    Need a small flashlight

    I have a small Olight ir2 on the keys to one car, and a streamlight 73302 on the keys to another. Both work great, I prefer the feel and form factor of the Olight better even if it may not be as bright. They aren't something I use for extended periods, but both work fine for those times I...

    Ideas for tool/parts management working on a creeper

    Harbor Freight has one that sounds about what you are looking for except the weight capacity. I've had it a few years and it's held up well to light garage use here, I wouldn't use it to roll a transmission or truck brake drums around, but it works great for tools and hardware...

    Affordable 3/8 drive metric impact socket set?

    I've been happy with my GearWrench short and deep set and Capri tools mid length. Some of the cheaper sets on amazon have a thicker socket that tapers down at the end for the smaller sizes, I don't care for that style and chose sets that neck down and offer a little more clearance. More of...

    Who makes a decent small floor jack for jackings things like a large zero turn mower?

    Not American made, but I use my 1.5 ton Pittsburgh floor jack for lifting garden tractors, cars, trailers etc... It's been used and abused for a lot of years and has held up. These are smaller than a typical floor jack and a mix of steel and aluminum so still light enough to throw in the back...

    $2 Table at the Flea Market, Can you spend $10?

    It's a valve spring compressor for overhead cam engines. The hook hooks over the cam and there is an adjustable fork shaped part that fits onto the valve spring. The handle on this one is adjustable to allow for clearance on various engines.

    Tried getting stuck manifold bolt out... Welded extractor inside

    There are a few universal drilling guides out there that might work for that purpose. I bought the OTC one 5 years ago after dealing with a nightmare bolt (eventually got it out with a nut welded on). Since getting that I haven't needed to use it, I've probably just been avoiding exhaust...

    Flat head screwdriver recommendation

    I have a Masterforce one I got at Menards a while back, USA made probably by Pratt-Reed. They have since changed suppliers and screwdrivers are imported with a different selection. I do see that the Craftsman ones are available still: in stock at my local Ace Hardware, and I wouldn't be...
