    Reusing Fluid Transfer Pump

    Tried searching and couldn’t find something this specific as what I was wondering. I was going to get a 1 gallon sprayer and convert it to a fluid transfer pump, in particular for ATF and Differential Fluid changes. I know cross contamination is bad. Assuming after use I spray the jug out with...

    Portable Air Compressor Size for Impact Hammer Home Use

    I tried searching but it’s such a niche question I had no luck. I don’t have an air compressor and have all battery powered tools really. Unfortunately, I’d love an air hammer as there is no real battery powered equivalent without getting a massive SDS style drill. Air compressor would also be...

    Jaw Horse vs Bech Vise / both / Milwaukee Packout Work Surface

    I currently don’t have any type of vise at home and it’s certainly annoying. I don’t have a work bench to mount a bench vise too and I prefer to keep my two car garage for parking cars. When I do work on the cars or if I need space in the garage, it’s nice not to have it cluttered with ****. So...

    New Wrench Set: Recommend Type & Brand

    What I have: So I have slowly been upgrading my tools and I’ve put off the wrenches for a while due to cost. I have a set of metric and SAE USA Craftsman raised panel wrenches that came in a mechanic tool kit I bought ages ago. They only go up to 15mm though. They also aren’t very long. I then...

    Klein MM600/700 DMM vs Fluke 115/117 vs ????

    Hello all, I have read a lot of reviews online of DMM's as well as posts on garage journal. Was hoping to get your direct feedback on recommending a DMM. My last DMM was a Radioshack one I bought in 2009 out of college, and it finally crapped the bed. My use cases are working on my car, house...

    Tube Cutter for Coolant Hoses and Pex

    Subject pretty much says it all. I don’t have a cutter for a nice square clean cut on a coolant hose, nor one to use on PEX lines. I was hoping I could buy one tool to do both jobs since it’s basically both just plastic/rubber tubes. Does anyone know if I can use one tube cutter to do both jobs...

    Magnetic Impact Nutsetter

    Hello all. I was doing some research and was trying to find a good magnetic impact nut setter with a 1/4” shank for my M12 impact driver. Was curious if anyone had any recommendations. Metric and SAE would be nice but I really only need SAE most likely. I was thinking for odd jobs where I help...

    Cobalt Drill Bit Question: Twist

    So I fully understand why they make left and right hand twist on drill bits. And I get why most Mechanic’s Length Cobalt Bits are left hand twist since normally if you’re drilling and need that short bit it’s for car work and you’re dealing with a stuck bolt. So if you gotta drill it out anyway...

    Buying New Saw: Hackzall vs Hacksaw vs Mini Hack

    Hello, I tried searching and couldn't find much, so I wanted to ask people's opinions. I know very little about hacksaws and have little practical experience using them. I don't really own any saws at all as I normally will just use a cutoff wheel: Dremel for small stuff a Milwaukee 18V 5" Angle...
