But I can make the tool. And in all probability if it is not in my toolbox it hasn't been released yet.....

I tend to disagree and you have never seen my shop. My kit is very complete has items that the SO dealer had never ordered before I ordered them and I first met him in the 70's. Between my tools and the tooling and the machines in the shop and the collection of old craftsman **** there is not...

One item that seems to be over looked. The tool truck is part of the network if you value and use that resource it is value added. I have gotten work from the SO guy and numerous answers. Posed solutions and often sharing scuttlebutt. Not everyone has all the answers and the more sources you...

I retired but quality tools make a big difference. I watched a heating technician struggle for 30 minutes plus to try and remove a circulating pump he gave up. There was no access to one nut. I said give me a minute went to the SO box picked out an assortment and about two minutes later was...

Nothing ever takes five minutes. If you spend 500 he does not make 500.....

Scammers work when you are driven to believe your getting a good deal. Everyone seeks out the U-**** Award, and if your very heavy in that direction to looking for those great cheap deals your a target. It often comes down to are you willing to buy what fell off the truck for cheap. My...

My dealer always took my checks. In the scheme of things spending a hour to make 50 or 60$ does not pay. Getting on a truck once or twice a year to spend a couple of hundred is a waste of time for the dealer. I can think of numerous companies that will not sell direct it is not worth there...

My biggest fear is giving a list of tools that would give insurance company reasons to drop coverage or make it ridiculous in cost. welders and torches for starters

Seems every time I go to weld I need new batteries.

I am hard pressed to give up my newspapers. If you ever want to see extreme old age hanging butts. Go to the summer nationals at Mt Hood in July until you have seen 60 to 90 year old's in speed suits you have not seen much

I had several fights with companies only putting out service manuals in video only. Guess who won those fights?

This is going in the same direction as Pearls Before Swine urinal cake joke.

Only had a couple of jobs like that. One of the joys of racing that backstabbers don't work in a team environment they often have no assets to contribute. Not like you can stab your way to the top and be a driver. Plus your more focused on messing with the other teams. Good luck with the...

Yes but you will always run into somebody who claims cheap and minimalist modes and claim a vise grip will cover all the sizes.....

Over the years I have found things are oversized or worn and some tools that fit better than others. Been one of my arguments for a full tool chest.

I just did a cruise to city and stayed high and dry and with the closed cockpit and side curtains the ride was not cold at 40mph at 50 degrees with sun going down. One of the advantages of now most boats are just taking off shrink wrap. I ordered the system with a speed sensor and the sales...

Technology sure changes things. I have a picture of my boat route coming into dock the trace goes into the apt building about 100 feet away. I showed it to the teacher and said the boat buffed right out. So I want to be double sure how well it holds fishing next to a rock pile. My hot fishing...

I gave up that anchor tugging **** with last boat normally the guest would get the job. But now all I do is disconnect safety grab the remote and lower the anchor. The other option is use spot lock will keep me in same position, many of the boats are adding trolling motors and using the spot...

I am hoping so. Trip is tomorrow, getting prepped today. Small craft advisory was called today with waves of 3 to 5 so that is a little tough. We are taking the city route. I don't mind fast cars, boats at high speed need survival cockpits, I would rather fish in peace than rocket on the water...

The boat was bought in Westhampton. It is 92 miles by water to home in PW. The big issues is the exit at Center Moriches is not marked for navigation aids and needs to be dredged. My forward scanning sonar is going to get a workout in that location. It was 1K to fuel up the boat but it did hit...
