Noticed these in the Napa (Canada) flyer today. At first I thought Knipex was the OEM but then the price made me wonder if they are Chinese knock off? $30 for 12" water pump pliers? Napa is usually expensive. Did knipex's patents expire? Anybody buy some? Some Ultra Pro stuff crosses over to the...

Going to start building my wood shop this spring if this 3' of snow ever melts. I have gotten by for a long time with just a circular saw a sliding compound mitre saw and a jig saw. I build a little of everything. Rough framing to cabinets. The first purchase will be a table saw. Hoping to...

Kijiji seller has a new in box Mitty 0-1" micrometer. Emailed him about price and he said to make an offer. What does GJ think it is worth? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What are these worth? In the real world I mean. I don't care how cheap you can get them online. I don't shop online. Also I'm in eastern canada, so don't have the abundant used tool market some of you do. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Pawn shop has these listed on Kijiji. "Used on only one engine job". I find that hard to believe , but whatever. Is $230 a good price? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Guy has a NOS set of S-K wrenches, from the old S-k. Set is 5/16"-1". New in the plastic. What would be a fair price? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What's up with the snap on Canada web site? Last week it was fine, now there's no part #'s or prices on anything? Did they stop shipping to canada? The USA site still lists #'s and prices. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

We are allowed to "moonlight" at work, so I do. I don't have a garage of my own, so I make house calls. This means I'm working outside most of the time. I'm currently using a 2 door caviler as my "service truck". I recently took on a job for the municipality, to get the fire department's...

[/http://theksmith.com/technology/hack-vehicle-bus-cheap-easy-part-1/ Just read this article about hacking into the CAN Bus with a cheap USB / Bluetooth code reader. In this case to change the function of a specific button. This got me to pondering the possibility of Jimmie-rigging a...

I emailed Napa a Canada recently to ask if there was any plans to bring the Carlyle line north. Their response was that Carlyle was exclusive to the US and that the Ultra Pro line we get here in Canada is the same thing. From what I have seen I do not believe this to be true. Some of the filler...

I need access to a GM tech II for the sister in law's car, and hopefully some one familiar with it. I have a sales man buddy at a GM dealer, but it's 70 miles away, and I'm not sure how well he is in with the techs there. So save for that possible connection, is there any cheap way to get my...

I am very close to pulling the trigger on a CRP123. I work for a large forestry company, mainly as a heavy equipment tech. But we also have a pretty sizeable fleet of ford and Toyota pickups. About 85% Ford and 15% Toyota. Now that these have been out for a while, what do you guys think of them...

As I right this it's 4am, and I can't sleep. I Just got home from a service call, which got me to wondering what hours some of you guys work, regardless of your job. Mine is usually 10hrs, 7am-5pm, with every 4th weekend and week on call over night. During a big project a while back, we...

Just wondering what some of you guys do to manage fasteners during large projects. It never ceases to amaze me the ingenuity of you guys so I'm sure you'll come up with something I've never thought of. I used labeled zip-lock bags doing an engine swap recently, and it worked well. I've...

Swapping the engine in my sister in laws car this weekend. Have to swap the intake cam because the new one isn't broached to accept the power steering pump. I wanted to Plastiguage the cam journals just to be sure. I have some Plastiguage but it's god knows how old. Think it will work ok...

So the sister-in-laws car wouldn't start on the weekend. After some investigation and a compression test , I found this I'm fairly confident I can do the job. But open to advise from you guys that have done this job before. Oh it's a L61 ecotech in a 2002 Saturn L100 Sent from my iPhone...

I currently have this fixed shade Lincoln from crappy tire I like it for the most part. Burned 2 boxes of 7024's with it putting a floor in a log trailer and it was perfect. But it only has 1 sensor, so when "out of position" (aka standing on your head) it will lighten up if an obstruction...

Just found this on kijiji ( Canadian CL) for $200. Never knew such a thing existed. Is it worth 2 bills? Who would have used this when it was new? Approximate age? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free

Any idea what the hell these are? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free

I was on a hydraulics course last week and the instructor had a Parker SC-JR 8700 digital pressure gauge. That thing was awesome. I have seen retail on them as high as $1500, but looks like you can scoop one up for $400-$500 online. So is this gauge as awesome as it seems or is there better...
