We don't have either of those stores in my area.
 
I'm still surprised. After nearly 20 years in the tool business lending a tool is almost unheard of. I guess it's working for the stores that do.
 
It's not uncommon for a well equipped tech to have 40,000 or more invested in their personal tools.

The tool lenders are auto parts stores.. not auto repair facilities...
 
That's how they get people to buy the parts.. An auto repair facility would put themselves out of business, if they did that..
 
Plus, without loaning tools, they'd never sell a MacPherson strut...

"Duck tape is great for repairing a split radiator hose"
Also good for repairing ducks...
 
P.S. it's duct tape.

I just thought of this, jipster has a Mazda. I wonder if he痴 listening?
 
Yeah, I am now. Just woke up from a little extra "handsome sleep". Seems to be working fairly well.
 
Uhh, not sure what the "Mazda reference is all about. I do have a Mazda MPV, but my son is only 6 years old. Are you suggesting I let him do my brake work?

No, I understood that. I just didn't realize parts stores loaned tools. We used to have to RENT specialized tools from the rental places.
 
Anyone changing a Mc Pherson strut had better know what they are doing special tool or not. A flying spring can bust a guys head like a melon.
 
Almost as much fun as the old split rims could be.
 
I've seen it all and it isn't pretty!

Well...yeah. With the right tools I'm sure he could do it as long as you didn't get in his way and mess him up.

Is that right? When do you want me to repair your duck?

Why a duck? Why a no chicken?
 
Name that tune.
