I'm married. Someone has to
Are you saying I shouldn't post a picture of my tool on the internet?
I think we all want to see crotchless pictures of Matt's tool, wait, that doesn't sound right.

Its not about if he does or doesn't. Its a tool, and if you don't own one.. you probably should!
No, but I can now!!
Curious because I went through this with my wife's car this winter after she messed up the linkage (replaced now) and I had to take the wiper arms off a bunch of times to temporarily reattach it before it was replaced.
I was looking at the puller style one, didn't know if this worked better or what.

Scored this on eBay for a good deal. I haven't needed them yet, but figure they will come in handy with a German car:
I have that exact kit.
Rock solid, especially for the price.

Picked up this used JB Industries Platinum DV-200N vacuum pump. Fingers crossed that it's a good one. I didn't have a vacuum gauge to test it and it could use new feet but I didn't want to miss out on a local deal. Now to acquire all the rest of the kit and kaboodle and figure out how to use it.

Beautiful. I should have grabbed that one!

Thanks for the advice / comment. I picked up the triple square set for $18.75 shipped on ebay (used), so even if it sits in my box unused I didn't lose anything. Heck, I'll probably use it on someone else's car before my own.

I don't have any 3/4" stuff, but that sure sounds like a good deal!

The seller actually ended up being kind of difficult. I posted links here, as he had several listed, and then some other people bought them, but he canceled their orders and refunded them, saying he ran out

New Snap On impact and 6" belt tension tool. Both very handy.
Allen USA 29mm. Just a filler for the box. A size I don't use often. Really needed it last week. Had to improvise. eBay deal.

One of my vendors at work needed some reviews on a bead breaker they make. I got a few mechanics to try it out and write reviews, they sent me this as a thank you.

That's pretty, I want to pick up the quiet version of that. How's the weight and balance?

I haven't used it yet but it feels nice out of the box.

For some reason I just imagined a full parking lot at Lowe's and all the cars are missing their windshield wipers.
Ha, that made me laugh
How much did you pay for this set?

Did you buy them from Dennis's eBay store? The satin finish really is fine finish.

Give it a few oil changes before using it proper, makes a difference on the final few 1000 microns having fresh oil.

Thanks for the tip. I found a PDF document that talks about flushing the pump to get all the old oil and contaminants out. I ordered 2 quarts of the special JB vacuum pump oil. Hopefully it will be enough.

A/C and refrigeration to remove moisture and air before charging the system.
I already banked this one in a way but this is the first time USING a new tool. Roloc bristle discs are awesome. This wheel hub has 115K miles on it:
I think this is going to drive a new tool purchase of the Milwaukee M12 Buffer / Sander that does Rolocs.

Where did you score the rolocs from?
Enco. They were 6.65$ a piece with the deal! Pretty good price for bristle discs. I also got a boatload of actual discs for cheap.
On the far right in that picture.

The 3M site has what looks like might work with an angle grinder.
Does anybody know what this attaches to?
