    What kind of tools have you found in the road??

    I found this in a round about. Is it for a router? It has a 3/8 shank and is pretty sharp.

    half-size lug nut socket?

    Our shop does stock lug nuts, I think we have 3 maybe 4 different boxed set of solid chrome nuts. They were bought on-line for the best deal. We do sell them as a set most of the time.

    half-size lug nut socket?

    I find using these half size sockets is hit or miss, when the lug nuts are so swollen they have a peak to them.

    Fans of Fluid Film

    It really makes surfaces slippery, our hoist arms get rusty and hard to move. I've been ff mine now for a few years and the slide with ease. The other guys bang on theirs with hammers.

    Stubby - Short Hex Drain Sockets

    HF used to sell an awesome set. They stopped selling it 10 years ago for some reason. I've never broke any in daily use in the shop, piped 'em a few times too. Check out this set. OEMTOOLS 25374 Drain Plug Socket

    Car not recognizing universal TPMS?

    My wife's Toyota did just fine with MX sensors, the first week though was a head scratcher. When at home the tire light would be on in the morning. Found out it was still reading the oem sensors (over the cloned MXs) that were in a trashcan inside my garage 20 feet away.

    Car not recognizing universal TPMS?

    Why is cloning is not always ideal? We use Autel MX at work and have very few problems. The only issue I see coming up is when people have to sets of sensors near by, like winter and summer tires.

    Coil Spring Compressors: OTC vs. Branick

    I have used the OTC one before, maybe it was the first model of strut tamer. I didn't like it, cocked and twisted the spring all around. You couldn't compress on the strut mount either so the whole assembly would have to come apart.

    Check your vehicles to see if they have coated lines. Napa also sells double to bubble adapters too.

    Which floor jack to choose?

    Find an old Sears jack from the 70s. They are painted green and made in Japan. Very good quality.

    Socket Press C-Frames

    Do you think the one on the left will work? It's less likely to bend as a regular BJ press can. I have one but never used it on u joints.

    5/8” drive ratchet

    I bet a machinist could make one up easily. Otherwise, I think you'll only find it where vintage tools are sold. Ebay might be the place to start.
