1/2" screw on mine its pretty old but I have to deal with 30 year old tools.
Do you not have access to Craftsman and Snap-On and Matco and Home Despot and Ace Hardware and such in Seattle?

I have found proper tools save $. My tools have saved me tens of thousands.

I think a brand new shiny 5 or 10 pound persuader is a worthy investment.

MHO, YMMV

P.S. - This is what I meant when I said in another post that you confuse me. You state you have 30 year old tools yet you talk about potentially expensive Chevy engine swaps that require many tools. Then in the same thread you started where you ask about Chevy gasoline engine swaps, you talk about swapping to a Duramax instead!!??!?? You imply tools are too expensive but you will take a spindle to a machine shoppe for $$$ when all you need is a propane torch, penetrating oil and a 5 or 10 lb hammer. You seem like a nice enough guy. Take a step back and review how you express yourself through your posts. Regards, T

Thanks. The reason just going to a shop is cheaper for me is cause I have some friends working there that most of the time can do small jobs for free.
