    My wife has told me many times, that I have saved us over a hundred thousand dollars, working on my trucks, my self. over the years.

    Now that I'm retired, I look at her and say "you never knew about the $95,000 worth of things I broke trying to learn":eek:

    Edit: and the $25,000 of tools:eek::eek:

    Snap on break just as easy as craftsman. Only difference is instead of running into town to trade in the broken ones at the closest sears, you gotta hunt down the snap on guy. Who conveniently are to busy to stop by when ya got broken wrenches but Johnny on the spot when you need to buy a new ratchet.

    It's like 50 cents a gallon at walmart. Once you go to tell it with coolant do not use tap water to mix with the antifreeze. Use distilled water. Tap water has too many minerals which lasts to plugged up radiators and heater cores.
