we have no luck with our SO guys, first one lost route due to driving impared and crashing his truck, next guy can't bother to show up for weeks at a time. we have many new mechanics, he sold them boxes, can't bother to show up, or even run their cards for payment, then turned one over to...

Cheap craftsman I'm borrowing and husky found on clearance I'm using until my lista is built (Feb 20!)

SO all the way! I love the length, cman rp feel like a bar of lead to me now. I use them at home on the car. I have a Mac wrench, it is shorter than SO so I don't like it, the cman pro are nice, the small sizes were longer than SO, but not any more. I still use cman rp for rusted nuts, SO are...

most likely the carb seals are gone from ethanol. fuel systems not made to handle 10% ethanol end up with seals and line being eaten from the inside. I got a nice craftsman self propelled lawn mower for free due to ethanol. Ethanol collects water, water sinks to the bottom of the carb and gas...

I thought Lista boxes came with drawer liners? I've had every type of drawer liner except the thick foam. all of them creep and the fix is easy. A small 1" dot of RTV on each corner of the liner and it will never move again. I prefer the kind that is sold as drawer liner, shelf liner or carpet...

anybody tried that new borescope that uses your smartphone as the screen? I keep seeing them at home depot... so tempting! :drool:

check with the http://www.yardstore.com/search.htm they are a used/surplus outfit in Wichita, KS, they buy stuff from the aircraft assembly lines. Even if their website doesn't show it, they most likely have anything used for Aircraft sheetmetal. from rivet guns and bucking bars to the most...

i got a folding had truck to use for work, the pink one was cheaper than the regular one, the great part is that I don't have to keep it locked up, and nobody has stollen it in a couple years now. Now I need to find a pink cover for my mechanics rolling chair.

If you are a perfectionist, aircraft work might suit you better. There is no book rate garbage working on aircraft you get paid by the hour, whatever it takes you, it takes. You will work under time pressures at different times, but doing the job correctly and safely is more important than fast...

Never did pinewood derby, but my kids are in Awana, and they have a Gran Prix which is pretty much the same, using the same track. the first tool you must have is a good vise to clamp the block into, kids running a saw are wild and have poor tool control, save your skin and theirs, use rubber to...

it will depend on your tax bracket and other deductions. Only trust a tax pro to get it right. you will need reciepts. I was able to deduct my tools for many years (airplane mechanic) then we had kids, bought a house, and the deductions for the interest and child tax credit meant it wasn't...

I find the shower is where many of them come, of course I shower first thing in the morning after sleeping. It really helps to be a visual thinker since I can't write or sketch in the shower.

looks a lot like my dream car, a factory five cobra.

The snap on was good, after I get the lista I'll do a comparison. The issue for me was the drawer sizes. my cheapo International tool box had deeper drawers, and I used the depth to buy SO wrench racks that stood the wrenches up. (the ones with the red plastic loops) I also used them for my...

I ended up choosing a bigger model, cost a few $ more but worth it for a rest of my life purchase.

I got the maxx acess kit, I needed one specific size for one job that nothing else would work for, once I priced out the ratchet and socket size I needed for the job, it was cheaper to buy the set. I carry it in my road bag of tools and have found it isn't the gimick I thought it was, I actually...

finally managed to sell my old SO Harley Davidson box, just got off the phone with Joe from Motorhead Extraordinaire, can't wait for my new Lista to be built! :drool: the best part was the CFO gave me $3,000 max to spend, Motorhead beat that by a few dollars with tax! I can't believe the...

Once I sell my H-D snap-on, a new Lists from Motorhead extrodinair, otherwise I only buy what I need for work

I'm an airplane mechanic, a great job as most kids today only know how to push buttons, not turn wrenches or trouble shoot circuits. I told my son do what people need and you will have work, heating and wiring will always be needed, and are a lot cleaner than plumbing or fixing cars. I did the...
