"I asked a local mechanic to verify that the tool was working - he said it seemed fine, but I cannot get it to click at all when using it set to 108 ft-lb (well within it's specified range) to torque the axel nut on my motorcycle. When talking with them on the phone, the manufacturer admitted that this type of torque wrench has a design flaw which makes it easy to inadvertently break the tool: The instructions are clear that the tool must be stored at it's lowest setting. But if you loosen the tool to just BELOW it's lowest setting, (which the design of the tool makes far too easy to do), it is permanently damaged."
"This 1/2 inch drive socket torque wrench is ideal for that 13 to almost 203 Newton Meters (Nm) range that applies to larger fasteners on a mountain bike (such as the bottom bracket and freewheel), and to make sure undue stress is not being applied to the carbon fiber frame or components. (you have to consider dynamic versus static loading when conducting testing) Still, a deviance of only 0.8% is well within the 4% Tekton claims and is very accurate for a torque wrench in this price range. Also, the feel of the Tekton 24335 is much more intuitive during dynamic loading and when you reach the limit in torque you set, the click and swivel of the head is sharp, loud and easy to notice due to the roller pin rolling over the roller bearing. That is simply a huge amount of difference and when you combine that with the fact that the Tekton 24335 is so accurate, it makes choosing the Tekton easy. So far, I have had my Tekton 24335 for about seven months and have used it not only on my bikes but also with some light auto work, and the wrench has been both accurate and performed superbly."
"The adjusting mechanism was very rough, and when adjusting to the upper end of the range, difficult."
"Broke after just a few uses.Weird grinding noises when changing torque setting, and no longer clicks when torque setting is reached."

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"My 350z has a closed coolant system not like my older GM vehicles where just leaving the radiator cap open would burp the air out. of the cooling system. How to do it: From all my reading the best way to tackle this issue is to attach the funnel to your radiator cap opening while cold and fill the funnel about 1/4 up so when system burps fluid falls into they system rather than more air. Once car is cooled down follow the instructions on how to remove the funnel. and close your radiator, by this point 95-100% of the air is out of the system."
"During cooling system bleeding, the funnel serves as a reservoir for additional coolant that drains into the radiator as trapped air escapes. Anyone with a modicum of ingenuity and mechanical aptitude should be able to fabricate a custom adapter from a spare radiator cap and miscellaneous parts purchased from the plumbing department of Home Depot!"
"I don't know how I would've done a three-time coolant flush so easily (and mess free) without this thing!"
"Saw one of my co workers had something similar to this but his lacked a lot of the adapters that this one comes with and I have to say this little kit makes life a lot easier especially with the plug and i like that it comes with a top lid for storing all the adapters after the bag is torn open."
"I wish I had purchased this a long time ago."
"This made refilling the coolant a totally mess-free process and insured I had completely removed all the air bubbles from my cooling system. This is especially important with our newer lean-burning engines that have very thin cooling jackets in the engine and must have adequate coolant flow without air pockets to be effective."
"And any remaining coolant is held in the funnel when the stopper is put into place."

"In the past I've tried the plated steel version of a strip socket holders & found them to be a waste of money They would end up rusting and the sockets were so hard to put on & take off that I ended up bending them all up. I thought these were a bit pricey but that changed when I started snapping on my sockets. "EDIT" I wrote this review a year ago and never hit the "Submit" button."
"My only suggestion would be to have Osla tools label each individual place with the socket size that should go in order...other than that it is great."
"The sockets slide perfectly,Not sloppy or hard to slide. If your wondering if you can use your previous plastic socket adapters from another socket holder you really can't."
"I bought a large socket set years ago from a big box retailer. These Olsa socket holders are a very high quality set. If I had to find something to constructively criticize, it might be simply that the rubber end pieces might eventually crack and not stay on."
"I came across this on Amazon and seen it held up to sixteen sockets and i gave them a try' love them they work great."
"I was able to eliminate the plastic suitcase style clamshell that my 25 year old Craftsman socket set came with - it took up the entire top drawer of my tool chest."

