got a call from a dealer this morning that makes weekly stops near where i live. really nice guy. i told him that i wasn't a shop or full time mechanic. also told him that i wanted to increase my tool collection, but it would not be a lot as a time. really nice fellow. i liked his motto: "my...

i love this stuff! this is a kal-equip model 4020 magnetic timing analyzer. got it for 15 bucks. fortunately, it's pretty user friendly without a manual, but just so happens that actron has the manual on their site for download. this one is strictly for vehicles with a probe mount 9.5...
