From classic car myths to pressure washer hacks and the best tool brands, this episode of Drive Radio covers it all. The team debates Milwaukee vs. DeWalt, shares a clever pressure washing trick, and takes listener questions on EV cooling systems, tool must-haves, and more!
SPEAKER 28 :
Being an expert on general automotive knowledge, what would the correct ignition timing be on a 1955 Bel Air Chevrolet with a 327 cubic inch engine and a four-barrel carburetor?
SPEAKER 24 :
It is a trick question. Watch this. The Chevy didn’t make a 327 in 55. The 327 didn’t come out till 62. And it wasn’t offered in the Bel Air with a four-barrel carb till 64. However, in 1964, the correct ignition timing would be four degrees before top dead center.
SPEAKER 29 :
Get ready for another hour of Drive Radio, brought to you by Colorado’s select auto care centers. Got a question for the experts? Then give them a call, 303-477-5600. Now it’s time to pop the hood and get our hands dirty. Drive Radio on KLZ 560, The Source.
SPEAKER 08 :
All right, we are back. Myself, Ken Rackley, Tunetech Automotive. Mark Guernsey is also here. He’s going to go do something in another room here for just a few minutes and do a little recording for his commercials, which we appreciate Mark greatly accountable. You can find both of them at drive-radio.com. And somebody texted in and said, Hey, my wife would really appreciate if you guys would stop talking about tools because I’ve spent over $300 and I’m not even done with my coffee yet. I hear you. Sorry for doing that, but we’re all tool junkies, so it is what it is. Tony, you are back. Go ahead. Finish up, sir.
SPEAKER 20 :
Yeah, I wanted to ask you another question about pressure washers. Do you know of anybody that has an affordable one that also heats the water?
SPEAKER 08 :
No. If you want heated water, you’re looking at more of a – the brand is Hotsy, and that’s a trademark name, but we all call them Hotsys, but they’re a hot water pressure washer. Yeah, they have to have a burner. Now, one thing you can do, and I will do this at home, even though I have a Hotsy, I’ll sometimes cheat if I want to do something fairly quickly. You can buy some of the lesser expensive, and I actually own a plug-in Ryobi, They’re about $100 at Home Depot. They put out about 2,000 PSI, and if you’re just going to use it to wash the floor in your garage or do whatever, and then the trick, Tony, that I do, because they’re all rated for enough temperature you can do this, you can just run hot water through it. Now, it won’t be as hot as what you would get coming out of a hot water washer, like a hot seat, but it does get, you know, whatever your temperature coming out of the faucet would be, you could run that until you run out of hot water from your tank or whatever. You could do that very easily.
SPEAKER 14 :
And you would be flushing your hot water heater at the same time.
SPEAKER 08 :
Doesn’t hurt at all.
SPEAKER 14 :
Yep, exactly.
SPEAKER 08 :
No, absolutely. So that’s one trick, Tony, is you can run in most cases. You’ve got to look at the label and look at the specs on your pressure washer. Most of them will run up to about 120 PSI in with no problem whatsoever. 120 temperature, I should say, and not PSI, but 120 temperature on the inlet and not have any issues.
SPEAKER 20 :
Okay, and then on to that tool stuff. Did you say Milwaukee was the brand that you would get to have the charger, just one charger?
SPEAKER 08 :
Well, I’ve kind of become a Milwaukee junkie just because my boys got me buying that years ago, and I like their products. Personally, I think they’re the snap-on of that power tool end of things, and frankly, they’ve even gotten into some of what snap-on sells in regards to screwdrivers and wrenches and so on. And for around the home use, it’s actually probably more than what even most homeowners need. Honestly, Tony, most homeowners, you could get into the Ryobi line of tools, and for the majority of homeowners, find everything you need to be very satisfactory. Nothing wrong at all with the Ryobi lineup. Again, I just happen because I’m a tool junkie and… My boys started me down. Originally, I was a Makita guy and had been for years and years and years and still have Makita stuff kicking around my shop. But I’ve slowly but surely converting over to Milwaukee.
SPEAKER 14 :
And look at the line that they have and what you’re going to be doing with it. Is it all automotive or does it go into the yard stuff? Correct. What all do they cover? And most of the products, not Milwaukee, I don’t think they go into the yard products.
SPEAKER 08 :
Not very much. They’ve got some backpack blowers and things like that. But typically they’re going to be more for that carpenter slash mechanic slash machinist slash whatever, Tony. And that’s kind of why I’ve gravitated towards the Milwaukee brand because that’s what I do more of.
SPEAKER 14 :
But like the DeWalt, they go into weeders. They’re everything. Right, exactly.
SPEAKER 08 :
They do it all. And Ryobi, same thing, Tony. They do backpack blowers and handheld blowers and mowers and the whole nine yards. Ken’s right. And this is for all of you listening. Sit down and kind of figure out what all am I going to be doing with all of these tools and what platform do I want. Now, this is something true even inside of each brand, Tony, whether it be DeWalt, Milwaukee, Makita, and so on. Depending upon the voltage of the tool that you’re using and buying, they will have multiple chargers and or battery uses, I guess I could say, or tools that take different batteries throughout their lineup. Now, some of them, which, again, I like Milwaukee, they’ve actually got a dual charger. So you can buy one charger and charge either 18 or 12 volt at the same time, one charger. Right. Which makes it really nice. Yeah.
SPEAKER 20 :
Yeah, that sounds real good. That’s pretty much all I’ve got there.
SPEAKER 08 :
No, great questions. Thank you, Tony.
