    Autel Maxidas 708

    I bought one a couple of years ago and checked with their customer service prior to buying it and they said they had no plans of discontinuing it. As is mentioned above, I probably could have gotten a different answer the next day. My only complaint is the cost of updates after the first year...

    Farmers fight for the right to repair their own tractors

    I live in a dry land wheat farming community and there's a couple of independent combine/tractor mechanics who seem to do quite well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Hydraulic scissor lift replacement hydraulic tank

    I'm not familiar with the lift but I wouldn't hesitate to put on a bigger tank if that was all I could find. I (personally) wouldn't worry too much about adding extra fluid to fill the new tank, so long as the discharge/drain on the tank was on the bottom and there wasn't an issue of a...

    Precision Torque wrench good quality?

    I have that wrench as well and am very happy with it. You are limited to right hand threads only though which, so far, hasn't been an issue for me. Very nice to pick it up, dial it to the correct setting, torque, then put it away and not have to worry about backing off the handle like my other...

    Stick welder AC vs DC questions.

    Pretty sure you can easily set up a DC machine to tig weld steel. I only have a wirefeed machine myself but I looked into this at one point and decided if I did get a stick welder it would be either DC or AC/DC. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Snap On, MATCO, MAC, SK, etc., from Ebay

    I think the new stuff is truck guys selling. My wife used to sell Mary Kay and the mark-up was 50% but they had to sign something saying they wouldn't sell on eBay, yet there's always Mary Kay stuff on there. I'm guessing the tool truck guys have a similar mark-up. If they can sell it on eBay...

    Assistance needed from old School (THINK OBD I) Toyota guys.

    ****, I just read through 8 pages to find out I have to PM the OP to see how the story ends. Talk about having your girlfriends parents walk in on you and ruin a good ending. For what it's worth, it didn't seem like there was very many D-bag responses. Some people tried to help who obviously...

    Best mig welder for the least amount of money...

    Mostly agree with the voltage statement and totally agree with the gas option. Whatever you get, make sure you can add gas.

    OTC 4507 bearing race and seal driver keep or send back?

    I most recently used mine for pressing in the inner axle seals on the Front Differential of my 2000 Ford 4x4 truck. Used a piece of all-thread with some nuts and washers, placed the appropriate seal driver over the seal to be pressed in and then used a slightly bigger one on the other side of...

    Cycling ABS w/ Autel MD802?

    I've searched the threads here, seems like a number of folks like the MD802. I'm wondering if anyone has used their's to cycle the ABS pump for bleeding brakes. I've found a couple of forum posts (maybe the same person) that seems to indicate it can...
