    Engine block crack check

    There is a mark on the head gasket surface of my cast iron block (4cyl CW), and I need to determine if it's a crack or a scratch. What type of test should I use? Is this something an automotive machine shop can check? The block is still assembled and painted.

    Who makes good AN Wrenches?

    Who makes decent AN wrenches? I bought a Blue Point set, but after closer inspection I will be returning them. My friend has a Summit Racing set and they look better at half the price! The Blue Points are really rough inside, the whole point of these is to keep the fittings looking good...

    Are "good" die grinders that much better than cheap ones?

    There are certain tools where the quality difference is huge between top-end and junk - like Ratchets or flare nut wrenches. Then there are other things where the quality difference is minimal, like sledge hammers and prybars. How do die grinders compare? I bought a few more Harbor Freight $8...

    Modifying a tool tray

    I like the trays that most Snap-on sets come with, but a lot of them take up too much space. I modified my Torx tray so it still maintains the function and the sockets are easy to grab, but I trimmed off the unused areas and the slots I will never use. This tray includes 3 slots I will never...

    I'm looking for two enormous toolbox threads/links

    I have been searching for two threads/posts/links that I remember reading on here. Both are HUGE Snap-on KRL toolboxes. The first one was red, the guy was a fabricator and the whole box was absolutely packed. I think it was a KRL1024 roll cab with 1201/1202 top chests. I believe this was a...

    Cutting a windshield?

    I removed the windshield on my 94 Jetta. I have a new one, but I want to cut the old PA Inspection stickers out of the old cracked glass. Can I score and snap curved laminated glass or is there a way to cut it?

    Is this Proto dolly real?

    I bought a Proto body dolly on ebay, there were no other bidders and I wasn't sure Proto even made dollies. At $10 I don't really care if it's Proto or not, the hardness is right and I will sand it into a useable piece. It's forged, but only the bottom is actually finished. It looks like...

    Edit: I'm just going to turn this into my hammer restoration thread :) I took my first shot at hammer restoration today. I bought this BF603 pick hammer on Ebay for $20 shipped. I wasn't expecting much, but the price wasn't bad. I cut off the ugly handle that was on it. It's a 1993...

    Snapon KR660 - ball bearing or friction slides?

    There has been an old KR-660 roller on my local craigslist for a while. It's not my first choice, but it may be a better option than the HF 13-drawer or Craftsman 40" Griplatch I'm also considering. Were these ball bearing or friction slides? I have no idea the year or condition, but I...

    Facom surprise...Taiwan!

    I bought two Facom thin open-end wrenches from Mcmaster, 31.14x15 and 31.16x17. MSC and Ultimate Garage also sell them, but nobody mentions a country of origin. I was a bit surprised to see Taiwan, especially at $20 each. They're still half the price of Snap-on or Mac so I can't really...

    What's the latest opinion on SK?

    "SK" is too short for the search, and I've been away from these forums for a few months in an effort to save money :) I'm in the market for some 12-point 1/4" drive sockets. I remember reading that SK had some quality issues recently, has anyone tried the new stuff? I really want the Snap-on...

    Is this Dayton/DeVilbiss compressor worth keeping?

    37º flaring tools - Mastercool vs. Imperial Eastman

    I'm looking for a good 37º flaring tool to make AN and hydraulic hardlines. The hydraulic stuff (lowriders) will be .065 wall annealed stainless steel up to 1/2" diameter, so the cheapie tools won't work. I've been searching around, and it looks like the Imperial Eastman 400-F and the...
