This channel is not DIY. it's just me doing things in and around the garage. Not a professional mechanic at all. Not even a good amateur mechanic lol. I'm not qualified to be giving advice on any of this stuff, but you're welcome to hang out in the garage with me while I make mistakes.

PLEASE DONT SMOKE YALL, I quit 2 years ago and it was the best thing i ever did. This was just a skit for the video. Thanks for watching, appreciate yall.
Think this would run a die grinder or air hammer with intermittent use? Hobby guy here who would like to have a die grinder to clean gasket surfaces or even use an air hammer on occasion for rotors.
@userx702 I haven't used this one very much yet but it should definitely do it for intermittent use. I used to use a die grinder and air hammer (in short burst on occasion) on my old compressor, way smaller than this one.
didn’t you just replace the coil on number #6, 1 through 4 are on the other side
Yes I made a mistake and did the wrong side. I listed an update in the video description, and a follow up video. Just went ahead and left the video up in case anyone was just wanting to see the process.
It must be cooler in garage the mine 🥵
Lol Today was better than the last few days but still miserably hot. Thanks for watching and commenting and I hope you enjoyed the video.
Looks like they will work. I thought most of the new Craftsman besides for the Texas plant was made in china. All the new screwdrivers break easily and my 20 volt stuff is crap all my batteries have broken cases and my drill the chuck is very loose.
@petescustomcarshop I thought that's where it was made too but most of my recent craftsman purchases were from India. Sucks the Texas plant already closed but gotta give them bonus points for at least trying to bring it back to the USA. I've had pretty good luck with the 20 volt stuff I have but I'm just some dude in his garage, I'm not sure they would hold well in a professional environment. Kinda wish I would've went dewalt for power tools, mostly because I like the color lol. But I'll use what I got. I waste to much money on tools as it is, lol. Thanks for watching and commenting I'm glad you stopped by the channel hope you enjoyed the video.
@@hoobsgarage I didn't know the Texas plant was closed. I'm going to try Milwaukee when my craftsman stuff gives up, I am still using my old 19.2 volt stuff for my automotive repair business.
@petescustomcarshop yea that plant didn't last long. I guess they just couldn't make stuff there and still make it work financially. I'd like to have Milwaukee just don't know if could put that much money into something I rarely use. Maybe someday I'll hit the lottery lol. I've also heard good things about that old craftsman 19.2 stuff. Glad it's still holding up for ya
Also my 20V batteries are cracked but I think they redid the plastic
@@MajorWeakness Yup the plastic is brittle also. It's not like it use to be.
bro, the whole point of a torque wrench is accuracy. they must be calibrated. you didn’t show whether or not this tool can be calibrated. how could you fail to discuss that.
@virgilwalker hey "bro" didnt think grown men would need detailed instructions to everything in life. They all came with calibration certificates and instructions on where to send it if you want it recalibrated.
@@hoobsgarageyou don’t need detailed instructions if you’re just gonna send it off and pay someone else to do it. “grown men” usually don’t pay other men to handle business for them. you trust that photocopied mass produced inspection certificate? do you work on the vehicle your wife and kids ride in with that torque wrench? And you do know that men seek instruction and share information with other men on important practical and essential topics, that’s why you made this video.
You asked the question, not me, and asked it with an attitude so i gave it right back, and you already knew it could be calibrated. Why would you not be able to calibrate it? What good is a torque wrench that can't be calibrated? And it can be done on your own if the person wants to. If that was covered in this video, then the video would've been called how to calibrate a torque wrench. I'm not gonna entertain obvious trouble making comments. You knew the answer before you asked.
