I'm hoping to get some advise from people that have dealt with a similar situation. Our water tests 11 gpg, 1ppm iron. Our current softener is a 24k and iron goes right through it. By calculation we should be around a 32k for regening once per week. I've read you have to watch going to long...

Looking at getting a katool kt-b760 balancer and either a Katool ktt800 changer or build a HF manual changer duck head mod. I would be splitting this with my dad, we currently use his Nomar motorcycle changer but it can be a struggle on car tires with not being able to hold the wheel tight...

I'm looking for a set of sae and metric stubby wrenches. I've made it 20 years without them and havent felt I needed them until the last couple of pieces of equipment I've purchased. I don't see myself using them alot hence looking at cheap options. Odly Icon and tekton are about as cheap as...

I'm looking for a used transmission fluid exchange machine for personal use, there is quite a few options available close to me. My vehicles in the past I could pull a cooler line and pump out old while filling with new. Our new Hyundai pumps new fluid from the pan so this method doesn't work. I...

I've tried two different $20 refractometers from Amazon, both read 0% with distilled water but 56-59% with 50/50 Zerex G05. I called Zerex to verify it will read like any ethylene glycol coolant and they said it will. The first one wouldn't adjust any lower, the second one I can adjust down to...

School me on lock ring pliers (for the rings without holes). This is something I don't need often, put the couple times I did it was a total nightmare trying to get them out without the right tool. Im wondering if this something that one plier does most jobs, the rest are just nice to have...

I'm in the market for a set of metric wrenches having returned a set of William's supercombo's that were kind of ugly (my sae set from 8 years ago are super nice). I had pretty well settled on Flank drive with concern over the fd+ making bolts ugly. I'm not a pro but work on my own cars, trucks...

I'm looking to purchase some high leverage diagonal cutters. I dont plan to do anything crazy with them but just want some more leverage for harder tasks. My regular side cuts are 6" channellock which have served me well, no complaints. I'm looking at the Snap on 312cf, Knipex 74 01 250 and...

I've had the CP7150 for a year or so, DIY/farm use. I have nothing to compare to besides a harbor freight pos, but I would say it has alot of punch. Its downside is it's pretty hard to control without turning the air pressure down which I assumed judging from reviews but was ok with that for the...

SOLD Ammco 710 on vehicle brake lathe. The cutting tool and feed unit mounts on the caliper bracket and has a drive unit to spin the rotor. I used it once on a Ford focus, the wheel well was really to small and caliper bracket not heavy duty enough. Think it would be great on trucks or SUV's...

I work in a machine shop, 10 hr days standing most of it. My feet get hot so I don't like boots with liners, insulation or waterproofing; this limits my choices. I've tried two different thorogoods, neither has worked for me. The last was the 805-4367, barely got a year and the sole was...

I'm in need of a impact wrench for occasional use on the farm. We recently purchased a tractor with bolt on duals that we need to take off occasionally. Don't know what size bolts but the wrench size is 32mm, about 10 of them holding each wheel on. Also would use it on our straight truck, 1...

I bought 40aw3000 corner bumpers from a krsc46 from snap on for $45 to put on my classic 60. i work in a machine shop and was looking for something besides the stainless corner guards. figured they used double sided tape to install. Wrong, there is cutouts in the box that they fit into. I could...

I'm looking for a snap on box for my shop at home, what's a 5 year old classic 96 worth? No top. He was asking 2300, then said 2100 and later 1900. Does that seem high yet? What's it worth? I've seen krl1022's for 2800 locally. Just don't want to spend that much for home. Are the 96's decent boxes?

Was wondering if anyone has or has used one of these? http://s-kstore.com/index.php/benchtop-parts-washer-model-14.html It's hard to get any info out of safety kleen. Was wondering how long of a part you can get in them, what they use for a filter and also if its a pain cleaning them out. As...

I've been kicking around the idea of building or buying a heated aqueous parts washer for awhile now. Right now I use brake cleaner or garden hose and simple green. I do all of my wife and i's car work. Also motorcycles and sometimes farm/tractor work. I'm afraid I wouldn't use it enough to...

I need a 13mm torque adapter to torque the cylinder base nuts on my ktm dirt bike. I can get one from the cornwell guy for $17 or a 10-19 set for $130. I'm trying to decide which way to go. Mind you I'm just a hobbiest, I do all the work on my vehicles. Can't recall a time other then dirt bike...

I have a twin cylinder single stage Campbell hausfeld 60 gallon compressor I bought used. Since I've hooked it up, I get a bit of oil in the airlines. It makes the coupler oily, corroded my filter/ regulator bowl some. If I don't use it for a week or so, I get a puff of musty, oily smelling...

Is there any "affordable" scan tools that can do an abs service bleed, perticularly ford? Sounds like the pc software autoenginuity will, it's 400 for the basic scanner plus the enhanced ford expansion. And that would only bleed ford

I'm interested in purchasing or making a one man brake bleeder and wondered what method is the safest for abs/ works best. There's the style that pressurizes the master cylinder. DIY bleeder The vacula style that pulls a vacuum at the bleed screw. I have tried my mityvac and wasn't impressed...
