    Milwaukee Packout Setup Screwup!!!!

    I'm a bit OCD and I just wanted to let everyone know about Milwaukee's Packout Screwup. The 20" Tool Tote and the 10" Tool Tote BOTH do NOT fill the space on top of a Packout. They both sit on the front two rows and nothing is on the back row. If you get a 15" Tool Tote you can get TWO of...

    Ball Joint Jack- Harbor Freight 1.5 ton racing jack

    Looked high and low for a jack appropriate for checking ball joints in a hurry. Bought this Harbor Freight Racing Jack, modified it by taking off the side handle. Used it 3x on a slow Saturday for nothing but checking ball joints. It works, it's fast, and it's easy to position where it'll...
