I've been looking for a foam set (albeit with a ratchet too) but may wait till the HF icon set comes with the g2 ratchet.

Edit: This is a 1/4 metric Gearwrench set. Added photo

I also bit on that one and I might need a support group with bad coffee.

If you need to keep an eye on your stuff Amazon has some very good deals on their Blink camera systems.

God, grant me the ability to buy the tools I need, the disposable income to buy the ones I don’t, and the wisdom to know the difference.

Sounds like there are several fellow friends of Bill's on here.

I just had a similar one (functionally equivalent) of those delivered the other day, for full price ($115). Only difference is the color (according to Google AI)...

REOLINK

Thanks. I was looking at that brand earlier, so it's nice to see a recommendation.

I would only use the Reolink for observation purposes. If you need to ID people, you are better off with another brand called EmpireTech.

If you don't buy it now, the next sale is likely closer to the holidays (i.e. Black Friday)

For security cameras available on Amazon I'd use the Eufy 340.

https://www.amazon.com/eufy-Security-Floodlight-Homebase3-Expandable/dp/B0G6CQPDBH?tag=atomicindus08-20

The 2-pack is presently on sale for $380. It's not an amazing hair-on-fire deal but it's the lowest I've seen, and it's basically the same price as piecing out each part of the kit.

For that you get 2 cameras and a Homebase setup. Video is stored on the Homebase and can be streamed remotely but it does NOT use a cloud service (unless you want to pay extra for it, but that's optional).

I have 2 of these: One at my home and one at my work. Image quality is pretty solid and they do have motion-activated night lights (which are so bright I had to turn them down on the home cameras).

Saw this on the YouTube "Tools &Twisties". I'm going to try them out at this price. I have a z series Koken ratchet that I don't think will be replaced by this though. I'm hoping that Koken will bring their knurling, non comfort grip, to the 72 zeal line eventually.

Dealing with the pain in the **** 10mm allen head drain plug bolt on my Tacoma's front diff. The MFer won't budge. I tried tapping it with a hammer, cursing at it, praying and all the other garage techniques.

So I'm looking into heat. I don't have a torch and was looking at induction heaters. Came across the popular Amazon brand and saw this one is the lowest price ever. 50% off. ($129 as of this post)

I'm reluctant to buy it based on the reddit discussions about them and I won't drop $500 on a tool I'll (hopefully) barely use.

But for those interested:

Amazon.com

Edit, not sure why my link just says "Amazon.com" with no thumbnail. The product is:

A while back I had the same problem on my old Tundra. I eventually got it out with a hex bit in a cordless impact, penetrating oil, and a lot of patience. Maybe give that a try? Details here: https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/threads/lowes-deals-sales-clearance.526796/page-12#post-10920659

Apologies for the thread drift!

I have swapped some of my 4runner plugs over to Lexus style, where it is a hex top so you can use a socket. For all the smart Toyota does, not sure why they chose hex plugs.

I have a similar one I bought a few years ago. I’ve only used it a few times, so far very happy with it. I was in the same boat about spending lots of money on something I’ll use once a year. I know one of the biggest problems with them failing is people pressing the button and cranking them on from several minutes till they burn up. I always read the instructions and I think it says something like 10 seconds at a time. You can heat the bolt in steps till it gets hot enough.

Yup. I have a Lexus drain plug just waiting to be installed… once I get this fawking Allen head bolt out.

I read that on Reddit. Another poster said that he’s taken hundreds of these apart and it’s all cheap electronics. One being the tiny fan built into the handle- which probably doesn’t work well - hence the need to only cycle it 10 seconds at a time.

Lastly I saw a review for this specific one that says it’s 15” long, 22” long with a coil in it. And 3” in diameter. That seems really cumbersome to try and maneuver in an automotive setting.

I have one of these, it seems to work OK. The length isn't that big a deal as you can just bend the coils to whatever shape you need. It might be a pain if using it in an engine bay. But I am mostly dealing with stuck bolts when they're on the underside of a car - so I have plenty of room to maneuver from underneath.

Haven't used any other induction heaters so I can't compare, the expensive ones are probably faster but for my uses I'll keep the extra $300 and wait a minute or two.
