5 Automotive Tools Every Auto Owner Needs
January 29, 2008
Automobiles are sizeable investments. As a car becomes older, its maintenance becomes increasingly important. There are many tools that every auto owner should have. Auto shops can sometimes charge exurbanite amounts for a simple fix that could have been done at home for much cheaper. Having the proper tools and knowledge will allow any auto owner to save money, learn more about their automobile, and maintain their car.
1. Every auto owner should have a jack and jack stands. When working on a car, more often than not, the car must be elevated. Simple procedures like rotating tires can be done at home with the help of a Jack. Additionally, all car owners should have a jack in their car with them wherever they go. In the unfortunate event of a flat tire, having a jack and a spare tire can lead to a simple tire replacement. In a garage, having a powerful jack and strong jack stands makes it possible for an auto owner to reach every point underneath the car and thus solve problems more efficiently.
2. One of the most important car maintenance practices is the oil change. To maintain an automobile, the oil should be changed once every 3,000 miles. Quintessential to a successful oil change is having an Oil Wrench that takes the oil filter off and allows the oil to be changed expediently. Without an oil wrench, an auto owner may be forced to take their car to an auto shop and overpay for a simple oil change.
3. Often when dealing with parts of the engine, or the hard-to-reach spots under the hood, proper tools are required. A 3/8-inch Socket Set can allow an automobile owner to loosen and subsequently tighten a wide variety of bolts. Different extensions allow the auto owner to obtain the best angles for torque and therefore make auto jobs quite a bit easier.
4. When changing oil, having a funnel, some rags, and a bucket is very helpful. Once again, the oil change is one of the most important maintenances for a car, and it can be done easily by anyone. However, many people do not have the proper tools or knowledge for a successful oil change. Having a funnel can also be useful when refilling any other fluids in one’s car. The funnel serves to make sure that fluids do not get over filled, which can lead to significant problems.
5. Finally, every auto owner should have a pair of solid vice grips. Some times a part will just not come loose. Other times, a car part may not seem to be tight enough despite one’s best efforts. Vice grips can hold a wide variety of car parts and allow the user to obtain more leverage for either tightening or loosening a part. When encountering a part that will simply not come loose, many auto owners will give up and take their car to a shop. Having vice grips can help one to avoid this problem.
Unfortunately, there is no car in existence that doesn’t require constant maintenance. However, with the right tools, anyone can fix minor problems and maintain his or her automobile without the assistance of an auto mechanic. The right tools can lead to a longer last vehicle, and large cost savings.

Automotive Tools for the Road Warrior
January 29, 2008
In today’s highly mobile world, many spend countless hours and miles traveling in their automobiles for work and vacation. Modern cars are also far more reliable than the cars of 30 years ago. We have begun to take them for granted. We expect them to just work day in day. However, the time to learn the lessons of basic car repair is not on a deserted highway at 2 am on the way up to the ski slopes! Automobiles still breakdown, have flat tires and batteries run out of juice. Most people think that you have to be a space shuttle engineer to even open the hood of a 21st century car. While it is true that computer technology has drastically changed the way engines and cars operate, there are still some basic car repairs that you can perform in a pinch. You must carry some basic automotive tools with you at all times in order to carry them out.
A basic kit with automotive tools doesn’t have to break the bank or require you tow a trailer full of tools. You can go as basic as you want and add more tools as your needs change. The first thing to do is put together a list of automotive tools that you will probably need. (I have included one in this article.) You will be surprised to find that you own many of them already. The real chore is to get them together in one place and carry them with you. You will also need something to carry them in. First see if you have an old duffle bag stuffed in a closet. If not you can probably get one cheap at an Army surplus store. Now it is time to look at our automotive tool list and start collecting them.
Automotive tools for your kit should include the following: set of various screwdrivers (both flat head and Phillips), crescent wrench, pliers, torque wrench, pocket knife, jumper cables, battery terminal brush, spare fuses, 1 quart of oil, duct tape, flashlight, gloves, medical kit, road flares, reflective vest, blanket and funnel. Make sure your car jack and tire iron are in their proper place in your car’s trunk. After you have gathered these items and put them in your old duffle bag, store it in your truck so its there when you need it. These items can prove to be invaluable to help you fix a minor problem and be on your way.

Auto Detailing Tools of the Trade MYTEE Products
January 29, 2008
In the auto detailing business there are many companies that serve the industry with equipment. One company, which seems to be omni-present it MYTEE Products, Inc. If you are in the industry you know them as the company, which makes carpet extractors and steam cleaners, which are used in the auto detailing shops across America. Our company uses them and I have seen these units in competitors detail shops and on mobile detailing rigs in many of the states I have traveled to.
Our company, The Detail Guys, have been using MYTEE Products for over a decade. So we thought we ought to visit the MYTEE Manufacturing Corporate Offices in San Diego, CA. We met with Mr. Matt Sawqed, manufacturing consultant for the company. We discussed many of MYTEE’s new innovations, some of which are still secret to the Industry. We offered to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement, but after ten years of doing business, that was not necessary since what is good for MYTEE is good for The Detail Guys. You will be glad to know that they are in fact working on some wonderful new tools for the industry.
We discussed with Matt our satisfaction with their products and changes we needed to continue our relationship. Matt discussed how these new innovations and engineering using the latest and greatest technologies would solve nearly all of our desires and certainly all of our real needs. Matt assured us after a tour of their new product lines, how their products would perform better, with less energy, smaller size and better performance. Only MYTEE is addressing these issues and revising it’s entire product line to meet the needs of our detailing industry.
Our needs are that of size for small space requirements as we adapt our units to fit on industrial carts for parking structures and to take up less space for more water capacity. Also these new units will be able to run with less than 12-15 Amps. Which is a major concern due to the portable generators on the trucks. Our needs for quick heating water are easily met by MYTEE who has risen to nearly every single challenge we could through at them. It appears that their dealer network is also expanding and able to match our needs in all the states we are now servicing as well as those in remote regions and rural areas that we may never serve.
One of the major services that MYTEE makes products for is the Carpet Steam Cleaning and Carpet Extraction for interior detailing. As many of you know it is very important to have adjustable machines to put out very little water when cleaning the interior of corporate jets. Also needed is the use of special chemicals for older and antique cars with high values whether it be intrinsic or appraised. We are happy to report also that MYTEE has offered to change their injection molding process to produce customized YELLOW molded units, these are our company colors, but also great colors for any auto detailing companies for safety reasons.
If you are needing an additional steam cleaner or carpet extractor you will want to compare the MYTEE units before purchasing, think on this.

Basic Automotive Tools Every Car Owner Should Have On Hand
January 29, 2008
Even if you don’t consider yourself very handy with tools, if you are going to drive an automobile it is good to keep a set of basic tools for small, easy repairs. After all, it doesn’t make sense to have to call your service garage just to change a flat tire, and doing the change yourself beats being stranded for two hours while you wait for help.
In order to change your tires, you will need a jack for lifting your car (forget the one that came with your car – hydraulic jacks are best) and a lug wrench for getting the tires off and securing them again. Other special wrenches you will need are a spark-plug wrench and an oil-filter wrench. You will also need a set of adjustable wrenches and a socket set for loosening and tightening various nuts and bolts. As you may have to unscrew things from your car’s frame, you will want a set of screwdrivers.
For checking and adjusting your fluid levels, you will need funnels, hand degreaser, rags or paper towels and rubber gloves (depending on how much dirt you want on you from your engine). Many people actually choose not to cover their hands when they work because it is easier to feel what you’re and also because it looks silly. There is pride in having dirty hands.
You will need jumper cables for boosting your car, a continuity tester for testing electrical circuits, pliers for loosening and tightening things you can’t loosen and tighten with your wrenches, a stiff, non-wire brush for cleaning battery contacts, a utility knife for cutting rubber belts and tubes and a tire pressure gauge for checking the air pressure in your tires. For knocking at stuck parts, use a rubber mallet and not your best wrench. It is best not to abuse your tools, although many people do.
You should be able to assemble a good basic tool set for under $300. That may sound like a lot of money, but if you get into the habit of calling someone every time you have a flat tire or need to change a hose, then you will wind up spending a lot more money in the end.
Many of these tools have quite a price range. You can pick up a set of adjustable wrenches, for instance, for anywhere from $10 to $40. The continuity tester has an even wider range, running from $3 all the way up to $40. You can pick up a tire pressure gauge for $5 up to $35, and a utility knife runs from $3 to however much you want to pay for this tool.
Many small repairs and maintenance tasks you can do for yourself will help you keep your car in tip-top shape for less money, so having a basic tool set is a great investment. In addition, you will also be a more confident driver if you learn about how to repair your car.

