Re: Automotive Tools
Why do you think there is a problem with your engine?
None, I was just curious on how each cylinder would perform relative to the others with given it's already a 13 y.o. engine.

Yeah better do this on the next tune up. It could tell a lot of things just like when one goes to the doctor for checkup which is actually good but sometimes bad for the wallet. ( when you suddenly are made aware the things needed to be taken care of) 🙂
It's been a habit already for me. I do compression testing during tuneup (plug replacement ).
I need a better way to take off crank pulleys on some Honda vehicles. There are two tool choices.

Re: Automotive Tools
Some more wrenches
Angle Wrenches - good for situations where obstruction is an issue
Flare wrenches - Snap On makes the best ( these don't spread and round off brake line nuts etc.. )

Re: Automotive Tools
Here's a good tool to have in the shop. I have several of this in varying cord lengths which I use mostly for automotive work. Probably the newer LED designs are better but this type is cheap and so is bulb replacement. It works well as intended.
Make sure to get one with a magnet. This feature comes in handy often.

Re: Automotive Tools
+1 This guys explains it well and he's not boring to watch!
I'm really not fond of expertvillage videos, aside from the very robotic speech, the person teaching seems to be bored as well 😀
Re: Automotive Tools
Has anyone ever watched "... is Born" series of Discovery? It's about the veterinarian petrol head who loves cars, motorcycles, and aircrafts. He restores and does things from scratch
Re: Automotive Tools
^Oh yes, that's Veterinarian Mark Evans. I love his humour with "Pete Mate" his video man 😀
Funny and educational stuff!

Here's a good cheap Slider Bar. Unior 3/8" drive. Makes a good T-Handle if you have extensions.

Re: Automotive Tools
Jay, My friend is looking for a cheap but reliable racket/socket set (how do you correctly term it) that is locally available. He is actually borrowing from me since he know that I get to tinker on cars but unfortunately I don't have one as well.
I saw Toptul from the last PhilConstruct which offers sets from 1,900 (SRP 2,500) and above. Taiwan made but the feel is really good. I tried asking how much for a micrometer tension wrench and I almost dropped on the floor when I heard the price. Honestly, I couldn't anymore remember the price due to the shock. I never knew that a 3/8" tension wrench would cost that much, how much more for a 1/2" drive one!
Re: Automotive Tools
I got both of these sets for Autospeed shop.
Aigo 10-32mm 12 point 1/2" Drive Socket Wrench Set ( Japan ) - 2,870 at LYS
Toptul 6 point 1/2" Drive Set ( Taiwan ) - 3,100 at New Triump
Check the Stanley set too. Owyn seems to have a favorable feedback on the 1/2" drive set.
Is he looking for a 1/2" drive set or 3/8" drive set?

Re: Automotive Tools
Knowing the guy, he won't really have an idea thus he prolly wants a set to begin with. Even if most would advise to get a 1/2" drive, the sockets on the set would suffice for basic car work.
Taking this chance, would the bar tension wrenches be accurate enough? I asked since the micrometer version are too impractical for for its price just for a few actual usage. The thing I just don't want about is it's enormous size 😀
