Getting the Milwaukee M18 mid torque impact gun. Getting the tool only version and I need to pick up a battery for it. What size do you all like? I know the mid torque kit comes with the 5.0 battery but saw some people using the 2.0 battery. I am leaning towards the 2.0 since it’s lighter...

Getting a new alternator for this Toyota Avalon I am working on but I decided to see if I could pull apart the old alternator before I return it as a core. One question I use was what type of puller do you use to remove the following bearing. It's the end away from the pulley. There is not...

Just bought an air framing nailer for a good price. I have borrowed a friend's a few years back and it was nice to have around. Used it more than I thought to build work benches, light remodel, etc. I'd like to have a size or two of nails around to use. What are the best sizes to keep...

Why do all welding carts have fixed (non-swivel) wheels on the back? Is that just to prevent tipping due to the top heavy nature of the tank?

Just picked up a Ridgid metal chop saw off craigslist. It needs a new blade. Any brands to stick with or stay away from? Just a hobbiest, it won't get used much. Are diablo ones at HD good enough?

Thinking about investing in an electronic AC leak detector but don't know much about them. What are people's thoughts as far as brands, features and costs? So what are you using and what do you like/dislike. I am just a DIYer and looking for value. Not opposed to spending money if it's worth it.

Any advice on moving or transporting a used AC recover/recycle/recharge machine? Do you need to remove the tank to keep weight of the scale? Anything to protect the compressor?

Over the last weekend, I finally installed most of my 3/4" Maxline airline kit. I got it last year for father's day and finally got around to installing it. Didn't want to rush into it or anything. Overall, I am impressed with the kit. The connectors that seal to the tube work great. It...

Has anyone bought a used AC Recover/Recycle machine? I might have some up coming AC work on my personal vehicles and thinking about picking up a used machine off Craigslist. Curious about anyone's experiences and what to look for.

The other day I was getting annoyed by not being able to identify my sockets when looking through my socket drawer. Came up with this method. I know some rails have IDs on them but this was functional, quick, easy and cheap for the craftsman rails that I use. Used a white paint marker and a...

Working on a 2002 Toyota Sequoia but this question applies to other cars with similar banjo fuel lines. I want to test the fuel pressure which requires a banjo style adapter which I have on order for my Lang fuel tester. My question is when you use the banjo adapter with the stock fuel line...

After the SK thumbwheel ratchet deal, someone mentioned that SK made Craftsman thumbwheels for a little while using the Tuff ratchet mechanism. Thought I'd hit ebay and see if I can pick one up for cheap. Can't see me using one very much but do like the SK tuff ratchets. All I can say is...

Thought I'd pass this information on to anyone that may need it. I have a Snap-On KRA4114 top chest that the struts were failing. It's part of a combo KRA4114/4107 that I purchased off craigslist a few years back. The top lid struts have been questionable since I purchased it. I have read...
