Hey fellas, if youre hauling a load in an suv or truck (extra 500-600lbs) should you adjust tire pressure? either increasing or decreaing?

Nope. Make sure tire pressure is at the manufacturer's maximum, no more, and you'll be fine. Most tires also have a maximum weight on the sidewall, allowing you to consider the combined weight and payload to determine if the tires will be overloaded.

Thank you Terry. My Grandfather passed away in May of this year. He was a master carpenter as well as a POW in ww2. He has tons and tons of tools. And being the oldest grandchild I get first dibs, so I came to visit some family for xmas and I'm taking alot of the tools back with me.

Sorry to hear about the death of your Grandfather. Being a WWII veteran and POW, I imagine he had some interesting stories to tell.

Tools are always a nice reminder to have of someone that passes. It's kind of both romantic and humbling to hold and use a tool that someone before you used to create something. Almost as if you're a caretaker of all the things that were built from them.

^ Thank you.

Yes, he built a two story barn, in his retirement, and other things. And knowing that noone has touched the tools since he last put them away, is a great feeling. I have a workshop at my house, and plan to use them.
