Hi, I'm in the market for a pressure tester. This has been covered a few times here on garage journal but i have a slightly different take on it. Being in Europe i don't have access to the likes of HF etc. I'm after something US or Euro made etc, no china junk. I will be using it everyday...

Hi, I've been looking into getting some jacks for myself for a while now. I'm in Europe so don't have the luxury of HF jacks, or those Daytona ones etc. The FJ200 isn't available outside the USA. We have plenty of cheap **** jacks available and few good options. I have narrowed my choice's...

Hi, I've been looking at this gearwrench wrench: http://www.autobodydepot.com/KDT-85915_3.html I need a tool for a specific job i do frequently, which involves getting a really really tight (usually corroded too) 15mm bolt loose which has minimal access. I can sometimes get them loose using...

Hi, Does anyone have any monster tools ? It's a "new" brand i believe. The tool guy was in today, he is an independent guy not Mac/SO etc. I ended up buying some of the Monster axle stands and a bottle jack, they are nice quality and green which matches all my SO green stuff nicely :thumbup...

Hi, Snap on van this week has some of these SNX3-4PG jacks in extreme green on promo. The normal part number is SNX3-4P which appears to be made by someone else, as John Bean etc sell them too. Anyone have in depth info on them or better yet actually have one and can comment on quality etc ...

Hi, I have a Snap on CTC720 charger, recently it developed a fault in that when i plugged it in to the power supply it would flash a red light indicating the charger was faulty. I could get around this by putting a battery in it first then plugging it in. The battery would then charge OK...

Hi, Just wondering if anyone has any info on what appears to be a new jack from SO ? I found these pictures but nothing more: https://www.instagram.com/aaaaabrown/ It doesn't look like the blue point unit.

Hi, I'm doing lots of alignments at work and have come across the same problem a number of times. I use SO flank drive plus wrenches and on certain vehicles i find the wrench is too long and hits the ramp thus creating issue's getting the tie rod nuts loose. For example my 22mm wrench is...

Hi, Not a massive fan of Mac tools as i find a lot of it is re branded China stuff. The Antivibe hammers look nice though, i like how they are 1 piece steel construction. Does anyone know what the COO is ? Macs website doesn't seem to list info like COO. Thanks

Hi, I'm a mechanic in Europe. As most of you will know we use metric sizing. I've found recently i've been working on US imported stuff like Jeep's, Ford F250's etc. I don't have any fractional stuff so i have had to borrow spanners (wrenches) but im looking to buy my own set. I literally...

Hi, I started a thread the other day about the Ethos Plus, turned out the Plus would be a bad purchase. At the time the Tech wasn't going to be available here (The UK) but my dealer has informed me he can get one. So focusing on the Tech only, it's £20 a week for two years, you get all the...

Hi, I'm trying to find out some info on the Ethos Plus. I know it's not as advanced as the Solus Ultra etc, but i can get one very cheap on 14.4 software. It doesn't do Bi-directional but does anyone know if it can do electronic handbrake pad service modes/resets etc ? We have a Solus Ultra...
