Disposable Kimberly-Clark Surgical Cap: get a box of 50 or 100.

I would appreciate that.

FORD ROTUNDA choke tester LRE-34618

I just picked up a Ford Rotunda Choke Tester (= vortex tube) but am not exactly sure how to set it up to use it on the carburetor. Does anyone have instructions?

Just curious, but why are bushing drivers like the link below so popular? http://buy1.snapon.com/catalog/item.asp?P65=&tool=all&item_ID=11902&group_ID=1602&store=snapon-store&dir=catalog Or, am I missing something in how to use them?

These are 30 year old rubber bushings and are pretty well stuck. Moose-LandTran, When you refer to a press, is it similar to this?: http://www.sportruck.com/howto/rebuildkit/3.htm

Yes, to be used as a punch. In that case: What would be the difference between an impact driver with an attached socket as opposed to a dedicated bushing driver?

Yes, to remove radius arm, sway bar & track suspension bushings.

Yes, an impact driver set like the posted link containing an Impact Driver plus all sockets, screwdrivers, and replacement bits. Not to be used in a press but matching a socket to fit the hole and to drive them out with a hammer.

Not quite sure what is meant by "using it as a drift." Please explain.

Don't want to purchase a bushing driver if I don't have to, so, Does anyone have experience using an Impact Socket Driver to remove Bushings? (Specifically, radius arm, sway bar & track bushings). Any down side?

It weighs around 5K lb loaded. It is rated front axle - 3,550 lb; rear axle - 3750 lb. So the 2 ton should be fine, even when jacking at the pumpkin. Please correct if wrong.

Thanks for your reply. The HW93642 is priced reasonably & height is not an issue. My only concern was a 2 ton jack for the Bronco, but if you feel that it is sufficient then that will be my aim.

Hiball: I'm glad you checked in. This post was in large part directed to you. As said in the initial post: Need something dependable and durable but do not need "shop" quality... What floor jack would be a step below the Hein Werner HW93652 3 ton SUV Service Jack for a weekend mechanic working...

I saw an Arcan Quick Lift Service Jack — 3 1/2-Ton, Model# XL35 (3.5 to 21.38 lift height) at Northern Tools. I was impressed with the U-joint which was beefier than the comparable Torin. I'm just concerned about long term seals dependability.