I appreciate that you’re trying to make helpful videos but it is very frustrating to try to get to the bottom of this on youtube, so many fail to address the calibration functionality on these tools and some of the tools are designed to make it difficult to calibrate the wrench yourself, despite the process being extremely simple until these manufacturers purposely reduce functionality and/or require a specialty tool in order to obstruct independent calibration. yes of course they want you to send it in and pay them to do it. it’s all about increasing our reliance on them and lining their pockets at every turn. like the $80+ husky torque wrench at home depot, don’t buy it. there’s little that frustrates me more than these modern BS business practices of taking away the independence of the modern handyman or shade tree mechanic. for instance modern motorcycle service manuals where instructions on essential maintenance procedures simply state “visit your authorized dealer”. i don’t mean to sound like a prick but i’ve had it up to here with that kind of BS from these companies. i think you should consider addressing this functionality in future videos because it is left out of not just your torque wrench review but the majority of them, which i found surprising and frustrating.
your tools and the vehicles in your garage look great by the way. i just went through a major fiasco trying to find a quality 1/4 drive torque wrench that i can calibrate at home using my own calibration and diagnostic equipment. it’s a serious blind spot in many reviews currently available on youtube and obsessive/perfectionist craftsmen and hobbyists, or those using the tool for critically important applications really want to see and would appreciate a careful look at this functionality.
I had a 2007 nice riding cars..only problem was it started to idle rough..i replaced a coil...ran fine for a month...started acting up again...found coil was not bad had a bad seal leaking oil into the plug well..took a shop to get a second opinion ..i asked what the fix , they said a new engine...i said to that car ! BYE BYE! LOL !
@tedkay3750 they are nice riding cars. Bummer yours went down on ya. Maybe you'll find another someday. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Thanks bro ... I'm considering getting a white town car especially after listening to you.......
@amunshabazzrael9268 hey thanks I'm glad you enjoyed the video and found it helpful. I think white town cars look amazing that's actually what I was looking for when I bought the gold one but it was to good of a deal to pass up. Thanks again for watching and commenting.
I had a Grand Marqis 7 years my engine went out last month.... "But" I fell in love driving it..... Good tip men I wish I would have loved to hear this earlier...... Thanks dude....
@amunshabazzrael9268 hey thanks for the compliment and sorry about your engine. Hopefully you can fix it or find another panther car. They are great cars Ive had that black town car for 13 years and it's been great. Thanks again for watching and commenting I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
I had the long handle 3/8 flex Head. The same one they have here. Ever time I used it. I cussed it. Took it back. Got a snap on awesome rachet
@br529 I'd like to have a snap on ratchet too but im just some dude in his garage not a professional, kinda hard for me to drop that much cash on something I'd use 3 times a year lol. Thanks for watching and commenting hope you enjoyed the video.
My aunt always had Grand Marquis . They were lovley cars , great ride , and very stylish. One of the best ideas Ford ever had.
@jimjanus3710 yes they sure are reliable and comfortable. Thanks for watching and commenting I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
I have codes 1263 and 1264. But is this related to the AC compressor not working?
@johng6974 I not exactly sure if you're asking if my video is about the compressor or if you're asking if your codes are referring to compressor. To answer both my video is only covering issues that would stop your compressor from activating the codes you have are for a couple of the actuators in the dash. Hope this helped ya out thanks for watching and commenting!!!
Hi from the uk, I have a full set of the Proto box end wrench’s they’re fantastic so much purchase on them and they’re bullet proof
@@stuartmcmillan2518 sounds like a nice set. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Honest question: Do you use any of the skipped sizes? I've found that the majority of the skips that i have collect dust in my box. They are actually robbing me of space 😅, only sizes i use that most skip are 12mm and 18mm for toyota and ford. The 18mm drives me crazy because its only 2 control arm bolts. Considering to just replace the bolts with aftermarket ones 😆
Typically I don't lol. The one good thing about this set is usually the ones it skips are the sizes that a similar sae wrench will fit. I've noticed alot of ratcheting wrench set skip an 18mm. I'm gonna have to pick one up I run into alot of 18mm it seems like. Thanks for watching and commenting I hope you enjoyed the video. I'm glad you stopped by the channel
@@hoobsgarage yeah 18mm is becoming more common as it's on the new universal iso standard every manufacturer is adopting.
Thanks appreciate this video
No problem and I'm glad you enjoyed the video. That was one of my very first videos and I was super nervous for most of it lol. Thanks for watching and commenting I'm glad you stopped by the channel.
