I am doing a remove/reinstall of the iron heads on my 6.0 silverado. I would like to clean the heads good before putting them back on. I am planning to get a storage tote large enough for the job, but what do you guys recommend for a cleaning solvent? I was going to use mineral spirits, but...

I have been considering selling a few new sets of Armstrong Maxx 1/4" 3/8" 1/2" ratchet set. I purchased these a few years ago, so the 1/2" is a 60t, the other two are the aerospace 88t. They are in the individually sealed bags from Armstrong. I would like to get $140 per set, if I decided to...

How do the split beams work exactly? I've searched around for exploded drawings with no luck.

Next year I am going to start a project that I'll need a metal cutting circular saw. Most of my cuts will be with the aid of a straight guide, so I need the base to be sturdy. I was thinking the Milwaukee 8" would be the best one to get, but I wanted to check with others before purchasing...

I have both SO and TC mallets now, and find the Snappy to be more comfortable in my hand. So I have been considering getting a full set of SO dead blow ball peens, how is their warranty?

I have read in the past that these had some reliability issues, but recently read that the newest models, that end in a "B" have been revised and do not have these issues. Can anyone shed some light on this? Thanks!

Anyone use the digital torque angle gauge? I am in the middle of pulling the heads off of my Silverado with tty bolts, a mechanical angle indicator will not really work well with this job so I'd like to go with a digital indicator. I figure my options are this or a SO techangle. Here's a...

I am in the market for one of these, trying to decide between the two Traxion models, the 3-100 and the 3-700. I probably won't be working on any lifted trucks, just stock full size 4wd and possibly on some smaller trucks. It looks like the 3-700 is quite a bit taller than the 3-100, has...

I may be needing a super low profile drill for a job I need to do and may have to bite the bullet and get one. I am looking at the Souix 1AM1551, are there any other good brands to look into for these? Thanks in advance.

I want to get a decent extinguisher for the garage, before I just buy one at a local home improvement store, are there any good places online to get them?

Does anyone know if PI uses their own ratchet mech on the split beams or do they have the same mech as the Snap On version? Edit: I just checked my PI split beam, it has a 32 tooth mechanism and the cover plate is screwed on the bottom side, where as the pics of the SO have them attatched from...

I recently bought a few new, unused SO torque wrenches off of ebay, I noticed all but one of them was set a turn or two below the lowest mark on the body of the wrench, with the other set exactly at zero. These will be stored for a while before use, so is it ok to leave them as they are set? I...

So, I ran across a local that has two Wilton bullet vises with 4" jaws, so I am assuming they are the C-1 model. I have only seen a few pics of them, they look ok from the pics but are missing the swivel bases. He is asking $200 each, what do you guys think? If I go look them over, what...

I have been planning to build some cabinets for the garage for some time now. These will be framed with 2" square steel tubing and then sheeted with aluminum or steel. I have a few ideas for installing locks without just slapping on a regular old padlock, but I wanted to see if any of you guys...

A local guy has a NOS SO 1/4" micrometer torque wrench for sale, I was thinking about picking it up from him. The calibration date is mid 2000's, would this be ok to put into service or would it be best to calibrate first?

I really need to put myself together a set of good tap handles, who makes good ones? I'd prefer USA, or European.
