need some new tool suggestions

[madmanmaigret]

those are nice, and not as scary, although do they slip and turn while in use? I can't imaging you can get much leverage when it is at a 90 degree, but slight angles when necessary would be nice.

they have a locking mechanism that will hold it at many angles from straight to ninety degrees.

I am after one of these?

Might find one in Lemington Spa?

Ahhh yes! strength adder, first aid kit, and general purpose lubricant all in one! :thumbup:

EDIT: whoops, didn't see it had to be spent at Sears. Do you have a trouble light?

do you mean like a mechanics light, with a hook and a bulb? if so yes and to add to that thought, I also have a little L.E.D. miners light (on a headband) that is a great addition to anyones tool box.

AWESOME!!!!!!!! But probably cheaper to get a full size fridge and tap a draught into the side. and you can keep a little leftover pizza in there too :thumbup:

Doc - Here's a short list:

Allen tips to fit a rachet.
Torque wrench
The Mity Vac
1/4 drive socket set, Sears has a nice one, great for small places
The Yamaha oil filter wrench
New ball end allen keys

Have fun shopping, I love Sears

they have motorcycle lifts, that might be an idea. I personally don't know if I would trust one, but apparently they are safe.

I would have to see what they lift by....might smash the pipes? anyone got any knowledge on this?

I picked up the Baxley Sport Chock about a month ago. It's really cool, I can ride straight into the garage, into the chock and hop off the bike, no kickstand, no nothing. It can also go into the bed of the truck for hauling.

The harbor freight table lifts are supposed to be good. Then there's the ones that are also sold as ATV lifts, which lift the bike under the engine.

Yeah, it'll smash the pipes if the bike doesn't fall off of it first. That type of lift is designed for older bikes that still have bottom frame rails. It's meant to lift by those.

Having used one, I have to comment that they are ****ing scary. You strap the bike to the lift, raise the lift, and then your 500 pound motorcycle is balanced on this tiny little lift (which is also on casters) while you are using a 2 foot breaker bar and all your strength to loosen an axle nut. So the whole contraption is rolling around and threatening to tip over if you look at it wrong.

No thank you. Give me a table lift or I'll just work on the floor.
