You're not going to lose much oil from just removing the old filter. There'll be a little but just put rag under it as you twist it off. Maybe a pan under it to keep drips off the driveway if you want. Spin the new filter on and recheck the level on the dip stick and add a little if...

Yeah, I would just change the filter when you can and recheck the oil level.

I just got the 1/2 inch impact and the charger in the top picture. The charger came with one 2ah battery (I bought the charger/battery kit separately from the tool). I tried to research them too and the best I could come up with is that the smaller bottom charger is the one that typically is...

I use a hand file as well. I think it does a better job and just takes a few minutes. I don't think they're supposed to be crazy sharp. The edge wears down pretty quickly if its razor sharp.

:lol:

Welcome from another new guy. Good site. You'll enjoy it.

You're basically Bill Murray's character from Caddyshack!

I typically try to get along with all the wildlife until squirrels started ripping apart my Green Giant Arborviti trees. They were left looking like manicured French Poodles at the top. And if you know anything about Arborviti, they don't grow back quickly. An RWS 34 air rifle has brought...

Just got the 1/2 inch Octane impact wrench, charger kit and battery. I'm very happy with the power it has even with the two amp battery (for home use). I might pick up one of those small cordless vacuums soon and another battery. Not sure if I need more than the two amp version. I registered...

I have to say, I'm surprised that some of these hot climate states use asphalt. I'm in Maryland and I've got tire dents in my asphalt driveway from when my truck sat in the same spot for a couple months.

Very cool! It SHOULD have been a factory option.

I didn't think of this. It's a good point. My concrete walkway off the asphalt driveway is falling apart after ten years of snow, ice and salt.

I wish I had concrete. I have to use a sheet of plywood under my floorjack and jack stands to prevent dents all over the driveway. No fun laying on asphalt in July either. Though if you have the pole barn I guess you don't need to do that work out on the driveway. I wish I had a pole barn...

The best thing to do if your situation allows it is to piece together an American made set over time. Some will be passed down to your kids possibly. If you're a weekend wrencher you could keep what you got, especially with that refund. They'll work for you and if one breaks buy a...

Thank you all!

It's been my impression lately that Kobalt (also an import brand from what I see) is gaining a better following than Craftsman as a result of the recent and sharp decline of the Sears/Craftsman line. I still have a Sears (not for long though) and you can't even find an American made socket any...

Hello everyone. Your average weekend mechanic and DIYer here. I've gained a considerable amount of knowledge by lurking and decided it was time to contribute. I've accumulated four vehicles, a trailer, two ATVs, etc. Now the wife wants a travel trailer. It seems much of my time is spent in...
