...gotta respect the rapacious capitalists even after he burns you... Right?
Edited for clarity and accuracy.

Have wanted a press for years and finally got one. So far I really like it.

I don't know why I didn't buy a press years ago. No beating in wheel hub races!

Me doing races on the car,no pounding. Done with junk we all have laying around. 2 sockets,2 2 washers,2 nuts 2 wrenches and a piece of all thread rod to pulll everything together. You can leave the hub on the car saving time and labor. It's even easier if you freeze your races and warm the knuckle with a propane torch.

I bought these from Speedway Motors in 5 different gauges(11, 12,14, 16, 18G). 5-6 hole sizes in each kit. Eastwood has 18G and I've seen them elsewhere but speedway had the most gauges and roughly $80 for 150 of them. Makes it easy to repair holes in frame, sheetmetal, etc. Just drill with a stepbit, magnet in place, and tack/ weld in. My C30 floorpan had about 20 holes I've been repairing with the 16 gauge version and it saves a ton of time!

that's funny, I was thinking of doing the same thing for my trailer and was wondering if it was on the list of can't use it for that.

On a spree lately.

Got the atlas pole saw and it works good for my uses.

Picked up this spool gun for the Hobart to play with.

Got this grease gun. I recently got one of the lock-n-lube grease couplers and I love that thing. Combining the two will make all my zerks tremble in fear.

On my radar is a hydraulic tube bender. I’m trying to decide between these two styles:

Okay, that's pretty rad.

Dad and I both have spent countless hours making little plugs for holes in sheet metal
