Lol I honestly want that hand control thing. At least my right arm would be doing something since I drive an auto as well. But hats off to you man not letting a disability prevent you from doin what I think is one of the most enjoyable parts of life, driving the car you love. I'm pretty sure you're gonna grow some major guns doing everything with your arms. No homo lol

Very cool to see how you work through things. It seems if you really wanted too you could change a tire in like 5 minutes.

Pretty neat stuff. Definitely would like to see some more videos like some others.

Great stuff man...impressive and inspiring to see that you don't let your condition dictate what you can and cannot do! Would be simple to take the easy route and just pay to have someone do it for you....I'd like to think if I was in your situation that I would have the will power to accomplish tasks like this as well though. If you don't mind me asking...how did you become a parapalegic?

No problem! I'm not so sure about Harbour Freight ones though since you won't be using a torque wrench at all. I would try to find the best brand in hopes the torque would be as accurate as possible.

Inspirational to say the least.

Have you ever thought of developing a system that would enable you to not have to support for upper body? I'm sure having both hands free would make stuff like this so much easier...Kind of like a cable attached to a strap that you can strap around your upper body and lock the cable at a certain length whenever you need it.

I'm sure something like that could be done. I've gotten used to doing alot with just one hand and things aren't that hard to do that way anymore.

Agreed. Not an area where I wanna skimp.
