$23.69 to my door for all!
New (to me) 0-35in-lbs dial and 10-50in-lbs clicker, and an SK ratchet set that I found at Lowe's for $15
Moot! Since I bought one. No, mine runs true enough.
I could see that. Let us know how you slow yours down.
The HD9 standard I bought in 12 when I lived in Illinois for my vette.Then I moved to Wis.and had it moved. Then my wife wanted to trade in her glk250 after recurring dpf and def problems and got a ram 1500 it was that combined with storage issues that I decided to get the tallest HD9 4 post so I could get 3 cars and a workshop instead of parking outside The new hd9 is ok for a 6500 lb truck and lets me obsess over the undersides as well as easy oil changes Here’s a couple of no prep everyday pics .old and new pumps

Is that a gun and a tuning fork I see? How much did this set you back?
$9.99 on late night TV! No ammo included, must have valid CCW.
A lot of specialized tools in the timing chain kit! Can you elaborate on their specific functions?
Sorry I’m a retired electrician but can do some car repairs just not the kind of magician/tuner you need to be for working on cars today, My vette guy told me to get it and return it if we don’t need it. 15 years and he’s never let me down.For example the new fuel pump in my vette had to be partially assembled in the tank.

They are not bad at all for the money, right?
I was going to Yankee engineer something, but when I seen this for $36.00, it was a no brainer!

Oh, I will, It's on the back burner right now, but I surely will, when I do!
I've not had time to monkey with it. Hall bafroom painter is done and back to her sewing room. Fixtures arrive today and rebuild will be complete and then we are off to HI.
Maybe a raining day in March I can mess with it. But it runs fine, chuck seems true for such a cheapie thing.
Hmm. Wouldn't it be in to HI and off to BYE?

I don't care about the torque sticks as much as about the cat!View attachment 201932
Bought these used. The torque sticks are like new. The NAPA 3/8” ratchet is Made in USA, and will go in a road box. Koda is my helper this afternoon.
I like the cat, he is so cute! i'd like to have a set of those torque sticks though
Assenmacher fuel disco set. I thought I had a solid assortment but was frustrated to find I couldn't get the supply line at the engine on an '11 Subie FB25 with any of mine.
These need a slightly longer finger on a 5/16" dia, and the Subaru specific 8028 is not connected by a hinge because you're squeezing in against a flange. There's an open area where I believe you can fit in one, rotate it around then fit the second.
Anyway with the lone 8028 running ~$30+, it made more sense to get the entire set used on ebay for $90 because I'm gaining a few others I also don't have.
Also you can totally hack the Subaru clips with picks ‐‐ or I found cotter pins easier -- but it's still clumsy and mildly frustrating......and I like tools
