    UV Light for A/C Leaks

    Does it have to be a Tracerline brand, or will any black light work? https://www.amazon.com/Tracer-Products-Opti-PRO-Cordless-Flashlight/dp/B07V9XT5M6?tag=atomicindus08-20

    Diagonal Cutters for Cotter Pins

    What's your preference? Currently I'm using a pair of Snap-on 87ACF and while they're nice pliers, cutting cotter pins takes alotta effort. They have a larger pair called the 388ACF, and then there's the Knipex 74 01 250. Hmm. :unsure:

    Applying RTV ( What is your preferred method? )

    The auto makers have been steadily moving away from gaskets. I've been all over YouTube trying to find some common consensus; there is none. Everybody has their own way of doing it. The main message I keep getting is don't apply so much on that it finds its way into things like the oil pump...

    Brake Caliper Hanging Hooks

    Who makes the very best? I find myself wanting to hang the caliper from the strut coil spring because it's close by and seems to be the only thing sturdy enough to support the weight of a brake caliper. I don't want some cheap hooks that are going to bend from the weight. I kind of wanted some...

    Using power tools to work on power tools

    I don't like it. I gotta be able to feel the torque when I'm tightening a fastener or loosing a fastener. For me it's all about the feel. I'm flying blind if I'm using a power tool. My favorite hand tool for working on small lawn equipment is the Bondhus driver. Super comfortable handle that...

    The best scissors for cutting gasket material?

    This is a long shot, but some of you guys might make your own gaskets; who knows, right? I've been making gaskets for a long time. I used to think an X-Acto knife was the way to go, but I've discovered that the X-Acto knife can't get the edges square like scissors can. That's because when you...

    Stahlwille Jet Reamers

    These things are awesome. Each reamer has 3 sections. The first section towards the tip is a pilot section to get you lined up with the hole. The middle section is square and it's what does the cutting. The last section is round and it's what goes into the collet of the handle. The only thing I...

    I'll never buy a tool box with a credit card ever again.

    Something always happens to the tool box when it's purchased with a credit card. My next box will be purchased in full with cash. The credit card jinxes the box permanently. I've bought three tool boxes on credit and every one of them eventually got damaged in some way. I first bought a Kennedy...

    Starter Motors

    When they turn the engine over quickly most of the time, but every once in a while act like the engine is seized up, that's a sign the starter motor is on its way out, correct? Battery voltage is 14.6V.

    Vessel Screwdrivers

    Do these two screwdrivers have the same tip? Rumor has it that Vessel fits Honda carburetor screws very well; so much so that the screw will stick to the tip of the screwdriver. I've seen it happen on youtube. Honda carburetor screws will have dot on the screw head; that means it's JIS, correct?

    Streamlight Stylus Pro

    I have bought two of these lights. The tail cap has a very light duty spring. When the spring compresses, it no longer makes a constant contact with the batteries. You'll get a flickering light or a light that goes out completely. The fix is to take the tail cap off and stretch the spring out...

    Best Bi-Directional Control Scanner for a Buick 3800 V6

    What would that be? If any of the I/M Readiness Monitors are not ready, it would be nice to know why. Probably would be a good idea to have a scanner that tells you what's going on with the live data such as fuel trims and all that stuff. Being able to turn the electric EGR valve on and off too...
