The ISKCON Movement in America:

ISKCON was started by a man named A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. He arrived in New York City in 1966 with the intention of spreading Vaishnavism to America. This is one of the many Hindu traditions, which focuses on the worship of Krishna. He arrived with nothing, and had no followers waiting for him, but within a year he had already rented out the storefront at 26 Second Avenue. This became the birthplace of the ISKCON movement.

In the temple at Schermerhorn, there is a section specifically dedicated to him. His importance as the founder of the ISKCON organization is not forgotten. This particular temple has been in place since the 1980’s and is most likely one of the larger spaces that was acquired when the small storefront at 26 Second Avenue became too small.

    I have a friend that is a mechanic and no this is no pro tool, it gets the job done. His Snap-on is lighter and slightly smaller but he also has one of these laying around the shop for removing tires. For a DIY person like me it works just fine. I have not come across a bolt that I could not remove. Including 22 mm struck tower bolts on a 2002 Honda CRV that’s 12 years in Wisconsin winters. The only Con is the weight. But for a DIY person for the price it can’t be beat!

    TIP: Be sure to oil this after every use unless you have a filter on your air compressor to ensure a long life! I always oil before and after use of my air tool. I have a roofing nail gun that has roofed dozens of houses over 15 years without so much as a single jam. $6 of oil last me about 10 years.
