    How to sell the estate of a transmission mechanic

    For the tools and equipment I would find an good auction company. They will inventory everything and do all the marketing. There was one here recently that was the contents of a home based shop and most of it got top dollar.

    What are these tools? Aircraft? Weird drill bits

    if I had to guess I bet they allow for a very small 'chuck' and are easy to get in to tight places.

    Dinner/presentation by Renewal by Andersen tomorrow

    Put vaseline on your eyelids. It will make harder to tape open during the 'dinner' . On a serious note my buddy across the street had a bunch replaced (not by anderson) and they went really quick. I'm not sure how many were done - maybe 8? and the guy doing them did them in a day without...

    How my day went...

    What exactly does is "'splain" about me that I live in NY? Taking the opportunity to brag about your shop and rub it in instead of adding something to the conversation 'splain's a lot about you. You should have a look around here - your shop is nicer than a lot but there are lots of shops on...

    Does price match quality in air compressors ?

    I have a polar air bought 10 or 12 years ago that I am happy with. The pump is Chinese, tank made in the states. The motor, weg, I believe is made in brazil. I bought it because it was one of the few reasonably priced compressors for a home shop that runs nice and slow.

    How my day went...

    Not sure what your garage with a pit has to do with OP's broken pull starter cord? Maybe you throw the blower on top of the pool table to get it to eye level? Must be hard on the felt.

    2 post lift placement from door

    Are you sure that is not the spec for a symetric lift? 11/13 is exactly what rotary specs for their symetric lift and 9/15 for their asymetric.

    2 post lift placement from door

    You can probably make it work at 9' if you are backing a car in - Rotary recommends minimum 9 ft for the front of their asymetric lift.. Stand something up to simulate the posts where you are thinking of placing them and pull your truck in. Keep in mind though if you set it up for the car...

    Broken Vise? IRWIN 4 1/2" small table Vise and a Vise noob

    I have one of those cheap irwin vises that you can spin multiple ways on my welding bench to hold things at odd angles and on the first one the moveable jaw broke off. Irwin replaced it without drama.

    Air Compressor Drain

    At my last place I plumbed the air intake up and through the ceiling into the attic. Made a big difference.

    Exotic Vise & Bench!!! (You can't afford it (probably))

    The vise is nice, the bench does nothing for me. Only a sucker would pay 20k for a repop.

    Introducing Simple $25-35 Hub Removal Tool

    When I did the wife's subaru I left the halfshaft nut on. Helps hold the hub together until it pops out of the knuckle and there is enough play in the cv joint.

    Not enthused by the new Tekton Screwdrivers

    I just received a set of hard handles a few days ago and unboxed them this evening. The philips are fine but I'm less than impressed with the slotted.

    Introducing Simple $25-35 Hub Removal Tool

    Yes, hers is a 2015. You replaced the whole hub on those, the bearing is not replaceable and they rust in real good in areas with salt. It laughed at the slide hammer. Got it off with an air hammer and a sledge beating on the hub. There there is a tool called the hub shocker which in retrospect...

    Introducing Simple $25-35 Hub Removal Tool

    I wonder if this would have worked on the wife's subaru last week. Getting the rear hub out was a PITA.

    240V for Tesla Charging

    Keep in mind that in most cases with EV's 120v charging is significantly less efficient than 240v. Not only does it take longer but there is a lot more loss.

    Charge your cordless tool batteries via USB-C?

    Usb c is great! We keep a few power adapters that can do PD plugged in around the house and can charge everything. Our phones, kid's tablets, kids chromebooks, our laptops, kid's switch. Just about everything is usb c. No more proprietary laptop charges that are not only brand specific but...

    Charge your cordless tool batteries via USB-C?

    It's really easy to avoid phones with proprietary connectors at this point-just don't buy an iphone. Everything else is usb c with the exception of maybe some really low end phones although I have not seen one.

    Looking for a nice screw driver set

    I received a set of tekton hard handles today. I like them! I would have bought williams if they came in something other than black but black is too easy for me to leave somewhere and get lost.
