A cell phone is all you need. When it decides to give, call a tow truck and have it towed to your place where all of your tools are. Short of a cell phone... 10mm, 12mm, 14mm gearwrench Flat head, philips Mid sized vise-grip yeah... I own a Honda too.

Ok ok.... partially clean. I don't mind the dirt spots... it's shavings working their way through my skin that bothers me a bit :lol_hitti It gets as itchy as fiberglass dust.

^ They say a picture is worth a thousand words ^

My biggest problem with shavings on it comes from grinding. I store the magnets close to my workbench and whenever I grind something or even file something, the magnets start stocking up on unwanted cr@p. I could store them elsewhere, but I like having them close to my work area so I can have...

I read some people just blow torch it?

I took a car part to a buddy of mine one day. I think it was the steering knuckle or something... anyway... we had to hammer something out of it. My buddy set it up in his big @ss old vise and pound the thing with a BFH. I mean... he pounded on it as hard as he could. The part never moved...

As the title states... how do you keep them clean? Mines are filled with shavings and whatnot.

OldCarGuy, this is completely off topic, but I love your storage rack on the right side!

Up to a couple weeks to clean a car? I used to take up to 8 hours to clean mine, but a couple weeks? Really?

3 phase :(

Say what? :wtf:

A computer desk? Does he play computer games?

Other than it pays my salary, that's just another reason why I love the internet. Thank you for the information :beer:

Drill bit the same size as the tap size? So let say the tap was to be 1/4, the drill bit would also have to be 1/4?

So it appears at least 1 of the screw hole to hold the jaw is stripped. Instead of forcing a new screw in there, I figured I should probably re-tap the hole. I've never held a tap in my life ever before. The screw size is 5/16, do I tap with a 5/16, or do I go 1 size up? What's the procedure...

That is awesome :thumbup:

I been using my hand for the longest time, but today while shopping for screws I finnaly found the opener I had been looking for for so long.

Only because I saw Caper's post after it was already painted. I wasn't able to take it appart completely. The paint on the upper portion of the slide will peel off, but the lower portion should stay intact. If the upper portion doesn't peel off fast enough, I'll actually wirewheel it. I...

All I'm missing now is the jaw and I'll work on that sometime this week. Here she is installed and almost ready to rock! As you can see in the handle comparison picture, I couldn't find a smooth rod, so I went with a threaded rod and respected the overall length of the original piece.

That's the machine I have and I love it. You can buy a kit to convert it for gas, but I haven't got it personnaly. I have been using flux core wire, and as I'm starting my second 1lbs roll I can honestly say my welds are looking better and better. I'm no longer shy about taking pictures of my...
