See title. The only magnetic sockets I can seem to find are impact rated. Are there any chrome magnetic sockets? Are there any alternatives besides Koken Nut Grip for retaining nuts/bolts within chrome sockets, that are a bit cheaper than Koken?

I'm looking at a 2005 Camry, whose cooling system has a coolant overflow tank with a single tube (i.e., not a resevoir with an inlet and outlet with two tubes coming out of it). This got my thinking, why is there a need for what appears to be another "spigot" (not sure of the technical term) in...

I remember seeing someone on YouTube that you should carry a variety of different extractor socket types. Is there any validity to this statement? Now I'm not taking SAE and metric, but types as far as (1) spiral, (2) wedge, (3) straight flute. As far as I know these are the only three types of...

Something like this, or the wedge type, except Whitworth sizes. Does anyone make them, if so can you include a link to them?

Hi, I have a 2014 Acura TSX. Attempted to do a fuel pressure test on this car, using no name Chinese fuel test kits. Looked like it would work, but this car doesn't have the typical ports, and instead has you disconnect a high-pressure connection in the engine bay to the fuel rail. It had this...

2014 Acura TSX, about 150k miles. I am having difficulty starting the car. Once it's running it's fine though. There are no warning lights on the dash, which I would expect if I was running rich or running lean, or getting misfires. I decided to just live with it, and put the car into accessory...

Is there an aftermarket manufacturer of fuel sender wrenches. My 2014 Acura TSX says to use SST 07AAA-S0XA100 to loosen the locking nut holding the fuel pump up. Honda calls it a "fuel sender wrench" to unfasten and fasten the locking nut. I've seen people use slip joint pliers, but I'd rather...

I have a 2019 Honda Odyssey. Is it advised not to use an impact wrench when removing Honda/Acura crank bolts? I've seen service information for other older Honda vehicles that specify to not use an impact wrench when removing the crank bolt. It doesn't directly say this though for my 2019...

I'm looking for a socket set that contains X/32 of an inch sockets. I would prefer to buy a set instead of just a bunch of single sockets if possible. It's fine if there are other sockets within the set I don't need. But I'm currently missing the following sizes: 13/32, 17/32, 19/32, 21/32...

Can anyone please recommend a SAE socket set that includes the odd X/32 " socket sizes. For example 11/32 ", 13/32 ", 15/32 ", ...? Looking to find something made modernly, not looking to pay collector prices for something made in 1930s or 1940s. Looking to get a socket set that includes...

Can anyone please recommend me a whitworth 6 point socket set that I can get off Amazon plz. I don't have whitworth sockets at the moment, so looking to get a variety of sizes.

I know people typically spray penetrating oils at rusty fasteners of an assembled joint, from an aerosol can. But I have recently discovered that you can buy penetrating oil in liquid form in a giant jug: Anyone ever tried using penetrating oil in this way? You could pour it into a container...

2014 Acura TSX 150k miles. 4 Cylinder, Automatic. My car is difficult to start sometimes after sitting for a while, there's an extended period to crank before start. However, I turn the car on (engine off) and wait for a few seconds, she starts right up. I suspect I have a fuel pump issue or...

Hi I see people use tumblers to remove rust from fasteners from good results. My question is, does this also remove good metal? Also when using tumblers do you get flash rust after use, like you do with chemical dips?

So, I have been experimenting with rust removal. I dipped some brake caliper bolts into homemade citric acid, baking soda, and dish soap bath. Came out nice. Dipped it into water for a few seconds, then dipped into 5W-30 clean oil for a good soaking. Pulled them out and started getting some...

The control arm on my car, I'm thinking of putting POR-15 on. I'm not so sure that this is a good idea though, on parts that have holes and cavities, so that I can't completely coat it in POR-15 with a brush? Basically I can coat the outside of the control arm only, but there are holes within...

I have tried evapo Rust a few times on some fasteners. Surprised by the results, no rust, but leaves a black residue on the the fasteners. Removes all the rust, resulting in a pitting like pattern. After have used it, within a few hours of air drying the non rusty metal experiences flash...

Does anyone have the new milwaukee Subcompact impact and can take a measurement of the overall head height please? Is it true that the right angle impact (the fuel one) is even lower profile than the subcompact impact?

Anyone know what the across the flats (AF) dimension is for a 5/32 whitworth socket is?

2014 Acura TSX, 4 Cylinder, AT, 150k miles I noticed a knocking sound when turning the steering wheel a few degrees in one direction, and then turning it in the other direction, while driving the car. I got the car up in the air. Without taking apart anything I grabbed hold of one of the front...
