Hi all. I'd like to get your recommendations on automotive coil pack testers, as well as fuel injector testers. I found these two, but are they worth it...

I need a recommendation on a good quality corded LED drop light. No batteries, only looking for something corded here. And it needs to be LED, not those old florescent kind. I have one of those and the handle gets hot enough to burn you. Looking to get rid of that thing and replace it with a...

I think its kind of an odd question to ask, but I wanna know the answer. Who cleans your garage/shop at your house? I'm guessing for 90% of you, its you. For me, its me. But does anyone here pay for some kind of service where they come clean everything up? I had to know :D I don't know anyone...

I need to bend a vehicle's frame back into shape. You can see the problem in the pic. I was going to put a bit of heat on it, and see if I could get it back into shape. I've never heard of this "handyman jack" but my father inlaw said that I could put it in there sideways once I had cut the bent...

I'm not sure if this is going to be the right website to be asking this question, but I know that a lot of you guys must have been in contact with this kind of thing. I'm looking to learn how to do paintless dent repair. Anyone here know much about it? What are the primary tools of the trade...

I'm looking into buying a cutting torch and whatever else is necessary for it to operate. So I wanted to stop by and ask how much I should be looking to pay, for all of it. At this point I have nothing. I presume you don't actually buy the tanks, you just buy the gas inside, and then of course...

Up until now I've been using those standard red colored shop rags that you can get at any autozone. But I like to use them for all kinds of stuff, and they leave behind a lot of lint. Which in some cases, has to be cleaned off before I can move on. Is there something like those, that leave a...

I'm trying to figure out if its possible for me to skip air tools, at least for now. This is going to be for automotive use. So engine repair, autobody repair, detailing, etc. So I wanted to get you guys' opinion on this. Are there any air tools, that just don't have an electric equivalent? Or...

Is there an alternative to this? Something you can fill up with the air hose, but doesn't cost so much. I'm sure the only reason that one is expensive is because of the logo on it. So are there any others?

http://toolmonger.com/2007/09/07/eastwoods-tilt-a-car/ A sideways lift! Think of the advantages! I've worked with overhead lifts, and really, I'm not sure they offer much more than "I get to stand up" instead of having to lay down. You're still reaching up over your head, and working on stuff...

This is just a broad and general question about winch mounting on a trailer. I'm looking for a car/suv/light duty truck hauler, but none of them seem to come equipped with a winch already. Just wanted to ask if anyone knows what to watch out for, or if there is any reason that a winch couldn't...

As you can see from the bottom, there are just 4 holes in the base. I guess they're just bolt holes. It seems most everyone on my street uses concrete, but I'm not much of a concrete guy and I've seldom worked with it. What method would you use, to go about creating the base for this thing to...

I recently put new weather stripping along my garage door. That standard rubber flap that has to be replaced about every 5-10 years. Well, i used nuts and machine screws to fasten them down, for a couple of reasons, but the main one was, I couldn't find any (locally) self tapping metal screws...

Never had these things in any my workplaces. A vending machine that spits out bolts and tools! Awesome imo http://www.autocrib.com/industrial-vending/

Anyone aware of someplace that is running a sale on car batteries right now? Need a top post battery as mine has died. Now granted I haven't had to buy a battery in about 5 years, but I have to say... what the hell? What happened to battery prices? I remember the days when $80 was an expensive...

What is the best of these things? http://www.ebay.com/itm/161942072095?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT I guess maybe I'm a little behind times on such things, I'm not sure. I've just always had those, cause my grandad had them and that's what I got used to using. I...

Anybody have this cart: http://www.ebay.com/itm/391178383239?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Its just an inexpensive tool cart that I can roll around next to the cars I'm working on. It is somewhat more compact than most others. That appeals to me. And I actually...

Hi all. I am wanting to make stands for my drill press, and my bench grinder. But I don't really weld, nor own a welder. I may go check out my local metal scrapyard in case there are any metal stands around there, but in the event that I can't find any, perhaps I can make them out of wood. I'm...

http://www.ebay.com/itm/161953774740?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Are these worth it? Says he has 2 of them. They're used, which does give me pause on a tire pressure gauge. I've been looking all around for a quality Digital tire pressure gauge that stays...

I need to buy a battery jump box, but it seems that it is another one of those things that the market is flooded with. To clarify, I'm talking about the ones that actually have a car battery in them, as part of the apparatus. Used to you'd mainly see them in the form of a 2 wheeled push cart...
