    Laser Level for forming a slab

    The Bosch is a solid machine but there are many off-brands on Amazon with a dedicated receiver for your grade rod around a C-note. We like the Huepars.

    Snap-on low profile spark plug socket

    I still have and love it. It's a rare solid black hardtop so she launches very well without the t-top flex. She's also faster than the T/A's because she doesn't have all the underbody "aerodynamic" extra weight ****.

    Snap-on low profile spark plug socket

    My 96 formula firebird with last gen LT1 with the "Optispark" taught me many ways to cut down a sparkplug socket and use a wrench to get to the god$$$* 2 under the brake booster. No cool tools around back then.

    Is diesel the best degreaser? and if the answer is no, why do you like being wrong?

    When I worked in a Mopar dealers shop we would mix a handful of Tide washing powder with enough diesel to make a paste. Absolutely one of the best hand cleaners out there.

    I know this ISN'T Candlepower Forums, but I know there are flashlight fans here.

    Adventure Sports Flashlights make awesome Maglite drop-ins.

    Tire Plug kits

    At work dealing with 12 to 24 ply tires on our rough terrain lifts and Skytraks we have never had a problem with Nealy or Safety Seal. They hold until the tire is absolutely worn out; which is the only time the boss replaces them.

    The Milwaukee addiction thread! :)

    In another thread I mentioned that damn drill has put 2 experienced ironworkers in the ER. It deserves the utmost amount of respect. It doesn't look dangerous, but it is.

    Military Technical Manual on Hand Tool Use and Care

    ASVAB can go to hell. I did well on mine and the damned recruiters showed up at my folk's house twice a week for my entire senior year! EVEN after my dad started opening the door with a loaded shotgun!

    Gearhead1960 be very careful using that drill. TWO of my ironworkers have had to go to ER after experiencing the massive torque they have. Yeah back in the day when that was built there weren't any nanny clutches on them! PS it's still one of my most favored drills. It will not stop! Twist...

    Show your new tool arrivals

    HF had the 30% hangtag right in front of the 1/4 meme kit and did not honor it. Dude went over and took the tag off. I guess they are right because there are no sockets in the kit. They also said that they could not get the new bigger kits in. Kinda funny that they had empty pegs in 2...

    Well ****. Now I need to buy one of those...

    I've had a Bigfoot for over 20 years. It will handle this task with aplomb. I found it at a pawn shop for $50. No one wanted it because of the weight. That weight is one of its biggest advantages for true cuts.

    Road Trip Jack Recommendations?

    Search on Amazon for 5 ton electric/hydraulic jack. I thought it would be a joke but it has saved my buns twice now. Gets pretty low at 5&5/16 and goes up to 17

    Yes, give it a day upright to get the refrigerant where it belongs. I've done this a few times and always had good results.
