    SAE tap & die set

    These are made in the USA, or at least say they are. https://www.amazon.com/Lang-Tools-2581-26-Piece-Restorer/dp/B00DTEFSWY/ I have a different Lang set and for just rethreading/chasing they are great.

    I need a welding machine

    I also bought the Hobart 140. I had no experience welding, but after watching some videos I gave it a shot. Easy machine to work with, even if it’s not the most adjustable. I had a welder buddy come by and weld up parts of the frame that I wasn’t confident enough to do myself and he was really...

    Jack stands

    Good deal, I bought some 6 ton ones and they say the same. Some companies are getting shady with their marketing. These AC Delco ones from O'Reilly are listed as 3t per pair. It is not very clear from the advert, except that it says 'unit of measure: per pair', but on the box or instructions...

    Jack stands

    Im not sure if it’s all jack stands but many of the ones I’ve seen lately are rated for the pair, so 3 ton stands will only hold 1.5 tons each

    New project

    Looks awesome, great milestone. Do you happen to have a thread or pics of the red car?

    Jack stands

    These are 8000 lb AC Delco jack stands bought here locally (O'Reilly, I think). Luckily I saw this as I was putting them under the car. Pretty freaky. I've used these before and inspected them when I first bought them and didn't see anything. No strange use or side-loading, just standard...

    New project

    New place looks great, congrats! Bummer that the other house didn’t work out, with all the time and energy you invested. But good that you decided quickly to find the right solution. Good luck with the rest of the build! Layout looks very nice. Love the side entry garage too.

    Jack stands

    I bought the ACDelco 6 ton stands from O'Reilly and they are stout and the welds look quality. They have the corners reinforced to distribute the load a bit, but do not have the full bottom plate...

    Who Wants To Recommend a Battery Charger?

    I’m not sure how long ago that was but all recent models of Battery Tender work on lead acid and AGM-style batteries. I have the 1.25 amp model but they have a 4a one as well.

    Pneumatic Ratchets - Price vs Quality

    I have not used them but I have heard good things about the lower end Campbell Hausfeld air tools: https://www.aircompressorsdirect.com/Campbell-Hausfeld-TL050101AV/p7736.html?gclid=CjwKCAjwhLHaBRAGEiwAHCgG3s2vGqiCvvK0h4_rxmmEaJen4Yz5vYcZNUsvnbArzZ-42xBkIvFHjxoC6coQAvD_BwE

    Convert Your Three Foot T12 T8 Shop Lights To LED

    I saw these at Costco and I haven't bought them yet, but am seriously considering replacing the fluorescent units in my garage with these: https://www.costco.com/Feit-4'-Linkable-LED-Shop-Light-2-pack.product.100410429.html They appear to be fully integrated, so you don't replace "bulbs" if...

    Power probe

    Super helpful for testing circuits and relays in particular. Worth every penny.

    Need timing light recommendation - what say you?

    I have an old timing light that was handed down from a family friend, but it’s at a point where it’s only good as garage art. I’ve had it apart to fix some wiring but it’s still behaving erratically. I feel like I $100 is probably as much as or more than I need to spend, and these are well...

    Best Torque Wrench

    I have the CDI one as well and it is a high quality part for sure. Cost difference compared to the name brands was significant and as mentioned above they make the Snap On brand...