SPEAKER 14 :
Very, very good questions. And with cordless tools, too, you know, I mean, you can have four batteries and power 20 tools. And that’s the thing with, that’s why you want to look at what all is.
SPEAKER 08 :
Yes.
SPEAKER 14 :
Because, I mean, if you buy every tool with a battery.
SPEAKER 08 :
You don’t need a battery for every tool.
SPEAKER 14 :
Right, exactly.
SPEAKER 08 :
Here’s the thing. You’re typically using maybe two tools at a time.
SPEAKER 14 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 08 :
So you’re having to have a battery for each tool. It really comes down to do I need three or four batteries in stock on each and what type even? Because that’s the other thing, too, to look at when it comes to batteries. This is true with all the lineups, including Milwaukee. Batteries aren’t equal.
SPEAKER 14 :
No, they are not.
SPEAKER 08 :
Some are going to have a lower amp. Then other ones will, and you need to look at that.
SPEAKER 14 :
And the lower amperage is going to be lighter. So if you’re using something all day, every day.
SPEAKER 08 :
You may want that lighter one.
SPEAKER 14 :
Or you might want the heavier one to last all day. Correct. Or if you’re running a blower that’s constantly pulling power, you need that bigger battery.
SPEAKER 08 :
Like my vacuum, I like using the heavier battery for the vacuum for that reason. Yeah, it doesn’t deplete it as quickly. Correct. So, again, you need to look at all these things when you’re deciding what you want to do power tool-wise, folks, because it’s not, I hate to say this, it’s not a one-size-fits-all. And the one thing I also want to get back to, like I was talking even in Fix-It Radio is, lastly, you don’t want 15 chargers kicking around the house or the shop. If you can minimize that to one or two or three at most, that’s what you’re better off doing. So, Steve, you’re next. Go ahead. Good morning. Good morning, Steve.
SPEAKER 17 :
Good. Quick answer. The best tool is the one that works that I’ve got.
SPEAKER 08 :
Yeah. Well, you know, you bring up a great point, not to be, you know, sort of funny, but not on the same token, Steve. It really comes down to you. What do you like? What are you using it for? And I’ve known guys, Steve, that even have multiple chargers, and they’ve got them all mounted to the wall. They know where each one’s at, and they’re good with that. So it teaches on.
SPEAKER 17 :
Exactly. Yeah. Well, to go Jurassic Dino on you, the one I use the most is a fantastic snap-on screwdriver, and it’s got all these bits in there for different sizes. Sure. Torx. That is the most useful. Does it ratchet as well? It does not.
SPEAKER 08 :
Some of the later ones, I’ve got several of those even where they ratchet even.
SPEAKER 11 :
I carry one of those with me. By the way, I don’t loan them out anymore because they don’t come back. No, no, no. They never did.
SPEAKER 08 :
These are my tools.
SPEAKER 11 :
No, they’re not for loaning. Right, exactly. Anyway, quick question.
SPEAKER 17 :
For your sage advice, track down the official Mercedes coolant for the Weiss-Benz and the Xerox product made by Babylonian. I noticed it said on it, that it was also good for Tesla. And I thought, man, I’m missing something. Do they have a cooling system? Oh, yeah.
SPEAKER 14 :
Yeah, the Teslas have all electrics, EVs. Yeah, they have some type of cooling system because they have to cool the batteries.
SPEAKER 08 :
All EVs have a cooling system. The batteries have to be cooled, Steve. In some cases, more than one, depending upon what they’re doing.
SPEAKER 15 :
Yeah, right.
SPEAKER 17 :
Well, that’s not working too well with all the EV fires, including bikes, tools, you name it. Right. Anyway, some address later on may have already is for a question of the day. What cars did you used to have, you were talked into getting rid of, do you really wish you’d kept that are worth a heck of a lot more money now?
SPEAKER 08 :
For me, and I’ve had some, you know, I’ve had numerous ones over the years, but I will… probably have to admit early early blazer slash jimmy and bronco for me were two that you look at what today’s prices are and knowing what i owned at one time yeah those are the ones i really missed the boat on oh yeah one of those broncos sitting across the street with a neighbor and he’s keeping it for a good reason yeah but i mean in my can’t blame him yeah in my case it’s uh early mustangs convertibles two plus twos in the 60s
SPEAKER 17 :
And, you know, I just wish I kept those things. I got talked out of getting rid of them. But, you know, those things are really going for a bunch of money now. Yep, sure are. Takes a lot to keep them worth anything, too. Quick sidebar. I know it’s kind of off topic. We had talked a little while back on your show on Rush to Reason about this class action plaintiff lawsuit on controllers that applied, done really well on the exam, and got turned down. because they wanted more minority hires. That was 1,000. A couple days ago, I listened to the lead plaintiff attorney with Mountain States Legal, St. Jack Phillips Bakery, going to the SCOTUS, et cetera. It’s actually 2,500, which is pretty much near the controller shortage they have. So it will be interesting to see how that thing works out. But anyone who feels so motivated… You know, go check them out. It’s legal. Gotcha. Because they’re doing some great work. Gotcha. They’re doing some great work. Gotcha. Have a great weekend.
SPEAKER 08 :
Very cool. Steve, appreciate you very much. Have a great rest of your day. And you know what? Let’s do this. Ed, I want to give you plenty of time. Hang tight. We’ll come right back. We’ve got lines open, by the way, 303-477-5600. Give us a call. We’ll get you right on air. Drive Radio, KLZ 560.

