I got mine today. Scanned a car that's got a couple of issues, but did not set the check engine light. The scanner found two codes that could be the source of the problems. There's more work to do, but the scanner sent me on the right path. It was worth the money. I like the phone app too.

If only I could find a few that weren't too spendy. See signature line....

Here are some of mine.

That's a very useful rat. I use it more often than I expected. I bought a Steelman Mini Engine Ear after seeing it on sale in a thread. I tried using a stethoscope, but it was just too loud with my tinnitus. The MEE works good and I can dial the sound down to a comfortable level. Sooo...

I like the YakTrax chain and DiamondTrax for the weather here in Tennessee.

If you want hard working tools, you might stay away from the WWII era wrenches. Some have too much carbon, IIRC. Other than that, any Proto wrench is a good tool. Proto 500s are great. I love the feel of the 1930's end wrenches.

I bought the ethanol-free gas and mixed the oil to the percentage shown on the label. I cranked and cranked. Then I got the tractor crack (starting fluid) and it would run just a few seconds. Then I touched the fuel line and it shattered. Gas wasn't getting to the carb. Curiously, the...

Hey FJ! It'll be fun to catch up. You got the number.

That's a good plan. I'll do it. As for the 80's attire; I still can fit into trendy shirts I bought back in the 80's. They are now retro and cool!

The mix formula is on a label. I was going to use some pre-mixed fuel I have, but it isn't fresh. I'll get a fresh supply of gas and oil.

We get a lot of leaves at my home. So far, I've spent about 12 hours, and I've filled around 30 bags with mulched leaves. I have a nice setup for corralling leaves; two hand-held electric blowers that I use simultaneously. The problem is the leaves in the beds next to the house. I got...

Many years ago, there was a GJ member who posted an amusing review of a $5 vise that he bought. He said buyers should give him the $5 and he would kick them in the nuts, and that would be less painful than using the crappy vise that couldn't hold anything.

I've got 250 red bricks from the Triangle Brick Company that are left over after my garage project. I'd like to get $100 for them. I'm throwing in a large bag of sand that was left over and there are many partial bricks that are usable for those places where a full brick is too large.

Thanks! I plan to put shelving in the corner, so I won't even see it. Ah - So that is the reason. The foundation must be covered. I have no experience with concrete, so I didn't have an opinion on how to deal with the situation. I relied upon the contractor to do what is proper.

That could be it. They dug down a ways to the foundation. I guess you need more than 4" of concrete over the foundation? I've seen these curbs in other garages, so there must be some rule or standard. I tried to, but the cement contractor was not friendly. The general contractor told me...

I'm having a garage added on the side of my home and the contractor poured a curb at the back that is 3 feet long by 6 inches high and 8 inches wide. I asked him about that, and he said it was to cover the foundation. I'm puzzled, because I expect the foundation to extend to the full length of...

Well.... The brick layers are coming later in the week. There are three walls to brick up.

Those are beautiful screwdrivers. I wonder why they still use the term "W. Germany"?

Another garage. The wiring was easy to get to, so I pulled the box and the wiring. Thanks for your advice!
