Tools / hardware I'm ordering after SITM
 

If you haven't been following the SITM thread, we had some parking lot repairs going on. A few folks (including myself) brought along a plethora of tools. A couple of folks had stuff along that I found very handy that I've now ordered, figured worth sharing with the community.

@skpyle came to the rescue with a Chinesium copy of the GM Tech II device. If you own a GM vehicle and do your own work on it, these are very, very handy. Required to properly bleed brakes to cycle the ABS unit. I've used a real one back when I moonlighted as a Corvette pit crew member, they are just a tad bit more expensive..... I'm not 100% sure what years these all cover. I think somewhere around 2010 some GM vehicles went to a more advanced bus and need something else.

While we were doing some electrical testing and I was trying to untangle my test leads that looked like the Christmas light ball from Christmas Vacation, Seth walked over and handed me this:

@Dundertaker saw us testing the compressor pump and we may have needed 12V source to test some circuits. He handed me one of these:

I've seen these before but never put much thought into it. Not only can you test for power / ground / continuity but you can also supply 12V to test circuits.

He also shared with us a new product on the market for locking fasteners:

He's planning on using them in areas like the oil pan.
Video in this link shows how well they work compared to all other forms of locking fasteners:

It's always great to hang out with Dundertaker because he always seems to be the kid with the coolest stuff . :)

he needs to be able to escape when he gets stuck in those caskets 😱😂
