Powerbuilt 647089 Strut Coil Spring Compressor Review

Powerbuilt 647089 Strut Coil Spring CompressorThese are the worst set of spring compressors I've ever used. They take up way to much space on the outside of the spring. Because the force is not centered over the screw or balanced, the spring clamps and slider bind up on the screw making it very difficult to get this thing back off of the springs. I used them to compress some 620 LB springs and the spring brackets bent as did the large screw itself. I had to pound the thing apart with a hammer.

Sylvania H6054ST SilverStar 65-Watt High Performance Halogen Headlight Review

Sylvania H6054ST SilverStar 65-Watt High Performance Halogen HeadlightWe have a 2000 Jeep Cherokee Sport that came with some Wagner 'stock' headlights.They've never been anything special - in fact, we ALWAYS have to drive with our high beams on at night, and no one ever notices or 'flashes' us.Neither my husband nor I are very mechanically gifted when it comes to cars, so we were a little hesitant to purchase these and install them ourselves.Well, they shipped right after we purchased them, we received them four days later, and it took about 15 minutes to switch them out.My husband has to drive on a remote country road to get to work, and he said that these headlights (on low beam) are about five times brighter than our old lights on high beams.He also said that on high beams, it's like there's a big patch of daylight on the road in front of you.No need to adjust or align the level of the lights.We are anxious to see how long they last, but even if it's for a year or two, it's SO worth it!We will be recommending these to all our friends and family.

To install on the Jeep Cherokee Sport:
To remove, make sure you take the headlamp bezel off (2 screws above the headlight itself). You'll then see a metal bracket held in place by 4 phillips (x-type) screws. You will also see 2 star (*) screws; these are beam adjustment screws and you probably won't need to touch these. However, if you need to adjust the headlamps after completed installation, please be careful not to strip or remove them. Once the bracket is off, pull the headlight toward you and disconnect the plug. Replace the headlight, making sure that the middle prong of the connector is on top. Replace the bracket and the bezel, and you're set.

Sylvania SilverStar 65-Watt High Performance Halogen Headlight is fashioned for brighter and whiter light. It has dual filament for both high beam and low beam. This operates with internal gas pressure which significantly reduces the rate of tungsten evaporation. Its analogous non-halogen incandescent lamp operates the same filament temperature with greater luminance and efficiency. This combined effect of higher pressure and the halogen cycle give halogen lamp much longer life.

Professional Headlight Restoration Kit with Polisher and Plastic Polish and Cleaner Review

Professional Headlight Restoration Kit with Polisher and Plastic Polish and CleanerI thought this was a good idea to restore headlight covers on cars, but when i read all that
I would have to do, It seems to be too much work, and if I mess up in one area, its ruined.
This is more of a job for professionals than at home jobs.
Way too much trouble. So I wasted my money and will never use it.

World's Best Universal Oil Filter Wrench Review

Click Here to see more reviews about: World's Best Universal Oil Filter Wrench

Product Description:
We've tried almost every different oil filter wrench configuration available; adjustable-band models are a good idea but require side clearance.Sized 'cup' wrenches are effective but expensive and fit just one size filter.We were hopeful but skeptical when we found this wrench.We put it to the test on four different vehicles, each with unique and challenging filter placements--obviously designed by engineers who don't change their own oil.One required a LONG reach through a fender-wall flap and another in an unbelieveably cramped compact import.The filters ranged in size from 2-5/8" to 3-1/2" and at least one had been WAY over-tightened.This amazing wrench adapted flawlessly to each one--we removed and replaced filters in record time and didn't swear once.Solid hardened-steel construction and components with corrosion-resistant black-oxide finish; proudly offered with fit-guarantee and a lifetime warranty.

Permatex, Inc. 09135 Headlight Lens Restore Kit Review

Permatex, Inc. 09135 Headlight Lens Restore KitThe guys at the local Schucks Auto recommended this product above others. For vehicles that have protective coatings over the lens I do not recommend this product. It takes atleast an hour per headlight to properly get through the protective coating and what you are left with is a hazy, unprotected headlight. Customer service for the company was quick in addressing my problems and their advice was "keep sanding and it'll clear up eventually." Kit was used on an Audi A6. Where I was trying to clear up a few rock dings before, now I am left with hazy headlights that cost well over $500 each to replace. Thanks permatex.

