Here's a hydraulic puller I made a few years ago to get an impeller out of a jet boat pump. It uses a Harbor Freight porta-puller set. It was one of the stubbornest jobs I've done, but it finally came off. More photos and full writeup here: http://www.davewilson.cc/Boat/JetBoat10/

I've got one of those lights, and was using it last night. I really like it because I don't burn myself on it, and I haven't broken it yet. But it is nowhere near as bright as a halogen. So yes, I'd like a super-bright version of it. But I'd probably just buy instead of build.

Here's the best, most detailed tool list I've ever seen on craigslist: http://miami.craigslist.org/brw/tls/1733618161.html. All of the Snap-On model numbers are listed, there is a link to plenty of photos, and there's even an appraisal, with contact info. It looks to be a pretty good deal, and...

Impact stuff. My eyes have been opened to how easy it is to work with impacts, but I have this random collection of 3/8 and 1/2 impact sockets. There's some Harbor Freight sockets marked in both standard and metric, some ancient Craftsman and Snap On sockets that came as part of an auction or...

PM sent on sockets

I would like a set. Sending PM.

I used to hang the front end from my carport rafter before I got a garage. Now I hang the front end from my engine hoist. I put the rear on a stand to keep it from swinging side to side.

When my garage was built last year I had the electrician put in a switched 220V outlet in the attic, thinking I would put a compressor up there. Now I'm ready to do that, but I'm concerned about the vibration. I've read a lot of posts on here about compressors and attics and mounts, but I...

I would like the Ernst's. Sending PM.

When I look for Snap On sockets on eBay I type "snap on" in the search field, which finds all auctions that have the words "snap" and "on" in their title. The only reason this seller used the words "ON SNAP IN RAIL" was so his auction would come up in my search results. Have you ever heard...

Thanks for the replies. Glad to hear I'm not the only one who's been fooled. I haven't heard back from the seller yet. If I don't hear anything, I'll leave negative feed back. I paid $31 for some sockets that I could get at Harbor Freight for $10-$15. They will work fine for my purposes...

I've been looking for 3/8 impact sockets on eBay lately. So I search for "snap on impact socket", and I find "9pc 3/8"DR. DEEP IMPACT SOCKET METRIC ON SNAP IN RAIL". I look quickly at the listing, set up my bid on Auction Sniper, win, pay, get the sockets today. WTF? They're still in...

I'm the OP, thanks for all of the responses. I'm using a Campbell Hausfeld air ratchet that I got as a gift last year, before I had a compressor. Sounds like it just doesn't have the torque I need. It's useful every now and then for spinning off a nut in an obstructed place, but it's not...

They're $129 on eBay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230371550629

I got a compressor a couple months ago, and I'm really loving the power of the impact wrench. But I'm not too sure about the air ratchet. It's got its uses every now and then, like after I break free a nut on a long stud that's going to take a while to spin out. Same thing for spinning the...

I got a 175 amp mig from Daytona Welder about 11 years ago. I'm pretty sure it's a rebadged Cebora (Italian). I don't see it on the web site, but this is sort of similar: http://store.daytonamig.com/180combimig.html. This welder has been great. I've always used it with gas. It will do sheet...

Putting an LT1 engine out of a 1996 Caprice into a 1991 Jaguar XJS. I thought I'd have it done in a couple months, but it looks like it will be closer to a year.

I use something called "Stargon" because that's what they have at the local welding supply. It's 90/8/2. The guy at the counter claimed the O2 makes it "burn hotter" so you get better penetration. It works okay in my mig...

Here's one I built a few years ago. I had a pile of 3" schedule 80 pipe that an elevator mechanic friend gave me, some 3/8" plate, and a big tig welder. My dad did the design. This was really useful when I worked in my driveway in front of the carport. Unfortunately it's too tall to fit in...

Last month I broke down and bought myself 3/8" deep sockets sets in both metric and standard (6 pt) to replace my random assortment of well-used no-name deeps. It was nice. A week later I lost the 15 mm while doing an upper control arm on my Jeep Cherokee. It fell in the frame and rolled...
