I have a scissors lift that raises straight up, as it looks like yours does, also. Don't forget the air supply for the safety lock release. I like your lift with the center area open (like mine). You are going to love it. I use mine all of the time as it is handy and versatile for all sorts of...

Cool stuff. Big buildings, where big things are built, are wild. A couple years ago, I was working in NASA's Michoud Assembly Facility, in New Orleans. Not as big as some mentioned, only 43 environmentally controlled acres under one roof. Among many things, they built the first stage of the...

I have an older black handle one and use it for all sorts of things. What a great go-to tool. If I had to replace my radiator hoses, every time I remove one of them, I would be a poor person ...and a rather stupid one.

x2 Actually, I never use them, anymore. I use my baby Makita cordless. I use the tool's clutch when assembling, etc.

I use a fairly small pair of Snap-On flush cuts. Its snout is plenty narrow to get in tight places, but plenty sharp and strong to cut large tie wraps. I once worked at an off-road (Baja type) fab shop and we were nearly fired if we didn't cut them flush. Usually with the flush cut dykes or a...

Cool idea, but they are a bit fat around the business ends and they look a bit unfinished. And while they are trying to match SAE with metric, they are leaving some of the sizes out (a pet peave of mine). I'll pass.

I think the manufacturer is just trying to make us think we are getting a deal, but they sure loose sales from me. Damn idiots! I use all of them from 7mm - 19mm and then some. My Dodge Magnum uses 16 and 18 on some of the suspension bolts (Mercedes).

Yep, on the indicator. I figured someone would get on that. Ha ha I tried some of my better indicators, but I went and bought this digital one and it worked the best. The motor runs like a Swiss watch (one with a bit of grunt). The calipers, front and rear, are stock Brembos, but with a two...

Ah, good eyes, Chris. It's already in my Dodge Magnum SRT8. Sorry for the extra large photo.

Cheers. Good one! When getting one, I would suggest one with four points on the ground. Just a bit more stable It is a bit bulky and could whittle it down a bit, but it works fine on my motor.

Here are a couple tools that I made to keep my costs down. Added a cheap drill motor and foot switch to a manual ring filer Built a rod bolt stretch gauge. It is so nice to watch the change as you tighten. Welded some hydraulic lifters to make them solid, for push rod length check. (I...

Yep, I did the black soot method for years and then someone told me about the Sharpie method, much easier. Plus, it keeps the little floaties away.

I use my lightweight and small 12v Makita drill and impact almost every time I work on my car. I don't like to final tighten the lugs nuts and large bolts, with an impact, so I crack them with a breaker bar and use the impact from there on. In reverse for the install. I, also, use the clutched...

Gypsy, looks like senlow answered your question, well. They do make powered ring filers and are pretty cool as you can set the amount to be taken off, but they are rather expensive. As mentioned, mine uses a crank handle, but it is nice to hold the ring with two hands. I bought the cheapest...

I've built them for off-road (Baja type) race trucks. You would fold them down, then air them up. Due to the high suspension travel, you needed a really long stroke jack. They worked great.

Yep, we all have our own opinions and that's one thing that makes each of us, unique. I have several sizes of both the Cobra and Alligator. For grip, I think the jaws are very similar. A couple of reasons I like the Alligators are that they have a larger opening range in each notch and I can...
