IF YOU DO THIS DO IT C O R R E C T L Y!!!!!!!!!!!


my dad has about a 4 inch crescent shape scar on his forehead to tell you why, and he was lucky, should he not have fell down and hit the back of his head on the ground and been knocked out, blood flow would have been enough to kill him.

I think you can rent one from the auto parts store if you really need one.

You can get a loaner tool from Orielly, Advance, or Autozone that cost about 40 bucks, but you get all of your money back when you return it.
