Crappy Tire

The headlight restoration kits are on sale, Meguirs and 3M at $20 each.
Electric impact tool with 80 to 350 ft/lb digital torque read out $100.
Impact socket set with 38 pieces, Metric and SAE long and short sockets plus other bits and pieces. $80.
Universal socket set for hex, torx and spline. $70.
I got the Impact tool last week to get a seized wheel nut of a car, no luck, and the impact sockets today.
I have had the univesal sockets for a while.
A nice Stanley 141 piece black chrome socket set for $120.
I got the same set but it has 149 pieces for my son at $100 a while back.
I'm going to start a garage business along side the coffee shop, in joke.

I am still waiting for that garage/coffee drivethru/gtg at your place! Now you can work on our cars while sit in the waiting room and chat!

No stock, but I have a lot of their tools.
I was primarily mentioning the headlamp restoration kits. The other tools were a free advert for the Tire.
I only buy stuff there when its on sale and you can get good buys if you are willing to wait.
The Stanley socket set and the MotorMaster universal socket set are nice looking tools and with a lifetime warranty not too shabby.
I am a tool freak.

All these tools and I cannot undo one of the 300's lug nuts.

It's a known fault on these cars.

Re: Crappy Tire

Today, I bought the 1/2" drive 17" Flex ratchet (like a ratcheting breaker bar) for $15.99 and the 9 piece metric deep socket set for $11.99. Shocked to see our 0W40 oil up to $10.99 per litre!!!
