Back when i worked with tools as an electrician, Klein was, and still is the best.
i used a slotted when terminating one or two receptacles as the torque needed is quite low (and written on the receptacle), if i was doing a trim out, i chucked a Robertson in a drill and got home early that day.
Klein tools was never the wrong answer when doing electrical work.
Back then I didn't know the name Roberson for the square drives. For me it was the little square or the big square as everything electrical seems to be either a 1 or a 2 size.

I'd sure like to know what the hell is going on with my favorite flavor of Valvoline. I changed the oil in The Eight Nine today. Nobody around here has any 10W-30 Valvoline Dinosaur Oil (Conventional). I found Mobil synthetic blend for 16.99 at Cal Ranch, so that's what I went with. Dang near poured some Kirkland Full Synthetic 5W-30 down it, but it leaks enough that I didn't want to make it easier to leak, lol.
That motor seriously needs to come out and get cleaned up and re-gasketed. Frankie is as clean as can be, and The Eight Nine has the natural rust inhibitor all over the place.
I test fitted the drivers side Motorsport valve cover today to test for rocker arm clearance. Amazingly, they do not make contact with the baffles. It's been fun trying to find valve cover gaskets to work with these. I didn't realize that Ford changed them ever-so-slightly in 1986. Also... I'm not thrilled with the oil cap. I need to rectify that somehow.

I've also noticed that sometimes I have trouble finding the right oil type for 6.7 Powerstroke in stores near me. I got sick of it and started ordering from amazon. Now I have one less problem and don't have to worry every time about where to get a certain type or brand of oil.
