    50% off select Gearwrench Sets Advance Auto Parts

    That's a great deal on those flex sockets. I grabbed both sets from one of my local stores last week. Looked like they had been hanging on the rack untouched for years, which is probably why they're blowing them out.

    Overkill?

    Overkill?? I'm pretty sure that word has no place on this forum.

    Stronger than JB Weld

    Is it possible to use a larger piece of threaded rod and actually thread the rod into the pipe, then secure it with a nut?

    Automotive trim removal tools

    Thanks for the link. I've never seen those little picks like that. I've had a nice set of Mac trim tools for years, but at $7.59, I can't afford to not throw these in the toolbox. Cheers.

    Locking vs. Non-Locking Flex Head Rathets

    I can't think of any situation I've ever encountered where I wished that my non-locking flex head ratchets locked. :dunno: With that said, I've never owned a locking flex head ratchet.

    Non-professional socket and wrench sets

    I keep this set from GearWrench in my truck. You might be able to find it cheaper, but in my opinion it's worth the price in the link. I got mine from ToolTopia in a sale 5 or so years ago for about $180 (their current price is a lot more)...

    Hellcat Challenger Dream Giveaway

    They've been doing this for a long time (and making a lot of money doing it). Like Tellingthem said above, it's no more a scam than the lottery is a scam. I do have to point out one hilarious note in the rules. Section 8- Verification of conditional winners: " If the Conditional Grand-Prize...

    Stainless work surface for tool box

    In my decade of having a stainless top on my tool box, I don't know why this never occurred to me. Mind blown.

    Scaffolding of some sort? :dunno:

    Transmission Seal Pullers

    This is my tool of choice. And I'll be honest, I didn't know that it was meant for cotter pins until now.

    Lawn roller squashed

    I would think that a slide hammer would work if you heat the entire area with a torch at the same time. Like ilovevocs said above, though, you'll still need some shrinking to get everything back in line. And forgive my ignorance on this topic, but what the heck is a lawn roller used for?

    Lets Talk about Hand Soap.

    At a shop I used to work at, the owner got this stuff and I can't for the life of me remember what it was called. It was a typical style orange/citrus hand cleaner, but it was by far the BEST hand cleaner I've ever used. He used to tell me that ZEP salesmen (usually a different person every...

    Interesting lingo at your place of employment

    A couple I haven't seen on here yet from my time as an auto mechanic: persuader = pry bar negotiator = hammer gorilla snot = the yellow adhesive (3M brand) for weatherstrips heat wrench = torch gravy = a job that pays way more time than it takes to complete (gravy work) I now work for a...
