Re: Vintage S-K Wayne Tools / Toolbox

My dad has that set. I grew helping him fix the car, and our bikes with it. I can still hear the ratchet if I think about it.

Don't get rid of it. It's small, and easy to keep.

Re: Mechanics/Techs did i really screw up????

If you use enough Loctite, you can sign up for their class. Part of the takeaway is a three ring binder with all the datasheets and selection guides you can use.

Re: How NOT to treat your tools!

All he really had to do was put the plastic box on the ground, the chest on top of that, and the flip the blue tub over the top of the stack. I suspect that this is even too much for this guy to do.

Re: How to clean gapless spark plugs?

I am in the replace it group as well. But in a pinch, for urgent situations, I have toasted the carbon and oil (liquid gas from a flooded engine) off with a propane torch.

Re: Grandma's house (long)

Someone in the business could explain it better, and they change the laws all the time, but I think that you can still pull $250k in capital gains out of a home sale before taxes kick in.

Re: Best Prank on a Co-Worker

We would put a back up alarm under the dash of the delivery truck, and set it to come on with the key.

We got one driver to take it across town to have the "oil change alarm" reset.
