You'll like the Milbars! they are quality and you can see how the jaws are machined to match each-other making them grip wire like a mo-fo. Is that a race ZX or a street bike? You have a nice track in TX don't yah. Peace Out

I got a pair of Robinson Jet Twisters (coolest name for a tool imho) They are long and have a skate board bearing on the end of the twister. One direction pliers, so if you wana do a reverse twist, you have to do it manually. I bought a pair of Milbar pliers new for about 75 bucks and used them...

Love that 1/4 ratchet, my favorite go to ratchet over the other 8 I own.

Up for sale are my beloved metric t-handle set from SO, bought over 20 years ago and sat for that time in one of my drawers. If Covid 19 did'nt F' up the industry I was working in, I would not be selling them! Closest thing to shiny tool jewelry you'll get. Rare set, virtually un-used...

^ You have the actual, real deal "J. Teeples" etched tools? Holy cow, he invented the widget plugging chisel I believe. ha ha, kidding aside, think your kinda out of luck regarding getting rid of the etching (which I do hate) - short of grinding and re-chroming which is not feasible. I bought a...

Thanks, it was an unusual find, I have found some other killer stuff, 1/2 almost new torque wrench in a case (S-O) - List goes on. ; ) I rebuild master cylinders on motorcycles and they use a snap ring to retain the piston in the bore, well - a good used pick with a blunt end works better than...

i have a one of those interchangeable set with the kit bag along with an allen tool to loosen tighten set screw on said pliers, they look like the blue channel locks but were made by Craftsman, have owned them for 20 years. I have a set of convertible snap ring pliers from Mac Tools in a blow...

Like the off set box wrench - I thought I had one, and looked, mine is King **** made in England 6, 7 MM. Good for break bleeders. Those other wrenches I have used in the past working in euro motorcycle shops, (old shops) They look a little like the Indestro combo wrench I have...

Lithium chargers are based on a CV/CC (constant voltage/constant current) charge algorithm. The charger limits the amount of current to a pre-set level until the battery reaches a pre-set voltage level. The current then reduces as the battery becomes fully charged. This system allows fast...

I had that happen! I bid on MityVac manual fluid evacuator and the shipping was as much as the piece. I ended up talking to the doode on the phone (Ebay does not make it easy) and we canceled the auction. I ended up buying another one for a decent price. I have a nice air brake bleeder from them...

I use these, My understanding is that Lithium Ion needs a dedicated charger. or at least in the Power Sports industry. https://optimate1.com/

I am going to Ocala FL next week and going to be staying with my cousin who loves the Dollar Tree, I wana get some of that stuff!

several people used to borrow mine when I was working at the repair station. Have had it since 2006 - I like the above kit for deflecting heat which I don't have - I do have a Weller butane soldering iron that has those attachments in miniature, figured out the curved deflector by accident...

I bought my KRL used from a mechanic that was going to the quicky lube section of the dealership. He was downsizing to a roll cart. He owed on the box, we physically went to the truck, paid off his share and I bought the box. That was twenty years ago though, I had a personal friend snap on...

3/8 drive in a 1/4 in body ratchet. I don't own one but have spoken to people that like them. I have a lot of 1/4 sockets with many drive options for ratchets. I am thinking of one particular set of sockets which are stubby allen heads, there are 1/4 inch drive for the lower MM sizea, then they...
