    Useful tools for heavy equipment

    I'll second the long pry bars... some really big pinch bars are good too. We make our own 48" versions and they get used in the install bays all day, everyday. You're going to want a hydraulic pressure gauge and then every conceivable ORB, JIC, British Pipe, etc male/female adapter combination...

    What do you guys all think of fluid film

    I use it exclusively as a rust inhibitor. And I live in Atlantic Canada so I use it a lot. It's not a penetrating fluid. I don't even put it in the same category. Penetrating fluid is like a bowl of chicken broth and fluid film is like pea soup. ... and am I the only one that really likes the...

    What do I need a Dremel© tool for?

    X 2.. with the little sanding drum. I've got a Craftsman version that I make home-made rag balls on a long bolt to clean between fins on air cooled engines. The variable speed is nice. I've also used mine with the rediculously small cut-off wheels they come with to cut the outer race of an...
