EDITOR’S CORNER


So much going on… Thanksgiving feasts, tree-lighting ceremonies, visiting relatives…I guess this what we expect for the holiday season.

I suspect most of us have their cars tucked away for the season and maybe thinking on what new tools you’ll need as Christmas presents this year. I for one have my eye on some basic tools that I have gone without for too long. Crescent wrenches, 15in breaker bar, additional 3/8” socket wrenches, socket holders, etc. Never have enough tools for a project, right? A few years ago, I sprang for a number of air tools, and they came in handy – always looking for a way to make a repair more enjoyable. Speaking of enjoyable, it’s time to get back to my Hot Toddy and tools catalog….

Lots of articles this month see the listing below…

See you on the road.
