Klein welding helmet.

Just ordered a Actron CP9190 Scanner set. $172. Pretty big gamble for if my truck even supports live data. At least it does work on OBD2 and GM OBD1 too. I hope this works out. Ebay seller has good reviews but says no returns...

Spring loaded, very thin/fine needle nose pliers

Harbor freight on sale. I had to squeeze them back-and-forth about 30 times with some 3-in-1 oil before they started to spring back consistently, but I’m loving them, I’ve already used them a lot.

I think Actron is no longer in business, so no parts or help...

Yeah, but think about everybody else when you’re laying on the ground underneath something…

Im on ladders all day long even better.

& I'll have you know THEY are the ones who are gonna be thinking about me

I bought 2 sets of the 3 pack step drill bits, $6ea. They come in so handy. I've actually used them to enlarge the holes in the spring pack in my race truck. At the time I didn't know that spring steel is very hard to drill. Iirc I used 3 bits in total for that. More magnetic plates, $2.88 each. And found a box of aluminum rivets I bought at a scratch and dent sale. So that's 1,200 rivets total for $5. And... Some welding blankets for $12 ea.

On the fifth kill, you become an Ace.

They're also great for drilling Plexiglas, without cracking it like a regular fluted bit is so prone to do.

No kink shaming now....

Wow... my mind didn't go there.

Today I was back at P. A. And it happened to be a scratch and dent sale.... No, I didn't know before going. So I did the original shopping that I went for. Came to C$127.00. The orange paint is real close to my Pinto color. I'll use it as temporary rust coverage until I'm set up for bodywork.

And then I went outside for the scratch and dent. I found a partial roll of what looks like 14g aluminum wire for $10. And then talked them down to $6 per box of welding rod. 10 of the 6011 and one each of the other totalling 13 boxes.

I guess this counts as a tool. My oil drain pan had a crack on the side that I didn't notice, so my last oil change was quite messy out in the driveway.

So, I picked up one of these.