SPEAKER 03 :
Here’s why you need personal injury attorney Kevin Flesch on your side. He understands the way the jury thinks. In the context of a personal injury case, you’ve been hurt by someone else’s negligence. The idea is that you’re going to try to recover so that you can get back to where you were just prior to that incident occurring. What that really means from a jurist’s perspective is that you’re going to be asking them to award you money. So when we talk about fairness, we’re talking about six people that you don’t know. Those six people view the evidence and make a unanimous decision that will decide what the fair value is. When you’re the one who’s hurt, you have a good idea of what you think it’s worth. The question is, can you persuade those other individuals whom you don’t know and were witnesses to believe that’s what the case is worth? Kevin Flesch understands the way the jury thinks.

SPEAKER 08 :
All right, we are back. Drive Radio, KLZ 560. Ed in Los Animas, you are next.
SPEAKER 19 :
Yeah, I have a 2024 Trailblazer Chevrolet three-cylinder turbo, and it’s only got 3,000 miles on it. But when it comes to a stop sign, it takes off, it flutters. Now, what would cause that?
SPEAKER 10 :
Define flutter.
SPEAKER 19 :
Yeah, it kind of vibrates, you know, like it’s stalling a little bit before it takes off when I let off the brake. Kind of like a hesitation? Yeah, it hesitates before it takes off. I mean, it gives a little jump, you know, like it’s flooding or something.
SPEAKER 14 :
Yeah, really weird. No lights coming on on the dash or anything?
SPEAKER 19 :
No, no. So it’s got 3,000 miles on it, and I was wondering why it started doing it after 1,000 miles. No clue. Huh.
SPEAKER 14 :
I wonder if there’s a service bulletin or something that’s come out on that.
SPEAKER 08 :
That one’s still under warranty, so I’d roll that one back in and just have them look at it, Ed.
SPEAKER 14 :
Being a three-cylinder, yeah, it’s kind of a new product and stuff. So, yeah, it’s kind of hard to say if maybe there’s something.
SPEAKER 08 :
I’ve driven one of those in the past as a test car, Ed, and didn’t notice that at all on that. So I’m not saying that’s universal because I’ve driven one of those with more miles than that on it when I drove it and didn’t have any problems.
SPEAKER 19 :
Yeah, that thing, as fast as a race car, runs perfect and all that. When you come to a stop sign, when you run off the brake, it kind of, you know, splutters a little bit.
SPEAKER 14 :
Yeah, that’s very peculiar.
SPEAKER 08 :
It is very peculiar.
SPEAKER 14 :
Yeah. Well, I just want to add to that.
SPEAKER 08 :
I’m going to take it in just as soon as we get it in. Yeah, I would. I would roll that in and have somebody take a peek at it.
SPEAKER 19 :
Okay, well, I just warned them, like I say, I bought a car to keep them working on them. I don’t blame you.
SPEAKER 14 :
Now you’ve got an issue.
SPEAKER 10 :
Absolutely. Just call us back in a couple weeks and let us know what they found. It’s interesting.
SPEAKER 19 :
Yeah, you told me about that Chevrolet Turbo. It is a good car. I mean, that thing has as much power as a race car. Yeah, turbos make that.
SPEAKER 08 :
Yeah, it makes up the difference in air. Well, you have a little more air than we have down there, but still don’t have enough.
SPEAKER 19 :
Yeah. Yeah, it’s a fast devil. Okay, what I’ll do is run it in and find out what it is, and I’ll call you back and let you know so you have an idea.
SPEAKER 08 :
Well, that sounds great. If anybody else does call. We’d appreciate that.
SPEAKER 1 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 19 :
All right, my little friend. I really appreciate it.
SPEAKER 08 :
Ed, thank you so much, and congratulations on buying a new car. He was struggling with a… a couple of his older ones, so I don’t blame him for doing that. So, you know, good job. And, yeah, to Mark’s point, give us an update on what you find. And, again, I’ve driven one of those on a couple of different occasions and didn’t notice anything around that end of things. So, again, who knows? Now, one thing, I didn’t think about this, Ed, if you’re still listening, fuel. You know, on a turbo car especially, be careful of the fuel that you’re using. You want to use, you know, a top tier, in some cases a higher octane fuel depending upon, your needs, how you’re driving it, and so on. And that’s one of those things where on all cars, but those especially, run the different grades through it, figure out where your fuel economy is, and you might find out running a mid- or upper-grade fuel gets you better economy, and in the end, you’re not spending any more money. You have a little bit more. And have more performance at the same time while you’re doing that. So play around with that a little bit, Ed, if you’re still listening, and see how that goes as well. Because, yeah, that can actually, believe it or not, you can sometimes get better economy out of the upper grades. And at the end of the day, you’re not spending any more money, and you’re getting better fuel at the same time in doing so. All right, a couple lines open. 303-477-5600. 303-477-5600. Do I need to take this next call, by the way? Tom, okay, we’ll do that. Tom, you’re up next. Go ahead.
SPEAKER 18 :
Oh, hi there. You were talking about cooling systems on the EV-type vehicles. I had a situation. My gas-powered car had to be towed in during that cold snap, and while I was at the dealership, there was quite a few EVs in the staging area, and… When I got in to talk to the service tech, he said, yeah, we’ve had quite a few EVs being towed in. And the tow driver from my car said, yeah, he says, I just got done towing an EV. And, you know, I’m just wondering, he made the comment that, you know, with the cold weather, the distance range ability, he said, yeah, if you’re up in the mountains and it’s like 10 degrees out, he says… you might have a problem after 40 miles.
SPEAKER 08 :
Oh, he’s off on that. If you’ve got a full charge, now that depends on how somebody gauged themselves getting up there and back, and that I can understand and where he would say that. But if you have a full charge, and most EVs today will give you 250,000, plus in miles, some going all the way up to, you know, some of the trucks will go all the way up to 400 plus. Now, that’s when it’s warm, nice temperatures, easy flat driving, and so on. Keep in mind, going uphill, just like anything else, is going to degrade battery life. Going downhill, of course, does some regeneration, but not enough to make up for what you did going uphill. And typically speaking, Tom, you’re losing about 30% of whatever that battery uh distance is so whatever that range is you’re typically going to lose about 30 when the weather gets below about 25 degrees or so and as it gets colder and colder that can have a tendency to get worse now with all that being said Some EV manufacturers, i.e. Tesla, do a better job of warming their battery up, thereby keeping some of that range up in cold weather. Won’t be still as good as what it would be if it was warm out, but typically better than some of its competitors are because they’ve got a better way of warming things up and getting that longevity out of it range-wise than what some of the others. But there’s some EVs out there, literally, Tom, that when it gets super cold, you could lose half your range, but none of them going to 40 miles.
SPEAKER 1 :
Right.
SPEAKER 18 :
Yeah. Okay. I just thought it was interesting. You know, you think of an AV card. and then all of a sudden you realize that they have to have a cooling system and a heating system.
SPEAKER 08 :
Cooling system, and keep in mind, they’ve got moving parts that are oiled, that have lubricants in them and so on. That stuff still has to be serviced as well. I mean, they’ve got, in some cases, a full transaxle, depending upon how that particular unit is made. It might even have a rear transaxle, depending upon how it’s made. Some use motors at each wheels. Some use a transaxle. There’s all sorts of variations as to how EVs are made, and it’s one of those things, by the way… When you go to buy it, very few people do any research on because they think it’s a, I’m going to buy it and never touch it afterwards other than maybe put tires on it. And every one of them is made a little bit differently and has their own special maintenance needs accordingly.
SPEAKER 18 :
Yeah. Okay, very interesting. Thank you.
SPEAKER 08 :
No, you’re very welcome, and that’s something that, again, because I, we have owned several EVs personally, I’ve been able to learn some of these things along the way, and part of why I bought one in the first place was to be able to come on air here with all of you and talk educationally, not… not being swayed one way or the other, depending upon what political spectrum you’re on, but really talk about it from the car and driver point of view more so than the political point of view. And I will tell you that are they for everyone? No. Are they for some? Yes. Would I, and I do, have something else to drive long distances if that’s in fact what you want to go do? Yes. Would I make it my only vehicle? Never. Never. And that’s from owning one. So despite what news media organizations and politicians and so on would tell you, that’s literally coming straight from the horse’s mouth. And the reality is I wouldn’t own one only with nothing else. I want other things in the stable, per se, to drive.
SPEAKER 14 :
And depending on what you do, some people at a primary vehicle or only vehicle, that works just fine because they never leave the city, never go to the mountains, never, you know, venture out far. That would have been great for my mom. Right. But, you know, it’s something for me. Like you said, no, it’s not going to be an only vehicle.
SPEAKER 08 :
And there’s a lot of individuals listening to where it may not be feasible for you at all, whether that be financially because all you can afford is one vehicle or even the second vehicle is of such that you’re going to not drive it as a daily driver. Maybe it’s a hunting vehicle, things along those lines, an older vehicle, what have you. So, again, everybody’s circumstances are different. And this is where, you know, not to bring politics in it, but this is where politicians, by the way, are completely clueless because most of them have never owned one. I’ll go as far as to say this. Most politicians making decisions for us in the driving world don’t drive. And I’m being very honest when I say that. They are driven. They don’t drive. I mean, there are some folks that have been in the political spectrum for the past several decades that probably haven’t been behind the wheel in that amount of time. So reality is they’re making decisions on the motoring public but don’t drive. How stupid is that?
SPEAKER 10 :
Yeah. Well, just being in Washington, D.C., it doesn’t fit drivers. It doesn’t make sense for them just based on that location. Correct.
SPEAKER 14 :
Yeah, they don’t do a 60-mile commute every day.
SPEAKER 08 :
No, not in their wheelhouse. Yeah, right. Correct. All right, let’s take Jim before we go to break. Jim, you’re next. Go ahead.
SPEAKER 16 :
Hey, how are you guys doing?
SPEAKER 08 :
Good.
SPEAKER 16 :
Just real quick, do you guys have body shop recommendations?
SPEAKER 08 :
I do, depending upon what part of town you’re in.
SPEAKER 16 :
Centennial slash Southeast Aurora?
SPEAKER 08 :
I think if I were in that area, I would go to Standers. Dan Stander that’s down off of Santa Fe and 470, and Mark knows him very well. Ken does. I mean, he’s a good guy. Top-notch shop, one of the non-chain shops where they’ve been consolidated over the years and does great work.
SPEAKER 16 :
Okay, great. And what was that name again?
SPEAKER 08 :
Stander. S-T-A-N-D-E-R. Great.
SPEAKER 16 :
All right. That’s all I had.
SPEAKER 08 :
All right, Jim. Thank you very much. And if you see Dan, tell him hi. He’s actually been on our program in years past and has been very much a part of ASA and things that have gone around town and even legislatively speaking and so on. Dan’s a great guy, so he’ll take great care of you. All right. We’ll come right back. This is Drive Radio, KLZ 560.

