    Can you have too many tools?

    No, you can never have too many tools. But when you have a lot of tools you need to have a clip board to write down who borrowed each item.

    Vacuums - as in the "cleaning the carpets" kind - for cars?

    I have an M18 it works great. Get the 1.5 batteries for lighter weight. The bottom cover swings open for easy trash dumping and filter cleaning.

    I built a plywood box for the gear case that just slipped into a heavy cardboard box. For some reason at the time is cost more to ship a plywood box. I think they considered one a box and one built out of wood a crate that would need to go truck freight. no issues except for cost. I tried a...

    What winch are you using on your car trailer?

The handles on the...

    Speedometer gear housing leaking

    Try checking how true the cable turns in the input case of the speedometer cable. I have seen where the cable was kinked and damaged at the point where the input case meets the outer cable casing. That may put enough pressure on the speedo gear stem to make it leak.

    Diagnosing multiple misfires in a computer controlled car
