    Hey man I noticed how you mentioned on that Snap On Brake Bleeder you said you made a compu check adapter for fuel systems after services. Are you talking about Detroits and how they lose prime? Because I've wondered about making that exact set up you have, would it prime the system and get all the air out, so does it work well for you?

    Nice video, thanks for sharing. Nice work on the tools also. In regards to the brake spring prybar, I never seen or thought about how those work. When I did brakes, I would hammer the return spring pins in, hook the return spring to both shoes, pick the top shoe and put it in place while the bottom shoe dangles, then swing the bottom shoe in place, then hook both retaining springs to the top shoe, grab the bottom of each retaining spring with a needle nose vise grip (tight), and just use my hand closest to the spring to push down while holding the end of the handle with my other hand, and pop them in the holes. I really hope I didn't confuse everyone!LOL It was always so easy, I never thought of buying a spring tool, even though I am a recovering Snap-on addict! Stay safe!

    I use used diesel oil to quench tools after using a torch to bend them. I like to think all of that extra carbon gives the steel a little bit of case hardening. It seems to help with rust. I mean I don’t leave them out in the rain. But they don’t just rust laying in the tool box. Just a tip, dunk them quick. To avoid setting the surface of the oil on fire. And red hot. Not orange or white hot. Or it’ll be too brittle.
