to try? ;)
