Blow a Fuse? Don’t Sweat It!

If you suddenly find yourself in a lights-out situation, or the music seems to stop for no reason, you may have blown a fuse. Your fuses are meant to protect your car or truck’s electrical system from damage due to overloads or short circuits, so if you have a fuse that blows regularly, you need to take a look at your electrical system. Sometimes a fuse will blow for no terrible reason, in which case you can simply replace the fuse. Be sure to check ahead of time so you can buy the right replacement fuses!

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!
