And even on jack stands I just don't think the work would be all that enjoyable unless the car was on a lift, just my 2 cents.
Thanks OC that a was a gracious response. Good point about having tools you'll only use once or twice. I have several cars and the tools get used to make them worth while so that definitely makes a difference. I was fortunate that my wife made me build a garage big enough to work on vehicles. I'm so tight I would still be working on the cars and farm equipment out in the sun, rain, snow, mud, ice if it had not been for her. I've learned the benefits of using air tools to do repairs. Speeds the process up tremendously and makes the job considerably easier. I failed to recognize we don't all have the shop and tools to make these jobs much easier. I need to count my blessings.
