Hi, I started a new job recently and have an issue with the air supply. It's pretty much the worst compressor setup I've ever seen. The compressor itself is outside the building in a little plastic shed. The piping then comes inside the workshop through the wall. The pipe then goes straight up...

Hi, Will be using my power probe 3 tomorrow on an electrical issue on a BMW. When using it to check the fuses (touching the tip to either side of the fuse) is it safe to use it on fuses related to the airbag system ?

Hi, I know im outside of the USA so experiences may differ but just curious to see if anyone else has had a similar story. 7 months ago i ordered 3 of the new 14.4 volt lithium tools, a 3/8 ratchet, the drill and the screwdriver. The only odd ball thing about it is i ordered all 3 in green to...

Hi, One of my drawers in my KRA heritage stack is creaking due to the weight of all the sockets in it. The drawer has single guides either end of it but looks to have cut outs to accept another set. Is it possible to add a second set to the drawer to take the strain off the single set ?

Hi, Looking to buy a set of wire strippers (i have normal ones) for stripping the outer off of wire without actually cutting the inner wire for when taking feeds and wiring in aftermarket stuff to wiring looms. First of all is this the correct tool...

Hi, I'm starting to do a lot of wiring repairs at my work, anything from parking senor wiring looms to abs sensors etc etc I've bought myself a soldering kit which im fine using but could do with some advice on what type of solder to use. We have several rolls of it at work and all of it is...

Hi, I'm in the market for a good quality punch. Must be either USA made or British made. I have several SO punches but the one im looking to replace is one I've had for a long long time. It was made by a now defunct British company called Bilbow and it's been utterly fantastic. It needs to...

Hi, I'm looking to buy a couple of die grinders, i find myself borrowing other peoples at work almost daily. I previously at another job used 3m Roloc brush discs for general cleaning work on blocks etc when doing head gaskets, water pumps etc. These...

Hi, Wondering if anyone has had a similar problem. I have two rechargeable lithium ion LED lights for work, about 8 weeks old. This last week it's started getting cold here in Scotland hanging around 2-3 degree's c during the day. One of the lights started acting funny, takes a full charge...

Hi, Looking to buy some SO impact extensions when i next see my dealer. Any advice on which to get, they do both locking and friction ring type. The locking ones cost a fortune, but im thinking the friction ring will flatten with use and may not be replaceable rendering the extension useless...

Hi, Looking to buy a Snap on battery tester, the YA2624AEU model. On the snap on website it states it tests batteries obviously but can also test starting and charging systems. Does anyone own one of these and can tell me how it checks those systems ? It only appears to have one button so im...

Hi, Thought id give people the heads up. I'm moving jobs this week and as part of it i had to move my box, which meant taking out the drawers to lighten it so i could lift it. So taking the opportunity of it all being out and in bits i gave it a once over and clean. It's a 40" KRA bought in...

Hi, Looking to buy a SO cordless screwdriver, im sick of doing underdash work with manual screwdrivers all day. So it's a toss up between the CTS661 or the CTSU561 The 661 is newer and uses lithium ion batteries, something that im keen on as i had a set of Ni Cad SO lights and the batteries...

Hi, So having bought a green SO toolbox months back my fetish for everything green has been getting to me. One of the last items i'd like in green is a good quality set of L shape hex keys with a green case or even the keys themselves being green. So far all i can find is Wera, a few other...
