Had to put some new lag bolts in a dock post last weekend and my FHBF80A spent some time submerged in fresh water. Pulled it apart it didn't actually look that bad no visible rust etc. Anyway cleaned up all the internals and reassembled with LubeGard Assemblee Goo (transmission assembly)...

I recently purchased a Pico Scope and need to use it tomorrow to help (well, try to anyway, lol) a friend track down a problem he's been having with his transmission going into limp mode on his 2013 Chrysler 300C with 5.7L Hemi. Unfortunately, my laptop crashed and I can't get it to boot. Had...

Ran into a strange problem replacing an outlet for my MIL. Kitchen outlet near sink she uses while ironing and it used to have a microwave plugged in. Refrigerator and another outlet is on same circuit. House was built around 1975. The outlet stopped working and was showing some visible...

Finally got my son's car back on the road and I get a call, "dad, I forgot to tell you (UT oh what now...), the battery in my key died I can't lock and unlock my doors". Great, the car only came with one key and if he loses it or something happens to it we're up the proverbial creek... The...

*** Done *** This was my FILs selling on behalf of my MIL. Just started it up seems to run fine and strong no unusual noises but I haven't used it. Good running condition overall but hasn't been restored. Could use a new cord and one of the glass guards is broken and needs to be replaced...

I had a couple gift cards from Xmas and picked up a Klein Electricians backpack from Lowes. Seems like a nice bag. Want to put together a "to go"/"bug out" type of bag that I can keep in my truck or take with me while traveling in wife's car etc. No specific plans just so I can have some...

Nothing special but the chisels are kinda cool. Want to carve a small inscription in a piece of stone we picked up during a hike as a place marker for where we buried our dog. Never did this before but watched a few videos online doesn't seem too difficult. Wasn't really sure what the chisels...

This has been driving me nuts thought it was gone for good. Found it today in the trunk of my wife's car had been there since this past summer. Not even sure if it's technically a socket. 1/2 drive about 7-1/2" long and approx 2-3/4" hex at the business end. It's for the forward prop...

Found this the other day in my FILs toolbox. At first wasn't sure what to make of it but appears to be a heavy duty rivet tool. Wonder if this would work on 3/16 stainless rivets? Broke a "HD" rivet gun from HF first time I used it lol.

Got an email saying had an Autozone credit about to expire so stopped in local store and headed straight for the tool isle. Picked up this O2 wrench basically for free. Paid a couple dollars plus tax after store credit. Didn't really need it but looks much sturdier than the O2 socket I have...

Somebody posted a link in another thread to an ebay auction for a 1/2 flex head Snap on Dual 80 ratchet and I took the bait and submitted winning bid. Since then I bought two more a 3/8 bent handle flex Dual 80 and a 1/4 long handle flex Dual 80 (I think it's considered Dual 80 but actually has...

I inadvertently left my Milwaukee M18 impact driver on the bumper of my truck couple days ago in the rain and now it has a weird problem. Pick it up pull trigger won't run but if I detach battery and reattach it works fine for as long as I'm using it. Leave it 10 minutes or so and same thing...

Curved box end 10-19mm Deep offset box end 10-19 Ratcheting flex box end 8-19 Thought the curved box ends would be helpful reinstalling transfer case but didn't wind up using them. Deep offsets seem to be the nicer of the lot but didn't use them yet either. The flex box end set is pretty...

Any of you guys have experience with professional crack and chip repair kits? I'm interested in buying a professional kit that uses a vacuum/injector and UV curing. Don't really know much about them but there seems to be a lot of companies making them. Looking at GlasWeld and GT Tools they...

I bought a 3.5 gallon OEM parts cleaner. It is powder coated steel and has a pump that is supposedly good for 325 gallons per hour. Have to put my outdrive back together tomorrow but will be behind an old barn no running water etc. Want to clean all the old bearings and parts to get rid of...

Currently have a Snap-on double stack approx 40" wide which has served me well and I love it but pretty much out of space. I'm not a pro so not using on a daily basis but have recently been getting involved in more complex projects and adding tools as a result. It takes me a long time to sort...

While working on my son's dirtbike. Had to replace the "T" connector that attaches radiators it runs through bike frame and has an aluminum tube connected from below, which is also mostly concealed within frame. I tried taking old pipe out with a pipe wrench and tore the bottom of the pipe...

Looking to buy a Juki 1541S walking foot sewing machine to reupholster my boat this coming season. Pretty settled on this specific machine. Can purchase new machine with table, servo motor and warranty locally for about $1,800 so budget would be in $1000 to $1500 range for used machine in good...

Off to college this Fall. Want to put together a tool kit that will fit in an ammo box that he can keep in trunk of his car. Thinking ICON from HF but not locked into that. Set of ratcheting wrenches, 1/4 and 3/8 ratchet and deep sockets, couple of pliers and adjustable wrench, some screw...

Looking for a new set of metric impact sockets. Would love to get Snap-on but 15 pc set 10-24 is $575 ouch. Looking at Grey Pneumatic master set 10-36 for $215 (I think it skips one socket). Most of my metric impacts are cheap auto parts (Duralast?) or Harbor Freight with a few truck brands...
