Definitely cordless. I have the one I posted, and a bigger one that's 18V and enough power to zip off lug nuts with ease. I carry my bigger one to the track to make swapping to DRs quick and easy. I have air tools for stubborn bolts, but these cordless ones I use most of the time.

Some wheels they fit some they don't. Just depends on the wheel. For the ones that don't fit you get aftermarket ones.

this is the valve core tool (top right tip is wat you use to torque down the core if it's leaking).

Guys - I've got a spare, so no delete option. I also have one of those tools. I checked the valve stem last night, and nothing was leaking from there.

I should be getting a call in a few minutes from the wifey that the rim and new tire are safely in the back of her MDX.

Just got back into the office from a nice work out break. Feeling gooooood

Thinking of plastidiping my rear valance. I only have one question though since I've never used the stuff. How are people doing the edges with plastidip? Do you have to cut it with something?

i think mr. alchemy did his...

he should have info.

i think you'd want to use e-tape as your masking tape on the very edge and use a sharp razor to cut while you lift/peel the e-tape back.

btw MAKE ABSOULTELY SURE you mask the rest of your car and dont park your other car in the garage while doing so. the overspray is NASTY!

razors next to my car scare me

i would do the matte one for the rear and paint the very bottom of the bumper afterwards.
