When I was thinking of doing some kind of drive for my engine stand (post #8) I kicked around a couple of ideas, including a chain drive or a flexplate drive. I had thought of using a worm drive gear box but the price of a new one scared me. I picked up the one I used, brand new, at a swap meat...

What amperage range are the amp-clamps? Roughly what amperage do you intend to use them on? If the amp-clamp is like 0-200 amp and you're only trying to measure something like 2 or 5 amps it's not going to be very accurate. Also, make sure the faces of the clamps, where they close together are...

First off I'll admit that I also don't live in the US. I always liked OTC tools, very good quality, well made and Made in USA. I recently bought an OTC hub puller. Marked on it it says: "Made in USA with imported components". It's 6 pieces of steel, I wonder if any of them are made in the USA.

Smells like it!!

"Regarding the light switch for the furnace; some municipalities require a switch like that at the top of the stairs when the furnace is in the basement. The idea is that you don't have to go into a smoke, fume, fire filled basement to shut the unit off if it malfunctions. Yes, they do get shut...

A 2'X4' piece of 1/4" plywood or old carpet works well around the yard. I keep a small tarp in the truck for use when away from the shop.
