I have a th-1000 and 3/8 ratchet, broke two 1/4" ratchets only because i used them for everything. snap on is much louder, slower, pricier. looks like Mac tools has their own name on some of the aircat tools, just a brighter color red plastic

yeah the more I think about it, the more I just want to build a hutch for my 78 and fill it up with much higher quality tools. Might sell the Craftsman boxes I have since they are high up in the drawer count, just too small for my liking. I don't see anything on the sears or craftsman site...

use it like an electric port-o-power. weld up a cart with the pump and battery and switch box, and use the rams with a hefty return spring welded on, and fab some monster C clamps to use the rams. I will be doing that for my impala frame wrap here sometime soon. bends the metal and holds it...

A spray bottle blasting with distilled white vinegar will disrupt the bond that is still holding the rust onto the metal. from there,it will keep the distressed paint's patina but not overly cleanse it. I would clear coat it after a rinse and dry, preserve the look and keep the damage from...

Gold plated Craftsman socket set in wood box, something for some bling factor on sale thru the Sears website, price was $19.97, down from $59.99 . http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_00934177000P?prdNo=21&blockNo=21&blockType=G21 its online only, and if you break one, it will be...

beats running into it in the dark! i'm going all high-visibility in my garage re-deux

Hakko products are a big staple in the r/c world, although I use a Triton JLA (now called the PTH, push-to-heat) at work and its very quick. it uses carbon jaws clamped together to generate heat, you will have wire up to 4ga hot in seconds. lessens the heat transfer to the other parts so you get...

I get the gist of it... its where you aren't in more than one box to grab tools for a specific type of job. When I first started doing bodywork, apprenticing and shop cleaning, I had a Glo-Mad SO roll cart for my R&R tools, then expanded with the SST cart that I have still, for all of my...

its just my home garage. roomy @ 42x20 but I have been painting, adding lighting slowly, and trying to brighten the space up. can't stand working in a dark and disheveled garage space. I am the kind of guy that could take 50,000 sq. ft and be working in a clusterf*cked space with an inch of...

i could go black and yellow for Steelers colors lol

I have a Classic 78 in red, paid about $4250 for it a couple years ago. Looking to trade it in and get SEVERAL smaller cabs and carts. thinking about KRSC31A's...

Don't make a mistake like I did and wear an orange shirt when welding...:lol: everything with a shine or reflective surface makes you think there is a flame around the corner. When there IS.... well.... don't ignore it :D

time to make some buffers and grinders from them leftover 6v VW generators I have laying around .... or not.

I used a couple Harbor Fright engine stands for the VW pan, then for the body. I can swap out the whole front apron to go old school and it doesn't get in the way. These would work smoother if I had cut and re-welded the stands at a fully 90* upright instead of how they lean back a little...

I usually stick them inside the service door under my wire spool in my Lincoln welder. keep humidity from eventually rusting the insulator in the gun or feed rollers.

I use snack size sandwich baggies to cover my 90 (and other) degree magnets so they won't collect a ton of metal shavings; to clean, just hit it with a shop vac for a few seconds and move the magnet around in the baggie to free up more shavings. not welder safe, but they stay true when holding...
