Here is a pic of Jay Leno's first toolbox. I took this in 2009 I think. This is the box he had as a kid, I think.

No. I use the tools so I don't want them pre-oiled.

Link? I have never used Temu.

Thanks to all.

I want a couple of rechargeable LED neck lights to use in the shop while working on motorcycles. Has anyone here had any luck with a certain model or brand? TIA

This has really been an interesting thread. Thanks to all.

My well-used Harbor Freight motorcycle lift suddenly stopped going all the way up. I was in the middle of a project and could not diagnose it so I just used the jack/lift on a lower setting. I competed the project (1975 Kawasaki Bighorn if anyone remembers them) and let it down, rolled the bike...

I realize and have been clear it's a hairball-level fix. **** happens. In 2000 Kenny Roberts Jnr won the 500cc GP (MotoGP) world championship. In the race that won the title Suzuki was out of cylinders and Junior ran warm-up and the race with a cylinder that had been epoxied with a Japanese...

It's an MV Agusta. I'm not taking it apart. I want it fixed in the chassis. I am aware this is not a textbook or NASA-level repair.

I now own a motorcycle with a horrible repair job on an engine case, which I think is made from aluminum. It weeps a bit of oil according to the PO. He didn't want to talk about how it happened. We think he is getting divorced. My thought is to repair: clean entire surface, then remove all...

I've been reading waay too much on aluminum in ultrasonic cleaners and am now more confused than ever. I want to clean a set of old motorcycle carbs in an ultrasonic cleaner. But I really don't want to buy the $$$$ ultrasonic liquid. I also don't want the carbs to come out looking very scaley as...

A friend of mine passed away with not much warning earlier this week. Today his sister asked me to recon his shops for anything plugged in or stored in an unsafe way. I was able to get into his unattached garage and a yard shed. Walked the grounds. It's hard to describe what I found. At...

Boogerman is the one guy here I never ever want to have a beer with.

An hour? Why do you ask?

That little lathe and some of the other items are very cool. Is there a modern/China equivalent of that small lathe or mill? Sadly the terms of the auction house make it seem like a deeply unfriendly place to go and bid. Big fees and they will not help you load even a small box of Kleenex...

Wow.

16mm. One after another.

Subject explains it. 17 year old son will graduate high school in June--he's already got enough credits to graduate now. Typical Minnesota kid: smart, can weld, can use tools, can drive a manual transmission etc. He is smart but has zero interest in going to college at all. He wants to be an...

<<took 3 guys over 3 full days to shift things around and gather up what's on this first sale>> Ah, ok.

I've worked on motorcycles for 30 years. My partner has worked on motorcycles since 1968. <<use plenty of anti-seize, or else galvanic corrosion will quickly lock them into place in the aluminum cases>> I've seen, maybe, three bolts in my life that were "locked in place" because of galvanic...
