Now this Arrangement is something that I use at work often.. has tons options.. but more and more I find I'm using it in the garage.. I know there are fancy impacts that are cordless but this is what I have.. everything from changing wheel screws to zipping off the valve covers. I will even install my lug nuts.. and finish the job with a torque wrench of course. the adapters are available in quarter inch 3/8 and 1/2 inch..

Can that third member mount hold a trans as well.. Yes. The one I actually use is an old Blue Point that's very similar to the OTC pictured. I have tooling to mount Torqueflites by the ears on the case, or they can be hung by the bellhousing. I'll hang 904s by the pan bolt holes as well. Glides I use pan bolt holes. GM 3 speeds have a different u-shaped hanger. I've had all kinds of stuff hung on it.
If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.

I have this stuff in 12v - drill, impact, 90* drill, saw. Everybody wants the big 18 or 20v stuff, but these tools are light and compact, and suit my needs better. Much handier for most of what I do. I have big stuff, but these are the ones I use 98% of the time.

Summit geared engine stand. For 219.00, I can rotate a 700# bb with one hand.
Engine does not droop at all on stand. Stand weighs close to 100# compared to the standard summit 4 leg stand that's about 40# and flimsy.
I bought 2 of those because I liked it so much

Ya I bought my first one back when you could use your pro shop account and a 10% off coupon. That ended shortly after guys were selling them on Yellowbullet. When I went to buy my second one Summit wanted an over size shipping charge so I bought my second one from Jegs.

I would say my AMEX card has been used more than ANY tool in any of my toolboxes have. How else do you get parts ordered after all Never use a debit card for obvious reasons if there is some issue and AMEX is great when there is one. Also never used a credit card, buying or funding a racecar on credit can be a very bad thing. Buy the parts pay the card and move on.

Without an air compressor, I would get little done. I know for a fact after a snake got in the pulleys last year and blew the capacitors... what a mess

Yeah, racing on credit is bad,bad,bad. I've seen guys roll in to the track with a nice rig and top shelf stuff and so broke they couldn't pay attention. Debit card ran as a credit card and tied to an account with enough to pay for the stuff, period. Or a card with cash back and the bill paid every month.
