Well I just ordered the trimmer and hedger kit from HD. Guess I'm getting into the Milwaukee line. Thanks jerks.

Where are these kinds of prices found? I'm actually in the market for a string trimmer and would like to get into the Milwaukee line. My local HD has the string trimmer w/ 9.0AH batt and charger for $290.

The bottle-top pumps work great with gear oil. They don't move a whole lot of fluid per pump though, so be prepared for a workout.

I'd put GW at a 7-ish, and a solid value at their price. They're actually my go-to brand for new sockets now that I'm no longer using my tools professionally (former auto mech).

My first welding project was a 24"x72" table built on a 2" box tube frame, and I used a much cheaper version of the above style clamp. I don't even remember where I got it, but it did the job. I was teaching myself to weld with this project, so I really had no idea what I was doing at the start...

Not surprised. The most recent model I remember doing this on was a 2013 I think.

While it may not be helpful to the OP, here's a trick with GM vehicles. It may be worth giving it a try on other models- If you let air out of the tire, the pressure change will trigger the TPMS and it will ping the vehicle computer during the relearn procedure. I did this often when I worked...

My TechAngle has to be over 10 years old now. I'm pretty sure I bought it right when the "angle" version came out. I used it daily for about half of that (no longer a trade mechanic) and I still use it fairly regularly. I've never had any issues at all with it. In fact I think I even have the...

Here's that same 3/8 metric mid-length set with a 1/4 metric mid-length set for $59.82. Save a few cents when you buy them both (this has been saved on one of my lists for a couple years now). https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00GIBPJBU/?tag=atomicindus08-20

As you said, almost all engine stands are totally adjustable. I would design the rack first. You may find that a simple rectangle/square bolt pattern will work better for you than one of a particular engine block. No matter the bolt pattern, as long as it's wide enough, any engine stand will...

I wouldn't change a thing on the Snap On metal handles. While the comfort grips get a lot of hate, I prefer it on my 24" flexible 1/2" ratchet (aka breaker-ratchet). My favorite Snap On handle, though, would be the early design of the comfort grip on my 3/8" swivel-head ratchet. It's got the...

Wait a minute, this is actually a thing? A video of someone taking something out of the box? I've seen it as part of a review, where the item is actually used/tested/reviewed, but I don't think I've ever seen a video of just unpacking the box. I also don't feel like I'm missing much. :dunno:

I'll try to get into it one day this week and see what I find. This is an older model, so hopefully replacement parts are available. Otherwise, maybe it's time to upgrade...

The welder is a Lincoln 180 MIG. When I pull the trigger, the shielding gas flows, the wire will arc if grounded, but it will not feed. I first checked to see if the wire was bound in the gun. I pulled on it with some pliers and it didn't feel bound anywhere. Then I looked at the roller. I took...

Thanks everyone. I started with my MIG. My first shot failed to penetrate the broken stud enough to hang on when I tried to turn it out (likely the issue that mrjaw14 is describing above). After that, the wire feed on my MIG stopped working. At that point I abandoned the MIG and switched to TIG...

It's an 8mm exhaust manifold bolt on an LS2 head. As Willie Makeit said above, I'm not sure GM didn't install broken exhaust studs in those heads when new. I've removed tons of broken exhaust bolts from LS heads. This is just the first time I've found myself in this situation (broken extractor).

Thanks guys. I'll give it a shot with the MIG this weekend. My initial thought was that TIG would be the better process for this, but I'll take your advice and use MIG.

I have a broken exhaust manifold bolt in an aluminum head. The head is removed from the truck and on my workbench. The bolt is about recessed about 1/8" from the flange surface. I was lucky that it appeared to be a clean break (flat surface). My first attempt was drill a hole and use an EZ-Out...

I have Matco set which are actually Witte drivers. I love the handles on them and I've never had any issues with the tips. You can probably find the Witte branded ones for much cheaper than the Matco set.
