Low Price Gorilla Automotive 41187 Acorn Bulge Seat Lug Nuts (1/2" Thread Size)


I purchased these for my '02 Liberty Renegade to swap out the garbage stock MOPAR/Jeep two-piece nuts. Sure, they look great when you put them on, but I am writing this in late December after about 4-6 weeks (at most) of snowfall here in WI and the subsequent salt wash that ensues. These things are already rusting like crazy! I only put them on earlier this year in mid-late summer, so this is the first winter they have seen, and the ONLY one they will see. I am now going to swap these things out ASAP in the spring. Save your money if you are in a northern climate.Get more detail about Gorilla Automotive 41187 Acorn Bulge Seat Lug Nuts (1/2" Thread Size).

Cheapest BlinX Wheel Illumination: Yellow


When I peeled off the protective surface to access the "3M VHB industrial tape" what it revealed has the sticking power of a post-it. (Also a 3M innovation - was there a factory mix-up?)

I don't know if the solvent had evaporated or what. But that ain't sticking to anything. (I had imagined getting them on my bike wheels or body, which has a similar surface to any pimped out blingy wheels that I can visualize.)

Still, a swell idea. Quite bright. You do have to turn 'em on/off manually, but no biggie. Now I just need to find the right way to attach them to my bike.Get more detail about BlinX Wheel Illumination: Yellow.

Buying VIAIR 91025 2-1/2 Gallon Air Tank


If you want to have an effective on-board air system this tank should be on your list of things to get. It provides a reservoir of air that enables your compressor build up a reserve. This tank works well for me with a low-volume compressor and would be even better with a high-volume compressor. The tank is tough as nails, will hold high air pressure, and has five outlet openings for nearly limitless on-board air solutions.Get more detail about VIAIR 91025 2-1/2 Gallon Air Tank.

Buy Interdynamics TX-500 TyphoonMax 12-Volt High Speed Air Compressor


My wife brought one of these when we replaced our van a year and a half ago. Our previous van had a built-in compressor but the replacement didn't. She wanted a portable compressor to use in the replacement van. Twice now the cord has gotten jammed in the reel. I disassembled the compressor the first time only to find that you can't removed the reel to clear the jam. By firmly pulling on the cord, I got it to unwind both times, but the insulation was damaged the first time and I had to patch it. You need to pull the cord out completely and to smoothly rewind it in the right direction to prevent the cord from winding over it self. The compressor has not been idiot tested. Don't buy it!!!!!!! Oh, Darcey is correct. The lower the SCFM, the longer it will take to fill a tire.Get more detail about Interdynamics TX-500 TyphoonMax 12-Volt High Speed Air Compressor.

Order Slime 20091 Quick Check Tire Pressure Cap Indicator


These were bigger and more awkward than I thought they would be from the pictures. The plastic construction feels cheap and does not inspire a lot of confidence, so I ended up taking them off pretty quickly and putting them on a shelf. I didn't really leave them on long enough to be sure about how well they work, so they may do exactly what they say they do, but I didn't get that feeling looking at them, and they look terrible. I'm back to chrome stem caps ($5.00) and dirty fingers, and I feel a lot better about it.Get more detail about Slime 20091 Quick Check Tire Pressure Cap Indicator.

Order Northern Industrial Tire Spoon - 30in. Curved


Although the product is great, the quality control is the shipping department is crap. I was shipped an empty box the first time around. The plastic sleeve the tool was in was in the box, but no tool! Some yahoo at the warehouse has a nice tire spoon now. I can't believe the scale didn't catch this before it got out the door. I mean, tire spoons weigh at least three pounds, how could you not know when one isn't in the box? Northern corrected the issue, but it shouldn't have happened in the first place, and it wasted my time.Get more detail about Northern Industrial Tire Spoon - 30in. Curved.

OTC 1122 1/8"" to 2"" Bearing Splitter"


High quality made in USA item. My husband removed a hard to remove hub from a motor shaft and bearing. You need the companion puller OTC 7373 or equivalent that attaches to the splitter. He found that an air impact wrench worked much better than using a wrench on the puller bolt. You can buy cheap made in China copies but they probably aren't made nearly as well to stand up to normal use.Get more detail about OTC 1122 1/8"" to 2"" Bearing Splitter".

OTC 7180 Universal Adjustable Bearing Cup Installer Review


i maintain a fleet of ~140 class 7 vehicles and change out bearing cups on average six axles a month. i haven't found a better tool for the job than the OTC 7180. i have modified mine to do cup removals which saves iron hubs from the deforming glancing blows from a hammered straight drift. my only problem with the tool is that the roll pins that secure the jaws wear out rather quickly. i replaced them with grade 8 bolts and have had no problem since. OTC includes a complete replacement parts list and contact information with the tool. best of all it is made in the USA. God bless em.Get more detail about OTC 7180 Universal Adjustable Bearing Cup Installer.
