I use the caliper tool. I've encountered too many calipers where I couldn't get a square grip on the piston due to what was on the outside of the caliper body.

This. Money was actually one of the first things my wife and I discussed when we first started dating. I had already been married once and wasn't going that way again. We have "our" money and we each have our own money. Twice a year we sit down and discuss finances and budget. Each payday we...

That's a lot of messing around when you can just put an intake silencer on or run the air intake outside...

This. A 10' section of vinyl tubing is $5, it slips right on to the gear oil bottle ****** and Bob is your uncle. I get probably 10 fluid changes out of the roll of tubing and I don't worry about a $10 Chinese pump failing on me mid fluid change. being "professional" isn't about buying a tool.

There is your answer there. Either she takes shorter showers, or the rent goes up or, she pays for water if she wants you to install a larger unit.

Stays in my wallet until I need it. I own a 90 year old duplex and my tenant is my M.I.L., so...…. I tend to NOT spend on things I want.....

Not sure how young / nimble you are, but, I always try to hop in my truck **** first and give my boots a good couple of kicks together to kick some of the snow off before swinging them in. Before I put weathertech floor mats in my truck I would take my floor mat inside every week or so and...