Snksks and the day of all time in the
Thanks for the video. I'm going to purchase one of these as the price is right at Tractor Supply. Now I know what to look at before I load it up.
No problem glad you enjoyed the video. Last time I was there I checked out another one and it was put together decent from what I could see. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Enjoyed the U. S. General tour so now you m double dipping for the craftsman box tour! Your efforts to create and share these videos are appreciated dude. Thank you.
Thanks again for watching and commenting and supporting the channel. I'm glad you enjoy my videos enough to watch a second one. Glad ya stopped by channel!
I LOVE the gunmetal chrome ratchets! Thanks for the tour.
Hey thanks for the compliment and thanks for watching and commenting. I'm glad you liked the video!!
Why does everybody use Chrome sockets for everything....USE CHROME MOLYBDENUM SOCKETS FOR WHEELS AND ON IMPACT WRENCHES....
Absolutely no clue what your talking about but thanks for watching and commenting. Glad you stopped by the channel!!
lol i subscribed to see this follow up video
Thanks for subscribing and thanks for stopping back by!
Mine said 12 63 what does that mean anybody
I think that's for one of the actuators. Hope your able to get it fixed. Thanks for watching and commenting!
My 03 has a issue that st hwy speed the compressor will kick on and off alot in town 35 mph blows cold out on rd 65mph + and it not cold just slightly cool I might try one these switch
Mine has done that same thing for awhile. This helped that issue but it's still not 100 percent. Hope it works for you. Thanks for watching and commenting!!
A well rounded box. Thanks for the tour
Thanks!!! And thanks for watching and commenting. I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
Can use standard short bit?
Not sure that long bit sticks outta there pretty far so i dont think it would just fall in there. I'm sure you could get a little adapter or something and use the little ones that way for sure Hope this helps thanks for watching and commenting, I'm glad you stopped by the channel.
Can fit the standard short bit?
"I love big cars, and big woman" You my man has a subscriber in me
Lol thanks and thanks for supporting the channel, I'm glad you found that entertaining and I'm glad you stopped by the channel, hope you enjoy more of my videos. Thanks again for watching and commenting.
I'm new,.....You are AWESOME!!!!
Hey thanks and thanks for stopping by the channel we're glad to have ya here. I'm glad you enjoyed the video and hopefully you enjoy the other ones. Thanks again for stopping by.
Is your c5 lowered? Mine is, and my regular daytona barely fits, but I would like for it to go further in towards the subframe, and with that pump on the back, that would be a nice touch.
Only lowered when my obesity is in it lol. No but seriously it's not lowered and that's what I like about this long reach jack it really reaches in there. Thanks for watching and commenting.
@hoobsgarage lmao! Hey, at least you are honest!
@TJsVette that's right lol. Thanks again for watching and commenting. Glad you stopped by the channel.
Thanks for posting this vid man. Super fun to watch after a tough day,!
Well that is awesome. That is exactly what I wanted this channel to be was something people could kick back and get enjoyment from watching. Thanks for watching and commenting and I'm glad you stopped by the channel. Thanks again for the compliment.
My 17 yr olds first car. Just picked up a week ago. Gonna catch up on all the age specific maintenaince. Love it. Im glad to see this young generation can appreciate old time engineering. He bought it himself!
Congrats on the new car and yes it's nice to know people still appreciate these beautiful cars. Thanks for watching and commenting, I'm glad you stopped by the channel.
Nice! Good handy toolbox with everything you need for wrenching on cars.
Hey thanks I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching and commenting, I'm glad you stopped by the channel.
I knew something was missing from my cart... No stickers of hot chicks!! Harbor Freight should start selling them... Also that Sears Craftsman linesmen pliers is awesome. Their tools from that age are downright unkillable.
Yes sir you gotta have those hot chick stickers lol. And I agree about the old craftsman. It's great I wish I would've had the chance to get more USA tools back when they sold them new
Awesome tools. I like the orange us general too.
