I use the sil-glyde I buy from Napa. It’s recommended for brakes and slide pins.[/quote]I use Sil-Glyde from NANA too, for brake parts. I’ve wondered though, can Sil-Glyde be used as a dielectric grease on electrical connections, etc.?
There is some good advice here. Whatever you do, avoid going into debt to buy tools. There are way too many less expensive options out there (like buying used or choosing less expensive but perfectly useable brands) to need to go into debt. Don’t just dive right into a huge tool truck account right off the bat. JMHO.
If the cube doesn’t fit your application, you can sometimes grind on whichever set of pins is “close” so it will fit. The cubes are so cheap, it doesn’t hurt to have a couple of modified ones laying around.
If it were me, I’d get it all, then sort through it as I had a chance. I’d keep what I wanted, repair what was broken and sell whatever I had no use for. I don’t live in an apartment though.
It may even be worth your while to rent a small storage unit for a couple of months to keep the stuff in while you go through it. Judging from your description, some things hidden in there could be worth a LOT of money.
EDIT; TejasNW beat me to it…..
Quoted From southpark:
i think if you’re just a weekender that will make it hard for you to justify SO tools. if Kobalt/Cman/NAPA/Matco has worked for you so far, no need to upgrade. however if you have the money and its burning a hole in your pocket i would recommend investing in a Dual80. the misses won’t be able to keep ya in bed Saturday morning after ya get it.
I agree. SO is just priced BEYOND the stratosphere unless you can find what you want used.
Since Kobalt recently went to the (mostly) Taiwanese line, the tools actually look and feel better than the old USA stuff. They’re still priced way too high for what they are though. Northern Tool, AutoZone and even HF all have very similar (if not identical) hardline tools for much less money.
