I want one of those Tech II's so bad for my truck.
I read someplace there is software that ties in and can do real time sensor values on OBD1 vehicles with a lap top but have not really needed it.

Let's see if it actually boots up and is functional, the last 2 Genesis scan tools I bought have cables you have to hold just the right way for them to work. All this stuff is so obsolete and have not been touched in years.

Scored a Hein Warner 4 ton floor jack last week. It had a in service date of '17 so should be fine, if not throw a service kit in it. I don't agree with the price of these new but do believe they are much better than a disposable Harbor Freight jacks. It will be around long after I am gone. I will not be picking this one up and throwing it in the bed off the truck to take care of anything any time soon.

Impact screwdrivers are really underused and underrated tools in my opinion.

I find myself using them fairly regularly for all sorts of tasks

Yeah it probably weighs 150#. I have an aluminum floor jack that I take when I have a trailer, cause I can pick it up and put it in the truck bed....my big floor jack is at least 80# so I don't pick it up if I don't have to.

well when you find something on friday afternoon that you were looking for last week,...and can't find it again saturday afternoon, and then realize you walked past it 3x.

or you are forced to tell your spouse why you have left torx screwdrivers and allen wrenches on the kitchen table....with a note, where you think the $90 truck part is hiding to find in the daylight. ..."note to self, look with a flashlight under the truck seat,....and mower decks")

$23.99 from Amazon. Battery tool organizer. The shelves fold for shipping and bow up when tightened. I enlarged the bolt holes to no avail. Something’s tweaked. My tools are off my bench!

I have a really old Toledo like that for threading pipe. The chain clamp on it proves useful in all sorts of pipe and tube clamping applications.

That's why I grabbed it (besides being so cheap), my buddy and his dad are/were pipefitters and have one, I've borrowed it doing some exhaust work and it is very handy.

When I borrowed it doing the sidepipes on the 76:
