    K member, engine and tranny stand

    I built a mobile bench/stand for my snowmobile maintenance years ago and found it worked well for my cars as well. Of course, a lift makes it work as designed. Mike

    Metal Building Issues

    I have fractional, letter, metric, and number size drills from 0 to 80. I do use them for drilling and checking clearances. Very nice to own. No substitute for having the right tools. Mike
