Default New forum - a true gearhead section!

Lets face it, all of us that work on these cars love tools. I start to drool when I look in a Snap-On catalog, I could spend hours at Sears Hardware, and I also fantasize about having a house with a lift installed in the garage. I've always been intrigued with the newest tools, the coolest features, etc...

This forum is a place to discuss them!

-Welders and welding methods
-Air compressors
-Pressure Washers
-Hand Tools
-Power Tools
-Restoration Tools
-GM Specialty Tools
-Automotive lifts
-Dynojet Machines
-Machining tools
-Assembly and Precision tools
-Tool boxes
-Engine hoists
-Engine stands
-Workbenches and tables
-Vises and clamps
-Cutting torches
-Body working tools
-Engine diagnostic tools
-Hydraulic presses
-Jackstands
-Floor jacks

This forum can also be used to buy/sell/trade tools. I know many of us are into buying/trading tools.

Well, start up some threads!

Sears tool section. They seem to always have that certain crazy sized metric wrench you need when you're in a pinch.

Let's try this again.
Sears is really great. In my area, we have Acme auto parts. Their tool warehouse is full of hard to find items in a pinch, and prices are tremendous. And, they're not made of that super-cheesium steel that one might associate with lesser priced tools.
Tim Allen would be proud! herr herrrr!!!!!!
Great idea for a new forum, Tony!
