I've all kinds of stuff...

all kinds of motor stuff, building, rebuilding, everything from carb to oil pan and everything in between...

Rear end work,
Body work,
Welding...

The only thing I aint never touched was anything with the computer (fuck that) and painting... But I have done some body prep...

I've restored cars and fixed cars and done a little bit on making cars go fast :)

yeah thats it, if im taking out a tire it recharges after 5 lug nuts. doesnt run out though, when theres a nut or bolt thats torqued down more than 100 ft lbs it will hesitate a little than will take it off quick. i guess if ur taking shit off like in nascar it will run out in a second but for i use it for it works just fine. saved my back from using the breaker bar so much. and it was free :banana:

I've done gears... BUT! It was on an old POS truck... so the tolerances didnt matter as much...

I wouldn't touch a daily driver OR any kind of performance vehicle

Yes... it can suck at times... especially when you have a car that has a much rust as metal and you have to restore it... You start to lose motivation and get lazy... lol
