    The Harbor Freight PASS/FAIL Thread...

    Mine was a big fail but I think I abused the tool on my 99 Dodge Ram front ball joints: http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?p=805500#post805500 Others have had some success: http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=56374 If ever I need another, I'll likely get the HF...

    Ratchet "wheel turny things"

    x2 - I had no idea what to do with mine but I'm a hoarder and can't bear to throw anything away. I tossed mine in my tackle box & used them to anchor bait to the bottom of bodies of water. Time to check the tackle box to see if any remain. They're likely wedged between some rocks in a lake...

    The Harbor Freight PASS/FAIL Thread...

    MacPherson Strut Spring Compressor Set - Pass I replaced both front and both rear struts on a 98 Camry with no problems. The tool worked well despite my initial skepticism. Before using it, I just put a little bearing grease on the threads. To compress the springs, I used an air ratchet and...

    I can haz spiders?

    These things must carry live young as well (or that sack is full of them, I don't know). Anyway I stepped on one years ago to kill it and noticed movement all over the ground around my foot. Looking more closely the movement was from hundreds of the little bat's turds! :shocking: Needless to...

    Automotive Scan Tool

    Has anyone tried AutoTap? It sounds like it will provide quite a bit of feedback for your vehicle but I'd like to know how it compares to other software / hardware.

    Upside down electrical outlets?

    Using Red, White, & Green tape colors you not only take care of matching the ground but you also do not need to cover up "Hecho En Mexico". :lol_hitti

    Wow! That will be an awesome project! I recognize the bleeding from beneath the car too. It seems that every project car I have bleeds uncontrollably. I look forward to your Torino build up!

    Feeding New Sub Panel Questions

    If I understand this correctly (I'm a novice of great degree), this code requires bigger wire to feed the sub-panel than it does to feed the main panel from the electrical source. Is this correct? Out of curiosity, what's the rationale behind this requirement (if my understanding is correct...

    Approx garage costs question

    My new 30' x 40' x 12' was $13,700 plus $3,000 for dirt work that I hadn't considered when I priced it. It's built with 6" x 6" poles every 10' and 2x6 boards spanning horizontally between the poles. The 2x6 boards are about 3' apart. The rafters are about 5' apart. It's covered in metal...

    Feeding New Sub Panel Questions

    Unfortunately, my driveway keeps me from trenching. I figured I could run it across the attic to avoid having to cut the driveway or bore under it. I'm a little on the lazy side... Where would the two ground rods go? There's one directly under the panel outside the house now. I'm guessing...

    Feeding New Sub Panel Questions

    Thank you all for your prompt replies! It looks like I need to refer to the 2008 NEC 310.16 and go from there. Also, if I purchase individual wires, I'll need to run it in conduit from the point it leaves the main panel to the point it enters the sub panel. Otherwise, I can look for large...
