Sacramento, CA Makes DIY Auto Repairs Illegal

It sounds as if Sacramento County has turned into a giant HOA.

The new law also limits the use of many specialized tools for some reason too. The thing is many of these "specialized" tools are in fact common sights in garages. Restricted tools include air compressors, impact wrenches, and even tools as simple as torque wrenches. The law further defines these items as “tools not normally found in a residence.”

Yikes.

Yikes indeed.

That's nuts. I wouldn't be able to afford a car or the bikes if I had to pay someone $100/hour to break them.

If I couldn't use torque wrenches, I would strip every single bolt on every single bike.
