    Some guys are doing larger low profile tires with duck bill mod on HF tire changer. I'm starting to gather pieces for my version. I'm going to be using bearings to make it a smooth operator.

    What kind of tools have you found in the road??

    I found a bunch of these in a round a bout which I'm guessing that they are rivets. Earlier I found this 1" bolt sliced in half. That was near an industrial park.

    New Oil change Tool

    I made one with a fairly large cup and a 2" magnet on a long bolt. It is a failure, while the magnet holds it on tightly it just doesn't have enough grip on the filter and just spins instead of unthreading the filter.

    Pump ID

    I looked up the patent #s and found it to be called a sample pump. Now I need to find a bottle. Ok it threaded on a standard washer fluid bottle, this thing is going to be handy after I get some tubing. https://gosm.com/products/sample-pump?variant=26037518662

    Pump ID

    I found this thread on pump at a secondhand store for $2.00. It makes and holds a pretty strong vacuum. The top brass fitting looks like a tubing hook up and under the cap is a needle. So does it thread onto a bottle or vessel? I'm not sure.

    Smoke detector problem

    I've had issue like that too. It did it with the old one and the new one. It would go off a day or two after having the windows open on a nice day. Finally figured it was just dust on the inside, so I vacuum it once a month now and no issues yet.

    How to compare the two HF breaker bars?

    I picked up one of these Walden breaker bars recently. It pretty much makes my others obsolete. They make it short so you can use any length of cheater pipe you want and not worry about handle flex.
