I went on a wire shelf bender a few years ago. You know, the stainless steel
ones like they use in commercial kitchens. You can pick up the real thing
stupid cheap on FB marketplace and Craigslist. Most of mine have casters, too,
so they can be moved around if I chose to.

It would have been a 2006 or 2008 model, I don’t recall which one. At least I

I had to buy one of those little “cubes” to crank the piston down when we had
Ford Focii in the house. C-clamped and beat on the thing before I did some
research to discover that the piston has to be screwed back into the caliper.

As my HF kit increases I'm increasingly impressed with their tools.
For instance if you're still cramming a screwdriver into the caliper to push
pads back you really need this:

You guys are a bunch of lightweights. I have a HF not 5 minutes from my house.
I might go there once a month. No problem getting in/out without impulse buys.
I try to limit my exposure to Chinesium as much as possible. Yes, HF is a great
resource, but it’s also got a lot of crap.

Agreed, and it’s a behavior that one has to develop. I’m hard core about it (I
don’t shadow my tools, so I’m not that bad) and make sure everything gets put
away when I’m done. I might wait until the job is done if it’s something major,
otherwise, I put stuff back as soon as I’m done with it.

The real trick is keeping everything in its place once it has been sorted.

This has been one of the best parts of the homestead in AZ. Getting to set up a
garage from scratch has been a really enjoyable experience. Being able to
organize things from right out of the gate as opposed to having to work with
existing stuff has made it a lot of fun and allowed me to set thi
