    That's a good buy. It's nice when that happens. Brings a smile to your face when ever you look at it.

    Do you paint your punches?

    nope, it ever even crossed my mind. I wipe em down and inspect them for damage/mushrooming before I put them away. So they are dry while sitting in the box.

    Compressor Oil

    I've been running Mobil 1 in the compressor for a few years now. I have a case that I bought way back when for my cars but have switched to Brad Penn Oil after the synth stuff cleaned all the varnish off my seals and I was getting too many leaks. I had no idea they made compressor oil. Might...

    My Snap-on Collection

    Today I had the chance to try out my newest S-O item at my 4th of July BBQ. Out of all the tools I own, I have only 2 that have Snap-on written on them. I won't get into "what brand is best or are they worth the money you paid." I will say that the Snap-on Mugs excelled at 1) keeping my...

    The Ugliest Driveway Ever

    That could be expensive to fix. You might want to get a Jaguar XKE droptop, a 1968 Highland green Mustang GT, a Plymouth Super Bee, a Copo Camaro or a split window Vette, Dodge Viper, maybe a Ford GT to cover that up. More on topic, I had a buddy that used a swimming pool cleaning acid to...

    F@$#%#$%!# sears!

    I've got two questions. 1) Shouldn't this say F@$#%#$%!# Lowes too, since they didn't have what you wanted either? 2) How the heck did you post this and order a set off eBay with out internet? Glad you found what you wanted. Mower parts have always been a challenge for me also.

    college tool list

    Looks like you have a pretty good set with the 370pc. I'd add needle nose pliers, wire cutters, Magnet pick-up tool, a 3/8ths flex head ratchet and a cheater bar. Maybe a prybar and gasket scraper. Gearwrenches should be considered also. Have a Blast at College!!!! Don't ever let time pass...

    Do you torque to specs?

    I mostly work on Toyotas so using my torque wrench is not that much of a hassle for 80% of the bolts on the motor, usually they are in groups and are torqued to the same values. Now on the body parts, I can't remember the last time I used any thing other then just a socket (10mm) and ratchet.

    Which Toolbox from Sears?

    My local Sears always has closeout/demo/returned tool boxes that are usually a pretty good deal. Intermediate chests are always turning up for some reason. If your local store does the same thing, then it's just a matter of playing the waiting game. I have that Craftsman chest you posted. It...

    1/4" dr Metric 12pt???

    Newer Toyota's have 32mm twelve point axle nuts on the front drive axles. I had to order up a special deep socket to fit the bastards after destroying them by pounding my six point on and impact gunning them off. It was my first Armstrong socket. When it showed up, I was amazed at the quality of...

    New guy

    Welcome, There's a few pilots here that like to wrench also. Many years ago, I couldn't afford to pay someone to fix my car while in Primary Flight training and then College. Learned to fix stuff myself and spent the difference on hours in the C152, and Piper Warrior/Arrow. Good times. -Patrick...

    Tools every mechanic needs

    I'd add a phone to call for back-up. Hell you can never own or know everything. But knowing someone to call in the clutch is priceless. Make sure the folks that help you out know that you apperciate it. It's free and always in good form. -Patrick

    most useless tool

    C-man powdercoating gun. Just skip on this peice of junk even if it's free. Eastwoods Hot Coat has been far more reliable.
