A friend of mine picked up this tool kit at a yard sale over the weekend, from what it appears it's a Bacharach brand, with a diesel compression gauge, some hand reamers (for carbon scraping injector ports, I assume) and various adapters/ete... No tag or part numbers on the box itself. Didnt...

Was at Tractor supply getting some animal feed, & did the loop around the store. They had a couple size large welding jackets marked down from 95$ to 24$, picked one up for the boss as I really didnt need one, but I couldnt pass up the torch kit at the price on the sticker. So it may pay...

So I pick this up tuesday, https://www.proxibid.com/PEC-four-piece-inch-and-metric-comb-and-square-set-Appears-to-be-in-new-condition/lotInformation/76681924&rfpb=0#Top Not familiar with the PEC brand, but a basic interwebz search said it was a good price. Also picked up a Knapheide truck...

Came up with this trick a while ago, tested it a couple times since and thought it post worthy. It works great on GM truck tank strap bolts (rear fuel tank strap bolt in particular, trucks & truck based SUV's). The cage nut tends to rot in half or break from rotting when removing said bolt...

So, I have the KD 2897 kit (Actually Napa branded), and it has worked fine for as many pulleys as I've had to deal with up until a couple weeks ago when I had a ('14?) Dodge mini van give me fits trying to remove the p/s pulley. A new pulley ended up being acquired, long story short. The...

Saw this up for local auction, any thoughts on what would be the going rate? Claims to be a '93 vintage unit.

Ran into this last week, belt tensioner bolt on a BMW that the owner tried changing themselves and somehow screwed up the head on the bolt. For whatever reason I thought to try the Matco non slip sockets, the 10mm fit loose, but the 3/8 was a tight fit and removed the bolt easily. IIRC it...

Looking to pick one up for things like testing Ford hubs and such, dont need one for brake bleeding, I have other stuff for that. I'm sure Mityvac is probably on the higher end of these, My question is for as simple as these are are the more inexpensive ones complete junk? There isnt much...

So the one not so local city I frequent had gotten a Harbor freight store within the last month apparently, saw it by chance heading back out of town so I thought I'd check it out having never been in one. No rubber/china smell like what is reported, may be too new? They seemed to have a...

So I've had an 3/8 indexable ratchet on order from Matco for quite a while now. I managed to find one the other week and picked it up for a pretty good price. No telling when the one I ordered will show up. Interestingly it's not stamped, but laser etched...

I was looking at something last night(forgot what) and noticed a Capri low profile 22mm 3/8 impact socket listed, so I clicked on it. Turns out they have 20,21,22 available (in addition to the 8-19 set). OK, cool. I had wanted to get a 21 & 22 to go with the set I have. I had gotten Matco...

So I had attempted to reorganize some things at work over the last few months, changed the "cart" I use and moved some **** around. I came to the conclusion I would need to upgrade the top box to something else. I've used the KR537 I have for the last 7-8 years. I had wanted to pick up a...

The M12 batteries seem to break tabs on occasion for me, I've had a couple apart (3.0/4.0AH) and transferred part from a weak battery to one that is newer. I saw these replacement housings on ebay, there appears to be several sellers, all from china. Just curious if anyone has bought/used...

I picked this up at a local auction, there was also a hammer in another lot, didnt bother trying for it though as I have enough wheel weight material to work with. I'm guessing it is around 3-5lbs head weight...

Found this earlier at work, buy this tool bag and add items that are eligible for 20% off and it comes out as not too bad a deal. Free shipping over 35$ makes it decent. I ordered some sockets I would have had to pay freight on if I ordered them through the prolink site, around 20$ IIRC...

I've had it in mind that a couple styles of wrenches that no one makes (yet?) would be handy to have. 1, A basic long pattern combo wrench with a normal open end and a 0* offset box end. Just seems handy to me. I've seen some wrenches that have a 45* offset box end offered. 2, A flex head...

Did this last week, Armstrong 12" 1/4 drive locking impact extension. Very interesting break. Not a great pic but gets the jist of it. Had a Matco 1/4 drive swivel & 10mm socket on one end and a 6" S-K 1/4 ratchet on the other loosening an oil cooler bolt that was apparently tighter then I...

Is sometimes a thing. Recent example, I had to replace the rear shocks on a Buick labeled equinox a few weeks ago and noted something interesting I've run into before on some struts, had the time to take some pics this time though. I used a 45* DBE wrench and shock absorber socket to swap...

Had an oopsie the other day & managed to break a battery housing on a 4.0 battery, I could glue it back together but the one tab finished breaking off as well. I had previously glued it. The internals are ok, So I was curious if anyone knew of any replacement parts for the battery itself...

I had bought a couple of these 7oz Mityvac suction guns quite a while back, they work great for small amounts of p/s fluid and similar. I never had a really good way of storing them to where they weren't getting dirty, being underfoot or leaking all over. Then I had an epiphany, get some pot...
