I have a Snap On torque wrench for higher torque stuff. It is not the type where you crank the handle, it has a knob on the side with a dial that turns. Had Snap On guy that I know from the track check it, it is calibrated. But...and this is me just overcomplicating my life..changed the trans...

I read thru this thread Need a new flashlight None of the ones mentioned fit my needs. I need more of a pin point one. I need it peek around the sensor chamber of my cameras. I bought this one https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071WK4R76/?tag=fabo03-20 while it is fairly bright it is not bright...

What an absolute pain in the arse these things can be. Put 3 up in the bay I use for work. Had 0 troubles with them until I built my smoker under them. Now on all 3 of them the rear most bulb is out. Swapped bulbs, they worked. Seems like they need to be twisted to just the right spot to work...

Anybody ever build a diy version of one of these things? Bit pricey but I don't see me safely spinning a motor over on one of the "manual labor" types anymore...

Just got done doing the annual maintenance on our two daily drivers. I ended up with one of them having the coolant start dripping overnight....it ended up missing the drain bucket so I have a bit of a mess. Mopped it up with some rags but the floor still feels damp...any suggestions?

Holy crap...bought a used Snap On torque wrench off of FleaBay. It is,not the kind where you rotate the handle to set it, it has a knob on the side...anyway when I got it it was turned up to 175 ft.lbs. Stumbled onto a Snap On truck...he told me $75 to calibrate...plus shipping...Ouch...he did...

.....cleaned in an electrolysis tank? Replacing the injectors on my Duramax. The high pressure fuel lines have quite a bit of corrosion...have used the electrolysis tank for all sorts of cast iron...

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005POGY74/?tag=fabo03-20 ...from Napa the other day. My Duramax has a leak. Not a very consistent leak so it has managed to make a disaster under the truck. Anyhow...what to spray? Have acetone, odorless mineral spirits and a gallon of Brake clean in transit...

...it no work no more. Crawled under my truck, turned it one...flashed real bright and out it went. Have hated that LED pile-o-crap since day one. What are you folks using?

Attempting to straighten out the bomb drop zone...aka the garage. Hoping to get started on my smoker and bike projects soon. Pulled out and separated the pile metal. Have a whole pile of odd shaped pieces of plate. Want to cut them into chunks for practicing with the Tig some year. Any...

The board in my ABS module apparently has some soldered joints that have failed. Was going to pull the module off and ship it to get repaired. Changed my mind. I have one of those clunky Weller guns...far from ideal for working on a circuit board. Any suggestions?

....hate it. Will be pulling a trio of 2g with a single 4g thru 160' of 2" conduit....with 3 90* sweeps and a pair of 45* corners. Have lube.... problem is I am not a boy scout so my knot tying skills suck...

Have these bolts that have LEDS in them that I was using as players lights. I mounted the plate on the left fender, using rivets and these 2 led bolts. Was heading to town with the trailer....rear tire on the left side blew out. Bent the snot out of the fender/plate...and ripped the wires from...

Lost power to our well house on Sunday. One leg of the breaker box had 120v, the other 85 or so. Initially I thought a gopher may have chewed the wires. Last night our electric water heater went out...strangely it is back on now. Checked it's power last night, mimicked the well house. 120v on...

It is based off of an hourly cycle, correct? Duty cycle is 15 minutes that means you can use this device for 15 straight minutes followed by a 45 minute rest, correct? Have a grinder for my chains on my chainsaws. During cooler months, when the garage is 30* or so the thing will run non-stop...

Recently switched the spool. Was using Harbor Freight wire, .035". Picked up a spool from Oxarc, with the cash customer discount paid less $$ at Oxarc than HF. Metals being welded are clean, but having a crap load of splatter. Beads look good, minus the splatter. Should I lower the voltage...

Left a pair of cutting pliers on top of a set of magnetic welding "helpers". Needless to say now when I snip the mig wire off it sticks to the cutters.....any way to de-magnetize them?

Went and swapped out my Mig bottle yesterday. Need to bend some stuff on my reverse flow smoker project so I asked about oxy-acetylene bottles. Fellow at Oxarc asked if I were going to be using a rose bud...which I am planning on. Pair of bottles, purchased but no fill was over $700.....will be...

Been working on my Reverse Flow smoker, cutting .250" plates for the firebox. Replaced the tip/electrode cutting like a champ. Have the amperage turned all the way up. Hooked to my compressor, never drops below a regulated 100 psi. After making 20' or so of cuts it flat out struggles to blast...

My old Makita finally bit the dust. Was cleaning up the inside of the 55 gallon drum that is going to be a smoker. Thanks to the nerve/tendon troubles both my wrists cramped up and I dropped it while it was running. I had my head inside the drum while it happened. Luckily it didn't hit me but my...

Anybody else keep a notebook/journal in there garage? Mine started out as just a simple thing with a few notes on the car. Now it's a full blown disaster. Car crap, bike junk, water heater parts schematics for our tank less water heater, welder manuals, chain saw crap. Saved the ends of the...

Been messing with the tig welder, a Miller Syncrowave 180SD. Wired thru a disconnect box. Breaker box is 7 feet away. Has a 60 amp breaker. Have an amp sitting on the other side of the welder. It is about 3 feet away, hooked to an Ipod. When using the welder the breaker that the amp is wired to...

At some point I will be replacing the torch on my Syncrowave 180SD. More or less just hobby welding....once I get myself edjemakated on the tig machine again. After talking to a few folks have convinced myself a water cooled one is in order. I know of CK Worldwide http://www.ckworldwide.com/...

Why use one over the other? For Mig and/or Tig....

With the upcoming bike build/rebuild I decided I needed a lift. With how expensive metal is I probably could have bought one for damn near what it cost to build. Mine is 9' long, most of the ones I looked at were in the 7' range. Even athough this length the chopper is going to close to the edge...

Needed a new blade. Was near Harbor Freight when I remembered. 5 pack for 20 bucks or whatever it was. First few cuts went like a hot knife thru soft butter. Last cut....what the hell happened? 2.5" 3/16th" walled square stock. Couldn't get thru it. Cut 3 sides and just stopped cutting. Had to...

What are you folks using to store all your connectors? Between all the weather pack grommets/connectors and all the standard junk (rings/butts/male & female push on etc.) what I am using just does not have enough bins. Looking for something that will house it all and be portable....

I don't weld that often. Would like to not have to not buy another spool next time the welder is needed. Will storing it inside the house, in a couple of plastic bags tied shut be enough to prevent it from getting contaminated like the last spool I bought........hate tossing a spool that still...

Pretty sad when you have to resort to buying a drill bit on line.......:banghead: :wack: :banghead: :violent1:

Which do you prefer? Did not include water cooled ones as I do not see the need for the expense of the whole setup for your typical hobbyist....
