It wasn't finger tight after I torqued it, I'm not a complete idiot. Torqued it to 74ft/lbs and then the very next morning on the highway the wheel was loose. Idk if it didn't torque it to what I set it to and then the vibes and heat cycle of my hour long commute loosened it? I'm at a loss which...

Im blaming the torque wrench because this has only happened with this torque wrench. Ive rotated the tires on this car a bunch of times with my decade old $30 click type torque wrench and never had a problem. This is why I made the thread to get other perspectives being that the company hasn't...

Im having a problem with my 1/2" drive 40-250 ft/lb split beam torque wrench. It's basically brand new only used a few times within the past year. I used it to torque my lug nuts down on my car a couple months ago when I rotated my tires. The next day driving I heard a cycling noise with speed...

RX great thread! Your garage looks awesome. Couple questions for you. Where did you get that scissor lift? A quick google search didn't come up with anything. That looks like once of the nicest flush mount scissor lifts I've seen. Also would you mind me asking if you had a roundabout price for...

Itll be a shame to see it go, however in my eyes its been gone for a while. They lost me as a customer for the most part when they shipped their manufacturing overseas and kept the prices the same. If two tools are made in the same place (China, Taiwan) and one is significantly cheaper and...

haha did you? I watched it with the sound off, I must have missed it. Good to know youre aware. I figured you were, but like you said a lot of guys aren't.

Nice vid! I felt the need to post after watching the vid. I see that youre using chlorinated brake cleaner and its on your welding table. Im sure you know this, but if you don't, be careful with using the chlorinated brake clean around stuff that will be welded. The arc can cause the chlorinated...

I thought about that, I will have to talk to them and see if that's an option. I feel like they are so bulky. I will have to do more research obviously but as of right now Im leaning more towards the ranger quick jacks as opposed to a scissor lift because they are so much less bulky. The only...

also I don't want to go the way of a scissor lift because I want access to the exhaust and other components that a scissor lift will cover.

I have super low ceilings and would like some kind of a lift. I was looking at the max jax but as it turns out that I only have 43" of room above my Camaro (which has a low roof line) and that's with relocating the garage door opener. Can anyone tell me what the height at the first mechanical...

I haven't yet, I plan on doing one this winter actually. Mild steel.

I have a Hobart EZ TIG 165 and I'm happy with it, but there are a few things I don't like about it. Ill give you a pros and cons list in my opinion Pros: Price, has AC capability, great starting out machine, can weld decently thick stuff enough for me anyway, small, light, simple for the...

you guys all have some nice setups. Some really good ideas in here.

Hey all. I currently have two toolboxes, a little craftsman box which houses a lot of my house tools (roller cabinet and toolbox on top I forget the size though) and a harbor freight 44" top and bottom with a side cabinet which houses my automotive stuff. I have a couple tools that I cant seem...

Thoroughly enjoyed this series and all the fab work. Does anyone know why when he MIG welds he blips the trigger right at the end of the bead/weld? Ive watched a ton of MIG videos and MIG weld myself and Ive never seen anyone do that.

LOL it was, thank you!

I dont, but this is the how to I used as a guide. http://www.instructables.com/id/Stainless-Steel-Rose-from-Scrap-Metal/ Took 3 hours cutting all the shapes with snips out of 22 gauge steel and then about 5 hours to make it.

Couple weeks late, but I did have it ready for Valentines Day. Just wanted to share. This was my first time ever doing any type of art like fab. Great part about doing something like this especially your first time is any flaws could be chalked up to it being natural ha

I have it and its an awesome table for the home welder, especially for the price. I also like the fact that you could leave the legs loose and fold them in and the tabletop down and its flat.

Chipper, what did you use to make those plier racks? I like.
