Got any cool tools lately?

[shady]

Picked up one of these finally.
With the LS based engines you usually measure and set lifter preload by how many turns it takes on the bolt after zero lash to seat the rocker.
It dawned on me that the shaft rocker kit won't allow that method very easy.
This will allow me to get more precise anyway I guess.

Finally got benchbtop drill press back on a bench. I bought collet and new drill chucks for it.
Keeping outta the shop air.

Well I have been recycling oil for running in diesel engines and I came across this centrifuge separator.
It will save me on filters.

Get ahold of Adam Deuling. He’s a pro and can probably help get you headed in the right direction.

I was all set to buy one of them this time last year. Ended up spending more on my skid loader than I thought instead.
Kind of wish id have bought a little less loader and still got the table.

This thing kicks ass. I picked it up to assist with the resealing of the roof on my 26’ car hauler.

In a professional application it would be priceless. I had forearm pump after applying the first tube with 10 more tubes to go. I like how it backs off the pressure when you release the trigger.

Backsaver from marketplace. Managed to hang one sheet without it, said fork it there’s gotta be a better way.

I bought mine new. El-cheapo. Did my entire house. Then sold it for almost what I paid for it.

... El-cheapo.

We got the same model then.

Hoping to do something similar.

Went to HF and picked up a needle scaler today.
Man that thing helps!
I got sick of trying to scrap the BS off of this axle.

I've always wanted one, just never got one. And now I can think of a few projects that would have been much simpler if just went and spent the $60.

I've had one for a couple of decades. The needles are really short now.

Seeing one of those immediately brings to mind the sound of those chipping away paint on the aircraft carrier. Reverberated throughout many decks of the ship and in the dry dock it was a constant din.

 

[83ChevyK5Blazer]

You could always hear them on a ship down the dock from us, and then the dc alarm when someone found a weak spot under the water line, happened at least twice a year

Well I either made a poor financial decision or found a great way to paint my frame and floor. There's a lot of YouTube content out there that shows that this sprayer can do auto body work. 25% off at HF.
