    Between 265 & 485 SQ/FT The 12-Gauge Garage

    Re: You never know WHO you might be talking to The name Peter Brock is really interesting for an Aussie. "Our" Peter Brock was arguably the best and most famous touring car driver Australia has ever produced, his nick name was Peter Perfect because of his driving style. Must be a good name if...

    rust inside brake calipers: use converter or remover?

    I don't have it set up currently and I don't have any pictures. There is not much to see anyway, just a rectangular plastic tub and some reo rod in each corner with some copper wire connecting them and then a 12v power supply. There are a number of threads on the forum that will show you...

    Welding in patch panels

    I am doing a rebuild of a Landcruiser Ute, whilst stripping the paint I found some rust that had previously been "repaired" so this was my first real attempt at a patch panel. That is a very good example of exactly how to NOT fix a rust patch :rolleyes: Step one make a tape template. Then...

    Must have unique old tools that are no longer made?

    I also have 3 sets of Cobras, no doubt they are great and in some ways better than the Bahco ones, but my Bahco Multi Grips are still the best tool ever :) Cheers Andrew

    I'm going to say it; snap-on is a rip off unless you plan to resell

    I am probably unique here in that not only do I not own any Snap On tools, I have never even seen one. They are around the place in Oz, I see the truck once in a while but don't know anyone who has bought any SO. This discussion is really like so many other topics. For those that understand no...

His video's are professional, concise and he seems to cover all the basics about the functionality of the tool quickly and in an easy to understand manner. When he uses a particular tool a lot he mentions that, so in some...
