Something about an old vise... Beautiful. I would never let it go. And use it with joy!

Is that a blockhead? Those are fairly well regarded

Oh how it pains me to see a box sitting on a diesel car’s paint…

The picture doesn't show all the animal scratches on that trunk lid from before it was garaged. If my phone had a decent camera, you could see it looks like Wolverine had a go at that lid.

I don’t know??!?

Thats really the only downfall, I have 3 of em and have programmed countless modules with them. Use it in diag as a regular breakout box as well. We also use them in our eeprom and advanced programming classes with great success. One addition I would make is aeswave sells a cable for them that has banana jacks on the end to work with the u-test kit terminals for more versatility than the godiag cable.

Thanks Tim. Ordered 8 of them from AESwave.

Nope, the blockheads were 100% block body. Shows what I know

For taps that aren't center-drilled these should be. HF used to sell a set that looks identical (I have a couple sets) but I can't find them on their web page any longer. They're cheap but perfectly functional for hand tapping.
