I would highly recommend baseline brand made by coats. Damn good machine designed for low volume shops. I've had my set for awhile now and nothing but good things to say. When you do need parts, coats carries everything g for them. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

Then snappy is the way to go. FYI, at one time they offered 2 different sizes of rails. They had the standard ones and some extra large ones for big wrenches (1 1/4" and up) Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

Being that I am the only shop in town people assume I have thousands of dollars in tools just for their enjoyment. I have actually had people ask to use my lift and a bay for "a couple days" lol. There are a select few that I will loan out tools to like some close friends that return my tools...

As you said, most of what we use in the automotive industry is thread repair beyond what the tradition thread restore kits can do. As far as sizes, in a general automotive shop like mine there seems to be a wide variety of thread pitches out there from us manufacturers to asian to euro so it...

I really like the SO rails but Lowes actually has some that are very similar other than the notches are smaller on one end and bigger on the other to accommodate the different size wrenches. Unfortunately this means they are not as versitile as the SO ones as far as cutting them down and get...

If there is that much dust on it I would look at the drawer slides too as you might need to spend some time cleaning and greasing them. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

I bought both of mine in pawn shops. Paid $150 for the 3/8 and $200 for the 1/2 Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

I don't want to sound like a jerk but who exactly are you pissed at and why do you feel the need to co tact their corporate office? A hutch is not for everyone in the same way some people buy pickups and some buy sedans. Different strokes for different folks. I have a hutch and I'm 6'3" and...

Been doing this professionally since 96 and I stick with grey pneumatic from here on out. Very affordable and they are great quality. I would also take a look at their duo sockets. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

It really depends on the dealer. Mine pretty much sticks to list for smaller stuff but cuts some good deals on big ticket items like scan tools and tool boxes. He does tend to throw in freebees with some deals like buy a 1/2" and 3/8" ratchet and he will throw the 1/4" in for 1/2 off. Sent from...

Montezuma boxes are made in Kansas. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

In the automotive world all I use it for is rotor screws and door latch screws. It one of them tools you don't use very often but when you need it, you REALLY need it. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

By testing a cylinder before I removed the gauge and putting the standard gauge on. The only reason I went that route is more graduations on the standard gauge that gives a more accurate reading that looks good on a repair order. It's all based on the metering orafice between the two gauges...

I replaced both of mine with 150 psi guages and you are correct. Adjust the regulator until 1st gauge reads 100 psi. 90 psi reading on the end gauge would be 10% leakdown Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

Bought a few of them for the mini mags and my 3d cell and they just don't compare to the new stuff. I now have a streamlight stylus pro I keep in my pocket and a small pelican about the same size as the mini mag I keep in my box. My converted 3d cell sits on my nightstand for emergencies and its...

If I was to start all over. I would start with a cart just like what you have and if I needed more room I would get the harbor freight 44 box. By the time you fill up both of them you should be at a point you can get into something bigger like a 72 from strictly toolboxes and keep the 44 for...

My wife does the books for my shop. She sees every penny I spend on tools. The beginning of December she told me I needed to spend another $2000-$3000 on tools and equipment before the end of the year. In case your wondering, you buy diamonds for a woman like that Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

^^^^ brilliant! Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

I had the wire ones and the grips were constantly snagging on the wire so I swapped them out with the ml units and they work great. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

I work on flat rate so every minute counts. You can use a basic scope if you have a good wiring diagram and knowledge of the system but having it all in one tool like the vantage or versus makes it very quick Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk
