Automotive Repair Reviews

I purchased the Preval Spray gun to paint some flush mount speakers to match the walls in a house that I am remodeling. It was easy to use, and the paint coverage is excellent. Just be sure to follow the recomendations for thinning the paint.

This is not going to replace a compressor and spray gun but it does a pretty fine job for what it is. Preval sprayers are infinitely better than can spray paint and varnish. With Preval you can actually put a mirror finish on metal, wood, or fiberglass. I once refinished a complete 1960 era birch wood kitchen, spraying high gloss polyurethane and did a fantastic job- no drips or sags.I used more than a dozen of the power units, but they're only $3. I've done spot repairs and small spot paint blending on my boat,very successfully. But I never did a car.. to big of a single spray. Preval will spray anything, just thin it down as directed on the directions, fill the bottle, screw the power unit on top and spray away. There's plenty of propellant in a power unit and they clean up real easy with a spare bottle of thinner that you spray thru for cleaning. I believe 1 power unit allowed me to get almost 2 coats of varnish on both sides of a door. Preval provides a reasonably nice finish for almost no investment. You'll be surprised with the product. Highly recommended.

No other hand cleaner out there comes close to this. Leaves no smell on your hands either. Only problem is I can't get it in the store.

As a diesel mechanic I can tell you unequivically that I have never found a better cleaner than Kresto Select. The crushed walnut hulls scruff awesome try it and you'll see.

DON'T BUY THIS, DON'T BUY THIS, JUST BUY A MEXICAN ON EBAY FOR 40 DOLLARS AND THEY CAN BUILD YOU ONE IN LIKE 23 HOURS BUT MAKE SURE YOU DON'T FEED THEM!

THIS THING IS SO GREAT THAT IT EVEN SCORES MORE TOUCHDOWNS THAN THE 49ERS! ALEX SMITH LOOKS LIKE A LAKE WITHOUT BOATS! BUY THIS, BUY THIS, BUY THIS, AND YOU'LL HAVE GOOD LUCK FOR ALL THOSE DAYS AND LETTERS.

I really like this small led flashlight. It feels good in ones hand and is easier to turn on than most led lights. I have several different led lights and I like this one the best. The only down side is that it won't stay on by itself.

I use this drill for jewelry making and am thrilled with it. I don't use the Dremel bits, as they don't suit my needs, but Dremel is an old company and they stand behind their product. Their bits are fine for standard drilling. Check around for the best price.

Re Oxygen Sensor Wrench Set #27110
This has got to be one of the best specialty tool deals I've ever seen. At $15.00, even with shipping added, you can't lose. Consider: Even if you drive your vehicle "until the wheels fall off," you will probably not change the O2 sensor more than once or twice. The first time you do--the first time you venture to try doing it yourself--you are almost sure to find: that a mere 22mm open-end wrench just can't be fit in over the sensor's wrench flats (say, if your sensor intalls in the crossover); and that a box wrench will not fit over the connector even if it is the right size; or that when you go looking for a 22mm split-type box wrench that will slip over the wires, finding that wrench in the 22mm size is difficult to impossible. Then, you are faced with finding the specific tool that will work with your particular vehicle; and paying $35 or more (even $100 or more) for that single application tool. But what if you change vehicles?...then there's a good chance your pricey tool will no longer be suited. With the #27110 set, however, you are almost certain to have universality that will adapt to just about any application; those few owners who might not would, more likely than not, be the ones who would not do the work themselves anyway. Now what are the features that make this a superlative value? Consider adaptability. Start with the one thing that could be seen as a drawback: that you will have to provide your own solid, sliding, or ratchet-type socket wrench handle--but this drawback is really an advantage!! That's right-- Using your own wrench handle, extensions, wobble extensions, ujoints, etc.,...your ability to fit the tool despite any restriction is limited only by the standard socket wrench accessories you have on hand, or can readily purchase.

How about drive size and shape? You're covered there, too: the fittings will accept both 3/8" and 1/2" socket drives; and the 1/2"-drive socket will accept the wrench handle's drive in any one of eight orientations--in case your 1/2" wrench handle is a fixed rather than ratchet-ing type.

The kit comes with one, chrome plated, 3/8"-drive deep socket which is slotted on the side to slip over the sensor wires--looks much like a spark plug wrench. If that doesn't suit (say, if your sensor is too long to prevent pinching of the sensor wires sticking out through the slot) you still have a choice between two "crow's foot" type sockets: the 3/8"-drive and/or the 1/2"-drive. On each of these, the slot (for the sensor wire harness) extends the entire length of the socket; so the socket can be slipped over the wire--and the wire cannot be pinched--no matter what. Purchased individually (if you could find them), any one of the set's sockets, even at wholesale, would likely cost as much as or more than other, single purpose tools (even at retail)...so even if you only use one socket from the kit, you're still ahead. Figure a minimum of $10 to $15 (wholesale) for each of the sockets; then add, say, $8 for the case...and you have a tool kit that could be expected to retail for at least $40, probably much more. Now consider what three separate, single purpose wrenches would cost at $35-$75 each. So whether it's brand new or used, this is a tool deal you're not likely to beat. In effect, you are getting the large-volume purchasing power (and control of price) normally only available to the big outlets--the Walmarts, Home Depots, Auto Zones and such--but you only have to purchase one item. It's also a deal in which buying your own will not cost you much more, if any, than receiving a loaner for "free"--especially when you figure in the cost of picking up and returning a loaner.

Conclusion: Highly recommended.
