    My 8-bike garage...

    So I have a Line 6 guitar amp. Judging by your signature, you had a hand in designing it?

    For the Toyota factory tool guys

    I know, I know. But after sitting somewhere for twenty years a lot of them lose a piece, or new technology/tools make them obsolete. Also no one at the shop knows what the hell they're used for or what they are anymore. So even if I did take them home I wouldn't know how to sell them or who to...

    For the Toyota factory tool guys

    I work at a dealership and we are moving next month. I went to work this morning and helped my boss throw out tons of old specialty tools and manuals. Literally an entire room full of them. I know it sounds like sacrilege but honestly a lot of that **** is so old and designed to do some obscure...

    Flex-head ratchets: am I missing out ?

    I never used them and I even thought they were a stupid idea. Then I got one with my tools and gave it a try. Now I basically never use fixed head ratchets and I'm a technician who works with tools all day.

    Awesome garage and great cobras too! P.s.- I live right across the bridge in Gloucester so we're almost neighbors

    Wow, some awesome upscale garages!!!

    I was pretty surprised to see the one garage that had a ferrari parked next to a 1954 ford. I have a 1954 ford and certainly don't consider it an "exotic". but maybe that's because mine is prmered and doesnt run!

    Free Snap On Tools!

    I found a air "blow gun" (not an actual blow gun, but a long thing that blows compressed air, you know what I mean?) under the hood of a jetta I was working on. it was sitting up by the radiator core spport. How someone left a 3 ft silver tool under a hood without noticing is beyond me. Ive...

    Who else got their free harbor freight screwdriver's this week?

    Hmm i may need to try and find some more of these free stuff coupons. I'd like to get the black-handled set too. And I wish I had seen that multimeter one before i spent $1.99 on one :) (i swear I bought it just to check battery voltages lol, no major electrical diagnosis with it. It's still in...

    Who else got their free harbor freight screwdriver's this week?

    So My girlfriend was going through our sunday paper cutting out coupons, and I had her toss me the harbor freight flyer (we have a store in our town). At the top I noticed a coupon for a free 6 pc screwdriver set, no purchase necessary! So I clipped the coupon and headed over today after work. I...

    Snap On Freebies ??

    I get a free pair of snap-on socks around christmas time from my dealer lol. I will admit as dumb as it sounds, they are the best socks I've ever worn. No free tools yet though and my box/tools probably have a combined list price of about 15k.

    I love new crome

    i picked up those mid-length sockets for a $100 a few weeks ago too. Haven't used them a whole lot yet but they are pretty sweet. My dealer was offering the sockets and some ratchet for 170 but I already had the ratchet. So he let me get the sockets by themselves for a hundred.

    Metabo 4 1/2 grinder prices

    I won mine in a raffle for free at a "miller road show" welding show about six years ago at a local welding supply store. Feel free to hate me haha. But in all seriousness It's a great grinder. It's probably the tool I use the most for fabrication and it's never let me down once.

    Chinese Made Craftsman Professional Wrenches

    I find it odd that they call it the "professional" series. I'm a professional-there are no chinese wrenches, sockets, or ratchets in my box. And If I was going to buy chinese quality tools (I try not to but we all do it occasionally) I would just go to harbor freight where its cheap at least...

    test light or multimeter

    Yeah they really do two totally different jobs. thats kind of like asking "which do you prefer...a wrench or a screwdriver?" (maybe not quite that different but you get the idea). Both are useful in certain situations

    Do I need crowfoot wrenches

    im a professional tech and I don't own a set, but i wish i did! they can be really useful and its something I'll be buying someday when i'm making more money. I guess it depends what you work on. I'f you're working on old-school small block chevy's you probably don't need a set, but if you work...
