Rear full contact shims usually come with a set of templates and a chart, Ford bushings just take a little thought and experience. I still don't use the bushing calculator on our hunter machine, a look at camber/caster and an idea of where I want to be as well as a look at what cam is currently...

I really want a vat 28 or a 40. Would also like a gas analyzer and scope someday. I am a bit nostalgic about the good old sun machines, and for that matter the snap on mt2500 and otc monitor 4000 scan tools. Sent from my GT-P3113 using Tapatalk 2

I bought a clone elm327 adapter on amazon for $12 shipped and the torque app was $5-6 or so. I would recommend reading the reviews to make sure the adapter works with j1850 PWM, the one I bought doesn't and I can't use it on older fords, that is a common issue with the clone adapters. I found...

I had a whip hose on mine for a while but you have to be mindful of the location of your connection so you don't scratch fenders/rocker panels. Sent from my LG-MS770 using Tapatalk 4

I have torque on myy tablet, use it frequently at the shop for checking IM monitors, and for a quick look to see if I need to drag out the gds, tech 2, or pegisys. I am pretty impressed with its abilities for the $18 (including adapter) I have invested in it. It has a ton of pids, and on some...

I buy proto, so, mac, matco, and just about any of the other quality tools for the shop. However I do collect vlchek (sp?) and par x, not really sure why, guess they just speak to me. Also have a pretty serious proto combination wrench fetish as of late. Sent from my GT-P3113 using Tapatalk 2

Fasteners of that size are somewhat common on ships, powerplants, etc. Take a peek at Ingersoll rand's 2 1/2" drive impact for an idea of the size/torque requirements of some of those fasteners. Sent from my GT-P3113 using Tapatalk 2

I carry a Coast G20 at work, I bought a few on closeout at Home Depot for $3. It is comparable to the stylus pro that my apprentice carries, but I like the switch on the coast better. Very bright with a focused beam, I would easily pay $20 for one if I lost or broke the ones I have. Sent...

I was replacing an exhaust manifold on a gm 3.3l in a '91 buick century and long story short, I melted a hole in the fuel rail with the alternator power stud. What followed was a huge fireball and an engine compartment engulfed in flames. Luckily my best friend and co-worker was quick with a...

I retired all my standard hammers (except the 4lb sledge) when I got my so dbbp's. Awesome hammers, a couple of these and a couple soft face db's and you are set. Sent from my GT-P3113 using Tapatalk 2

I checked my lowes out yesterday, all they had was the red/blue grip knipex for a whopping 5% off. I passed, really wanted some red handle 8" diagonals but no go. Sent from my LG-MS770 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

My flf80, with my f936 right behind it. At home it's an f720. Love my sO ratchetss. Sent from my GT-P3113 using Tapatalk 2

I've got another breaker at the shop, I think this will be a conversation piece or to loan to the guy next to me who doesn't believe in buying his own tools. Sent from my GT-P3113 using Tapatalk 2

So I used my Hyundai star power points (we get them for training, csi scores, etc.) to order a 3/4" drive socket set that arrived today. It was a buffalo tools set, made in china so my expectations were not high, but the qc was remarkably horrible. I tried to fit a socket to the breaker bar...

I just moved my c3 stuff home, but I've used it with good results for the past year at the shop. The 1/2" impact does well for lugnuts, I used the 3/8" impact the most over the last 5-6 months with good results, and the 1/4" is good as well. That said, I just bought a milwaukee m18 fuel 1/4"...

Knife-wrench, for kids. Lol, if you watch Scrubs you'll get the reference. Pretty nice work though. Sent from my GT-P3113 using Tapatalk 2

I just moved into a company supplied box, but for the last 10 years worked out of my 537, I kept punches/chisels in one. Wallet, keys, change, and assorted medicine bottles/carmex in another. Loose taps and dies in one, loose 1/4 drive sockets in another. Assorted small tools like fuel line...

I was in hd a couple hours ago buying an m18 fuel impact and they had signs up for the m12 battery deal. Sent from my GT-P3113 using Tapatalk 2

I have a pretty decent stanley 1/4, 3/8, and 1/2 kit for the truck/house, I think it was around $70 at walmart. I am actually impressed with the quality for the money. The components aren't on par with my SO stuff at the shop, but they have held up as well as the craftsman stuff that...

Challengers are ok, but the Nussbaum lifts we have at my current shop are the nicest I've ever used. Sent from my GT-P3113 using Tapatalk 2
