    Tool/toolbox insurance

    you are correct to a point, the key word in this conversation is LIABILITY. If someone fails to set the alarm or lock a door and your tools are stolen then the shops liability policy would cover it. However, if an alarmed and locked shop has some crack head drive a truck thru the roll up door...

    Infrared laser temp guns

    That's the same one I have, if I hold the trigger down it will continue to take a reading. If I let go of the trigger it will hold the temp reading and I just pull the trigger to read another temp without waiting. Sounds to me like you have a faulty gun. I would take it back and swap it out with...

    Snap on modis 16.2 or modis ultra 14.2?

    I have owned both and hands down I would go with the ultra. The only advantage the original has is a 4 channel scope versus the 2 on the ultra but if your not gonna use it that much that's not that big of a deal. The ultra is MUCH faster and more capable. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

    Shop Scan Tool Recommendations

    I would take a hard look at Auto Engenuity,. The interface takes a little getting used to but it is a very powerful tool and their tech support is top notch! Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

    Digital vs incan. test light vs Powerprobe

    An incandescent test light and a scope are "must have" for electrical diagnosis. That being said I have a power probe and it gets used often for things like lights and quickly powering up a fuel pump to test fuel pressure and current waveform. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

    Help, need parts for a vice

    Hey guys, my old 6" omni vice gave up the ghost today and I split the nut inside the vice. It looks like it has been welded before and it failed at that point. Does anyone out there in GJ land have one laying around or am I throwing this thing in the scrap bin and replacing it?? Any help...

    Help me choose a new socket set

    I would recommend gear wrench. I have a couple of their chrome sets I use professionally and they have held up great and they are not as much of a sloppy fit as some of the other "budget" priced tools. If impact sockets are ever in your future I would look at grey pneumatic. They have a line of...

    I need a bidirectional scan tool and a scope.

    My opinion is I would look at an older modis. Good units with a 4 channel scope. They can be had for $1000-1500 on flea bay Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

    Locknuts, Lock Washers , Loctite

    As stated before, loctite for threaded holes. My preference is mechanical locknut's over nylocks since using power tools with nylocks tends to degrade their effectiness. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

    damaged extreme toolbox

    I don't believe all this talk bashing on STB. The reality of the world we live in is there are thousands of people out there trying to get one over on every company they do business with. They want you to inspect the box, in fact, I'm pretty sure they even have a checklist of things to check to...
