    Just got this beast yesterday.



    Had to lug it down the stairs to the basement. Sunex 1000lbs. capacity geared engine stand, got on Summits for $100 cheaper than anywhere else. Works awesome and makes turning the engine that much easier.

      I just had my Modis updated on Friday. Do you like yours?
      The snapon cart is setup to use as a modis "dock", its got a grommet in the back to run all the charge cables etc..

      wish I had a modis to put in there though....

        If Lugging the Stand downstairs was bad, How'd you get the engine down there?

            I just bought a set of GearWrench ratchets and Matco 88 tooth rebuild kits to go inside them. Using my buddy's Snap On ratchets made me finally realize I need to upgrade.

            '91 318is - OBD-II S52 swapped - E30 M3 5-lug - 5x120 BBS RC090 (E39 Style 5) - TCK D/A coilovers 550/700 [SOLD]
            '87 535i - Vacuum brake conversion [SOLD]
            '93 525iT - 5-speed swap - 320k and counting
            '09 328xi - 6-speed

              The gearwrench ratchets have the same head as matco? matco was using the same head as craftsman for a while.. good to know.


              The snapon fine tooth ratchets are nice.. but they are made in china, and ive seen the flex head pins wear out very quickly

              check out proto ratchets. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Proto...item41590a629b great fine tooth mechanisms on these style ratchets (although they are easily switched to reverse if you touch the reverse lever, this part sucks) they were also sold with MACs name on them for a while (they are sister companies) so my mac guy can still get me free rebuild parts when/if it strips out

                Yes, apparently the 60 tooth versions are a direct swap to the 88 tooth Matco because they're both made by Danaher.

                    Thought Id share a picture of my garage sale find today! $20!

                    It swivels on its base, and can even tilt to the side! I got all the mounting hardware too.

                        $20 for the vice Josh!

                        Also I got a really clean DeWalt random orbit palm snader with a bunch of pads and box for $15.

                        And a Valvoline Oil Filter wrench for $2
