I don't. It was when I did the disc brake conversion on Crusty Biscuit, before Crusty Biscuit had a name. I honestly didn't expect it to pop loose so easy.

Got the centering rod for narrowing the 9 inch. A new deadblow hammer. I'm trying a little better one, I kept destroying the orange ones. Got a couple of kneeling pads, they are great for welding. A paper towel rack. Got a tire valve stem set... 10 bucks from Amazon.

Got some better 3/8” impact sockets that came in a fancy case, 6 pt are the best strip prevention.

While not fitting the strict definition of "tools," I would consider these to be some of the most important tools in the shop. About $46 from Rot Auto:

I had picked up a set of manuals for the Corvette from them too. Printed by Detroit Iron, they are licensed reprints and the quality is excellent. There's nothing like having the factory manual. Except maybe having all the Service Bulletins too.

Clearly I've gone on a shopping binge.

A friend recommended a Power Probe since I've got a lot of vehicles with electrical problems lately. There was a choice of just the probe, or for an extra $10 I could get the fancy one with the blow-molded case.

I'm a sucker for tools that come with a case. Usually, they have more accessories, and the case protects everything and keeps it clean, organized and, most importantly, together. Plus this one even came with a scare sticker for the toolbox!

I’ve been thinking about a new 1/4” ratchet for a while and HF emailed a 20% coupon for Icon tools so I picked one up. I chose the swivel head version after looking at the different models on the shelf and it feels pretty slick compared to my old Craftsman ratchet. I’ll keep the Craftsman around because it’s old-school-forged-in-USA, but as long as the slightly larger Icon fits in the workspace, that’s what I’ll be using.

Got a set of crows feet. A pair of rubber wheel chocks from the HF. The wife made me go to some garage sales. Stopped at one house. The lady there told us all about her life...(over share) short story... she caught her husband cheating on her with another man (told y'all it was an over share). He basically told her he didn't care what she did with his stuff. She told me 50.00 for what ever I can fit in a bucket.
