    Way back when, when I was a tech, my wallet would cringe when the Snap On and MAC guys would roll up to the shop.... Thank goodness they had interest free credit back then. I guess the plus side is my children will inherit really cool tools.

    Side note: do you do alignments on non German cars?

    I don't have an alignment machine, but the guy next door does. If you need one I can get you in there for a pretty good price. A decent alignment machine, lift and all runs in the 70K range. Um... no. Wife would kill me, or divorce me, or both.

    ETA: What I really need to do is convince the Snap On guy to just call me for my weekly payments. When he stops by I walk on the truck and walk out with stuff in my hands. Not sustainable.

    I hope to have the cash flow to justify another lift by the middle of summer.

    Are the Snap On wheel balancers better than the COATS balencers these days... I know the Snap On has always been more expensive but in the past they weren't any better--- circa pre-2000
    I say lets all remove the warning labels and let nature take its course.

    Should I bring the truck and new tires by tomorrow so you can test it out?

    This one is pretty top of the line as far as I can tell. Never played with one before. It will tire to rim match for better balance. It will hid sticky weights behind the spokes. I have one of my wheels on there now but I haven't ordered any wheel weights yet so I am just playing more then anything. My tires do need balancing though so I will be ordering some weights and knocking that out tomorrow or Friday.
