    Torque wrench storage settings

    I inadvertantly left my Tekton 24330 click type torque wrench sitting in the drawer all wound up to 75 ft-lbs. It's a pretty new wrench. On the handle it says to store at 10 ft-lbs. I'm hoping I did not mess up the calibration. Does anybody have an idea if I have caused some internal damage...

    Adding leverage arm to motorcycle stand

    Found my solution, at least for the time being. My great grandfather's old pipe wrench is getting put back to use. I can't say I have ever used this wrench. I have held on to it for 40 or 50 years since my great-grandfather passed and my grandfather passed. I inherited any of their tools...

    Adding leverage arm to motorcycle stand

    That's a good idea. I thought flattening the end of an iron pipe then drilling thru the label and cross member so i secure it with a pin. What i don't want happening is the bar slips off to the side and then the whole thing topples over.

    Adding leverage arm to motorcycle stand

    I'm looking for ideas to attach, on a temporary basis, an additional leverage handle on a motorcycle lift. The lift I have is pretty cool. It helps me spin a bike around inside the garage. However, it's a little short and on my heavier kawasaki it takes a lot of heft to tilt it up and at the...

    What did you do "IN" your garage today?

    Finally moved Gaylord from the old garage into the new shop. My great-grandfather used to take these fishing trips to Florida. Come home with big sailfish like this. This is old school taxidermy, not the b******* they do nowadays. There were two of them after he passed 50-60 years ago. I was...

    The right pair of pliers

    They only holding on some vent hoses on a bank of carbs for a Kawi ZRX. The trick is getting any kind of tool in there to open them enough to slip over the spiggot. I like idea of switching them out.

    The right pair of pliers

    There's got to be a special pair of pliers just for these kind of wire hose clamps. They are all over my motorcycle and for years I've been wrestling with using regular pliers and a crazy twist action to open it up all the way. And then it only works 20% of the time. There's got to be a better way.
