    Snap-On tools are for fools

    At first glance it does look nuts , but having worked in dealerships for a dozen years , there is some sense . But as I kept looking I think obsessed is the word . I've seen collections of mechanics that have died , which is the reason most collections get sold , sell for less than 10% of their...

    To AV or not to AV, that is the question...

    We may have only two parties , but the vote gets split the same as it does for the kitties . When one party doesn't stand united , they will fall , unless the rules can be changed to their favor . Then when in power they are still divided , and they fail to represent anyones interest . Best...

    I would look for loose grounds . Use an ohm meter to check across all connections , should see 0 to .3 reading across them . Check for corrosion at all grounds , and use no-ox , or other anti-oxidation grease at all exposed connections . You can also use your meter set on volts , and test for...

I found this stuff called 'sea salt' , what a great idea , using...
