    I could tell you a story about the last time I played in a hockey tournament there...the flight home was a bit rough for some of the passengers although I felt very relieved. [​IMG]

    Do any of you guys have suggestions for an angle grinder? I'm going to need one and debating just getting a Harbor Freight or maybe a Ryobi. Cheaper is better (not the best way to buy tools, but it will rarely get used), but I don't want a HF to crap out right away. I'll be using it for removing the hoops off my ARB and such.

    Ryobi's not bad. Makita are good. I would get a decent to good one as it will last you for ever. I use mine all the time. Its a Makita. I also have a Ryobi and a dewalt. but the dewalt the cord is cracked and the ryobl is a 7" and I have never used it.

    I would like to bleed the entire brake system (I have used a Motiv bleeder to flush the system). However, doing this doesn't address the ABS unit. You need the yota tool. There are alternatives but I'm not familiar enough with them. Like can you use a bluetooth OBDII with something like Torque? Which BT OBDII works best?

    Thanks.

    Ok cool, I'll go with one of those. I'll use it for may two or three projects right now and won't need it for a while so might as well try that one out. Thanks, the hoops on my ARB will soon be bye-bye with the help of one of those...

    to each his own but when I buy tools its for life. I have had many cheap tools fail and there is nothing worse then having to go buy a new tool right in the middle of a project. but as for an angle grinder is not a complex tool, but if your hard on it, it will break. a few of the tools that failed came from HF but I still buy things from them with the same mentality, I only need it for this one thing. lol as I get older I realize I will most likely use it again, if its something to do with my truck or house. now im just babbling but if it was me I would buy another Makita as it has been my favorite.
