I recently got one from from Amazon that is just under $100 with the current 30% off promotion. I used it to see how bjorked my engine is to help start ballparking budgets before I decide to dedicate time to it. Instead of using the included 32G sim card to take pictures and plug that into my...

That is the general rule of thumb in for structural components in commercial aerospace. Material selection generally goes Al plate->casting->forging->Ti plate->casting->forging->Steel plate->casting->forging. Some of the decision process is economics, some is properties. But if you need the most...

Have you had a chance to use them yet? What are your first impressions? To me, Race Ramps look like the best ramps available. When I worked at PBY during my high school/college years, we had a lot of the plastic Rhino Ramps come back cracked after the first use, like ~50%. It seemed if you...

I don't know how often you are changing from horizontal to vertical that you need to be 'constantly' wiping it down, but I just wipe it off once at the end of the job, and that's it. I don't really see how it is any more onerous than cleaning any of the other available styles out there. Also...

I guess 'best' is subjective to how you plan on changing you car's oil. In my case, I prefer to get my car relatively high to make crawling around easier, so I prefer having a larger target to catch the oil with. I went with this one: Like other's, I put Pig mats on the ground for any...

My Norseman drill bits came with that plastic index. I liked it more than I thought I would.

To me, the biggest advantage of a thermal imager over the IR thermometer is it allows you to take a macroscopic look at a system and quickly zero in on anomalous areas. Great at finding out which cylinder isn't running like the others, or what accessory is causing a parasitic electric draw when...

I had this on the wish list for a while, and Amazon let me know it was on fire sale for ~30% off, even according to camelcamelcamel. This is super fun and it is really sensitive. It can even pick up the heat from your footprints when you step on the carpet.

I just went through researching the differences between sr 44, sr 44w, lr 44, 303, 304...and ended up with the same conclusion as you, the 357.

Thank you so much for the reply. I really appreciate hearing from an inside source about how things are made, especially how nuanced details show up in the final product. I went back and took a look at the hex keys based on what you said. 1. I didn't see an "ET" stamped on the long arm...

I recently bought an Ebay listing for some used Snap-on tools. I was mainly interested in the ratchets, but hex keys were also included. When I received my order, I was really surprised with the hex key workmanship. It looks like they shear a hex bar, machine the wobble ends into them, and...

I also got the BOGO offer. Really nice products, and the BOGO was a generous offer. I do like the 82ULB and 70SL that I bought. They really work well for two of my cars because one has a fiberglass hood and the other has an aluminum hood. The light is nice and bright. As I get older, I...

I got the same tool for the holidays, plus the 3/8" anvil as well. I have only played with it a few minutes putting together some stuff for the kids, but so far it seems to work well. I like your idea about combining the two ratchets. It would be a neat tool to have the smaller handle and head...

I do recommend the Montezuma box. I went with the 46" chest and cabinet combo. I have been very happy with it. Even with the drawers filled with hundreds of pounds of tools, they still pull very smoothly and with little effort. The casters roll easily when I need to move the box around. I...

Re: Astro's "Light Up The Holidays" GJ 24hr BOGO Underhood Light Bar + Micro Floodlig Uh oh, it says my post count must be over 10 to send PMs. I saw this post, bought the bar and light, then actually joined GJ instead of just lurking to get the deal. Any suggestion besides getting my post...
