This.

10 years later on my truck (93 f150) and it’s no better. Engine and rear end are standard, but intake and body and transmission are metric. Ludicrous.

Bottom drivers side bell housing bolt on a Subaru EJ engine. If you use 1/2” drive, you have to pull the axle shaft to get on the bolt. 3/8” sneaks in there with the right extensions and universal. No room for a rattle gun, 3/8 breaker bar works great!

You think torx, etorx, xzn, etc are stupid? Try mortorq. Started popping up on fiat-Chrysler products a few years ago (New Jeep Cherokee seat bolts is where I first saw it). https://phillips-screw.com/drive-system/mortorq-spiral ******* stupid

Try it on the website but don’t actually check out.

If shadetree guys don’t need 1/2” then I guess I’ve officially graduated from shadetree status! But that begs the question, what comes after shadetree? Journeyman hack mechanic? Seriously, I don’t know where I’d be without 1/2” drive. Head bolts, suspension, steering, brakes, etc. I’d give up...

I pointed out to my dad the other day that I’d never owned a car with a carburetor (I’m 30) and he stomped off into the corner muttering about being too effing old.

If it’s really her name, I feel bad for her. Can you imagine answering the phone for a tool company all day and having to go, “thanks for calling DeWalt, this is Cinnamon, how can I help you?” And then having some old guy go “your name is what now?” Repeated 50 times a day. Signed, Graham (or...

Love my power probe 3. Used it the first time several years ago working on a set of the suicide (automatic) seatbelts in an early 90s Subaru. Controller was in the trunk, way away from the seatbelts. Press the button on the power probe and presto! Seatbelt at the other end of the car moves...

I’m another one in favor of the max foam lite gloves. Fantastic. If you’re dealing with something greasy or oily, pull a set of nitrile disposables over them so stuff doesn’t soak through.

Place I used to work had a safety guy that would come around and tell you to get out from under the car and then pull the lowering lever without releasing the locks. If the vehicle moved down, you got written up. The hydraulics are not intended for supporting the weight of the vehicle.

Check the HFQPDB. HFQPDB.com. Plug in the item number. Usually the stuff that’s excluded has item-specific coupons.

You have dealer-level scan tools, manufacturer specific, which I have no hope of affording as a diyer-car owner who does all his own work. A $400 scope is reasonable for joe shade tree like me.

Search feature is your friend. Saves my *** every day.

I would think your receipt from eBay would be reasonably easy to find if you go back in your email and would be accepted as proof of purchase.

I wonder what the story is here. The item numbers for the green ones aren't valid on the HF website.

Have both Astro ratcheting crimpers. They are identical to the ones Pertronix sells. You can also get spark plug wire dies that fit from Pertronix. I’ve been extremely pleased with them.

Then why do Modis/Verus, etc come with scope functionality? Had a severe miss that I could feel; OBD had no idea it was happening. No codes, no misfire counts in mode $06, nada. Scope found the failing coil pack. For DIY use, I’ve been extremely pleased with my uScope master pack. The only...

The knowledge on this forum, I swear...
