I've had issues with a Napa brand wrench and greatNeck from the zone

it seems nearly a 1/4" (what MM is that?) of play in these 2 wrenches

I have similar tool sockets, but much larger for removing the o2 sensors.

there is a front O2 sensor i am needing to remove on the old Corolla to replace the flex pipe that broke in half!
but I do not have the proper one, the big wrench set i bot last year goes from 19mm to 21mm to 24mm so i am bummed out

You can likely pick up those sockets on ebay. they come in different sizes, and angles if you search long enough. Took me a while to find just what i needed.

Great concept. Hopefully yhe jack is removable to be used on other stands. If not then it would be very impractical.

https://www.eastwood.com/powerbuilt...kedid=601685638245&wickedsource=google&wv=3.1 I've seen them advertised for quite some time. Imo, its just as easy to use a good floor jack to lift up either end of the vehicle while sliding both jack stands in place.

Perhaps it would go a long ways for somebody in an apartment dwelling with a multi-floor walkup with no garage.
It would seem challenging to transport carry some big hunky floor jack into the building

I think most in that situation wouldn't be doing their own car repairs anyways.

I carry one of these in my Tacoma. I like the idea of a locking jackstand when changing a tire. That and the jacks they supply with vehicles today, if they do as some cars don't even have spares, are a joke.

Perhaps they might need to get their vehicle up high enough to spray undercoating underneath?

It does look like a much sturdier base than say a scissor jack that is in my old corollas trunk!
I've never had to use the bottle jack in my truck thank goodness
Also I need to find the maximum height for that jack and if you can safely raise a truck whilst on an incline with it for more headroom underneath in the back

Thats insane for a floor jack. I bought a vintage 3 ton floor jack at a tool sale for $50 that was missing a wheel that i was able to replace...been working perfect for years.

which one of these dremel tools would be best suited for tight hard-to-get-at area surface rust grinding/removal
and also to polish some weathered engine compartment parts