Jewelry Making Tools
January 29, 2008
Jewelry makers like any other craftsman needs tools to do their job. If you are new to jewelry making, it is not necessary to start with a large amount of tools. You do need a few to start off with, and then add more as you go. This will also allow you time to research and try a few different types of jewelry before putting a large sum of money in to tools that you really do not need.
A few tools to add to your beginning collection as you start off are, wire cutters, flat or bent- nosed pliers, round nosed pliers, jewelers’ files, crimping pliers, beading awl, nylon-nosed pliers, polishing cloth, pencil, ruler, and jewelry glue. You probably could hold off on getting the beading awl. You also might want to add a few dowels of different dimensions to your toolbox also.
Wire cutters are essential to your collection. The best type to purchase, are the flushed-cut wire cutters. This type will allow you to make an even cut. This makes a much nicer finished project.
The flat or bent-nosed pliers are selected solely on your personal preference. Both types of tools do the same function. It do not really matter which piece you choose to use, but the important part is to remember to choose a piece that has a smooth surface to work with. Do not get a type that has ridges or a textured surface. Another name you might hear the flat-nosed pliers referred to as the chain-nosed pliers. They are one in the same.
Round-nosed pliers play an important part in jewelry design. They are used to make hoops, loops, and wraps for attaching beads and making designs in the wire. Solely jewelry makers use this tool. They are sold at most craft stores and jewelry suppliers.
Jeweler’s files are use to smooth your wire ends. This will make your finished product look nicer. They typically are sold in sets of 10 to 12.
Crimping pliers are used to hold your wire to the clasps of your jewelry piece. It is very important to use this tool properly. If you use it incorrectly, you more than likely will not tighten the crimp and this will allow slippage of the wire. The ends will come loose and the beads will slide off. Another concern when using this tool is over working the crimp. If you squeeze and pinch it too much, the crimp will become brittle and fall apart. This also will allow the wire to slip.
The proper way to use this tool is to flatten the crimp in ridge that is close to the handle part of the tool. Once you have done this, make a ¼ turn and squeeze the crimp in the ridge closer to the front of the mouth. This should fold the crimp in half making a nice finish. Some jewelers choose to use flat-nosed pliers and just flatten the crimp. Using the crimping tool will make a more professional crimp and will be a nicer finish.
Another jewelry technique uses knots to the beads in to place. The tool used in this process is a beading awl. It has a long pointed piece of metal and a wooden handle. This tool allows you to make secure knots against each bead. Nylon-nosed pliers are used to flatten wire without making marks on the metal. Flat-nosed pliers can be used instead, but cover the metal with a cloth to avoid damage to the wire. This tool is one that can be added later as you build your business.
If you are going to be working with wire to make jewelry, a polishing cloth is a must. It may not be noticeable, however the wire is dirty and often tarnished. The wire needs to be cleaned prior to beginning your design work.
To aid in your design process, it is important to either have a dowel or a pencil to use for coiling and circular designs. These can be purchased in different dimension if you are making your own jump rings. This will allow you to make different sizes.
A measuring tool is necessary too. It is your preference if you use a ruler, yard stick, or a tape measure. My preference is a tape measure. It is easier to keep in smaller spaces.
Jeweler’s glue is another product that can be added later. It really depends on the type of jewelry you are making. Many styles do not require glue. Some jewelry makers will add a touch of glue to their beading wire when they string bracelets or necklaces. This helps to make a stronger hold and eliminates breakage. The glue is also used on nylon knots if you are using this type of material.
Starting out is so much fun. There are many varieties of jewelry to make. Be open-minded and try the different types to find your niche. It may take while, but do not be afraid to jump in and learn. It has taken me over two years to determine the material I like to work with the best. The main thing is to relax and have fun!
Happy New Year!

Box Cutters - They’re Not Just For Boxes Anymore
January 29, 2008
Indeed, these versatile instruments, beloved of mail room supervisors, office managers, and shipping and receiving workers, are so broadly useful that some prefer the more general names “utility knife,” “safety knife,” or at least “package opener.” Given the strides manufacturers have made in safety, perhaps “safety knife” makes the most sense. Many of these little blades now feature in-handle blade storage, easy blade change out, ergonomic handles, and automatically-retracting blades, among other safety features. These innovations make safety knives useful for anyone who regularly deals with packaging - which is most of us. Safety knives have moved from the stockroom to the living room.
Of course they’re useful for anyone who receives packages in the mail. (If you made a purchase in the last year online, you should consider having one on hand.) No set of moving supplies is complete without a safety knife. But here are some household uses you may not have thought of:
- Clamshell packaging. Everyone who shops knows the frustration that comes from trying to open some of today’s “safety” packaging. Pliers, scissors, and cooking knives are all enlisted to rescue that light bulb from that plastic package - with often-painful results. Why not have a knife on hand that’s designed to crack the case” quickly and painlessly?
- Food bags. From the thick plastic wrap that encloses six-packs of bottled water to the tortilla-chip bag you can’t open without sending flying chips everywhere, we all have to deal with food packaging. Safety knives make life in the kitchen easier. They’re designed to open it up without spilling it out.
- Fertilizer bags. These gardeners’ favorites are hard to open, and with good reason - you don’t want that stuff on the floor of your hardware store. With one in your home tool belt or gardening kit, you’ll never have to worry about it.
- Pet food bags. Those tough, giant bags will be a lot easier to manage with a safety knife. Rather than tearing them open and making it easier for your pet to sneak a between-meal snack, a safety knife will make a nice, thin clean cut. Now if only it helped you carry the stuff from the supermarket to your car!
- Gift wrap. Every family has at least one - that aunt or uncle who wraps packages so securely (perhaps for long-distance travel or the mail, or perhaps from sheer perversity) that no one can open it. They will make Christmas morning a lot less frustrating.
- Assemble-it-yourself furniture packaging. From the stapled-together boxes to those plastic straps that hold boards in place, that new bookcase you bought will be as hard to get out of the package as it is to assemble. They can really save time - the time you need for quick assembly.
- Yarn/knitting. Sewing scissors aren’t forever. If you’re a serious knitter, why not spare your hand muscles the frustration, and buy a safety knife?
- Windows. Purchasing new windows? Make sure you’ve got one to help you get them out of the covering.
- Clothing tags.
- Fishing wire.
- Gardening.
- Flower shops.
You get the idea!
Gardeners, shoppers, handymen and handy women, pet owners, eBayers, and more - everyone should have a safety knife (or three) in the house. They’re perfect for the tool shed, garage, kitchen, or home office, for your garden-supplies box or your knitting bag.
SafeCutters distributes the Klever Kutter and Klever Koncept, two of the safest utility knives available. Klever Kutter virtually eliminates the risk of workplace injuries, while the permanently shielded blade protects packaged products. It has been approved by the Department of Homeland Security for safe air transport.

Powder Actuated Tool Basics
January 29, 2008
You may know them as a stud gun, a Hilti or a Ramset. Powder actuated tools are actually a form of a gun, using gun powder to drive nails into concrete and steel. Many think of these tools for fastening 2 x 4 material to concrete, perhaps in finishing off your basement, but they have a very broad use in all facets of the building trades.
Uses in the trades
Framers use them to shoot lumber and metal studs to concrete and steel. Foundation contractors and waterproofing contractors shoot foam on to foundations. Electricians use the tools to fasten junction boxes, emt straps and to suspend light fixtures. Many mechanical contractors use a special gun that will shoot a 3/8″ threaded stud into concrete.
Fastening to concrete
Shooting a fastener in to concrete is the fastest way to mount anything to concrete or steel, just load the pin, pull the trigger and your done. There are many different types and sizes of fasteners to choose from depending on what you are mounting.
When fastening into concrete, you can expect the pin to penetrate the concrete any where from 3/4″ to 1″. Keeping that in mind, to fasten a 2 x 4 to concrete take the actual thickness of the 2 x 4 (1 1/2″) and add 3/4″ to 1″. This would bring you to a 2 1/2″ pin. Please note, some codes require a 3″ pin.
Fastening to steel
To fasten into steel, keep in mind the pin will go in about 1/2″ and stop. Therefore the same 2 x 4 (1 1/2″ actual) would use a 2″ pin. If you try to use a longer pin, the pin will go in about 1/2″ then stop and the pin will either bend or break. Many people are hesitant about shooting into steel, but most times it is easier to shoot than concrete, just a lot louder!
Power Load Selection
As for the loads or “bullets” , the loads are color coded and numbered to identify power level. Starting from lowest to highest you have gray, brown, green, yellow, red and purple. The rule of thumb when choosing a load is start low and work your way up. The trick is to use just enough power to set the fastener properly without over driving the tool. Some tools have power adjustments allowing you to use just one color and adjust down.
