That would be my 1st choice........IF I had one!

This (flow bench) has proven to be useful, as well as a source of frustration.

I bought a used truck drum and rotor lathe about 2 years ago. Just had a need for it the other day. Bought some tooling and cut a few rotors recently. It's my new favorite tool for now.

X2. Except the wife part, she's no help in the garage.




I found that if you keep the shop a mess the wife won't go near it.

As far as favorite tool: If I didn't have a floorjack I wouldn't need most of the rest of my tools.

In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.

My wife likes being out there as much as me. She helps make the mess, she helps clean it up. Thats why my tool box drawers have labels. She'll know where it's at and where to put it back..

Yup it's a Kwik Way 850. Made for trucks, I bought it from the International truck dealer on Colerain ave. It has a pretty big shaft on it, I just turned some rotors off a F 450 truck last week. I need to find a old car rotor to see if I can do it. Got some to do? I'll do it if I can mount em.

Got some off my Ram. If they don't fit, can we make an adapter or a new arbor?

I knew you were gonna remind me of that...your right for sure. I can't help you live on the wrong side of town.

I'm pretty sure it will do pickup drums and rotors. Got lot's of mounting jigs. It's just that the shaft is about 2-3" OD Yea I think a new smaller shaft could be made. It can take a bigger shaft too acording to the manuel. It's real old I'm told by Kwik way. I talked to the same guys that built my flywheel grinder and they said it was made between 1973-78! It works great and very solid, just couldn't find anything online about it, I guess because it is so old. We used it a couple times when we first got it but the inserts were shot and the tool holder sucked. Got new of both after some research and it did a great job with less than .0005 runout.

over zealous wife that thinks she can do anything. When she was racing my car, she floated the valves. Had to work and she pulled the engine, transmission, pulled the heads, took them to the machine shop to get fixed, ordered gaskets and had a hot tub waiting with a pot roast waiting for me to get off work! No Kidding, my little angel, Michelle

My wife likes being out there as much as me. She helps make the mess, she helps clean it up. Thats why my tool box drawers have labels. She'll know where it's at and where to put it back..

Only.....my wife knows that the shop is "Man's Land".....I make the mess...I clean it!!!

Besides that...she counts beer cans.

My new favorite is a Skil electric ratchet with a lithium ion battery. Handiest tool I've ever owned and hold a charge for a long time. Especially when you're old enough to have some arthritis in your hands. My buddy tried mine and immediately went to Walmart to buy one!

My wife was is/was a "tomboy" since 8 years old. The only "real" problem we have is she doesn't like SlipKnot,Korn,Godsmack,Disturbed, ect as much and as loud as me and she prefers Coors Light over Bud Light so we haveta have both in the Fridge. Plus the Smirnoff party packs don't last as long as she expects them to when shes not there..



When you decide to quit, THAT is the moment when you would've succeeded..

My hoist, to old and to lazy to crawl under cars. Anybody that comes over and helps on my projects is probably even better. Then we can share the beer fridge. My wife thinks its the clocks. She says time ceases in my garage.

x2 for the hoist. I just got it in last Wednesday and it's already proven to be soooo useful... plus now I don't have to hear DVW complain that my car/truck is taking up space on his hoist while I have to wait for parts!
