    Does anyone still make metric 15-degree offset double box wrenches? (pics included)

    That’s interesting. I have not come across these before. They look identical to the snap on xbm series - my favourite wrench.

    hey ho from uk...

    Hi and welcome. Regarding Teng quality. I had to replace a head on a Vectra diesel - the replacement head bolts were T60 and I struggled with a three foot snap on breaker bar with all of my strength (210lbs and pretty strong) to reach the final tty setting. The Teng 1/2sd long T60 held up well...

    Milwaukee Compact 3/8 M12 Fuel Ratchet

    That’s a really impressive course of adaptation. Do you feel limited in how much you can manually wrench on the hybrid and in regard to where it should be used? For example by extrapolation: A standard long neck 1/4” m12 ratchet will take you up to 16mm around the engine bay - great. A long...

    Great products. If they established a means of supplying via one of the UK tool suppliers they would find a ready export market.

    My bad: didn’t realise that you couldn’t crank on it and break a faster loose.

    European wiring diagrams for UK user.

    Great idea based on facilitating progress as opposed to actively suppressing it. The ford site lists many open minded countries that have access to the service including the USA. Neither the UK or any European country is on that list: I hope that following Brexit we will be able to be on that...

    Thanks for the idea and that would be so useful if it were available but it isn’t. It sounds like a really good public service in your libraries though.

    5v reference signal generator

    Thank you all once again for your valuable experience. I just really appreciate the wisdom gained through experience and then most generously passed on to others. It would be nice to try the simple elegance of a simple pragmatic approach. I really like, and may yet try for fun the very...

    5v reference signal generator

    I am now thinking in regard to this particular sensor. As the ECU expect to see between 2.2 and 3v dc in order to pulse the injectors,but not more than 3.2 V in which case it shuts off the fuel supply: could I not just wire 2 AAA rechargeable batteries in series giving 2.5v? Is there a problem...

    5v reference signal generator

    I like the thinking and a diy rheostat/battery solution would provide more sensitivity than the commercial.5v incremental step option. Need to test this sensor by substituting two precise dc ( non pwm ) Voltage’s. Will leave the 5v supply and return connected to the ecu and cut the return to...

    5v reference signal generator

    I know that one is incorporated into The Hook: generates signal voltage between 0-5v dc in .5 volt increments. I am also aware that Blue Point provides a stand alone version. Both are pretty expensive options. Is there anything more affordable out there?
