He's working in Houma at Delta World Tire.


If any of you come to Houma to get an alignment, let me know. We can hang out. Maybe get some lunch or dinner.

A nice low profile car jack is easy. I got a good one for 125$ from orielly's. As for cordless impact gun usually the more volts the better but i use a air compressor for my impact.

Check Home Depot, my guys really like the Ryobi. They use them here at the shop, and they last. I would look at nothing less then 18 volts.

You can get a low aluminum jack at harbor freight for about $80.

We have a couple at the shop from Harbor Freight, and we use them daily. Bang for the buck, they are pretty good, and they offer extended warranty on them for a good price.

The cheap ones (<$100) will last your about a year or two depending on how often you use it. I use mine a couple times a month switching wheels for autocrosses. The biggest problem is battery life and the ability to hold a charge. You have to buy the high dollar ones (Dewalt, Milwalkee) if you want something you're going to use a lot and you expect to last a long time. If you watch, you can find one on sale for $200, normally they're in the over-$200 range.

I ultimately found a Craftsman air powered impact wrench for $20 (50% off sale FTW) and it's been working great for removing lug nuts.

In addition to the Harbor Freight jack, there's a Craftsman low alum. jack that you can catch on sale for around $150. The $80 HF jack is good buth they have a better one for around $120. Like anything else, it all depends on how often you use it and how hard you abuse it.
