MIL does not illuminate with the key in my new to me 2000 integra. My Bosch doesn’t read Honda/Acura. It is a cheap one ($90 on sale) and works great on my American cars. What is a decent scan tool? Not opposed to spending a couple hundred or so. Snap on and similar are out of my price range...

While not a huge fan of DOE wrenches, I do have a collection of them. They’re not a tool I use frequently, so they don’t have a proper spot in my box. I got a craftsman roll to put them in, but they do not fit. I need something I can access fairly easily if needed, and something that shows...

Working on this axle, and the threads are boogered up. Where can I get large tap and dies? Axle replacement is not an option. I’m resolved to cutting new threads and using a different nut. OD is 1” on non threaded part. Thanks in advance!

I usually have 1 vehicle I work on at a time. But now have a few projects, some for people, not just my flip cars. I need ideas of how to track time spent on each project. Ie: 1/26/2019 6:45am-7:15am “drained 4.5q motor oil, installed new Wix 51515 oil filter, refilled with 5 quarts of...

I have been going through my tools and have found quite a bit of “forgotten” gems. So I thought I’d do something different. I’m going to (hopefully at least) pick one crusty rusty a week and see if I can bring it back to usable condition. If I gather enough crusty rusty’s, I may just post...

Found these during my deep clean tonight. I’ve had them forever, never paid attention to them. Finally took a good look at them. I think I got them from a friends grampa(?) but honestly I do not remember...

Going through my shop, and realizing I don’t need 10 of everything. I’ll be updating this thread as I come across things to sell. Things are for sale locally as well, and I will do my best to update this thread as things get bought and sold. First on the butcher block, is this very very nice...

Found a Waterloo box for a decent price, and I’m thinking of picking it up to move my extra tools from a small Kennedy with no tray, to something with drawers for better organization. Then putting the Waterloo box into my truck rail to rail box in the 4x4. How well does Waterloo hold up? It’ll...

I have a built in small space heater, made by fasco, model 1235p. It stopped working, so I went through it, and got it going. It heats up just fine. The problem is the fan motor. The shaft inside the motor is extremely wobbly, and has trouble spinning. I assume it is safe to say that the motor...

I have a small collection of repair manuals (chiltons, Haynes, clymer, etc) that currently reside in an overhead cabinet in the shop. I’ve been debating wether I should put them in the house on a shelf, or keep them in the shop. In the house, they are generally protected from the elements...

Went to the pawn shop in search of a cheap 1/2” drive to keep in my roadside box. Saw this and couldn’t pass this up. I’m a Chrysler fan, and the selector reminds me of the forward look era emblem Chrysler used in the 50’s. There is no patent number on this one, so I cannot search by number...

The RHFT thread got me to thinking about the old ratchets I keep as backup. They “work” but are too valuable sentimentally to use everyday for fear of breakage or loss. I already posted pics of the RHFT that I had and didn’t notice haha But can you guys help me identify the others? I’m sure...

Was away from home for work last week and needed a screwdriver. Picked up a craftsman set for a song, and it had this 4 way. Got home and compared it to my old one I’ve had since I was a kid (~8?). I carried that thing EVERYWHERE. It’s amazing I didn’t lose it. Pointless post. Just thought it...

My current setup is a 10’x12’ shed. My tenants moved out, and that addition is 13’x17’.... I’m still awaiting my garage build. Choices, choices.... here’s the skinny: My 10’x12’ currently blocks the driveway to my back yard. The previous owner of the house agrees that he should not have...

I’ve had this vise for a while and it has been extremely useful and handy. I had to use it in a bind to disassemble a piston/connecting rod assembly. Afterwards, it was hard to open/close. Pulled it apart, and it is cracked. I’m hoping there is a vise “junkyard” out there somewhere...

Through the years of collecting second hand boxes either from friends grandparents passing, cheap yard sale scores, and my own purchasing, I have some loose drill bits. And since it’s raining fairly heavy where I’m at, I cannot work outside. So I’m in the shop doing some organizing. That...

Looking for one similar to the one pictured. Prefer older in good condition. Not looking for brand new or pristine, just something to match my existing box. Thank you.

Hello all, this is my first post, so please bear with me if this is the wrong section or forum. I have to make do with a 10’x12’ shed for my shop space for the time being. My garage is still in the planning stages at this point, and I am here to ask questions, get ideas, and so forth. So...
