    Storage solution for inspection mirrors

    Yah I totally get that, if I had the space for a big tool chest I probably wouldn't need that many cases either but there are still items that need to be in cases no? Things like flaring tools, manual impact drivers, coolant pressure testers, etc. More so if we are talking small items I guess...

    Storage solution for inspection mirrors

    Not a bad idea. I'm big on stand alone storage. I don't need storage for everything but it really pisses me off that a lot of tools these days don't come with cases. It's to the point where I won't buy certain offerings because of it. I'm in the market for a good manual impact driver and there's...

    Storage solution for inspection mirrors

    Hey guys, just wanted to share a link to these lil clear plastic cases I found on Temu which I bought to store my inspection mirrors in. For those of you who are like me and don't have a garage or shop to house a big tool chest, buying tools that don't come with their own storage can be...

    Arrived today from Amazon. SOLAR PL2320 Pro-Logix battery charger and Astro Tools 78113 1/4" low pro nano impact socket set. I've heard good things about the Pro Logix charger and need it cause I ran the battery low on my car during an ABS bleed. Seems like the same manufacturer makes this...

    Just arrived, Capri Tools CP11750-M10XT 10 mm extractor wrench. Bought it off Amazon. I live in the rust belt so I'm sure this will come in handy. I seen this wrench tested by project farm and it came out on top against the other wrenches but the open end didn't seem all that great. I wonder why...

    Low profile ratchet and socket set in 1/4" recommendations

    Yah I saw a couple of videos on them and I was impressed, they seem pretty versatile. I hope I don't have to wait forever to get them though. If I like the 1/4" set I'll probably buy the sets in 3/8" and 1/2" as well. Awesome. they don't seem to have the Astro #78345 wrench for these on Amazon...

    Low profile ratchet and socket set in 1/4" recommendations

    So I watched a couple of videos on them and they seem pretty good actually. Checked Amazon.ca and they are sold out but I placed an order anyways. Hopefully they will be back in stock soon and I don't have to wait too long to get them. Thanks for your help.

    Low profile ratchet and socket set in 1/4" recommendations

    They look ok but seem bulkier than the chrome Power Torque set. I need like the smallest most low profile tools I can get. Access is a big thing for me. Do they have a solid ratchet option? I'm not a fan of flex head ratchets. Seems like you can use any 11 mm ratcheting wrench but the sockets...

    Low profile ratchet and socket set in 1/4" recommendations

    Hey guys, I'm looking for a low profile socket and ratchet set in 1/4. I'm in Canada and there aren't many options. I know in the States you guys have the Power Torque ratchet and socket set but I can't really find anything like that over here. There's this made in Taiwan set on Amazon.ca but I...

    Yah I messed with the brakes on my car way too much trying to chase down a low pedal. Hopefully I get these leaks fixed soon so I can move on to repairing the A/C. I learned a lot about brakes in the process though such as never mess with flare fittings lol. I hate pressure systems and hydraulics.

    Just picked these up at my local CT MAXIMUM 2 Gallon Quiet Air Compressor. Got this to find an A/C leak on my car. Was on sale. I know you're supposed to use nitrogen to find leaks in A/C systems but idc. Anyone know who manufactures these? Is it CAT? I'll try to take some pictures of the...

    Thanks yah I messed up the calipers on my car by overtightening the bleeder screws one too many times so now they leak. I never knew how bleeder screws worked and thought they sealed on the threads but apparently they seal on the tapered end and if you overtighten them you can damage the seat...

    Oh I won't! I read some quote on here that life's too short to use crappy tools and that's the philosophy I'm going by now. but I feel like I have to buy something made in Canada next. Even though the Mastercraft wrenches I have are surprisingly pretty good I want a set of made in USA or Canada...

    New to me Napa Master In-line flaring tool kit 165C. Just picked it up for $30. The 3/16" adapter is bent but I'm going to be using it to make bubble flares anyways so it's cool. Does this kit have good reviews? It's made in USA.

    Looking for decent affordable bubble flaring tool

    I already ordered the Titan 51784 so we'll see I guess. I heard that too but don't want to risk doing the job improperly. I found a used Napa set (165C) it's basically the Napa SER 165C but I think it's an older version which is made in USA. Cal-Van makes an identical kit too. The reviews on...

    Looking for decent affordable bubble flaring tool

    Hey guys, I want to buy a decent affordable on car bubble flaring tool but the only one that pops up on Amazon is this Capri Tools 3/16 in. Dual Head Flaring Tool which is kinda pricey. It does both double and bubble but I only need a bubble flare tool as I own a Honda. I did research on here...
