Got a new toy today. Got tired of breaking OTC and other brand presses.
Can't wait to break it in and see how I like it. So far I love not having to fumble about with adapters and cups.
On special apparently till the end of the year or so my driver say.

Picked up some USA made Masterforce (apex) stuff and a williams 3/8 socket set. I'm finding myself buying more and more of the masterforce stuff they are some pretty solid tools. Williams socket set is the import set (bluepoint) and is pretty high quality as well.

Your missing an adapter there bud. Also snapon sells an optional adapter kit that comes in very handy.
Yeah he had to order me one. Which adapter kit? According to my Snappy man there are a few different kits.

Had 2 flat tires on my trailer, thank you cheap Chinese made valve cores, and had to replace them. Jacking up the trailer was not an option (10,000 enlclosed Hualmark on pavers, with a car in it), so I looked online and found this kit on Amazon. Best $30.00 I could have spent, took longer to fill the tires with air then changing the valve stems.

That's pretty neat. Too bad it has limited use on trailers and older cars since new ones have TPMS sensors. I still might pick one up just to have for those times like you ran into.
Took advantage of the 15% off sale and picked up a new drill press and bench grinder. Have been watching Craigslist for months for a good grinder to no avail.
Nice!! What did that drill press run ya?

It's one of the more obscure British bikes, it's a 1958 Panther M75.

You can buy the TPMS repair kit or a complete sensor from most auto parts stores.
I bought the seal kits for my wife's snow rims/tires for her VW from VW and they were more money than the sensors. Won't make that mistake again.
Mark the valve stem location on your tire and break the bead. As long as it's a valve stem style TPMS you should be able to just swap it like that. Marking the valve stem ensures you keep the balance.
You are gonna love that tool. Also dont need a second set of hands to keep parts still!
Just snagged these two from a 1916 steam traction engine, that's the J. L. Case Eagle-on-the-globe logo (upside-down in 1st pic). First one is about 20" long, 2 1/16" & 2 5/8", the second wrench is 24" with 2 7/16" & 2 7/8" ends.

Swear to god was just reading about this bike moments before reading this. Article stated that only around 50 of these were made. If that is true good luck to you with this project.

This is how the tool he showed is used,

You absolutely can.
Break the front bead, use the tire-mounting arm to push down the sidewall, swap the sensor or stem.
Works on anything but the slimmest sidewalls. No rebalanced required either.

That's how it's done, and cannot be used for TPMS sensors. Totally different animal there. I could see using on regular tires for an emergency, but would still get them checked by a pro. This solved the problem of me not being able to move the trailer.

I didn't mean to imply his tool would I was just outlining a simple procedure to replace a stem style TPMS sensor without breaking tire down.
You just use your iron or a pry bar to hold the bead down far enough to get the sensor in and out. Works for most tires.
Will not work for the style that are banded around the rim.
I used to work in tires and normally do not condone backyard repairs but this is one that can be done safely on your own.
That how I do them here in the Y-uk too.
Finally fixed my 1/2 inch impact. Got a new rebuild kit to fix broken valve.
I have been eyeing this impact for a while and finally pulled the trigger. Very happy with it so far. So much torque for a ratchet design
Picked up some new impact sockets as well.

I didn't know they even had that
I've been looking at those screw drivers too. I bought one common Philips size to see how I like it first. Love it so far

Was the third winner in a raffle last night and there was a women's jacket my girlfriend was looking at and a few vouchers and he mentioned a ratcheting screwdriver I looked and it was snap-on. Got a hat with it too. Tickets cost me $20.

About six bones. Heavy mofo to set up by myself!
Yep, it is. I figured it was a good all around size for various purposes.

View media item 44785I can never resist a decent hammer, so some new hammers.
Habero 2kg engineers hammer, for when you really need to beat something.
Small Thor rubber mallet, from my local independent hardware store.
Old 2lb Stanley England ball pein, was pleased to get this for what I paid, its hard to find a heavy ball pein that isn't beat up.

Some of these tools are old, but they are new to me so I figured it was valid to post them here. Sorry for the long vid, but there was just so much stuff in the box.
