Thanks guys. I love this forum. This is kinda trick... https://www.ebay.com/p/Air-Tool-Oiler-Steck-16600/1043167578?iid=142697993663&chn=ps

Thanks. I was thinking using my own personal whip with an oiler with a filter acting like a check valve so oil doesn't get into the shop hose when I use air tools, then switch to straight shop air for blowing stuff out so no oil getting sprayed around. Even with no regulator, I want to at least...

I'm finally upgrading my trusty but tired Craftsman Japan 1/2" air impact I got from a friend for free 10 years ago and getting a pair of new Cleco air impacts, a 1/2" for underbody work and a 3/8" pinned more or less permanently to a Snap On 203FLSM lug nut socket set for wheels, plus a set of...

Thanks for the spec. You guys are right, I'll take it to the machine shop. I want to get this build 100% right.

Thank you. I was planning on using an MLS gasket because it's going to be boosted lightly, 7-10 psi using a blow through setup. It's an iron block. I wonder why he suggested 800 grit? He was looking at the block when he told me his suggestion.

Ranger Design. They make tool storage products for trade vans. I had a partion, slide out toolbox and a pair of trick fold down shelves with struts in my Ford Transit Connect. Killer products, VERY beefy and well made in the US. I liked the toolbox and shelves so much I took them out before I...

:lol2: Is Kwack considered the low end brand of the Big 4?

I have an very desireable engine block (to me, at least) that was neglected and sitting for a long time without Cosmoline or Fluid Film. It's developed a fine layer of surface rust on the head gasket mating surface and the oil pan gasket mating surface. I asked a machinist what to do and he...

Seems like stamping their brand all over junk tools would be bad for their image. But what do I know.

I must not be as smart at the guys with MBAs because I'm not seeing the synergy between motorcycles, jet skis and snowmobiles and low end tools like the Kawasaki (Alltrade) 4.5" angle grinder I just found while cleaning out an old tool chest. Got that thing at OSH like 10 years ago, did what I...

Anyone have any Wurth tools for sale? Please let me know. After deep offset wrenches and deep 1/2 drive sockets but really anything Wurth is cool by me. :thumbup:

Split beam Snap-On/Precision Instruments/CDI. I started using one. I'll never go back to click type. Really worth it not to skimp on a tool like a torque wrench. When critical parts aren't torqued right, bad things happen (lug nuts, flywheel, oil pans, harmonic balancers, etc.).

I love Wilde. I have a set of their picks and punches and chisels. Really nice. Saving up for pry bars.

Yeah, the ones that look like the starship Enterprise. Ugh, I hate that feeling! No haptic feedback from the tool. Just mush. Good to know they ****. I've read nothing but positive reviews for the 72 tooth Pro Tech line with the compact head and vertical handle so I'm going to get a set of...

Are they the standard or Pro Tech screwdrivers? Having been a victim of cheap screwdrivers for my entire like, I got a full set of Wiha and haven't looked back. But I am interested to hear what the soft grip Pro Tech drivers feel and work like. To me the test of a driver is how long the tips...

Bit of a thread resurrection but I had (still have) a set of the old style round head 36 tooth ratchets with the thumb wheel (which I love) that I absolutely abused for 10+ years. Cheater pipes, hitting the handles with a mallet, dropping them, driving over them, you name it. Never maintained...