Thanks!!! And thanks for watching and commenting. I'm glad you liked the video and glad you stopped by the channel. Thanks again!!
You are underrated
Thanks for the nice comment. Im glad you like my videos. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Very cool!
Hey thanks man I appreciate that. It's so awesome you watch my videos I've been watching yours for years. Thanks again for watching and commenting and supporting the channel!!!
@@hoobsgarage My pleasure, Brother!
Good video thumbs up and subbed. My 2001 town car A/C panel stopped working today. I got in and turned on the key but one of my other keys on the keychain flipped up and kind of blocked me from fully turning the key, like it didnt make a full connection. After that I noticed my A/C control panel not working right. It comes on for a split second after starting the engine, then it goes off and I cant get it to turn on. Found one blown 20 amp fuse in the interior fuse box, and didnt find anything other fuses blown in the engine fuse box. Guess I might need a new A/C control panel?
Hey thanks for the support and thanks for watching and commenting. As for your issue I kinda agree with what you did my first instinct would've been to check they fuses in case maybe that short burst blew something. Seems like the panel itself could really be the only thing it could be or something to do with the power that feeds it. Is nothing else acting up? Kinda weird it just took out that one thing
Subscribed for more Lincoln content! Will check out the hooptie fleet
Hey thanks and thanks for watching and commenting. If I can get the escalade to quit breaking down I hope to have more lincoln videos soon lol.
This is a great video. I'm fixing g to by me a Town Car. I've never had one. It worries me getting something I've never owned. I like to hit the road and not look back for days at a time. I'm gonna need something reliable. I'll probably have regular Springs put on the back of the line I get too. I'm looking at two different ones right now for around 3,000 but I'm going to try to get it for 2500. One is a 2002 and one is a 2000. This guy bought one for his daughter who just got her license and she doesn't like that big car. It's got brand new tires and battery and a tune-up and an oil change the other one's pretty but it's at a car lot in it probably needs all that stuff done. I'm scared of the car lots!
If it's no worries you're looking for you'll probably definitely like one of these town cars. My black one has 270k on it and I'd take it on a cross country drive without hesitation. Thanks for watching and commenting and thanks for supporting the channel. Good luck with the town car If you end up getting one.
My 03 had pressure in the system but the compressor clutch would come on and off continuously, after replacing this sensor problem went away, got lucky
nice glad it fixed it. thanks for watching and commenting. im glad you stopped by the channel.
UPDATE THERE IS A COUPLE SEALS YOU NEED TO REPLACE WHERE THE HOSE CONNECTS TO THE RACK....I learned that the hard way lol...thanks again for watching.
Yeahhhhhh nice work brotha!
Thank you long timeeeee
I found a perfect one 2006 16k miles on it
Nice, she sounds like a beauty. Thanks for watching and commenting.
To check the blend door actuator does the engine have to be running?Thanks for the info.
I dont believe so I think it will scan it as long as the key is on. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Crown vic, marquis, towncar, get em while you can.
Yes sir, thanks for watching and commenting
😅😅😅❤
Do coil springs 100 dollars and 1 1/2 hours of your time
I did that to one of them and I like it better. I feel like rides just as well and feels more stable in turns. Thanks for watching and commenting.
It's a good set
Yea I like it. It's definitely came in handy a few times. Thanks for watching and commenting I'm glad you stopped by the channel.
I’m with you, the 36 tooth ratchets are what I grew up using out of Dad’s toolbox, and what I use now. They’re nowhere near the comfort and quality of most ratchets, but I don’t care. There’s something about using an old Craftsman ratchet to get the job done. That being said, I really wish Stanley Black & Decker hadn’t purchased the Craftsman brand and just let it die along with Sears. Even the China made tools from Sears were better than the crap at Lowe’s today.
The classic look is great isint it. Thanks for watching and commenting I'm glad you stopped by the channel.
I also think a set of T-handles should always have the "wobble" hex bit on the long end.
Yes that little ball end can come in handy. I got a set of socket type hex things that have that on it. Thanks for watching and commenting. Hope you enjoyed the video.
