i've never used that style of easy-out with success...but i've used a snap on extrcator set with the fluted rods you tap into a hole you drill into the broken-off bolt - that works GREAT!

i've used a socket cut down and ground smooth to replace an alternator bracket spacer on my 440 = worked great

you're from IA - just drive around the rural areas and you'll see plenty. i'm a delivery driver, so i get to see quite a few people that just put up a big morton building and section off part of it as their "house". i don't think they have it all open, though. i thought about it at one time...

i bought my dad one of those rotator ratchets...it's actually kind of handy sometimes. he has some issues with his hands, so it actually works pretty well for him

this is my friend's set-up. he actually has 2 of them attached to the steel beams in the middle of the shop....not very good pics - the main interest was to be the motor being pulled and rebuilt. must say it was a breeze to use - never used a cherry picker, but this seems like a much better...

well......i took it apart and the white grease in it was hard as a rock, caked-onto everything. it took me probably 4 tries before i actually got everything together right and now it works flawless. my dad talked to a mutual friend and he said his Mac guy always tells him to take apart...

"item was priced wrong" sounds like the hillbilly argument that the people at walmart hear all the time. i heard a lady tell the customer service girl that she should get that item plus another for free because of their mistake:headscrat. i'm not sure i would do that. in college i found $40...

exactly - it came still wrapped in the plastic and in a cardboard box with SK part number...maybe i'll see if i can swap for a regular round head if i can't get it figured out today.

nope...it's 3/8 set i got BIN 1/4 through 7/8 sockets with ratchet, adapter, and rail for 52.98 shipped...SK's site lists around 176 - i basically paid $4/piece! in the background is 1 of 2 sets of 1/2 inch drive sets i recently inherited in addition to some miscellaneous SK sockets, breaker...

it seems to keep slipping out of gear and going in reverse if you don't hold the center...the whole assembly seems to have quite a bit of play in it - is that how it's supposed to be?

going through stuff i inherited, is a set of 1/2 drive impact sockets from 70s-80s... "CRAFTSMAN (model #) (size) TAIWAN" i was kind of surprised that that long ago it wasn't USA

i think both of my dad's garages are menards buildings, but then he re-arranged the doors how he wanted, etc. so they weren't exactly to plan

here's the top box i recently inherited from my grandpa. bottom box is at my dad's with the same 15 years of dust and grime all over it, like this one was until a week ago when i cleaned it up.

i've used "junk" older bulky flip-over ratchet wrenches and reversible blackhawk. i bought a set of Gearwrench reversible on sale...$39.95 - haven't used them yet, as funds haven't allowed for next project to get started, but they seem to be pretty nice - idk if i'm crazy about the cap-stop...

yup 15mm for drain plugs on my mustang as well as on my ranger??? the 440's is a 13/16" (insert tool man grunt here) i only have a few bad purchases... a drill/bit/polishing stone/driver set supposedly 19.2 volt from menards - needed a drill, never had one, just bought a cheapie thinking it...

i've wanted a set of ratchet wrenches for probably half my life (22) and i finally got a set of gearwrench reversibles from sears for $40 - i was pretty happy with that, since i actually went on "black friday" when they had the sets for $30, but sold out almost instantly. i also picked up a...

are you sure you want your tires at 65 psi? sounds kinda high to me... on a side note, someone else from IA

well, according to Menard's, a 26X26X8 is $4809 for materials...the 28X30X8 i want to build is $4864. figure even with concrete and finishing the inside, you wouldn't break 15K if you did the work yourself. my dad's built (2) 24X30X8 garages and did most with the help of friends and spent...
