I agree with Dscheidt. I disagree with you. Truly.

Are you wearing your tinfoil hat when you go on these junkyard scrounging trips? Do the eyes of the other junkyard pickers go wide because of your tools, or is it because of the picture I am seeing in my mind’s eye of the tin foil hat, combined with constant internal dialogue broadcast publicly...

I actually despise Mac, they are the worst run of the big 3 tool truck companies in my opinion. In any event, I think Facom owns Expert, and Mac just distributes it in the U.S. There is a lot of tool snobbery around here, and many are against Asian made tools. The future of tool manufacturing...

I have had it happen in less time with cars that sit, without trickle chargers. The batteries should have warranty still through Mercedes. The problem is that these modern German cars are never truly “off”, and there is parasitic draw occurring always. You need to drive the car weekly, or get...

I would start with checking battery voltage. No, seriously. The modern German motor cars are highly sensitive to proper power supply / voltage and even an aging battery supplying less than optimum voltage will cause all sorts of electrical issues and phantom faults. You need to look for a...