Do you know that your windshield is getting more expensive to replace? Most vehicles have options that help keep the vehicles from avoiding accidents or even keep it in the traffic lane. These windshields require more than just a replacement of the glass. They also require a calibration of the computer system to make sure everything is operational to the specifications the manufacturer set when the vehicle was built. You can’t trust a traveling glass replacement shop to do these necessary calibrations as they require special equipment and in most cases, an indoor shop to perform the calibrations. We have two Novus locations that can replace your windshield and also do these calibrations. Novus Fort Collins. and Novus Sterling. Both are fully equipped with the latest technology to service your vehicle properly. Find either location by going to any of our websites, ready-radio.com, drive-radio.com, or fixitradio.com.

SPEAKER 08 :
All right, we are back. Drive Radio KLZ 560, thank you all for listening to us. We appreciate it greatly. Myself, Ken Rackley, Toontech Automotive over here in Aurora. Mark Guernsey from Accountable up in Broomfield as well. And like I say, you guys can go to drive-radio.com and find not only them, but everybody else that we’ve actually got as a part of our network here as well, which, again, we appreciate each and every one of them. And that includes, by the way… all of the non automotive sponsors that we have because we have a lot of folks that aren’t even automotive related that are here still to help you when it’s all said and done from the appraisal end of things and making sure things are certified to attorneys to estate planning to I can go down the list of the folks that we have involved with us here and we appreciate each and every one of them mortgages you name it I mean we’ve got a lot of folks that are non automotive that are a part of what we do which is Again, we appreciate each and every one of them. Paul Leuenberger on the insurance side. You name it. We’ve got a lot of great people that are a part of what we do, which we appreciate greatly. Again, 303-477-5600. Our text line, 307-200-8222, 307-200-8222. Question of the day that we asked earlier is, what’s your favorite tool? And some of you have had some great answers. And some of you haven’t called in and told us what your answer is. So you need to do that. 303-477-5600. I’ve given you some of mine. And by the way, I’m a tool junkie, so I can probably just start rattling off which ones I enjoy best.
SPEAKER 14 :
Well, and some of the stuff, too, like… You know, the things that you carry, I look for compactness, like two-in-one type thing. And, you know, like your portable compressor, things like that. Well, so now I just bought a battery pack and I just bought a portable compressor, you know, to carry along with me when we go camping and things like that. Well, the jump pack that I bought is really awesome. It works really well. Well, now they have a jump pack compressor combo. You know, a lithium jump pack, and it’s probably been out for a long time, but I just noticed that, and it’s like, okay, now I could have two in one, wouldn’t have the, you know, the little bulkiness of the compressor and carry a battery pack for that. You know, it’s like… Where does it stop? You know, it’s like, well, I’m not going to buy one of those to replace those two because these two work just fine. But that compactness would be just.
SPEAKER 08 :
Yeah. And I’m kind of getting the point where, you know, going through a bunch of different tools and things that I have had and collected and things over the years. I was even telling Larry during Fix It Radio that I’m getting to the habit now of. I have, in some cases, duplicates, corded and cordless. Okay, well, I’m sorry to say, I just rarely drag that corded tool out much anymore. So it’s like, okay, at home, I’m not exaggerating. I have like three corded Sawzalls. And I have no cordless. So it’s like, okay, wait a minute. Why don’t I sell the three corded ones I have, which somebody will use.
SPEAKER 01 :
There’s still a market for it.
SPEAKER 08 :
Yeah, they’ll still take those. And I’ll buy one cordless Sawzall and then call it good and condense down. And, again, some would say, well, why do you have three? Well, because you just collect stuff over the years. You know, I’ve been a shop owner for most of my life. and you need one. Yeah, thank you. You acquire these things. They just happen at times, and it’s where it is. And sometimes you get them at garage sales or different things, and you end up with them. So, yeah, that’s where that kind of comes from. Soren, you’re up next. Go ahead.
SPEAKER 06 :
Okay, well, I’ve got to say my favorite tool is probably not a tool at all, but the Milwaukee Rapid Charger that takes eight batteries.
SPEAKER 08 :
Oh, yeah, nice, by the way. Very nice. I don’t have one because I don’t have, I don’t use that many at one time. You know, the shop and that would, but for me, the single dual charger is, and I have a couple of those, that’s enough. But I could see where that would be advantageous. Contractor, yeah, exactly.
SPEAKER 06 :
Yeah, the other great thing that’s not a tool but could qualify one is a great traction control system.
SPEAKER 15 :
Hmm.
SPEAKER 06 :
You definitely need that on a day like today.
SPEAKER 08 :
Yeah, and that’s something, Soren, as you talk, that has really changed over the years. And Mark and Ken can talk about that probably as much as I can. But even on some non-all-wheel drive vehicles, the traction control systems on a lot of these cars, be it front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive, whatever the case, because of the way they’re able to stop some wheels, start others and so on. Oh yeah. You talk about an advantage from what we used to have back in the old days with pause attraction. It’s like night and day.
SPEAKER 06 :
Right.
SPEAKER 08 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 06 :
Yeah. I was coming over at a greedy this morning and it was really quick there on the road. And, uh, I hit the one curve merging onto 34 and, uh, It slid a little bit, and the traction control system caught you and just shoved you right back where you need to go.
SPEAKER 14 :
Yep. Yeah. The traction and stability controls are all hand in hand.
SPEAKER 08 :
Yep. They work great. You’re correct on that. So back to the hand tools, Soren. Outside of the multi-charger, what’s your favorite tool?
