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


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:


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

Solary Magnetic Induction Heater - 1100W 110V Handheld Bolt Removal Tool with 12 Coils

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 :poop: 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.

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.
