I do very little with metal, my welding skills are very undeveloped though I do have a stick welder. I did buy a 3' 3/8" rod and grind the end into a hex for the oil pump and I will be saving it. I have some thick sheet metal I picked up somewhere and a sheet of aluminum, that's about it...

That is a solid looking unit. But, for $105, it should be... I'm in the market for a power steering/alternator/smog pump type, though. My HF grade puller is what failed me on the harmonic balancer and I think I am cured of that affliction as far as pullers are concerned from now on...

To channel Paul harvey: "Here's a strange..." I have been having the devil of a time priming the oil pump on my wifes 96 Thunderbird after replacing the timing cover. After many different approaches, I finally bought a plumbing fitting with a ****** for a 1/4 inch hose and wrapped the...

You never have the right damned tool when you need it. Pullers will be the death of me, I swear. Thank you. I feel much better now. Here is my question: What is this puller used for? First picture below, for the link challenged. I had a cheapo puller of this type (Second picture) that I...

Here: . He obviously lost his. Send it to him with my compliments. :bounce:

Je ne comprends pas. N'est-il pas fait de l'or? Empire Liquidators sell all kinds of stuff, I've bought a few things from them. At least they accurately describe it.

I stumbled upon this auction for four SK phillips screwdrivers. Are they any good? And if so, how high would you go? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330414859956 I think I need phillips tips most right now, I hardly use slotted drivers. Which may explain why...

For the life of me, I cannot seem to find any remnants of the several sets of screwdrivers I have acquired over the years. I mean several sets. All my Craftsman sets have gone missing (I can find a couple torques and that is all) and so have the off brands I have been given as gifts...

Please tell me that I am not the only one who looked at the picture and thought "Damn, that sure looks like a short 36 inches." Or, the old joke: "Why do woman have a hard time judging lengths? Because men keep telling them that this (Indicate 3 inches of distance with finger and thumb) is...

I have this big ole new toolbox that I need to fill up so I asked a friend of mine if he had any sockets he wanted to part with. He spent a couple decades turning wrenches and I figured he might have some stuff laying around in boxes that he wasn't using now that he's semi-retired. Below are...

Your exposure to the fine folks here has warped your perspective on the "professionals" in the shop. There are a lot of guys who have some mechanical aptitude but no intelligence out there. You don't see them here. A lot of guys work for a short period in the mechanic biz and then move on...

Got mine today. Thanks for the tip. :bounce:

Funny you should ask. I just bought 50' of rubber air hose this morning. It wasn't because I "needed" a new 50' hose, it was because I was sick and tired of dealing with the nice "plastic" hose that I had. In warm temperatures the "plastic" hose is fine if a little stiff. In the cold, it...

What I meant was: "I make beaches" would be a great pick up line. I appreciated your tale of the skinny dipping dozer. :beer:

Damn. That looks awful familiar. I assume you sourced the ring from Adam's collection of parts?

That is what I would have thought... But that's what I get for thinking. All the places had snap rings, but not the kind (more like a piece of hardened wire) that I need. That's why I'm posing the question. :headscrat

I decided to disassemble my New Britain ratchet and clean it up. It was failing to lock up and slipping on me and I figured I would see what it looked like inside and see if it was salvageable. Inside, I found dirt. Yes, dirt. At some point it must have sat in a mud puddle... The innards...

I paid $519 for the HF US General lower and upper, on sale and 20% coupon. I'm happy with it. It seems sturdier than the ones that Sears had on display and cost less. Sure, I could have spent the next six months or a year trying to grab an SO one off Craig's List and maybe even got one...