SPEAKER 06 :
I don’t know. Probably the big one-inch impact wrench from Milwaukee.
SPEAKER 08 :
Nice. Yeah. Can’t argue that either. For a lot of the big stuff you guys work on, absolutely. Yeah. Yeah. Okay, just as a side note, I’m at a point in my life where I don’t ever want to see one of those because I don’t want to be that guy doing that anymore.
SPEAKER 14 :
You don’t want to have to lift that thing.
SPEAKER 08 :
I don’t want to be that guy, Soren. I’m old.
SPEAKER 06 :
That thing is lighter than the air one.
SPEAKER 08 :
I know, but I don’t want to work on anything that big. That’s my point.
SPEAKER 14 :
That means when you get that bolt off, you’ve got to do something with that.
SPEAKER 08 :
That’s right. Exactly. I don’t want to do that.
SPEAKER 14 :
You’re getting into a bigger project. Yeah, exactly.
SPEAKER 06 :
Well, yeah, that’s true.
SPEAKER 08 :
I don’t even want to roll that wheel around, Soren.
SPEAKER 06 :
Well, that’s probably another great invention is the aluminum rim on semis.
SPEAKER 08 :
Oh, man. You know, aluminum rim. You know what, Soren, just across the board, not only aluminum rim on semis, but even the bigger trucks and the way they’ve been able to now make an actual. I mean, when I was your age. Soren, especially on trucks, you had one option for a wheel. It was steel and a hubcap.
SPEAKER 14 :
You’re right.
SPEAKER 08 :
There weren’t anything else available to buy at that point in time. If you did anything else, you went aftermarket and tried to buy a decent wheel that would even fit. And even that was really limited back in that day. You didn’t have a lot of options to make your truck look a little better than what it would have been otherwise. And in today’s world, holy cow, just on the stock side of the fence, you’ve got multiple choices.
SPEAKER 14 :
Yeah, the only thing that’s coming with steel is the work. Yeah, just the base model.
SPEAKER 06 :
Yeah, well, that’s true. But steel rims, though, even on semis, are so much heavier. If you have one of those things fall on your foot, you are not going to get it.
SPEAKER 08 :
In really quick, too, soaring along those lines, not to get off on a rabbit trail, but it applies. The ability to get a truer wheel, have it be straighter and balance out better, reducing fuel economy, wear on the tire, and so on, we have made such advancements on that end of things from where the steel wheels were, there is no comparison.
SPEAKER 06 :
Yeah, you’re less likely to… That’s all from really cool tools.
SPEAKER 14 :
Correct. Two with alloy, you’re less likely to bend one. It’s going to break or it’ll still be good.
SPEAKER 08 :
That’s a great topic, Soren. We have come so far on the wheel end of things because of the technology advancements in casting and machining and so on, the ability to make things in a higher production fashion than what we ever were prior, yeah, night and day.
SPEAKER 06 :
Yeah. Yeah. Um, They’re even making them so goofy now that guys do stupid stuff.
SPEAKER 08 :
Oh, yeah, I’m sure.
SPEAKER 06 :
And they still run.
SPEAKER 08 :
Yeah, I’m sure. Yeah, no doubt about that. Good stuff, Soren.
SPEAKER 12 :
Okay.
SPEAKER 08 :
All right, man, appreciate you, Soren. You keep doing what you’re doing. You’re a good man, and we appreciate you very much. All right, great stopping point. We’ll come right back. Don’t go anywhere, guys. Drive Radio, KLZ 560.

SPEAKER 08 :
All right, we are back. This is Drive Radio, KLZ 560, and appreciate you all listening to us. And we were just talking about wheel locks and things along those lines, and frankly, it’s to a point. Now, I mean, I guess if you have some really, really, really fancy wheels that you want to try to keep somebody from stealing… Knock your socks off, although I will tell you anymore, it’s becoming more of a pain to have the locks than it actually is any kind of an advantage because the days of folks stealing, especially factory wheels and tires, they don’t steal as many as they used to. They’ll take the whole car.
SPEAKER 14 :
Yeah, right, exactly.
SPEAKER 08 :
If they want something, they’re going to take the whole car. No offense, they are not running around with a jack. No, they’re not stealing wheels. I mean, there are a few situations where you might see a high-end set of wheels and tires stolen, but in general, that is not a huge concern anymore. It’s more of a concern, are they going to steal the whole thing?
SPEAKER 15 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 08 :
That’s a bigger concern this day and age because stealing the wheels and tires. We were talking a moment ago during the break that for a lot of the factory rims, for a lot of you guys listening, especially on trucks and such, but same for cars. If you want a different set of tires and wheels or something along those lines, go on Facebook Marketplace and take your pick. Yeah. Right. Because, you know, Chevy, Ram, Ford, whatever.
SPEAKER 10 :
Or even a salvage yard and buy them for $50, $75 a piece.
SPEAKER 08 :
You can buy takeoffs all day long.
SPEAKER 14 :
Right. Yeah, because people are putting their own, you know, custom rims and tires on. And, you know, they have a whole set that they need to do something with. And, yeah, they just want to get rid of them. So, yeah.
