    Mechanics: Tips and tricks you've learned

    Good one. I bought the cheapest digital camera with the largest screen I could find (about $10) and keep it in the tool box

    Mechanics: Tips and tricks you've learned

    I'd like to learn as many things as I train to be a mechanic. To professional mechanics to those who work on their own cars, what are some tips you can pass along that you have been taught, stumbled across, learned the hard way, learned in hindsight, or learned as an eye opener? They don't have...

    Why entry level socket sets still include SAE?

    We might as well piss about horse power too. Secretariat had more strength and ability than Billy Bob's idiot half inbred horse that licks the electric fence

    Harbor Freight "brand name" tools

    They do seem to be quite good. I've had good luck with just about everything. They seem no better or worse than any other given brand

    Are Harbor Freight coupons done?

    I bought 26 items (some in clearance) with the 30% off anything under $20, being an itc member. I figured just 5 if the items would be discounted since that's what the coupon says, but all 26 items were 30% off

    Why entry level socket sets still include SAE?

    Plenty of vehicles are still driving down the road without metric parts. Just because metric exists doesn't mean sae doesn't. You'll find a lot of uses for both

    Are 1/2 deep impact sockets useful on passenger cars?

    There isn't a need to spend that much on impact sockets, especially when cheap ones still carry a warranty

    Are Harbor Freight coupons done?

    The automatic coupons are useful and the itc has good stuff. I'd rather have the "free" items be a dollar and buy several at that price. I'm happy at that, and the coupon automatically applies (the tarps for example are 97 cents now with the instant savings)

    Are Harbor Freight coupons done?

    I bought the itc and got a $10 gift card and save over $20 on what I bought. Sort of like a Sam's club card. How many free pairs of scissors do people need anyhow?

    The floor is not a workbench. Pick that s#*t up dude!

    More space on the floor, nothing can fall off the floor, sometimes it's more convenient because you're already on the floor.. Several reasons

    Why aren't dog bone wrenches popular nowadays?

    As I discovered on here and put to use in real life, very handy for oil changes. Saves time and can do that effectively, assuming an idiot gorilla didn't use an impact gun to torque the drain plug back in

    Rust Inhibitor Spray

    Does it leave a residue or does it dry? I just want to prevent the condensation from causing tools to rust, but I don't want slimy feeling tools either

    Rust Inhibitor Spray

    I live in a relatively humid area and don't have ideal means to prevent flash rust. Sometimes I spray WD40 all over my tools and in my tool boxes to try to stave off rusting. It works alright. I want to get a spray (not something I need to wipe on) that I can shoot my hand tools and metal parts...

    I was just researching this stuff. Does anyone spray it in a drawer of tools to keep them from rusting?

    SK Tools up for sale?

    I like SK a lot. I hope they don't go anywhere, partly because I joined their socket of the month club. Some seems too expensive, but that's life. I won't buy snap on stuff because it's ludicrously expensive, so SK is my high end brand

    How are the Doyle Insolated Screwdrivers??

    Good Lord, some of you people fly off the handle at the dumbest things. A simple question about a tool for a simple use and you're like obnoxious children arguing at recess. Insults over a cheap tool, grow up and get lives. To somewhat answer your question, I have the Pittsburgh ones I bought...

    SK Tool Collection, who's loving on SK?

    I do. Everything I have from them (lots of sockets, a few ratchets, and misc hand tools) have all been great. I get them on sale when I can
