I spend a bunch of time with professional engine mechanics, turbine mechanics, generator mechanics, etc. and many of them use at least some Harbor Freight tools. I don't think any of them would call them good so much as good enough, and if you lose a harbor freight ratchet to the bilge it's no big d...

We used to replace an axle on our 660 grizzly almost every year. The rear boots were always getting ripped. A whole new axle didn't cost much and was far quicker to change out than just the boot. ...

[quote]Yeah, there are commercial products specifically designed for the Garand. I have Federal and Hornady commercial M1 Garand ammo. I wouldn't run just any commercial 150gr load though.[/quote] Why? If the port pressure is within the range of what the rifle was designed for, why worry? [quo...
[quote]is there another way?[/quote] Google it up. You'll need to screw a pressure gauge into a port on the engine block and then crank it up. Should just require a simple cheap gauge and maybe a bushing. I'm not familiar with that engine so I don't know exactly what is needed, but Google will kn...

[quote]wouldn't run any new commercial ammo that isn't M1 Garand specific[/quote] Why not? I believe the CMP article lists some specific commercial loads that are safe. The 150gr stuff is going to use relatively fast powders and port pressure shouldn't be a problem with those. Either way, an ...

Planning to de-carpet and totally repaint my bay boat in the next year or two. I have a buddy who just repainted his trawler with something similar to awlgrip. It looks amazing and supposedly will stay looking that way far better than gelcoat. He said other than the extreme amount of sanding, it...
