What did you buy today?

It looks like we lost the original thread, so let’s get it going again.
I’ll start :

I picked this up at Home Depot today. It was on sale for $29.99 (tool only).

While we didn't get great service out of the last one (same unit / model), purchased this to replace today.

Also pulled the trigger on this wheel wash brush, hope it makes the Ram / PP2 wheels easier to clean.

Finally got a few minutes to pick this up last week. It's a 16 x 7 Mission Hybrid all aluminum sled trailer. Super light n pulls like a wet dream, really looking forward to next winter.

Sleds load staggered which is why 7' wide works (also means sorta fits down the driveway). At a hair over 1200lbs it's pretty light. We just need to add ski guides and track mats n she's ready to roll.

I have a 120" track you can have if you want to cut it up and go that way.

Bought a bench belt sander to true up the flanges on the headers. RYobi was $148 at Home Depot, every other sander costs more for some reason. 80 grit worked extremely well. Didn’t have to take off too much material. Both flanges are flat. Used 2 different levels and a flat MDF board to check. Won’t have exhaust leaks plus I’ll be using MAHLE multi steel gaskets.

That will be nice.

I’ve been meaning to pick up a stud alignment set they also make life easier with euro wheel bolts.

It is great. I recommend it. I bought it from www.motorsporthardware.com. I just upgraded the nuts and got them today. Super fast service and reasonably priced.
I have a wheel stud hanger that I bought before but just didn’t quite work for me. Your car is an F30 3 series as I recall? I would buy a single M14x1.25 stud hanger which is cheaper than buying a kit. I bought mine on Amazon as well.

I've had that same one for 4-5 years now, works great as a fluid evacuator too.

For brake bleeding, a little teflon tape on the bleeder threads really helps.

wouldn't you have to pull the bleeder screw right out to get the teflon tape on the threads?
By then, gravity will have mostly bled the brakes for you ;)

That’s a good idea. I actually put some Sil Glyde around the top thread, not on the thread, so that air can’t get through when bleeding since the vacuum can pull air out of the hole.

Picked up these flex head Gear wrenches from CTC for 119 bucks. Can't really go wrong with Mastercraft Maximum for that price.

Also got these in Metric and SAE for 35 bucks each while I was in CTC.