Tool Selection
What is the right tool for your job? If you just want to do your own basement, you can probably get away with using a single shot tool that you actuate with a hammer, available at any big box store. If you are a contractor, remember, you get what you pay for. Don’t buy the cheapest tool you can find. Some of the less expensive tools are actually considered disposable, with no replacement parts available.
Consider what the majority of your work is. If you are a general contractor, you may want a good brand name middle of the road semi-automatic tool that can be serviced. If you are a commercial drywall contractor you may opt of a good quality single shot too or even consider stepping up to a fully automatic gas tool or a tool with a magazine.
An electrician may consider a power adjustable tool that can offer him more flexibility. If you do a lot of over head work, consider a tool that works well on an extension pole. If you hang a lot of 3/8″ rod, check out a 3/8″ stud gun.
In conclusion…
Powder actuated tools are a useful tool for most any trade. If you fasten to concrete or steel on a regular basis, consider adding them to your tool box.

Truck Tool Boxes Provide Convenient Protection
January 29, 2008
Truck tool boxes give you a safe method of storing your personals in the back of your pickup and out of site. You can use it to store many types of sports equipment, tools, working gear, and more in the bed of your pickup in a neat and organized manner. You can also lock it up to keep anyone from stealing your property, and to keep it from popping open while moving down the highway. The addition of a toolbox is terrific for the owner who uses his truck to move a variety of things.
Truck tool boxes also have a good effect on the appearance of your vehicle. You can buy them diamond plated or even painted or powdercoated to match the style of your pickup perfectly. They add a contrast to an otherwise plain area of the truck to give it a more functional look. You’ll get comments from others on how nice it looks, almost like your truck came from the dealer with one installed.
You can add shelving to the toolbox for a convenient way to store small items. This is a wonderful way to keep those smaller items like sockets or drill bits from rolling around and getting disorganized. This will save you countless hours looking for the right sized socket when you need it most. And not only are they safely stored in the tool box, but they are protected from rain or snow as well. Keep your prized possessions in new condition by not exposing it to bad weather conditions.
Remove Your Tool Box For More Space
Truck tool boxes are designed to be easily installed and removed with little hassle. The companies realize that you may need to use the space that the toolbox takes up every once in a while. That’s why the removal of them typically amounts to loosening a couple bolts and lifting it out of the bed. When you are done moving what you need to move, you can quickly put the toolbox back in and tighten it down. It’s as simple as that.
There are alot of reasons why any truck owner would want to have a tool box in their bed. It provides useful, secure storage as well as protection from rain, snow, mud, and the sun’s rays. They are popular truck accessories and it’s easy to see why. Not only do you receive the benefits mentioned above, but you also get a product that enhances the appearance of your pickup.
James McDonald writes for yourtruckaccessories.com where you can browse many styles of pickup truck tool boxes for many different models. We also have many other truck accessories for both performance and show.

Crossbed Truck Tool Boxes
January 29, 2008
The crossbed truck tool box is the most popular style of truck bed tool boxes. I see more of these boxes on the road then any other. Crossbed boxes have more storage space then most other pickup truck tool boxes. They also come in a variety of styles and designs to fit nearly anyones needs.
The most common truck bed box is the single lid box. This crossbed design has one single lid with two latches to open the lid from either side of your truck. These boxes can range in price from under $200 to around $600.
The two lid crossbed truck tool box is another common style. These boxes open from either side of your truck. They are priced about the same as the single lid. Remember there are many manufacturers of all these crossbed boxes, so take your time and look around.
There’s many manufacturers of these boxes. Some of the most popular companys are Dee Zee, Delta, and Deflecta-Sheld. Crossbed boxes are available in aluminum, steel, and plastic. They can also be bought as a low profile box, which is not as tall as a standard crossbed box. The low profile box allows better visibility through the rear window, and a less obvious look to your truck bed.
If you’d like your crossbed box to be easily removable, there’s some new products that can make that happen. There are some new manufacturers that make truck boxes on a rail system so you can slide your crossbed box from the front to the rear of your bed. There are also installation systems that allow you to easily fasten your box to the truck bed, so you won’t need a single tool to remove it.
Whatever style you choose, make sure to look for the best deal. Don’t forget the shipping costs either. Some online retailers have free shipping for any of their truck boxes. Freight charges will apply to any truck box purchase without free shipping, so look for free shipping before you buy.