SPEAKER 08 :
Yep. Yep. So, again, those of you that are listening along those lines, I personally wouldn’t invest any money in wheel locks on regular stock-type wheels. In fact, I was telling these guys that sometimes I’ll even get a vehicle that will come somehow. Somebody has shoved a set of wheel locks or whatever on it. As long as the other factory nut is there, I will take the wheel locks off, go throw those in the toolbox or the bench or whatever, and put the regular – one back on it because the last thing i want to do is be out and about and not be able to now speaking of that throw them in the trash don’t put them in your toolbox i have something just happened to a family member of late i’m going to make a note of something and talk about this when we come back to something else that a lot of people don’t think about so as soon as we’re done with steve i’ll come back to this in a moment steve go ahead though yes colin to talk about my favorite tools yes um definitely my favorite go-to tool is is my dewalt drill
SPEAKER 21 :
I mean, I pretty much use that for everything. I used to have one of those big, heavy 14-volt ones. It’s amazing, the new 20-volt ones, how much lighter they are.
SPEAKER 15 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 21 :
Plus, they’re smaller, and it’s easier to get into a harder working space. So that’s my go-to there. But I live in kind of a rural area, and I got tired of running extension cords.
SPEAKER 15 :
Oh, absolutely. Yeah.
SPEAKER 21 :
So I kind of have both the power ones and the cordless ones. And I actually have a DeWalt Sawzall. But, you know, and I also have a cordless chainsaw. It’s a Greenworks. And there’s definitely an advantage to trying to stay with the same branch and get the same battery.
SPEAKER 08 :
Yes, there is.
SPEAKER 21 :
But the problem with the DeWalt Sawzall is that, you know, I mean, it just runs out of battery so quick that – I often have to jump to the chainsaw, and lots of times I’ve got to bring stuff closer to the barn so that I can use something with power.
SPEAKER 09 :
They’re getting better the newer they get.
SPEAKER 21 :
But I also have a little inexpensive weed eater from Walmart that’s battery-operated, and I use that for just real light stuff around the house. A buddy of mine talked me into buying one of these… It was actually pretty expensive, a DeWalt leaf blower.
SPEAKER 15 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 21 :
And it’s good for small stuff, but once again, the battery doesn’t last that long.
SPEAKER 12 :
Yeah, you’ve got to get the bigger battery on that.
SPEAKER 08 :
Yeah, they suck up the juice fast.
SPEAKER 12 :
Yeah, I run that 6 amp an hour. And then I did get one of those compressors.
SPEAKER 21 :
I got a DeWalt tire inflator compressor.
SPEAKER 10 :
Those are handy.
SPEAKER 21 :
And, you know, once again, Milwaukee sure sounded appealing, but I got DeWalt batteries.
SPEAKER 08 :
Right. No, and I’m not blaming you on that at all.
SPEAKER 14 :
And it’s not brand-specific necessarily. It’s just convenience-specific. Right.
SPEAKER 21 :
And probably the funnest thing I got, my wife got it for me a couple years ago. I thought, why’d she get me this? I’m never going to use this. It’s a DeWalt laser level. And it comes in a little case, and I thought, well, this is really cool, but when am I going to use this? But if you’re ever trying to hang pictures, hang curtain rods, anything, it’s amazing how much that helps.
SPEAKER 10 :
She’s just trying to put you to work.
SPEAKER 21 :
That’s part of the honey-do list.
SPEAKER 14 :
Exactly. And you know it’s level. That’s the thing. That’s right.
SPEAKER 21 :
And we checked some things we’d done before using it, and it’s amazing how unlevel they were.
SPEAKER 14 :
Yeah, right, right. Well, I’ll hang something level according to the level, and my wife will say, no, it’s off a little bit. It’s like, well, tilt your head the other way. Right, maybe the ceiling’s not level. Right, exactly. According to the earth it is.
SPEAKER 21 :
But anyway, love your show. Just rediscovered it here a while back in – I actually had to put it in my Google Calendar so I remember to turn it on. Thank you for doing that.
SPEAKER 07 :
Thanks, Steve.
SPEAKER 08 :
Thanks, guys. You bet. Appreciate you very much, Steve. That’s great. Okay, back to something we were talking about earlier with wheel locks and things along those lines. And this happened to a family member here. not that long ago and it’s something that is a reminder to all of us myself included and that is when you change wheels and tires and go to a larger size or maybe you do a slight lift kit or anything along those lines this is more for you guys that are on the truck end of things and you go to get the jack out and you now find that oh gosh it’s not going high enough to actually get the wheel and tire off and no i don’t have a block of wood or anything else kicking around to help me out Friendly reminder, if that’s something you’ve done, then you need to figure out how you’re going to compensate for those adjustments. Are you going to go to a high lift jack type of a scenario? Are you going to carry some sort of a block of wood that’s more permanent that you’ve got with you all the time that give you that extra height and those you have to be careful of because if they move at all, be very, very careful because those can get kind of dangerous. Are you going to modify your existing jack somehow to be able to handle what you need are you going to look for a different type of jack maybe carry a bottle jack with you for example or something of that nature point being you have to know that’s there because when you make these adjustments modifications i guess i should say and yeah at the end of the day it looks better and functions better and all the things that you wanted it to do just remember when you go to now change a tire yeah that may become an issue.
SPEAKER 14 :
And did you go with a bigger size? Did you buy five tires? And, you know, because that’s… Right, do you have a spare that fits? Right, exactly. An all-wheel drive, you’re not… You don’t want to do that.
