    MIG vs TIG - Exhaust ideas

    I have gotten away with using stainless wire and C25..but wasn't a critical part and wasn't worth the cost of another bottle..all it did was turn the welds black but I was planning on cleaning them up anyway..

    looking to buy large amount of machinist tools, what do you think of this lot??

    I would talk to others at the shop you are at..maybe make a list of modt used tools..looks like a lot of that is sort of fluff that you may not ever need/use..you might be able get by with a few ebay auctions for a little newer tools that fit your needs better

    If you watch the video it says removing valve cores or even breaking the bead may not be enough!

    Fathers Day Tools?

    If you are cheap the kobalt flashlights on clearance at Lowes are hard to beat for the money. probably brightest flashlight you can find for 9 dollars and rechargeable without having to keep track of a cord!

    10-15 bucks to spend at harbor freight

    Composite ratchets, ball peens, and last time I went I realized I didn't have a shorter 1/2 breaker..the 18" (i think) has come in handy..also dead blows! I have a ball peen head laying around and was able to get 2 new complete hammers for less than a new handle cost elsewhere
