  • Weber/Prolift Tire Balancing Machine – Experience

    Hello, I bought a tire balancing machine yesterday from the company Pro Lift and would like to share my experience with others. This is probably the same as with the company Weber, looks absolutely the same. I installed everything yesterday and immediately emptied it out. I want to say directly that I am not a car driver. I am a mechanical engineer from work. Cars are my hobby. I repair everything myself and have gained a little experience in the last 20 years. I always wanted to have a balancing machine, because Ertsens I wanted to do it myself and I just don’t have to wait for appointments. That’s why I was looking for a cheap balancing machine. I also read the posts here in the forum, where the cheap plants were often declared as scrap. But since I didn’t want to buy a system for 1000 euros for the garage, I decided to simply recreate it. The Weber machine costs 499 euros. The condition is very simple and is almost the same as with all the systems. However, the description manual is kept very simple. I checked the strength results in various ways, because I was also skeptical at the beginning whether this would really work so well. I had a wheel balanced out in the factory state last week and knew that it was definitely fine. I calibrated the machine first and then the wheel. The result was 2 grams of deviation on both sides. Then I took another wheel, the places where the weights were marked on it, the weights were taken off and balanced. The result was that the machine showed me the same places with almost the same weights. The deviation again 2-3 grams. As the last test I first examined the aluminium wheels from the in-law and then my steel wheels. Then the father-in-law drove home and I also made a test. efahrt. I accelerated up to 210 km/h and did not have any vibrations. The Schwiger father also drove 160-170 ud no vibrations. So I can recommend this system for hobby screwdrivers absolutely. Works very well and takes up very little space. Also briefly why I decided to communicate my experience. I was very much unsure of the many comentas, where the people have put down the favorable systems, although none in the Befahrt. I realize that one for 2000 euros is absolute non plus ultra. But for the garage such one to buy would be absolutely absurd. Very expensive (a lot of money) and they are also a lot bigger of dimensions. So take away a lot of space. Both I do not have in abundance. Therefore here my experience for all those who are looking for such a hobby garage. Add a couple of pictures of the facility. Greeting to all

  • Slim ratchet in 1/2 3/8 1/4 Which would you take ?

    Hello, I have this well-known KStools ratchet box https://www.ebay.de/…/201096616938?… I’ve been using it for a long time now and I’m really happy with it. I want to exchange all 3 ratchets for possible slimy ratchets now. The ratchets that are original in there are too clumsy for me. I found only these in the net:https://www.ktools.com/…/2-slimpower-turnknar-72-tooths There are in all 3 sizes for 70 euro together. Slim Power Ratchet ?? Does anyone have a different recommendation ( Should be possible Slim, MUST not be from KS tools !! ) Merci.

  • Where to weld exhaust possible?

    Hello, I have found /no/ suitable forum area, therefore here. I have a crack on 2 exhaust pots at a weld seam. In a few months I have TüV. A pot would cost /500/ Euro that times 2 :-))) I would like to have the seam welded. Not by a forest and meadow man but by one of the masters. Does anyone have an idea where I could find such a welder? Could I ask at a workshop of another group? Do the group workshops or verka Are the only new exhausts available? Would that make a free workshop or not all? Would that be welded with protective gas or with gas? If the exhaust would be removed and installed, what could that cost? Thank you.

  • Power shaft tool trolleys / workshop trolleys

    Since I have been thinking about the purchase of a tool cart several times lately, I have already discovered some of them during the research. In the WWW, which of the brand Kraftwelle ran over my way. Has someone already been able to gather experiences for the named brand, or can someone give relevant information? I am especially interested in the quality of course. This model has especially impressed me. Ps. Other models with similar equipment (especially the large Ratschenringsc of course also can be linked.

  • FI switch always jumps rauss!

    Hello, the FI switch always jumps immediately when I turn on my new polishing machine. At the seller it worked perfectly, so it can only be due to my home electrics. But what pictures are in:

  • LED working lamp searched

    Moin, I’m looking for an LED lamp for the local tinkering. Since it gets dark already at 16 o’clock and I don’t have a garage… well, it’s just crap. Unfortunately, there doesn’t seem to be a lamp that meets my requirements. I’d like: Magnetic foot LED battery (so no AA or AAA) “angle adjustment” or whatever the technical word is. What I don’t want/use is: Different light or flash modes Headband Other Firefance This may sound a bit funny now. n, but so far I have only found lamps that then have four different light modes, then another half fir tree… I don’t need, I just hate to pay for it. I have already seen the LEDinspect per series of Osram, but would like another alternative. Greeting and stay healthy.

  • 5 liter engine cleaner for 1 Euro

    Source Kenya Speed Shop Kenya training initiative:https://youtu.be/nZhdJeq5SD8?t=193 – white/cheap vinegar 0.7l or acetic acid/essenze suitable dilute – water (filling up to 5 liters of canister is almost full) – soda 100 g (6kg at Ebay cost 11 EUR incl. shipping – 3-4 TL detergent – 1-2 TL thinner The cleaner seems to do for everything in the area of grease/oil/lubric, even the paws are thus clean, plastic is probably not attacked. Allbad. How long can you let the aluminum parts bath inside I don’t know – if you don’t do it in the ultrasonic bath.

  • Sealing mass sought – am in the middle of an AHK assembly

    Hello! I’m just about to mount a Brink BMA AHK on my Megane III (3333/ASJ) because the old AHK is gone. Because the assembly instruction is bad, it was also forgotten in the front of the list that you need (obvious) sealing mass The hole you have to cut with a scissors for the sheets you put into the car is wg. the old AHK too big. So it’s about the hole what you need in https://www.kfzteile24.de/images/articles/full/0106/512670.PDF in step 9 looks (is as big as the hole in the sheet) or the bonding is in step 12. For me, this just looks as if it is about the distance between the inserted sheet and the plate that one screwed with the 3 nuts that were present at the vehicle. So that was also with the old AHK probably no water stuck in the cavity. Bzw. the strange is that such a bonding at the place IMHO makes no sense, because the sheet is only screwed in step 13-15 at all?! Here There would be an ATU and a toom. Can one use UHU POLY MAX EXPRESS in good conscience? I would have a pistol to use silicone cartridges & co. reasonably. Thanks! notting