Great Neck BB18 18''Breaker Bar 1/2''Dr. 'Great Neck had a great reputation for fine tools at one time, but this piece of shoddy Chinese-made junk shouldn't be used for anything other than stirring pots of paint.It has almost no relationship to the picture, except it's supposed to be 1/2".The handle is a bad cross-hatch on the bar, no raised handle area, and so poorly done that I wouldn't trust it with trying to break any nut.

L flat head engine will have the plugs and plug wires pointing straight up on top of the head. F head over head valve engine will have a metal valve cover and the plugs and wires will be pointing out at an angle on the driver's side of the head.

FRAM CF10135 Fresh Breeze Cabin Air Filter-Pack of 2 Review

FRAM CF10135 Fresh Breeze Cabin Air Filter-Pack of 2I was getting new tires on the wife's car when the tire shop asked if I wanted to change the cabin air filter for $70.I passed on the option since it only takes $15 and less than 5 minutes to change the cabin air filters on the 2002 Honda Civic EX.I also changed these in the spring and felt they should have lasted longer than they did.Well sure enough, I got home and inspected the filters and they were dirty.I guess driving in the city takes it's toll.I was going to pick up some replacements at the local autoshop.However, they were $20 a piece.I figured, I'd check out Amazon to see what they had going.I picked up the CF10135 for the Civic and CF10134 for my Accord.The price couldn't be beat at $25 and some change for both and free shipping.

The CF10135 is a perfect fit replacement part for a 2002 Honda Civic.The A/C definitely puts out more air and is fresh.We'll see how well the extra benefits of the Fresh Breeze are real or not later down the road.However, for the price it's a great replacement part even if the Fresh Breeze doesn't make it smell like roses.

Motive Products Power Bleeder - European- Black Label Review

Motive Products Power Bleeder - European- Black LabelBrake bleeding.What a pain.I hate having to call upon anyone to help me with anything.So for me, brake bleeding usually involves a lump of wood jammed against the brake pedal and the seat.You may know what that is like.

I have tried one-way bleeders with varying success over the years but my Alfa Romeo has two bleed nipples on the rear calipers that need to be opened at the same time.One-way bleeders do not work.

I had heard about the power bleeders that push fluid through the system like the Motive Products unit and vacuum systems that draw the fluid through such as the MityVac.

Some research led me to the Motive Products Power Bleeder.The Black Label unit has the correct European cap for the master cylinder which was a significant feature.

Why-oh-why did I not get one sooner?

So easy.It just works.Add the fluid, pressurize the system open up the bleed nipples in the correct order.What could be simpler?

I did add Teflon tape to the nipple threads which is a good idea whatever bleeding method you use.I resists air entering the system past the threads when the nipple is loosened.

I takes longer to jack the car up and remove the wheels than bleeding the brakes.One of the best $70 I have ever spent.

Any downsides? I lent this to a friend that has a vehicle that requires a master cylinder cap adapter that is not a direct screw-on type, it is held on with chains, he was not happy with it.Then again he not happy with anything to do with the brakes on his Mitsubishi Gallant VR4.We have tried everything on this car to get a real solid pedal.The good old pump pump hold, vacuum and pressure bleeding.May be the ABS is a problem.

Unit is well made.Like the billet m/c cap.

Permatex 80078 Anti-Seize Lubricant 133K, 8 oz Brush-Top Bottle Review

Permatex 80078 Anti-Seize Lubricant 133K, 8 oz Brush-Top BottleThis Permatex anti-seize is excellent for all of the above, as it prevents the formation of rust or galvanic corrosion between steel plugs / aluminum heads, stainless bolts / steel body parts, the wheel hub / steel wheel (rust is a problem here) and the interface of the lug nuts and the wheel (it also seems to prevent wear where the lug nut bears up against the wheel).

Please note that this is not a good product to use where continuous heavy vibration is present.Some variant of threadlocker is better suited to that application.

I use this stuff on a daily basis, and it has saved me many fasteners that would have otherwise seized and broken off.I highly recommend it.

Sylvania 9006SU BP SilverStar Ultra High Performance Halogen Headlight - Pack of 2 Review

Sylvania 9006SU BP SilverStar Ultra High Performance Halogen Headlight - Pack of 2ALL the DOT-legal high output bulbs achieve higher output by overdriving the filiments, which reduces bulb life. They have to do this because the DOT puts limits on wattage. The only exception are HID and HIR bulbs, which use new technology to get more light out of less watts.

According to Sylvania:
"Since our SilverStar(r) ULTRA
headlights are up to 50% brighter than standard halogen, they will have
a shorter life span when compared to our other products. Part number
9005SU will last for approximately 125 hours of "on time", 200 hours for
part 9006SU."

