[Sorry, but not sorry]

I was going through this forum and this happened... (the error message). LOOLL...didn't know there was a limit. I guess some stereotypes are inherently true.

[Sorry I haven't been around]

For any of you guys that want to build a PC and make sure you get compatible components the first time, this site really helped me when I built my desktop... https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/. It has price comparison and everything. Sometimes the prices don't update immediately, but it's definitely a life saver. Especially since some places won't let you return opened PC parts

[Hello from Toronto]

Welcome! I used to love working on cars. Then I had to sell my Camaro for a mini van and well you know the story.

 

I definitely respect that. I'm a firm believer in doing whatever it takes for family. One of the main reasons why I don't have a nice car, and work on my friends' cars

[Thoughts on Made in America/Canada vs. Overseas]

Hey guys,

 

I just wanted to know what you guys think about made in America/Canada vs overseas. I know that it's more likely to be better quality when made domestically, but I would think companies such as Milwaukee would still have good quality products even if made overseas since they have a 5 year warranty. 

 

In the case similar to Milwaukee (where companies have good warranties), I would rather have the products made overseas since it would be a lot cheaper for us (the consumer). 

 

But looking at it from the economy viewpoint, I obviously would rather have them make it domestically since there'd be more jobs which equals a better economy. 

 

What are your thoughts on this topic?

[Hello from Toronto]

Thanks guys

Vendoanz33 welcome to the forum I also love working on cars and have been more involved with the mechanical side at the shop lately, I always have worked on cars with my gramps but I mostly paint and do body work but since I got into milwaukees impact wrenches I've been looking for any opportunity to use them

I've got to say...I love doing bodywork. I took an introductory course here at a technical college and it was amazing.

And I know what you mean. I used their impact driver and I've been a Milwaukee fanboy ever since. Only thing I wish they had are the shadowless lights

[Stud Finder]

Hey guys,

 

I'm looking into getting a good stud finder (max $50). I need one that can also detect metal pipes, electrical etc. 

 

I've been eyeing either the Zircon hd900 or the L550 but I don't know if it's worth the cost. What do you guys think?

 

I know there is a thread already about stud finders, but the recommendations from that thread can only detect studs.

 

Thanks in advance.

[Hello from Toronto]

Hey guys,

 

Finally decided to man up and join this forum but I've been suscribed to TIA on YouTube for a couple of years now. I love tools and I love cars, but I can't afford both since I'm a college student lol. 

 

Since an early age I always loved cars, but my love of tools is pretty recent. My love of tools started when started working at a Tool & Die place during my first year of college (3 years ago), and it's been an addiction ever since.

 

I know I'll get some good insight from all you guys on the forum, and hopefully I can give some (about tools from Canada--aka Mastercraft). 

 

I gotta say my favourite (and yes with a "u" cuz Canada) video so far has to be the ballers on a budget one since it has the most to do with what I do (a DIY mechanic).

 

Would love to see some more videos related to us DIY/advanced DIY mechanics.
