I'm not exactly sure what size(s) I need, but its got to fit over 3/8" transmission cooler hose. OD is about 5/8 or a little larger. I see multi-packs on Amazon for around $50. Can I do better? Thanks!

My camel camel alert went off today. I just ordered one of these - perhaps some of you might appreciate the alert too: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00LV9YC76/?tag=atomicindus08-20 I have the 3/8s version, and am really looking forward to getting this one! :beer:

Looking at getting two lifts from Worth for my home hobbyist shop. Four post - this will be used for jobs that don't need the tires removed. Oil changes, exhaust work, etc. We'll also use the 4-post lift for torquing suspension parts under load. Worth Model 12000EWT 22" wide tracks with...

I just got my IR 2115QTimax in the mail. They've been tending pretty low on Amazon lately so I finally pulled the trigger. I put an adapter on it and used it today with some 1/2" wheel sockets that have the plastic outer cover. Does anybody make those in 3/8 drive? While we're on it, what...

I'm looking for some lug nut sockets to protect the chrome lug nuts themselves as well as the wheels of my car. Will these HF ones work OK? http://www.harborfreight.com/7-piece-sae-metric-12-lug-nut-impact-sockets-69781.html I also see MAC has a set, available on EBay, but it looks like...

I'm looking to purchase a 3/8 impact air tool. I'd like to get one with enough "guts" that it could be used for lug nuts, brakes, etc - but reserve the bulky 1/2 wrench for crank pulleys and axle nuts - at my home garage. Budget is approx $150. Is the Nitrocat 1355-XL the bee's knees? How...

I am adapting Nissan 300zx polyurethane subframe bushings for use on my 1982 280zx. The primary modification is to turn down the outside of the bushing to fit the smaller diameter of the 280zx's subframe. My question is related to the sleeve that goes inside the bushing. The ID of the 300zx...

Guys, We're breaking ground on a 48x60 retirement garage-mahal very soon. :beer: The plan is to install two lifts - one four post, and one two-post. The intended purpose is going to be auto hobby maintenance and restoration. The builder has asked for information about the lift models so he...

I have about 280 sq ft of space for my basement workshop. The walls are drywalled and painted, but the floor is bare concrete. I'd like to do an epoxy coating - possibly Rustoleum - but I'm afraid that I won't be able to do the acid etch or grinding that is required. How good are the Benjamin...

I put down my impact today and the coupler snapped. The air hose was whipping around and scared the :shocking: out of me! On the plus side, nobody got hurt and nothing important got broken - which means now I can replace and upgrade my couplers to some quality units! Any recommendations...

I have a wooden retaining wall that keeps my driveway together. The wood is rotting and I suspect the whole thing needs to be replaced - though I'd like to avoid redoing the driveway if possible. Can I just remove the wood and replace it with new 6x6's, or will the whole thing come crashing...

I am wiring my Champion VRV5-6 compressor - 240V, 22A on the motor plate. I have a 15 foot run of 8/2 Romex on a 40 amp breaker from my panel in the basement, through the walls, to my garage. In the garage I have a surface mount metal box. From that metal box I need to run about 5 feet to the...

I ordered a Sharpe 880A air control unit from Amazon expecting a high quality product made in America. The Sharpe web site says: http://www.sharpe1.com/sharpe/sharpe.nsf/Page/About+Us When it arrived, I was disappointed to see this on the box and product: So... WWGJD? What would garage...

I can't get the CV Axle out of the driver's side on my 95 mazda 626. I changed it out to a "Fenco" aftermarket one a few weeks ago, but forgot to do the seal... of course its leaking gear oil now. What I expected to be an easy job has turned into a nightmare. I cannot get this axle out of the...

http://hudsonvalley.craigslist.org/tls/2246318689.html I'm being seriously tempted by this. I don't need it, per se, but it just looks so nice! So, what is it? I'm expecting friction slides and a gas shock lid, maybe from the early 90's? Is it worth his asking price?

The central air for my house stopped working a few days ago. Its an older Williamson unit - house was built in 84, and I don't know if its been replaced since. Symptom - on the outside unit, the fan runs but the compressor does not. I heard it buzz, but it doesn't run. Once the fan is going...

I have the typical sears 3 section tool box. I'm thinking about bolting together the pieces for stability and to discourage theft. Or maybe I'm just paranoid. Has anyone else done this? Got any tips? :bowdown:

I'm looking for a compressor for my home shop to support occasional DA sander / spray gun use. There's a Champion VRV5-6 for sale on Craigslist, for $800. Its a 2 stage compressor, 60 gallon tank. I got the SN and called the manufacturer - the unit was shipped in 2002 - and was given...
