I bought this for $14 in 2020. Its great for removing OE mud flaps and wheel well trim without pulling the wheel.
What does the Ai stand for? Looks like a loss in translation…

Back to Chemistry class for you.
A. L. Not A. I. the second letter is not capitalized. Someone smarter that me can explain the why.It’s the symbol for aluminum on the periodic table
I think Ai is a typo, the correct symbol for aluminum is Al (AL).It’s the symbol for aluminum on the periodic table

Interesting i could have swore it was AI lol. I barely passed science class so maybe that’s my mistake but I swear I remember them teaching it as AI either way it throws you off for sure lol. The one thing I thought I remembered from the periodic table haha.
To make it more confusing. That's why I use LDB not ldb.
I ordered this this morning to replace an old vice-grip pliers. They will be harder to find since they are no longer being made.

$42.86 on Amazon. I had the balance of a gift card to burn up and the price seemed pretty good. Happy New Year.
The company is out of business at least for any locking grip tools. Their website says get them while you can. They will still honor the warranty but no more to be made.I ordered this this morning to replace an old vice-grip pliers. They will be harder to find since they are no longer being made.

In all honesty I could have gotten away without it too, but...........................
I get it. There are some things of which you can almost never have too many: cordless tool batteries, sawhorses, locking pliers, sliding F-clamps, shop square footage.....and in certain cultures: wives. However just ONE of the latter is all I can handle.
Get it soon. They've shut down their locking pliers business.

Snap-on valve core torque tool. Not sure if it’s really a necessity but it was cheap and if I just add it to my collection and never use it then I’m fine. I bought it from a guy who bought some stuff from me. Pretty cool if anything and I think it will be a good teaching tool if anything because I could show a new tech the proper feel and spec for the valve core. 4 inch pounds. I haven’t seen anything like this before.
Spring compressor.....I added to my Amazon wish list figuring could be useful, thus inexpensive import but will probably work as often as I'll use it.
