    Using Impact Sockets only for 3/8” and 1/2” dr

    I picked up a 3/8" and 1/2" set of stubby 18v impacts from Ridgid a couple of years ago and am using chrome sockets less and less. Cheap set of Quinn 3/8" impacts has worked well for me so far. Still grab mostly chrome for 1/4" and 3/8" ratchets. Can't remember the last time I used a chrome...

    Removing slide bolts, spinning pins?

    Walmart sells thin wrenches. Quality isn't all that great, but they are cheap. Should be easy to warranty. https://www.walmart.com/ip/New-Hyper-Tough-8-Piece-Thin-Wrench-Set-Metric-with-Soft-Storage-Case/5665171705?classType=REGULAR&athbdg=L1300&from=/search

    Glas Weld COAT vs Opti-Lens

    A few months ago I used McKees37 Graphene headlight coating on 3 different cars and have been very pleased with the results. No yellowing since and very easy to use. They have a BOGO on right now as well. I tried the Cerakote packages prior and it didn't last very long for me.

    New tool thread

    I have yet to use my 1/4" set, but the 3/8" size has come in handy on occasion. Have also used the 1/2" size a few times as well. Including the 23mm! This ratchet works with 1/4" Astro sockets as well as the Power Torque sockets...

    Another Moly Question

    A lower viscosity oil, relative to a given load, is more likely to end up in a boundary condition. Friction modifier and AW would be especially useful in boundary conditions. I could see why an 0W16 might have a higher level of moly. A higher viscosity oil, in your engine, would be in...

    Transmission Additives?

    My uncle had a 2001 (?) Odyssey and Lubegard Red helped it's transmission considerably. I would remove 10oz. of existing fluid and put in a 10oz. bottle.

    The Real Reason Why Music Is Getting Worse

    Newer Kpop is mostly garbage. Wasn't the case 10-15 years ago. Ailee, Hyolyn, Eunji and others have real talent that surpassed most western artists. There used to be a real appreciation of skill there, but that has nearly all evaporated now as "brand" has become more important. This is a...

    US UFO Disclosure Day

    That is far from "disclosure". Without proper context, it's hard to decern much. That video could be a parachute flare blowing in the wind.... I'm glad they are disclosing somethings, but it looks like it might be just enough to feed the trolls. Does raise the question as to why the moon...

    7 Habits of Highly Effective People - Give it a try?

    I studied this book back in college for some reason (psych elective?), and found it useful. I deal with custom design projects on a daily basis and "Begin with the end in mind" is a foreign concept to many people.

    No-Skip Metric Combination Wrenches Needed

    I got mine about the same time. It's been my "in car" kit ever since. Haven't used it a ton, but has never let me down.
