Any recommendations for cheap(ish) OBD II readers that are compatible with Torque? I saw a BAFX recommended earlier in the thread but they won't ship to Australia.

Well I just spent $419 on power tools to screw $30 worth of legs onto a $free door to make a desk. Sensible financial decisions!! picked up this Milwaukee 12v combo here. Now I need to find more things to drill holes in! https://sydneytools.com.au/milwaukee-m12cpp2a-421c-12v-2-0ah-4-0ah-fuel-li-ion-cordless-2pce-combo-kit

Uthor posted:I need a new light to keep in my car for emergencies (I'm talking about a flood light to help with changing a tire, not a tactical light that would help me survive in the wilderness). I like the one I have, but the battery is less than great and it's dead when I go to use it if I don't charge it every few months. I have an Milwaukee M12 "area light" that came as a redemption bonus with my M12 impact/drill combo. It is loving amazing. I took it camping with me and on the 4a/h battery it lasted a week. My electrician buddy keeps trying to steal it because it's better than any of the stuff he has

Anyone want to talk me out of this Stanley socket set? Seems like a reasonable deal http://www.supercheapauto.com.au/Product/Stanley-Fatmax-1411-4-3-8-Drive-Socket-Set/399556?menuFrom=5041613

I went and gave what Stanley tools SCA had on display a good shake in the case. Seemed "OK". Tellingly the one I linked earlier was a "FATMAX" branded version. There were no "FATMAX" branded sockets in store. I also bought a cheap SCA branded hook and pick set because I needed one. Bad move. Worst quality I've ever seen. I'm sure they'll remove a couple of o rings and washers but yeah, garbage.

savesthedayrocks posted:I picked up the Fuel M12 kit recently, well worth it. Ended up with 4 total batteries, hard case, drill, and driver for $229. Not sure if you are on reddit, but there’s a guy on the tool forum that cuts great deals. That's just madness compared to what we pay in Oz. I've been really happy with my M12 kit despite paying almost twice as much and only getting 2 batteries

AvE did a tear down on some M18 knock-offs, he rated them pretty highly. Enough so that an electrician friend of mine snagged a couple to use at work. He ended up tearing them down and doubling up some of the wiring as it was not handling the current well. No problems after that.

I just got an Ozito cordless glue gun to to try and fix some trim on the e36 and goddamn that thing is a piece of poo poo. I mean the Ozito. Ok and the e36 interior too. I also had to buy a couple of screwdrivers to swap in some new trim pieces and assemble some ikea bullshit. I took the Ozito as a lesson and got some Wiha drivers rather than chinesium grade bullshit. I managed to justify the expense to the girlfriend by making an analogy to using good, sharp knives for kitchen prep vs using blunt ones. She was totally cool with it after that  Jokes on me though, turns out that I ordered slightly the wrong part. Who knew that there would be multiple versions of the clip that holds the sun visor. She didn’t need those courtesy lights anyways…

cakesmith handyman posted:New hotness  Wera Buddy The Tool Check+ has come in super handy so far for tightening up hard to reach hose clamps in the engine bay and getting in other nooks and crannies. The tiny little ratchet is TINY and feels really good. I'm sure there are cheaper options but my feeling is that when you're stuck in a tight space you want something that just works Larrymer posted:I posted this in the other tools thread, but it seems more relevant than ever now. Recommend me a pump/siphon/whatever to drain gas from my snowblower and mower and transfer gear oil to transmissions. I've used those cheap lovely red transfer pumps that always leak and outright fail after a year or two for too long and want something better. I'm also in the market for one of these. I need to pump some ATF into a transmission with I was looking at something like this

cakesmith handyman posted:I haven't got it yet but the tiny ratchet does feel like a quality piece of kit. Any reason you didn't choose the colour coded keys? For whatever reason they were twice the price. I couldn’t see any major difference other than the colour coding so I stuck with the standard ones.

blindjoe posted:Whats a good price for a Milwaukee M12 drill, or where do you look for deals? If you already have Milwaukee m18 the nice thing about sticking with them is the m18 charger also does m12. It’s a small thing but that’s nice. I certainly have no complaints about my m12 brushless drill/driver combo. I’m looking to see if the Ryobi line trimmer goes on sale anytime soon. I’d prefer to move into Milwaukee 18v stuff but there aren’t many places in Aussie that carry m18 gardening tools and it’s looking like sticking with red is going to set me back more than twice what I’d pay for the Ryobi.

I have a metric one with the mini ratchet etc. I think it's great. Useful on some real tight spots around the engine bay. https://www.bunnings.com.au/wera-39-piece-tool-check-plus-combination-kit_p6060222
