I didn’t realize CAT tools are same as Snap on. Next time I have to go to my CAT dealer for boat engine parts I’ll have to see what they have. I looked at some stuff online after your post. Sounds like the CAT tools are like 75% less than same Snap on.

Agree on Ebay and vintage stuff. I have some S-K. They are still in business and will warranty any S-K tools. I also have a lot of older Craftsman USA stuff.

I was planning to buy one of their boxes with tools for my new trailer. I looked at them at the SSSS and honestly wasn't impressed. The boxes are pretty flimsy and the tools looked no better than other basic stuff. I opted for a HF box and some tools for far less money and the stuff seems as...

What line of tools are folks using these days? I'm talking mostly hand tools here. I used to buy mainly Snap On, Mac, Matco and similar if I could find decent deals. I've recently bought some HF Icon and been happy with it thus far. I've bought a few things in SunEx that have been good too. I...

What type of material is the tank? Steel or Aluminum? Should be easy enough to weld it around the base of the filler neck. Although JB Weld would likely hold for quite some time if you get it clean first. Fill and rinse the tank several times if you are going to weld it. And I would fill it with...

There was just a thread yesterday asking about BFD on a FB page. The owner of BFD, Stephen posted to that thread. He said he had to close shop and shut down. But he also mentioned he plans to reopen in another location with a partner that is an existing shop/builder. Will be interesting to see...

We rent these and larger ones at work regularly. We rent from CAT and call them CAT in a box gens

Very nice. Thanks for info. Given the front engine, what’s behind those panels in the rear? I’m surprised the azz end still looks fat 😀😀

What this does for you that a simple AirTag does not? I'm also looking at options for tracking certain toys.

Did not know this. My new car will have a Switch Pro. Sounds similar to our wakeboard boat which has the same type of code capability.

When is the last time you replaced the fuel filter?

I'm curious what folks do, if anything, about securing your sand cars at the dunes? I'm not necessarily talking about at camp but when you go to the Beach Store or Vendor's Row, Duner's Diner, etc. I was watching a YouTube Vid this morning of a guy videoing nice cars parked in front of the...

and what size is that wire you're vice gripping in? Looks like maybe #10? Which is only good for 30 amp max. Might as well violate every code and exceed all limits while you're at it ;):)

Russ sold BFD to one of the guys that worked there about 5 years ago I think. He tried to make a go of it and looked to be doing OK for a few years. Latest I've heard from people that tried to do business there in the last year or so was the guy pretty much went MIA. I sold a BFD to a guy last...

Brian was the lead Fab at Alumicraft for a long time. He opened Podium after AC changed hands. I vetted him for a new car. He has a nice design but hadn't built one yet when I talked to him in February. Super nice guy and his work looks great. I really wanted to build with him but couldn't get...

Easy but dangerous as F--K! What happens if one of those vice grips comes off and now you have a live cable floating around in there. Not to mention you have to leave the box open. If you're gonna do that at least throw a spare breaker on the bus and hook your bare wires to that and backfeed...

Yep, I get it. If you like the portable, I would do one of the big Predator Inverter gens from HF like others have suggested.

Can't speak to Cali permit issues but these type of gens don't have to be super expensive if you shop around. I have an off-grid second house. I found an industrial rated Generac 15kw LPG/NG gen on Ebay. A contractor that did work for a clean room aquired it in a relocation. It only had 105 hrs...

I hope this gen works out for you. Sadly, B&S, like many other names known for quality, just aren't what they used to be. B&S was bought in 2020 by a PE firm and this usually does not mean good things for the consumer.

Where are you located? How much do you want for it?
