Unless it's maybe a slammed lowrider, I have yet to have clearance issues with sticking a jack stand less than an arm's length under the pinch weld (if applicable) or frame. And if it does fail in #2, all wheels are still on the car. This whole thread is an "agree to disagree" situation, which...

Assuming that #2 you wouldn't jack the car up, remove wheel , then add the stand, it's technically safer than #1 If the jack were to fail you would still have all the wheels attached to the vehicle even if the stand wasn't positioned yet. It's ultimately up the user to determine their own...

Powerbuilt Unijack is pretty close

I'll admit to using the floor jack and sliding a stand under the frame but not lowering it for one corner, but just the jack? Ehhh..."play stupid games, win stupid prizes"

HF grabby tool putting in real work

We use almost exclusively 1/4" sockets, bits, etc. at work for rooftop crossbar/platforms and accessories. The lighter, smaller tools fit under the bars much easier and are less likely to ding the paint or glass. It's led me to expand my 1/4" arsenal in my home shop as I became comfortable with...

This. I am constantly amazed (and a bit freaked out) how well Google Lens works! Never would have known what it was otherwise.

Ya, I only have experience with hex-crimping standard copper lugs and it seems to work well as long as the die matches.

The PZ is a fun quirky pair, but seems destined for lighter-duty tasks compared to the TGs. I tend to use them more for grabbing rubber strips, cutting wire, etc. The spring-loaded handles are a plus, but the grip style/feel can be a little polarizing. Don't regret getting them (or their bigger...

I went even smaller with the one below and have been impressed with its build quality. Having a smaller bag also makes it actually possible to carry it when it's full! https://www.homedepot.com/p/Husky-Heavy-Duty-14-in-PRO-Tool-Bag-H-014-SLO/323717398

Same - small stuff for sure, but it's out there. Just have to be patient!

I've had one of those for almost 40 years now! I got it as a birthday present at 12 yrs. old. Obviously thought it was a little weird at first, but quickly realized how smart my Mom was and she knew how important it would be in my future endeavors. Thanks for all you did for me! 🥰

Unless it was clearly stated as such, that's bull$h!t sales and packaging. Your choice to keep it - it's unlikely to give you problems, but you may have no recourse if you do. The world needs to push back on this type of commerce. "Cheap is always more expensive."

And everyone applauded.

It'll be a mouthful, but do whatever you can - it's worth it! I just wish I had grabbed the grey folding table when it was in stock...

Agreed. Also these: Hammer Crimper work well too if on a budget.

Real good price if they are in fact 4130 (some aren't) I got mine from 12vtools.com, little spendier, but good folks, and included stickers! 😁

heckuva 3rd gen

Yeah, because the tags were made in the USA! :LOL:

Never lost anything - I only buy boutique tools, take pics, and in the drawer they go. 😜
