>recommends cordless heatgun >recommends BIC lighter >suggests work be done in an unprofessional manner lol no ima prolly get something Butane once I figure out which specific one that's decently priced, reputable vendor kinda hesistant to drop $60 on what's basically a high end lighter this...

I mean, while still a heat gun, at least that Wagner nozzle is much smaller than the giant HFT $7 gun blowing a ton of heat all over and wasting a lot of power would prefer cordless as that's the way things are going and more useful. Do it anywhere, outside help a friend fix your vehicle in a...

Need to heat shrink **** connectors/crimps mobile, no wall outlet. Tried a lighter doing a wiring project, and regular butane torch. And MAPP gas. Nothing worked well. So I remembered. Co-worker's go-to was a Snap-On rebranded Butane power probe soldering iron, using the heat shrink...

Used a handful of times To my knowledge, this is one of the best if not the best kits on the market right now. latest version, likely forged, German, piano wire insert tips both for precision, and to keep the snap ring on without flying across the room never to be found again I would not be...

sold

Went from working at a shop that had every sleeve ever, to one that has basically none. First shop, had probably a whole wall of them hanging. Next place isn't very big on spending money on necessary tools. That being said, am looking to get my own to solve that. Sleeves have all kinds of uses...

I used to have one that looked similar. Probably Wagner, with a mounting hook on it. I feel like it was better than the $9 HFT one. Probably a bit more wattage too, like 1200 vs 1000. Regret getting rid of it, should've kept it... It would still work probably Whatever I end up getting, I think...

I always wondered this. Lol I don't think the $9 cheap Harbor Freight one even has that setting. Or does it? I think the button is I, O, II. Or High, Low, Off. Unless Low would work for that purpose?

So here's what I have. The Harbor Freight $7 one. Years old. Used to have a different one that was better; I forget the brand. Do these ****? I use it a lot to solder heat shrink ****/crimp connectors, and for one, it's not nice having a straight nozzle, without tips. You have to worry...

Anyone figure out how to make it have all 4 casters? I took a stationary one off to the store to compare and try to find a spinning one of matching bolt pattern, but couldn't find any. Maybe 2 had a similar bolt pattern but were larger wheel of a taller height, and would make the box crooked...

I've seen suspension changed on the street, clutch, timing belt but something has to go really wrong to get to that point

"I just carry my credit card" is retarded and beside the point. If your vehicle has a **** ton of storage room (depends on what vehicle it is) you are not losing anything out by partially filling that with a couple of cheap basic tools, in terms of "sacrificing storage space". It is better to...

This is the 3rd time I've needed sockets and/or wrench. 10mm to remove taillights (change bulb), 14mm to remove a light, and whatever else to tighten a bolt that came loose (ended up using multi-tool as the inside of the bolt is also philips) It always happens when I'm not near my tools. Which...

Intent was auto repair but it never hurts to have higher quality so maybe it's not a bad idea to just get a better plug-in unit instead and run an extension cord

What's a good soldering iron? Was looking at the Milwaukee M12 but it has a 2.2/5 star rating with a lot of bad reviews The cordless aspect of it looked really convenient, rather than being tethered to a cord, becoming unplugged, etc.
