    Best Oil Filter Wrench...... EVER!

    I don't understand why people don't just use channel locks. I use the big ones and find they work better than any special wrench I have ever used.

    Matco ratchets

    It will let you purchase if you fill out the info, no proof or anything required. I just can't decide if I have a problem morally doing it or not.

    Tig welder for a total newbie.

    Thanks guys. Looks like I am putting off buy anything, woke up this morning to go to work and had a message from my dad saying the family friend who tigs for a living is bringing a whole rig that he is borrowing from work so it should be patched and reinforced by the end of the weekend. I still...

    Tig welder for a total newbie.

    Yes, I know about it and they are repairing them still, the problem is that it is a case by case bases and they can be a pain in the *** about trying to wiggle out of it since the lawsuit period is over. They also don't do any reinforcement, they just replace the whole under panel and I don't...

    Tig welder for a total newbie.

    Any reccomendations on which welder to go with, I don't mind spending anything up to a $1000, less is better but I would like to get something that will do anything I want it to. I have $200 in amazon gift cards and cyberweld sells everything on there. Our garage does not have 220 but the panel...

    Tig welder for a total newbie.

    http://houston.craigslist.org/tls/2337887912.html Anyone know if that is any good. I would have to get him to take like $400 or so for it. You can get new ones for like $500 or so.

    Tig welder for a total newbie.

    LOL, I have not made up my mind, I am just trying to do it right and I don't know enough to know what I need to use or who's advice to trust. It is easier to believe people you have known for a while and seen quality work from than a stranger on the internet. That being said, an overwhelming...

    Tig welder for a total newbie.

    I plan on calling them on monday to see if I can rent one. I did think about shielded mig. Since you sound like you know what you are talking about, why does everyone insist on using a tig for this job?

    Tig welder for a total newbie.

    Thanks, but I know all about it and I have their kit. I won't save any money by paying someone $1000 to $1500 when I can buy a tig and have someone I know weld it up. I also know it is done right when I do things myself.

    Is thermal arc any good, I could get that for around $500 with amazon gift cards and amex points through cyberweld.

    Tig welder for a total newbie.

    I will do some more asking, I just know that the two welders I have talked to, the fabricator friend who is good at welding all implied that mig would not work. Just talked to my dad, our welder is a lincoln stick welder, he thought a mig and a stick. I got more background about the welder...

    Tig welder for a total newbie.

    I simply don't know enough, I will have to look at the welder and see what it is. My dad said it is a mig/stick but he hasn't ever used it either, a friend loaned it to us on a permanent bases. The spot welds are what they call rosette welds and are usually done with a tig but I don't know if...

    Tig welder for a total newbie.

    I have a Mig / stick (never used it), everyone I have talked to said you can't mig it, I don't know why but I do know that no one who does these repairs migs them. A guy I work with used to be a Welder said stick is fine if you can find someone who can do it on metal that thin, I am waiting on...

    Tig welder for a total newbie.

    Where the subframe mounts to the unibody of my E46 M3, my car has developed the cracks that this generation of BMWs are notorious for. Rather than paying someone $1500 to weld up the cracks and weld in the reinforcement plates, I would rather buy a welder and have my dads friend that has been...
