I'm a bit OCD and I just wanted to let everyone know about Milwaukee's Packout Screwup. The 20" Tool Tote and the 10" Tool Tote BOTH do NOT fill the space on top of a Packout. They both sit on the front two rows and nothing is on the back row. If you get a 15" Tool Tote you can get TWO of...

Just curious what your experience is with screw-ups and shop reputation? We've had a couple screw ups in our shop and I was told today that normally people get fired over this kind of stuff. One screw up was a Jeep that came back in with a missing rear brake pad a week or so after I put a...

I need to find the rubber ring for the Harbor Freight Mini Tire Changer. I have one at work mounted up on a old brake rotor and it's the bees knees for changing mini tires on the full size tire machine. Stopped by the shop today on my day off and apparently they figured out how to lose the...

Purchased a SDS drill and Milwaukee SDS Plus on eBay within minutes of each other. I got a ship notification for the Milwaukee within 24 hours, I still have not gotten a ship notification from Tool Barn. I messaged them to inquire asking "when will this be shipped" and they replied...

Looked high and low for a jack appropriate for checking ball joints in a hurry. Bought this Harbor Freight Racing Jack, modified it by taking off the side handle. Used it 3x on a slow Saturday for nothing but checking ball joints. It works, it's fast, and it's easy to position where it'll...

Am I literally the only person to think of this????? I work at a tire shop... once in awhile we have to do inner tubes. What we have to do is blow up the tire, find the leak, buff around the leak, put vulcanizing compound on the leak, air down the tire enough to get it on the bench, put a...

I apologize for creating a duplicate thread in advance. If there's another thread that covers what I am looking for please direct me to it. I am considering the purchase of a scan tool for under $500. I need the best one I can get without paying $6,000 for a Snap-On Modis, and either current...