SPEAKER 08 :
Thank you for that, Ken. Yeah, those of you with four-wheel drives where you can go to two-wheel drive and get you to the next exit and so on, okay, that’s a different story. But, yeah, if you’re in an all-wheel drive vehicle and you’ve done a larger conversion like this, even just the tires itself, and you didn’t buy five… I would be really careful dropping that spare on depending upon where you’re at, how far you are, how far you’re going to have to drive it, and so on. It’s sort of like throwing that mini spare on, which I see this all the time. The mini spare, first of all, isn’t supposed to go over 50 miles an hour. I see people driving 70 miles an hour with a mini spare. They were never intended. And by the way, that’s that car that I am getting away from. I want nothing to do with being around it, near it, behind it especially. I want to be around and ahead of that person as quickly as possible because that mini spare is not designed to go that fast. And by the way, it’s not designed for the speed, the temperature, which for all of you, you should know this, but maybe everybody doesn’t. Tires get hot. They’re creating, even in the wintertime, even now, they will warm up from the friction on the road and what’s happening. So if you are done driving ever and you reach down and touch your tire, you’ll notice that it’s not, you know, outside ambient temperature. It’s going to be much hotter than that. Well, think of that mini spare and the fact that there’s not much tread there, period. And it’s rolling down the highway at 75 miles an hour because some knucklehead thinks that’s how fast he can drive. Right. And I’m thinking, yeah, I want as far away from that vehicle as I can get because that thing isn’t literally, that is an accident waiting to happen. Yeah. They were never intended to go that speed, and that’s why it’s warning labels everywhere, you know, do not drive over X amount of mile an hour with this particular, you know, and it’s short, to Mark’s point, it’s short distances. Or over 100 miles. Yeah, it’s supposed to get you to the next stop. Yeah. It’s not a daily driver.
SPEAKER 14 :
Not a permanent addition to the vehicle.
SPEAKER 08 :
Not a daily driver with your hazards on. Sorry, I’m picking on some folk out there. But, yeah, it’s not meant to be that way. And nor is it supposed to be some sort of a permanent solution. And I have even seen as crazy things where you know somebody must have either stolen or bought a couple of mini spares because the car will have two on it. Yeah, right. Not one.
SPEAKER 14 :
Right, exactly.
SPEAKER 08 :
It’s like, what are you doing here?
SPEAKER 14 :
Why pull it out of my other car?
SPEAKER 08 :
Or my buddy’s car or whatever. No, that was not the intended use of that mini spare at all. And to Ken’s point, especially those of you that may have a – and by the way, even on an all-wheel drive type vehicle where you may be putting that on the front right – You can have some issues driving long distances that way because the differential and things that are in that all-wheel drive front end are doing things that it was not designed to be doing permanently. That’s what you’re doing at that point.
SPEAKER 14 :
Right. Viscous coupling. I mean, that’s superheating that and they’ll burn it up and. That’s not an inexpensive repair on any vehicle.
SPEAKER 08 :
So, you know, back to the whole, you know, make sure you’ve got the right equipment, the right jack. The other thing, by the way, with aftermarket rims and lug nuts and some of the things that we were talking about is does your tire iron… Because in a lot of cases, it won’t. And those of you that put aftermarket wheels on, not only does the tire iron fit the lug nut, will it fit inside of the hole that you may have that’s now deep set with your aftermarket wheels because that’s the look you wanted. Well, that’s great. But will your actual tire iron, which you’ve got to have, by the way, which is usually what functions the jack.
SPEAKER 09 :
Right.
SPEAKER 08 :
So now are you going to have to add something to your repertoire of things that you’ve got inside of the vehicle to make sure you now have a breaker bar or whatever that you can actually use to get those lug nuts off? So something to think about along those lines. Paul, we’ll get started with your question. If we need a little more time, we’ll carry you over. But go ahead. Get started.
SPEAKER 22 :
Hey, I just wanted to let folks know that the city and county of Denver is bringing in, starting to develop their EV fleet to change over, including trash trucks, the recycling pickup trucks, the sweepers, forklifts. It’s going to be a nightmare. So they have to build a whole new facility for it next to one of their existing facilities, obviously the charging stations. They have to train all their people, and they have enough trouble just keeping up with the maintenance on their existing fleets, which is kind of a nightmare. And then they’ll have to deal with extra safety stuff because of the fires. the weight and storage of batteries and things of that nature. It’s just going to be… It’s going to be a debacle, Paul.
SPEAKER 08 :
I’m sorry to say, but it’s going to be a debacle. You get into some of our colder months, and they’re thinking with all these case studies that this is going to work and that’s going to work, and there’s going to be money ahead and blah, blah, blah. Number one, there’s not going to be money ahead. This is going to cost the taxpayers a fortune. And I would predict, I could be wrong, but I would predict this not lasting. And they’ll get a new facility out of it in the process, though.
SPEAKER 22 :
Yeah, and my guess, knowing how municipalities work, my guess is they’re buying this on the federal dime, which is our dime, regardless of where it comes from. But it’s probably some sort of green grant. Could be. And then they’re not going to have the ability to maintain that. It’s just like anything else. They develop it, they get a grant for a program, and then they don’t think about how they’re going to sustain it or a new position. Correct. in management, whatever. And it’s going to be the same thing. And then what about the extra weight on the roads? You know, all those poor bicyclists sharing the road. They’ll have nice, smooth bike lane, and we’ll have even worse roads because of the extra weight.
SPEAKER 08 :
You’re correct, Paul. I cannot argue that. You’re 1,000% correct, and time will tell how this works out. My prediction is not well.
SPEAKER 22 :
It won’t. There’s no way it will.
SPEAKER 08 :
I agree with you. Paul, thank you for that. I did not know that. That’s a great update on your part. Lines open, 303-477-5600. Myself, Mark Guernsey from Accountable, Ken Rackley from Toon Tech.
