Just got this induction heater. We were trying to replace the oil pan on my son’s Ram and broke a bolt. Looks like the others may follow suit. Haven’t tried it yet but it looks cool. Also bought an Icon creeper and Pittsburgh flex impact sockets but the heater was the only thing I took a...

And the icing on the cake... Each side has it's own tiny little 10 amp fuse. I had one out and fooled with it endlessly before I realized there were two fuses.

I think the higher end models have LEDs. I see some and they have a smaller, sleeker headlight. Our 21 has that awful flapper. Does next to nothing.

I have a 24mm Snap on 3/8 drive socket I use for air cartridges in bicycle forks. I use it a couple times a year.

I have a press kit just like that only without the nice organized case. I have to get a box and some foam and get to it.

Mechanix Gloves.

I’m pretty sure my Snap on set comes in 32nds.

Cannondale sells a 29er with a 1x8 drivetrain for just over 500 bucks. Just sayin’. https://www.cannondale.com/en-us/bikes/mountain/trail-bikes/trail/trail-8

Another thing I like to do is use Tef Gel on bottom bracket threads into the frame instead of grease. Lasts better. Completely blocks out water. It’s a non metallic marine anti seize. Fantastic stuff.

My wife drives a 2021 Traverse. My DD is a 2009 Suburban. After a long trip where I was in the Traverse with the yellow warning lights on the mirrors to warn you that someone is in the lane next to you, I was driving my truck and almost took out some poor girl driving in my blind spot...

I’ve got the snap on or blue point version of those strippers and they’re also plastic. Probably had em 35 or so years. Still work fine. Don’t sweat the plastic. I’ve got a handful of different types of wire stripping tools and that one is the one I usually reach for.

I’ll be the fourteen year old. Every time my wife says something bothers her or something hurts, I offer up Vitamin D. Needless to say, she doesn’t take me up on it. Sorry. Couldn’t resist. In all seriousness we do feel better in the warm weather and we’re out in the sun.

Not exactly road food but I am on vacation and no where near home. We took my FIL out for his 90th birthday to a place in St Pete Beach called Spinners. The restaurant is 12 stories high and rotates. I had grilled octopus and tuna tartar. Awesome.

I’m 57. In all my years driving I’ve used a spare tire once. It was on my 98 Yukon about twenty years ago. I’m a freak about keeping the tires on our cars in good condition. I also keep a plug kit and a bicycle pump in my Suburban at all times. I’ve installed a plug here or there. The...

Like mentioned above, I also use RX Safety. For years I’ve been wearing Wiley X Bricks. I have clear and sunglasses. They do double duty as my mountain biking glasses.
