    Low temp solder shrink tubing connectors won't find a place in my parts bins. Maybe because I can solder and am skeptical to the low temp connectors being capable of much current.

    My new cool tool is a vacuum pump for my generator radiator. I was able to vacuum down the gen cooling system and refill it without airlocks.

    Used them all the time on myboat. Solved corrosion problems and vibrating apart issues. Still use them on odd jobs, just be careful when adding heat to the surrounding area. I use a mini butane heat gun.

    This is a great tool. Robert in New Ulm turned me on to it When I was at his house. You can buy brake parts cleaner by the gallon or even the 5-gallon container that's all I buy it now and it's about 2 bucks a gallon that way. You let the air out of this sprayer open it up fill it 2/3 of the way with brake parts cleaner pressurize it the rest of the way with however much air you can jam in there and it works good use the hell out of it I do. Thank you Robert.

    I had been thinking about a yard sale but just bought a dump truck instead.

    This is normally what I am faced with going in. Go from this to scrubbed clean with this simple brush and tub and the brake parts cleaner sprayer

    Be sure to protect your lily white concrete, cause her gonna make a mess.


    It never ceases to amaze me the way some shops make an art form out of sending you down the road with every last bit of grease and grime that you rolled in with. Not here. The next photo is what u should look like after a shop is done replacing front end components like bags and a arms. It's a prevo take care of it like one. Now shes ready for new parts and another decade or 2.

    A previous post in this thread already showed a mag ( magnetic base) drill.

    That tool has now been relegated to yard art. This one is the ticket.

    The old fashon mag drill uses drill bits and when u put the pressure nessessary u can easily overpower the magnet with too much pressure and or r drilling a bigger dimension hole. U need to add a clamp to the base to assist the magnet. It is also very bulky cant use it in many spots.

    This drill uses anular cutters. Its right angle and requires very little pressure to start the hole and drill thru.

    I needed to make new holes for the bigger koni shocks i put on the steer on my Pete. Litterally took 60 seconds to drill thru the frame rail.

    1200 bucks worth every penny.

    After u get one of these u will put all tbe other filter wrenches in the bottom drawer.

    Tough tight filters dont stand a chance anymore since i bought these.