For comparison, standard Halogens are rated at 1000/350 hours low/high.Use the S

If you want good lights on a 9006/9005 car, get some Toshiba 911 and 912 HIR bulbs. They'll cost you about $15 more than the Silverstars Ultras, put out more light... and last 5 times as long!

This operates with internal gas pressure which significantly reduces the rate of tungsten evaporation. Its analogous non-halogen incandescent lamp operates the same filament temperature with greater luminance and efficiency. This combined effect of higher pressure and the halogen cycle give halogen lamp much longer life.

FRAM PPA7597 Air Hog Panel Filter Review

FRAM PPA7597 Air Hog Panel FilterI typically purchase K&N filters for my vehicles, but for the price I decided to try it out since it looked to be a comparable product.All I can say is wow!If you ask me the construction of the Air Hog is better than K&N.It has a very nice rubber surrounding that gives the filter stability.Also the gasket fits the air housing perfectly.Normally with K&N you need to add an additional rubber stick-on gasket.

Permatex 24378 Non-Flammable Electrical Contact Cleaner Review

Permatex 24378 Non-Flammable Electrical Contact CleanerPermatex 24378

This is a rather large aerosol can considering how much is needed for a single switch or potentiometer. I don't think Permatex offers a smaller size. Most current consumer products don't have switches and pots that can conveniently cleaned with spray.

Permatex 82180 Ultra Black Maximum Oil Resistance RTV Silicone Gasket Maker - 3.35 oz. Review

Permatex 82180 Ultra Black Maximum Oil Resistance RTV Silicone Gasket Maker - 3.35 oz.I bought this in order to seal some parts of my car's valve cover mating surfaces.The shop I paid for the timing belt service to be done did not do a good job.Valve cover gasket never leaked before, it started leaking after they put a new gasket.Obviously they did not clean the mating surfaces.I did the job myself since I did not trust the mechanics at that particular shop.It does not leak now.
This product also helped me repair parts of glass molding (rubber parts around the rear glass) that started cracking, falling off.
All in all it is a great product and is worth the money.

Tracerline (TRATP8621) Complete A/C and Fluid Leak Detection Starter Kit Review

Tracerline Complete A/C and Fluid Leak Detection Starter KitI've only tried with the coolant, but it works great.
The tracer is more visible with the yellow glasses than without so for those that have a problem seeing it, it may be due to the fact that they need to enhance the viewing with the yellow glasses.
I got it for a coolant leak, so I don't know how it works for the oil and the AC, but for the coolant, it could not work better in my opinion. It is true that I have a garage and I can get total darkness.

Permatex 25072 Fast Orange Hand Cleaner Wipes Review

Permatex 25072 Fast Orange Hand Cleaner WipesAs a general rule, I like the Permatex line of Fast Orange products. I've used a few different brands of hand wipes in the garage and these are the best so far. These towels are strong enough to hold up to your caked on greasy, oily, dirty hands (unlike some others I've bought at the local auto parts store that are like a wet paper towel), and they are great for cleaning tools afterwards. I am having a hard time finding these in retail stores now, it is great to find that Amazon carries them!

Mastercool R12-to-R134a A/C Manifold Conversion KitPoor quality. High side fitting leaks. Box says "Economy Couplers".
Packaging is poor. Fittings shipped loose in a small box. Free to rattle around.Thousands of little nicks and scratches.Looks like an old, mistreated, worn out tool. A few threads are smashed. I shouldn't have even tried to use it.I don't think the damage all happened due to poor packaging because the fittings look bab even on the inside!

Heli-Coil 5523-14 14-1.25mm H-coil Thd Repair KitProduct discription states 30 each size for the Heli-Coil inserts, I got 30 total, only 6 for each length of insert.

This is what happens when you buy something on Amazon.com., no one is responsible for anything, and the buyer ends up taking it in the shorts.

Turtle Wax T-280RA Liquid Chrome Polish - 12 oz. Review

Turtle Wax T-280RA Liquid Chrome Polish - 12 oz.I used this product to shine up the rims and step bars on my ram 1500. It worked fairly decent on the bars, removing some of the rust and made them shine. On the rims however, it did an ok job. The rims are still not very shiny, and there is still rust on one of them. This product only works on rust that is barely there. I would say that you should get it if you want the shine to come back, but if you have a fair amount of rust, this is not the product to use.
