    Forgot to turn the torque down to zero on torque wrench: calibration out of whack?

    I know a guy that wont let you touch his torque wrench again if you back it all the way off.

    ASTRO GIVEAWAY - Introducing the 65SL (The 40SL Successor)

    Pry bars, I mean they need to be good metal and have a decent handle but there is not a whole lot of engineering cost there.

    What size metric wrenches y'all use?

    GM fuel filters should be attacked with 2 adjustables. Cause there is a good chance you could have 4 different sizes between the 2 filters. Most of these can have an sae wrench work just fine.

    Impact Driver - One of my Favorite Tools

    I have seen several broken drivers and the bits broken trying to get off brake rotors. I dont own one as a pro. I just use and hammer and a punch with a round end. My method always works. I usually dont put them back but they can be most times.

    New Cable operated hose clamp pliers

    I like mine and its the only type I have. That said there are some clamps they just wont work on. Also they fell apart twice do the set screw coming out, but I luckily found the end piece and screw and have now lock tighted the screw in. They work great in the fact that you can work the...

    Combination Open End/Flex Head Socket Wrenches

    Timing chain and belt area stuff on fwd they are great, that said I only have 10,12,13 and 14. The 14 is pretty good for ford torque converter bolts. Wish I had a 21,8 and a 5.5 though. Also of note most low profile ratchet and socket sets dont flex head like these will. Have em and not need...

    Sway bar link pliers

    I use a pole jack and put pressure on the joint and pop it with the impact until it comes off, but most of mine have to go back on due to it not being what I'm replacing.

    snap-on torque glasses?

    I have had a pair of Liquid brand for years. They are aluminum frame with no hinges, you just bend them to fit your face. I hit them, knock them off all the time. They used to say alcoa on the side but it wore off. The lenses are a little scratched but I just deal with it.

    Tools that have great alternative uses?

    I pay so much for the right tool that I get excited about finally using it instead of multi purposing out of necessity. Edit: The other day a guy in the shop borrowed my slide hammer to pull a dowel pin out of a ****** bell housing. Its a matco puller and it has an adapter that screws on with...

    Does Anybody Else Like Floppy Flex Head Ratchets?

    I don't like locking, I find that if I have a ratchet in my hand more than likely I need precision. In which I more than likely use both hands. I have the super long 1/2 flex nonlock on a crank pulley bolt and a long 3/8 non lock flex on a torque convertor nut and one hand both no problem. Both...

    serious mechanics don't use Craftsman, you say?

    The main reason that I have snap on, like snap on and only want snap on is because I feel for the majority of their products they are the best. Then Im not getting on any more trucks cause I can only afford so much a week. So I just pay one tool truck guy at a time. MIght as well be snap on...

    Milwaukee Cordless Ratchet

    Had mine for a couple of years now. In fact I was like the second review on Milwaukee's site. Been using it everyday day as a pro since. Yesterday it fell from 7 feet. Cracked the batt just a little but still works just fine. It's really no longer an option or just a really good tool to...
