    Which Motorcycle Wheel Chock

    I replaced the clamp style wheel vise on my lift with a Condor chock. I like the hands free-ness of the chock vs the clamp. Just shove the bike in the chock and you can let go of it immediately. I then secure bike with tie downs.

    Your first cordless drill?

    6010D 7.2v. Circa 1985. Got it with a flash light kitted together. Used for opening up and inspecting airplanes. Still have both and use them occasionally. Had to buy a replacement battery 5 years ago.

    Asymmetric 2 post placement.

    No, I can get in the vehicles but not like when column is not there. I leave the vehicles in neutral (I can then manually pull or push car to make final position adjustments for optimal lift arm placement) when I'm done servicing, I sometimes roll car back by hand so I can fully open door...

    Storing and using acteone

    I have a slightly larger version of this Justrite brass topped container for acetone. IMO, the best way to dispense small amounts of acetone onto a rag. No leaks, no evaporation, spill proof. Worth the peace of mind.

    Feeler gauges with finer granularity?

    I went this route and only ordered the shim stock strips I needed for a particular vehicle in 0.001" increments. Needed only 3 sizes each for Intake and exhaust. What I did note after getting shim stock, was die break (burr) on the ends of shim. I subsequently took a touch up stone to knock...
