Two of my daughters have GM 1.4 Turbo cars with the problematic valve covers, held on with E10 bolts. I was able to use Craftsman splined sockets on those and it was just fine. Not sure I'd want to do that with larger, tighter bolts.

Good score! I searched my app and saw that my store had it, and also a breaker bar for $6. I dropped my daughter off at dance and then went across the street to Walmart, but now everything is showing full price. :-(

I have the standard length non-reversible GearWrench, and some real cheap flex head Pittsburghs that are only used if absolutely needed. When I need to use the open end, I always go for the old raised panel Craftsman wrenches.

This guy gets it. I have a couple Craftsman Quiet Glide boxes, and they have been good, but that hammer drawer really takes some effort to open/close. Honestly though, I was never gonna spring for ball bearing back when I bought them. Actually, I received the real basic Craftsman boxes as a...

These are filled with Helium, so they're very light.

Sure looks like a valve spring tester to me.

Sometimes you just need torque that a cordless can't provide, or can't provide for long. A couple examples that come to mind are running a 1" Forstner bit through a bunch of studs for running Romex, or priming the oiling system on a big block Chevy engine through the distributor hole.

The last time I got a new phone, I read things consistent with what D60 had stated. I almost never leave mine charging overnight. The advice I saw was to charge it up to 80% and let it discharge to 20%, for longest battery life.

5/16" for carburetor bowl screws and hose clamps. Probably the only one I use, but it's not all that rare. I realize most aren't changing jets on automotive carburetors on a regular basis. You also need to keep a spray can cap handy to catch the fuel after removing the first bottom screw.

I understand what you're saying, but I've never adjusted output on an impact wrench before. Just release the trigger as soon as the nut tightens and the hammering starts. You'll be short of the target, but should be within a turn.

The best jobs are those that require a tool purchase! I do try to be reasonable on cost/quality. I don't know that I own anything tool-wise that is "best in class". As much as I enjoy accumulating tools, I wouldn't consider it collecting.

Is it that hard to search eBay when the item number is given? Snap-On price is $625. eBay has several listings in the $325-350 range.

In drag racing, you find what works best on your car, with your gauge, and you only use your same gauge. Someone else's gauge will likely vary by 1/2 psi or more. That kind of variance is no problem on a daily passenger car but a big deal when tuning for high horsepower with about 5 psi in the...

This one (1200 lb/ft) will be on sale for $95 from Black Friday through Monday, down from $129.

You want a link to the jokes being told around the shop?

I'm just a home gamer but I've kept my stuff all-metal. I know I can always get those back to 'factory clean' with brake cleaner on a shop towel. I don't use cheater bars often at all, but those will fit better over an all-metal handle and won't gouge it up.

I got the Milwaukee as a cheap add-on when buying another M12 tool. I've used it more than I thought I would, and it's been handy to have as a cordless. It's pretty loud and vibrates a lot if you crank the speed up, but I don't know how that would compare to other brands/models.

It's a valid pedantic argument to state that current SAE standards use metric measurements, so saying "SAE" to mean "not metric" is inaccurate. But, we all know what it means and I really can't recall tools being differentiated by any other terms.
