How long since the bike was out in the wind?!
I love you Scotty, but you don't want to be hanging on to a cheap 'guaranteed for life' wrench when it let's go. ?
I’m a tool fool!
You said don’t buy a Bluetooth OBD devices because they might sometimes screw up the car, however in one of your recent videos you mentioned even a Bluetooth one can do a job. It is that you changed your mind in 4 years or do you think we still should stay away from those bluetooth based ones?
Great video and information. I subscribed. I also want to point out that many parts stores like AutoZone rent out tools free of charge, save for a refundable deposit. So while I'd agree with the diyer buying the tools mentioned, if you need a specialty tool that you'll only use once in a blue moon like a ball joint press or something rent it for free.
The thing that kills hydraulic jacks is lack of use. The seals dry out and split if it sits too long. I have a harbor freight jack that is older than me and it has never had any maintenance except a new coat of paint. Still works and no leaks.
