Thanks. The smoke machine has a regulator on it that only allows a 0.5lb output so that it can be used for Evap leaks. The instructions say that you can hook up an air compressor with a max output of 200 psi to the machine but I won't be using anything with that much psi.

Cool, that will do it. It looks decent for the money.
It had pretty good reviews and most people seemed to like it on the YT videos I watched. It should work for what I need.
Sure that will do fine, it doesn't have to cost a fortune to do the job.

Nice stuff being posted here.
Hi honey I am home.Haven't bought anything recently. I think the last ones I got some time ago were a couple of multi-tools and Estwing Fireside Friend.

Some #1, #2, and #3 JIS Philips screwdrivers from Vessel (bought at Amazon). The ball head screwdrivers have a smooth tip, the others have a serrated tip for a little more torque. I like the knurling on the shaft of the blue-handle screwdrivers. Tips on all of them are magnetized.

I like the ball drivers a lot, the tips are holding up as well as any other high quality drivers I have.
Nice. I have some screwdrivers that are magnetized. Honest question I have is, if parts are magnetized in an engine from contact with magnetized tools, is this good or bad? Like I took the valve shims out of my Toyota with a magnetic tool. It seems that is now going to attract iron to the shim, right where the cam lobe scrapes over it.
heat will remove magnetism

Spurring the economy. Wanted a 3/8” impact set, and picked one up. Also have the Proto 1/2” set coming for my other garage.
I like the Proto finish, the bead blasted black oxide. Not very rust resistant, at least without a lot of oil. But feels good.

You and The Critic have the RBRT (Rounded Bolt Removal Technology) sockets, I notice.

What's not clear to me is if they prevent rounding out on an intact, undamaged fastener head. Will they eventually make the standard hex bits obsolete?
