    Body work tools

    I was looking at this set on Amazon, but I just couldn't get past the shipping (300$) plus the import tax (390$). With authorized dealer I got it for only 100$ more than without shipping and import tax on Amazon.

    Body work tools

    Quite some time ago when I knew nothing about bodywork tools I bought a cheap set at Autozone for something like 25$. I was just starting to learn the art of bodywork on my Camaro and although I did not expect much from cheap Chinese set, the quality of the tools was really really bad...

    Show me your compressor cabinets

    They are pneumatic silencers. Normally they are used to reduce noise generated by the release of exhaust air from a valve port, but they also work the other way. And since the inside is made from some kind hard foam material, it also acts as a filter. They are designed for flow from inside...

    Did I do good - Air compression

    I just cleaned it a bit, and put fresh oil into it (although it came with oil in the pump, but I changed it anyway). It takes about 5 minutes to charge from 0 to 135psi. And I expected it to be far louder then it is... so another + for it. The only thing I regret is that I bought a cheap made...

    Ratchet wrench - how to disassemble

    Hi guys A few days ago I came across some second hand HUSKY ratchet wrenches. Even though they're second hand I love to work with them and the ratchet part feels very nice (counted 90-something clicks per revolution) However, the 17mm wrench had the lever stuck in the middle and the rotating...
