I love this thread. That car is absolutely gorgeous and the fab work is awesome. I will never understand why they don't continue to make new cars with lines like this. Omer

I was planning on doing that to my HF 5 drawer as well. Do post a pic when you get a chance. Omer

The sockets look pretty nice actually. I can't believe they have every size from 8 to 19mm. As I mentioned in a thread the other day even Craftsman doesn't do this anymore and always leaves out a size. Omer

I thought that they might do it so they have a better pricepoint/lower price but seriously most of the sets I'm seeing it wouldn't make a big change to just add one or two sockets to. The wrench set was around $140 I think, so adding two more wrenches, namely the 14 and 19mm would make it a...

Every time I'm in the tool section at Sears I am noticing more and more sets that are leaving out a size. I bought a 7 piece metric stubby wratcheting wrench set months ago and thought it was odd that it did not come with a 14mm. The set contains only 8, 10, 12, 13, 15, 17 and 18 mm. I use a...

The price seems high. I had a 6 cylinder DOHC 2.9 Volvo cylinder head redone for $450 and that included heat straightening it to get the deck straight before remilling. They also replaced all new valve seals and did a 3 angle cut of the seats and valves. Turnaround was just 3 days. If I...

All I need is a big compressor and that's all. A big compressor and a welder and that's all I need. A big compressor, a welder and a lift and that's all I need. A big compressor, a welder, a lift and more tools but that's all i need. All I need is a big compressor, a welder, a lift, more...

I have had this Matco screwdriver set for almost 10 years and highly recommend it. Never slips and the grips are the best. They work great even when oily and clean up like new with just a little WD40. Price might seem a little high but they will last forever...

I use both 6 point and 12 point for shallow sockets. I use only 6 point for deep and impact sockets. I find it is less likely to slip when needing a deep socket if it's a 6 point, easier to keep it square on the fastener. For torquing down anything I always use a 6 point unless a 12 point is...

Awesome box. I saw the posting on craiglist the other day but never got a chance to call about it. $40 is a steal for that box! Omer

Wow, that's some good stuff! I'm interested in a 1/2" ratchet. Thanks Omer

I used the same spring compressor as in williaty's post for a DOHC Volvo 2.9 I6. I used a 2" long section of PVC pipe which had a diameter to fit over the retainer. I cut a "window" cut in the side of the pipe to be able to remove the retainers with a small magenetized screwdriver. It was a...

I replaced a rack on a rack on a v6 camry a few years ago and used this method to set the toe with excellent results. The string should be level front to back and evenly spaced from the hub front to rear. Keep good tension on the string by using a bungee chord on one end of it. Heavy...

I first thought about the black one but I bought the red one instead because it has more room. Glad I did as it's almost full already. It's also pretty sturdy and easy to put together. My only gripe with it is that the lid does not open a full 90 degrees from the top. I think I can probably...

I love this forum. Man I wish I had seen this thread a week ago! As many timing belt jobs I've done I had never come across one as tight as the 01 Accord I worked. I tried the heat method, I bought a new impact gun. Nothing. No budge. Then I noticed the pipe arm on my floor jack was 5 feet...
