Wheel Steps

[Archive]

Does anyone know where I can get one of those handy little fold up steps that hook over your wheel ?
Someone gave one to my friend and I tried it out and I've got to have one. Sure beats standing on a milkcrate or a bucket to work under the hood.

I got mine at Harbor Freight. $12 I think - can't remember.

I found a number of possibilities, I tried to have my MAC Tool dealer order it for me but his supplier choked. He managed to get one, I said to go ahead and sell that one to my buddy with a 2500 4x4 ETC 6spd and I'd take the next one. I gave up waiting (he still hasn't got another one in 2 months later) and shopped around at the independant tool stores.
The one at Harbor Freight here in Tacoma didn't fold. I remember the price being about $20, definately cheap enough, but too big and hard to store.
Found one in stock at a place called Tool Crib, just a local independant store. They had a catalog with their name stamped on it printed "Pro's Choice" on the front cover. In the small print it says "Nesco Tool Corp", if you have a store that is one of their distributors in your area they could get it if not in stock.
It works real well, is just like my buddies. He has 265's on his truck, I don't think it would fit tires too much bigger than that. It is adjustable a couple ways and gets skinnier to fit the wimpy 235's on my truck. The only down side is it is CHEVY ORANGE! #ad

I like to work with metal so I made one and it worked really slick. Used it several times then discarded because of the fear that one day I would get in a hurry and take off with it hanging on wheel. What a mess that would make of some body metal.

I imagine it would. #ad
