I must have 10 oil filter wrenches in the tool cabinet. The best one for big block filters is the one I bought for my 68 Fury when I was 18. In 1973.

I use a corded Milwaukee 7” polisher with the 3M foam pad system. Very happy with the results.

I should be using that Atlas, huh?

I have an Atlas asymmetrical 10,000lb. No complaints and reasonably priced. A lot of these lifts are suspiciously similar.

My experience with the Hirsch paint wasn’t that great. Doesn’t have a great shelf life after opening, dries slowly on your parts after applying, didn’t seem very resistant to gasoline exposure. Just my experience.

I bought mine from Northern Tool. I replaced the cylinder after 10 years.

The air muffler on the foot valve was plugged, causing it to not vent air and return quickly. Quick fix. Thanks for the manual link.

I put oil in the two cylinders per the manual, and it has made the return worse. I will chase the vents.

I just bought a Coats 40-50SA tire machine. It operates under pressure and breaks beads very well, but it returns to it's at-rest position very slowly, wether there is a tire on the machine or not. Anyone have experience with this machine or this condition?

I have a Hein-Werner 2 1/2 ton that's going on 50 years old. I've over-worked it most of it's life, and it's still good as new.

You mean everyone doesn’t own a 3/4 drive socket set, much less three of them?

My shop building is 36x90. I have 36x36 portioned off and heated. The first 10 years I had a 5hp compressor on the heated side, and I didn’t like the noise. I now have a 7 1/2hp on the ingested side, and I like it much better. Been there 7 years. I have a flexible block heater attached to the...

I own two trailers and move tractors around to shows here in NY. According to the DOT, if you are not engaged in commerce, the DOT tie- down rules don’t apply.

I carry a fuel pump pushrod, an alternator, and a alternator belt. Will never need them again.

I use coal slag media in my cabinet and pot blaster. I source that at a builder's supply. They normally have at least two grades, I get the finest grade they stock. Comes in 90 or 100 lb. bags, which are a pain. I keep a small bag of glass beads around for aluminum or die-cast parts that I want...

I have an asymmetrical lift with a clear floor. I wouldn’t want the floor pan style, but they need a little less ceiling height. Probably a 9000 lb. lift is plenty. My four door Cummins 2500 4-wheel drive with 8ft. box weighs 7400lbs. with me in it. Just my opinion, of course.

I love this Vidmar cabinet but very expensive.

A 7.5 hp two stage will run sandblast cabinets or pot blaster very well. 5 hp two stage won’t keep up.

I would like a dust-proof indoor cover made out of parachute-like material that fits loosely and goes on and off easily.

I suspect that unless you are driving your car here in the Northeast during the winters, the steel lines will outlast everyone old enough to read this. (And their grandchildren)