Except I noticed on this bad boy I can see when the last codes where erased on a vehicle so I can weed out those dealer cars that clear codes on their problem child cars as they enter the auction. It goes to auctions 4 auctions a week and probably scans at least 50 cars per auction. I can scan vehicle almost on the auction block if need be for those cars that just appear that you never saw parked in the sale lot.. Also for kicks i scanned a Maserati and it worked..Scans Mercedes c class to."
"Personally I do not like this it seems that now you are forced to buy all the extras in the app since you are paying $99 for the Adapter, I have 4 other OBD2 Bluetooth adapters that work with torque and other apps and provide very similar information, BlueDriver is more advanced being able to Read/Clear Enhanced Codes (e.g. ABS, Airbag, Transmission, etc.)."
"I leave the module plugged into the OBD2 port on my 2011 Mercedes GL350 (Diesel) constantly since I purchased the BlueDriver in June, 2017. I am towing the trailer again this week with the real-time logging running, when yesterday, on hwy 93 in Idaho, the middle of nowhere, the engine dies! We miraculously find a place to safely pull off the 2-lane (no shoulder) highway and my wife starts calling our subscription towing service, I look at the BlueDriver app now that we are stopped, and I can now see a warning that the fuel pressure is low. My wife re-starts the car, no leak, so we put on the pretty cover, cleaned up with simple green and a paper towel, and head down the road."

Battery Tender Junior 12V Battery Charger is much more than a trickle charger. Automatic charge cycle functionality switches to float mode after fully charging the battery.
Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"There are quite a few float charger type products out there that bill themselves as "battery tenders" but the actual product name of this is "Battery Tender Jr." - they have other Battery Tender products, including one with higher charging output, and one with more outputs for charging multiple batteries. A battery that is kept at full charge will have a much longer service life than a battery that is left sitting with less than a full charge. The difference with the Battery Tender products is that they are intelligent: they have computers inside that analyze the state of charge of the battery to which they are connected, and alter their output to adjust: Initialization, Bulk Charge Mode, Absorption Mode, Float Mode). I have not had a single battery go bad in the five years since I have started using Battery Tenders - and every battery still performs like it is brand new. When I park the bike, I simply flip open the cubby, plug in the Battery Tender, and I know the battery is protected and maintained. The Battery Tender works great on standard flooded wet-cell lead-acid batteries, as well as AGM (absorption glass mat) batteries. And you can now get accessories that plug into the Battery Tender vehicle-side connector when the Battery Tender is not connected. See more about these accessories here: Battery Tender USB Charger and 12 volt Socket. Overall, this is one of my favorite products, they work amazingly well, keep your batteries in top shape, and cost less than a quarter of the cost of a single new battery."
"This tender doesn't seem as sturdy as the Battery Tender Juniors I've purchased in the past."
"This hooks up easily, charges the battery right off (it took several hours to fully charge since it was so far down) and keeps it charged just right."

"Wish the light changing instructions were on the front of plug and larger font."

Find Best Price at Amazon"Four also provides a greater sense of security than only using two--as I tightened, I was wondering what would happen if one of the compressors suddenly broke (when I was only using two) and what could I do--can't run since there would be no chance, and with it being also so close to my lap, would I get killed or seriously injured, or wind up speaking in a shrill tone of voice? A spring with coils almost as thick as a figure under compression is as, if not more, dangerous than a loaded gun--imagine being hit with one when a compressor breaks."
"As simple as replacing a spring or strut change can be you don't want to make a mistake when working with loaded springs."
"I would advise spending the few extra bucks and buy this in the blow molded case, the plastic that it ships in when you opt for no case is a pain and on top of it, you don't have a case!"
"It wasn't quite able to fit around my 5/8" shock, but if you remove the pin completely, you can attack it to the shock and then reinsert & secure the pin."
"You must keep the strut compressor pulled outward, near the adjustment head, in order to maintain socket access."
"Very good buy and worked for me on my utv shocks to make it easier to change ride height/turn down the spring collars."
"These worked great for my rear springs, easy to use and I felt safe as long as I used them properly and as instructed."
"If you've ever had a spring pop out of a cheaper spring compressor, you know that it's something you don't ever want to have happen again. If these can handle 18kg/mm under heavy compression, with no problem, they will easily handle the factory spring rates found in most cars (3-7kg/mm, or 170-400 lb/in), and the spring rates of off the shelf performance springs (usually no more than 35% stiffer than OEM spring rates)."
