Installed a new AC compressor in my 2019 Mazda 3 today. I think the clutch went bad on the old one as I could see it spin but never engage when AC was turn on. Everything was annoying to do from removing covers around the car to get access (so many hidden clips), accessing belt tensioner, and...

Vessel 30+1 bitset has everything you should need, compact case, and the bits are high quality.

Don't usually come to this thread but I'm real proud of how this worked out. Found on local FBMP someone selling an Allegro A-750, a pump used in conjunction with a fresh air mask, for $100. These usually retail in the $1200 range. The pump itself looked brand new, like it was never used, but...

Doubt it. Festool makes plenty of other common tools like routers, drills, sanders, etc. that all come at a similar price point compared to other brands. But they are some of the finest tools available. The price on the Kreg is pretty steep. I'd expect a made in China knock off to be 300 or...

Just posting to say that Subaru conversions of VWs are one of my favorite car mods.

Gasoila is my preferred brand. Big box stores don't have it but small plumbing stores do.

I needed something kind of like this to spread the spring seal on a front load washer. Ended up using two Torx tip screwdrivers and going Hercules on it while my wife slipped it over the seal.

This is what matters more than brand or style. Once I learned how to properly use them and pick the correct size, I never had an issue with any extractor I've tried.

I use the same AC Hydraulic jack! They used to make jack stands, but haven't for a while.

Been a while since I used auto paint, but I recall you only want to stir it, not shake it?

I say ANYTHING made in India. A lot of after market classic car parts seem to be from there and they don't fit at all. bought a Tormek with the drill bit jig recently, but until now I used a Drill Doctor 750 for years with great results. Check out youtube for how to see it up; it's how I...

I hope you ordered a back brace with the sander because that's A LOT of area to be doing with a DA. I recommend renting a floor sander from Lowes or Home Depot to do that work.

I stand corrected on the Mastercool can tap. Well, somewhat. No idea if all the parts are made in China and someone just screwed this all together, but it's not 100% "made in China" as some sites led me to believe. Also, I flipping hate how fitting sizes are all over the place with HVAC stuff.

I have the 75-6N and I put it to work. I use it mainly for finish sanding wood projects, but have used it to take a few car exteriors to bare metal in a couple hours. It has such a wide range it can work for so many applications. It even has a super aggressive mode (forgot what it's called)...

Made in China, but ended up going with it since it was the only brand name I recognized.
