A friend showed me this video today and while I work at a shop with hoists I still kinda want one! No idea on the price but I bet its gonna be $$$$

I am working on insulating my detached 2 car, and I'm planning on using R-19 batts in the ceiling. However, the home center specifically indicates that the faced 23" wide batts are for wall use only. Is there an actual difference between ceiling and wall insulation? I thought the main issue...

Hey folks! I need both body-side tailgate hinges for a '00 sonoma/s-10. They used to be near a dime a dozen but are currently on intergalactic back order. Anyone got a few kickin' around? Let me know what it will cost to get'em off your hands.

Hey folks, anyone familiar with combustion gas tester s? My state does not have emissions testing requirements, however I trained on 4 and 5 gas analyzers. One of the "off label" uses of them is to detect hydrocarbons in cooling systems (accurate head gasket test). However, 4/5 gas analyizers...

Hey folks! My souless corporate overlords have decided that they will not be replacing our ancient scanners with new, nor will they be updating the software. We currently have ONE snap-on solus "pro" running 11.something software. It is an original pro - no screen update, no memory update, is...

So, over the years since I've started having a cell phone on hand I've taken pictures of particularly noteworthy stupid things that have have come into the shop. Sometimes its something my coworkers do (never me of course), sometimes its something other "mechanics" do, and sometimes its just...

Hey folks, I just bought a house (Nov) up here in Michigan, and it came with a 24x24 detached 2 car (1 door) garage! Now, as it sits the garage is in good structural condition, it is 2x4 on 16" centers, built in 1993 (only 8' ceiling, sadly). Now the bad news - the floor is plain concrete in...
