TK Hoover,


Execise some creativity and you may save some money. There are a great number of us who do not possess your cache of specialty tools. So every opportunity to use some tool for more thanone purpose should be considered.


e.g. Use a large C-clamp instead of a caliper retractor to open up your brake calipers. You can use a razor blade instead of some megabuck headgasket scraper. Another example would be when you are stuck on a steep hill w/o parking brakes or a wheel chuck. Then you say, "Hey, here's TK's Head." Ya know what I mean? Get creative. Use YOUR head. It's good for you and your wallet.
