Review of Pro Vision 636 - Small Diameter 36" Long Fiberoptic Borescope

I love my bore scope I am a everyday mechanic and use it to look inside engines. I have sent it down a few spark plug holes. it works great. you can submerge the cable into solvents because it uses fiber optics. so there is no electrical charge in the cable. I have submerged it in gasoline and motor oil. if the motor oil is black then it does not work so well. I have not used it in diesel fuel yet or thicker oils like 90 weight. I have also not sent it down an intake manifold yet to inspect valve seats. I am not sure if you could see it that well. it is very flexible but sometimes hard to control. it works best in pipes that have nice radius's. it has a replaceable light bulb in the handle. you can also focus the lens just like a camera. I love mine

Review of Lisle 41500 Pickle Fork Kit

After buying and returning the GRIP set, I ordered these.

What a difference.This set is night and day better than the other.

Handles screw in straight, casting marks are mostly ground away, and the shank for the air hammer actually fits like it's supposed to.

Well worth the money to get this kit over the other.Very satisfied.

As a side note, on the back of the package label, it indicates that the end of each handle (or hammer adapter) has a point at the end which drives the tool, rather than driving by the threads.This should prevent thread deformation under high impact.Very nice touch.

Review of Air Hose 360 Degree Swivel Connector - 3/8" NPT

These swivels rotate on two axes and allow your air hose to reach your air tool's air input port from any angle without binding. This means you won't have to fight the stiffness of the hose while trying to hold or position the air tool. Once you have these, you'll wonder how you got along without them. I've installed them on almost all of my air tools.

Make sure when you order these swivels that you order the correct size for your tool. They come in 1/4", 3/8" and 1/2" NPT. These sizes refer to the inside diameter of the fitting. The most common size on hardware store air tools is 1/4". The larger sizes are found on tools requiring substantial airflow to operate properly like large grinders.

Also make sure if you have a high-flow air tool that you aren't using the tiny quick-connect fittings that seem to be the default on most hardware store air tools. These fittings have only a 1/4" air passage and will restrict the airflow and performance of a high-flow tool. You should also be using a minimum of 3/8" ID hose (1/2" would be better) with the bigger tools if you want the performance you paid for. I use the 3/8" (P-Style) quick connectors on all my air tools and I use 1/2" hoses for most applications.

Note that there are knock-offs of these connectors made by Dyna-Flo and some no-name manufacturers. While Dyna is a quality manufacturer of air tools, their swivel connectors are made of plastic and won't last as long as the Milton brand which are machined from billet aluminum. The others fail and start leaking at the seals in even light-duty use. I'm replacing them all with Milton brand when they fail. Buy the Milton's and you'll be happier in the long run.

Review of Great Neck 80125 Cordless Drill Tool

This item does what an 18v cordless drill is supposed to do.Nice feel. Chuck seems to be well constructed.NOT variable speed. Power is adequate (I used it to run 2" decking screws into treated lumber and it was lugging down a bit, but drove them in as demanded).Typical of Great Neck tools, this one seems well built and designed and comes at a very reasonable price.Certainly adequate for the home mechanic/repairman.My only beef is that, currently, it seems to be impossible to locate a replacement/backup battery pack.On the other hand, most 18v battery packs cost at least as much as this whole drill kit, so I suppose one could just buy a whole extra kit (not a bad idea).I don't think you'll be disappointed.

Review of Astro Pneumatic 5 Pc Fastener & Molding Remover Set

Out of all 5 tools, the plastic pry tool for removing dash panels is probably the only use I can get use out of.All the ones used to remove interior clips are worthless.They bend when you apply any force to remove the clips & the clips don't come out.I need to buy a metal pry tool instead.I'm glad it was only $10 I wasted and it's not worth the cost or trouble of returning.

Review of Moroso 62191 Blue Steel Degree Wheel

First off, this is the largest wheel I could find, and was much cheaper than the closest other one, which was an open-face design. It's huge size will give you 1/4 degree accuracy. I bought a really nice adjustable pointer to go with it off Ebay, and that worked out great as well. No more worrying about whether or not I bumped the coat hanger pointer.

The only down side is that there are only 2 crank sockets available from Moroso... small and big block chevy. Also, they are more pricey.

I bought a comp cams SBC socket, which fit my Ford modular V8 perfect, and was cheaper. It isn't exactly the perfect size, but it is very very close. Just be a little tiny bit careful to try and center the wheel on the comp cams socket, lest you end up out of round.

The sheer size of this wheel provides much better accuracy. But I doubt you would be able to use it under the hood of very many cars. I used it on an engine stand, and loved it. It comes with several adapters too, for using it without the crank socket. Haven't tried them.
