The one time that stands out for me is when I had a 2000 honda SI and had to pull the trany out and the nut on the end of the axle requires a toqure mutilplier (I was 20 and had no clue about it at the time) I dont remember the amount it took but I wanna say it was over 350 ft/lbs, I know it...

Thanks, Now I got to go buy two sets of new tools instead of one.:lol_hitti I haven never seen those ones before. On a side note I checked with my SO driver today and he can get the Tamper proof torx plus, I dont remember how much but it was north of 225

Which ones are those?

Theres a lot of good info in that thread. I skimed over some of it and will have to go back when I have some time to read the rest of it.

Yep they look just like normal torx just fatter. the 5 point ones are called Tamper proof Torx plus. I use torx plus a lot seat belt bolts, bed bolts, seat bolts

simple list Torx (normal) Tamper proof Torx (hole in the middle) Torx plus (fatter lobes then normal) Tamper proof Torx plus (5 lobes with hole) external TORX (these would slide over a normal torx bit I maninly use them to take studs out of parts) TTAP (12 point stuff found on VWs and what...

Torx plus are the same as regular Torx except that they have wider "blades" The 5 sided torx are Tamper proof Torx plus I have the plain torx and torx plus I will get a pic tomorrow so you can see the differance If you have ever ran into a bolt that your normal torx bit fits loose in there is...

I like the handles on my SO. IMO the matco ones (at least the older ones i have seen) have a really rough grip that I dont like. The 24 oz one in the middle top is my fav for all around hitting. As you can tell it looks well used.

I got the same compressor. Mine only has 50 hours on it though It is a good compressor. I can run just about anything off of it and it keeps up. the sandblaster puts it to the test though but it will level out at about 80psi and stay there. But any thing else it will turn on and off while im...

I got a cheap digatal one from walmart (not programable) and it goes down to 45 which isnt to bad, but when im not going to be out there for a while I just shut it off so there is not heat but in never drops below 35.

I use a hacksaw with a course blade the fine ones plug up easily but try both and see what you like if it is a big sheet and thin you can use a circular saw to cut it but it makes a ton of noise and throws shavings everywhere so be careful

If you are going to have it painted with an automotive paint and want a warranty DO NOT USE SODABLASTING. most of the big paint compaines will not warranty it anymore. There have been 50000+ paint jobs fail because of it. It gets into the metal and wont come out untill it wants to. Media...

When I head out to the shop I turn the heat to 65 and let the furnace run once it takes the chill out and then I turn it down to 60 and that works pretty good for me.

In Idaho we can have auto knifes so I have four benchmades http://www.benchmade.com/products/product_detail.aspx?model=9100 and I carry this cheap smith one at work http://www.knifecenter.com/kc_new/store_detail.html?s=SW50BTSAUTO

Even though I have one I would agree this is a small tool box. mine sits next to my tool box and doesnt move. I loaded it with body tools that I only use once in a while but still need to do my job. My SO guy told me that he had a guy in one of his larger shops that traded his tool box in for...

on the cost side of repairs it just depends on what tool it is. I have had some that are 50-60 and some that are over 120. but I dont buy used air tools just because you dont know what your getting.

All the ones I have delt with unless you bought it from them they need proof of purchase to know how much of the warranty is left. if it is out of warranty all of the trucks can send it it for repairs and most of them can tell you what the rebuild will cost on the spot.

Same here I can make quite a bit doing side work, probably as much or more then what i make at work. But I turn a lot down because I dont like fixing and painting cars all day and then doing it all night for money, it doesnt leave me any time to work on my own stuff. I see it both ways, there...

Thanks, It is my "good set" of bits it is just a set of HSS MAC bits but there all there, a couple people dont watch what they are doing with drill bits and dont care so I didnt want them touching, They are warrantied with Mac but if some one breaks one and then tosses it because its broke then...

I have the 30" one but only had it about two weeks and just finished the rolling stand for it and havent even bolted it down. mine will cut 18 ga not very easy but it breaks 16ga so so and havent played with the roller yet
