    Ingersoll Rand W7150 free battery promo

    After you get both batteries and the boot, it seems to be similar in price to the Snap-on 6850. How do they compare?

    Vehicle roof patch help

    I got 4 hours into the removal of the donor vehicle roof last night. That got me almost half way to drilling out all the spot welds. I was running out of time so I ended up just cutting it off at the pillars to bring it home for completion. Nothing else exciting at this point.

    Vehicle roof patch help

    Well, my buddy kept bugging me so all I got done last night was melting the lead out. That was pretty stright forward and may have taken half an hour. Just heat it with a torch and it'll drip out leaving nice clean metal below. I was supprised at how much lead was in there. I estimate it...

    Vehicle roof patch help

    I see the plus of both sides. Weld - 3M 8115 and 8116 both show that quarter panels recommend welding at the rear of the panel and any seams. I expect the panel to require a bit of stretching and pulling to get to the correct shape. I suspect welding will hold the panel in place better...

    Vehicle roof patch help

    Apparently I was not subscribed to my own thread. Thanks for all the input. I did not try thicker metal with the TIG, but did attempt to fuse the panels together. The metal was just to thin and it varied in thickness due to the pitting. So, I could not find a happy medium and kept punching...

    Anyone know how to take apart the head of a rotator ratchet?

    I'm in to see what you find out. I agree totally and love my Rotator ratchet in Husky brand. I only have the 3/8", but would like to get all the sizes as it is my most used ratchet.

    Vehicle roof patch help

    Pics...finally! It is really hard to get a pic of the pitting. One is of the entire roof. The other shows the largest area I am attempting to replace. There are others though. There has been some excellent advise. Just a couple of notes. I am trying to keep this as original as possible...

    Help requested to wire multiple lights w/source prior to switch

    I installed ceiling boxes so there are no connections in the raceways. Just flipped all the lights on. It looks amazing in comparison to the previous 60 watt open bulbs. Here is a pic. Sorry the garage is dis-organized. I had to move a lot around to get the lights up.

    Not how I wired it, but why would you want the unused white in the switch box?
