I've got a 25/32 socket. I have no idea why, and I've always wondered what it's for. -- David Scheidt dmscheidt@gmail.com _______________________________________________ Shop-talk mailing list http:/
19/32 is really close to 5/16W 3/8BS. It's about 10 thou too small. It works okay for it. I think many of the small sized wrenches are to fit BA screws. -- David Scheidt dmscheidt@gmail.com _________
My guess: A combination of following too closely (Karl lives near Chicago, right? They ticket you if you keep a safe following distance...) and fear of the brake pedal. Lots of people get freaked out
The computer can do it a whole hell of a lot faster than you can, and can do it one wheel at a time. I very much doubt you can stop faster than good ABS. (I don't think GMs early ABS systems were ver
Harris are a big name. They're now owned by Lincoln Electric, but I think they're still making good stuff. My gas stuff is all Harris, except probably hoses. You need to figure which model it is, and
seems identical to the snap-on so in that case, is it the 'second' quality? other times, it's obviously just a re-badged other brand. the only consistent thing I've noticed with the two is the shocki
Go look at the HF manual. They're all online, and generally actually written in american english. -- David Scheidt dmscheidt@gmail.com _______________________________________________ Shop-talk mailin
I did. The supplier had them sitting on the dock. I think they do it for all the bottles they sell, actually. The expected lifetime of a gas cylinder is something like 100 years, would you believe? -
Was it new, or just a new valve? They don't last forever. I've got a size larger tank on my MIG welder than I bought, because I got an exchange tank that didn't work, and when I took it back, they di
If you look at the neck of a gas bottle, there are a bunch of numbers. One of them will be something like TW 46.8. That's the tare weight, in lbs. If it's an old cylinder, it may just be an unmarked
PO176 is a fuel composition sensor fault. Do you have a typo, or a flex fuel truck? PO171 is bank 1 lean. Check for vacuum leaks first. That's cheap and easy. Then pull the MAF and clean it. You do t
I've got one of those. Well, given that it's a few years old, probably a different model. but it came from harbor freight, and looks like that. It uses lots of air, but I wouldn't have though it used

My all time favorite defective out of the box tool was a snap-on screwdriver that was missing the screwdriver. Just the plastic handle. -- David Scheidt dmscheidt@gmail.com __________________________
That's pretty much my take on HF and other vendors of cheap imported tools. I've got probably close to 100 C-clamps from them (It is, in fact, possible to have too many, it turns out.), several cheap
