Busted out loud laughing at that! :lol_hitti

Another subscriber. 62 was my favorite year for the vette. :thumbup:

You could try Remington's RemOil in the aerosol can. Use the straw to be sure it gets into the mechanism and not all over the place. That has smoothed out a couple ratchets for me.

Instead of modifying the hood, could you use a remote fluid reservoir? Something like this http://www.wilwood.com/mastercylinders/MasterCylinderProd.aspx?itemno=260-10205 might save you the trouble of cutting into the hood. I also know you don't want to spend more money than is absolutely...

I bought one a few years back to pull the door panels out of my pickup. Handy little tool that works great.

During a welding class I took a few years back, I used one to make scrap metal.

More used, but new to me. Two(!) Snap-On 1/2 inch torque wrenches. They're not twins. One reads in foot pounds, the other in kg meters. As for the ring compressors, I only wanted the little one for automotive engines. Since I had to buy all three, I now have two ring compressors which I...

No holiday bloat for me, thank you very much. :lol: I might actually learn that kind of stuff if I drove a vehicle made in this millenium. I've been looking at replacing my aging pickup, and there's equipment listed in the new vehicle descriptions that leaves me scratching my head. Back on...

What's the purpose of a seat weight sensor? Does it tell you "Lose some weight, lardo!"?

Local CL find. Used but new to me. Snap-on orange handle ratcheting wrenches and a snappy 1/4" torque wrench. I'll probably go back for the other two torque wrenches.

I used to get muddy working as a cable guy. Hooking up a new house takes a bit of work on the outside wall where the utilities enter the house. If there's no guttering on the house, there's a mud puddle that runs along the edge of the house where I had to work when it rained. Of course, once...

I have one of those with the original drill in it. The drill needs a new power cord to be safe to use. There is a woodworking tool (the name escapes me at the time) where a chisel is mounted in a similar device. It's used to clean up a slot that is rough cut in the wood. Basically the chisel...

The title alone made me giggle. :lol:

I've heard the same thing from an old guy I know who is a retired EE. He never cares how far the needle jumps, only that it does.

New shiny SK goodness. The 1/4 in drive shares the same part number as the 1980's vintage 1/4 in drive I have. I figured somewhere along the line, the p/n would change.

You're missing the point. I want to buy American tools whenever possible. That's why I liked C-man. The sockets I didn't break came from American factories, not the PRC. I know it's jingoistic, but if I have to spend a bit more to support American workers, I will. I guess I'm a terrible...

The box I received was marked Made in China, but you're right. The sockets themselves have no COO markings. I've never cracked a C-Man socket. I've torn up a couple c-man ratchets and splintered c-man screwdriver handles. But I've never cracked one of the sockets. The SK line is looking...

Recently, I ordered the 308 piece socket set. I figured the larger sized markings would be easier to read than the tiny stampings on my old sockets. All the reviews on the sears site that indicated COO said USA. I know that c-man has been making tools in both the US and China for a while, but...

Welcome! I'm on the edge of the Ozarks myself in Arkansas. Try not to get sucked into buying too many tools. That happens around here. ;)

I learned how to drive on a 66 F100. Fond memories for me, not so much my dad. ;) Anyhow, I imagine the 66 is signifcantly heavier than the modern F150. Have you calculated the impact of the heavier frame and body on payload and towing capacities? Just a thought...
