    guess i need a brass hammer??? (question)

    Pulled the front rotors off the wife's car today. They were pretty frozen on there. I was able t get them off with a ball peon while rotating the rotors. One off I noticed that I left pretty deep dings on the back side of the rotors. I dropped them of at Oreillys and asked them if there was...

    stanley ratchet action combo wrenches?

    tool brand advise

    Hey guys. I'm new to this forum but not to tools. Over the last 20 years I've formed a small collection of tools consisting of craftsman, husky(the older built in USA stuff), channellock, visegrip, and cresent. My basic concept is if you can bust you knuckles on it then then it better be good...
