Toolin’ Around
George’s Garage Tools »
We have been using George’s Garage tools for quite some time and pretty much have become big-time junkies due to the quality and price he offers. This one-man Ontario, California, operation has hundreds of the best in Harley-Davidson specialty tools that you could ever lay your grease-soaked hands on. All of George’s tools are made right here in the USA on state-of-the-art CNC machines and inspected by the man himself before they leave his shop.
We hit George up for some engine-building tools for the Pangelino project bike and they have been a savior in getting the job done right.
He’s got tools for early engines all the way up to the newest fuel-injected Twin Cam and he also has a slew of transmission tools as well as ton of chassis offerings.
In short, stop messing around with lame-ass foreign specialty tools that barely work when you can get some that will do you right for the rest of your life from a red-blooded American for around the same price.

Gryyp’s Cargol Turn & Go »
As soon as I laid eyes on this invention I said to myself, “I could have come up with that.” Well, I didn’t. I sure wish I did because I would be riding a gold-plated Knucklehead in my own island with some sweet, big-titty-havin’ chicks and cold beer. Oh well, next time.
Here how it goes; say you get a flat tire miles from home. The culprit is a roofing nail, drywall screw, or any other object left on the road by some careless jerk. Once the puncture is located on the tire, you bust out the Cargol Turn & Go kit and mark the leaking area with the supplied chalk. You then grab the needle-nose pliers in the kit and yank out the cursed object. You then just screw the included black plastic “key” into the puncture and snap it off when it’s embedded far enough. The finishing touch is to take the supplied CO2 cartridge, fill the tire up, and you are back on the road in minutes with no other tools, a goopy slimy mess, or calls to a tow truck.
The kit is small enough to be carried in a jacket pocket and works on cars, truck, ATVs, and if you are Kenny Powers, even your sweet Can-Am Spyder.
