Hmm well aren't you fancy,too good to take out a drain plug with a combination wrench.Hmm,maybe you need an impact,you don't even have to turn it. I hope you know I'm just kidding,an impact would strip an oil pan,but you could still use it to take them out,save 1/2 the energy.
lol agree. Working on medical equipment, I can always tell who's lazy with the drill. The screws are half stripped and way too tight, or have been changed to a different screw.

Right tool for the job.

Well, since I began my maintenance/fixin stuff/tool inventory and it is pretty much done, I discovered that my vacuum test gauge was missing in action. Couldn't find it in any box, container, bag, or anywhere else it could be. So I found a USA made replacement for less than $50 on "that auction site". Tested this morning, works like it's supposed to.

$500 for both, I figure is a pretty good deal.

I have a similar coil nailer bought in 2017ish. It’s one of the few tools that is actually justifiable to purchase for a single job. Nailing 20 squares of comp shingle down by hand sucks.

Not a roofer, but put a new roof on my brother’s house and a shed for my dad.

They work great for flashing as well.
I bought a coil nailer at horrible freight to do 1 1/2 square on my shed. lol Does that mean I am lazy?

Bought this a couple weeks ago, it's a coolant exchange machine. It pulls old coolant out, applies a vacuum to the system, then installs the new coolant.

Scored this also a while back but have not had time to play with it, a old school GM Tech 2 with OBD1 stuff

When you find it can you see if my 10mm wrench is with it?
