Building a Tool Chest? Craftsman Club Can Save You Money

It can be dauntingly expensive to put together your first set of mechanic’s tools. There are so many things to buy and each item can be so pricey. Some of the consumer stores sell starter kits that can save you some money (I prefer Craftsman anyway), but you’re still shelling out major cash. Every saved dollar can make you feel better. I was recently helping a friend put together her first tool kit and checked into the deals available at Sears through their Craftsman Club. If you join and watch the specials (in addition to the discounts you get just for being a member!) you can save some serious cash on what I consider to be the best entry level tools available. Check it out!

Overheating in Winter Weather Driving

You wouldn’t think of a perfectly healthy car or truck overheating while driving a snowy road, but it happens all the time. What can make a well maintained engine heat up like that? Driving in the snow can present problems to your car or truck outside of the obvious traction issues. In low temperatures, snow and ice can build up and actually clog your car’s cooling system. It doesn’t clog it from the inside, but rather blocks the air from flowing over the sytem from the outside. It’s important to keep your cooling system clean with a regular radiator flush, but don’t forget to simply clear the snow and ice from your front grill and underneath your bumper — that will keep cool air flowing where you need it most.
