tools every mechanic should not be caught dead without are:

^^^yes i know a hammer is a carpenter tool, but come on, who hasnt used a hammer on a car before

^^^ lemme tell you, racheting wrenches are the shit...i thought i could get along with out them, and yes i could, but one day i went and bought one(a 10mm), had to go back to get a entire set...these things kick ass

already have a racheting tap kit from vatozone, got it when i used to work there hahahahaa...

 

[Cobalt Tom]

lol, i dont use tap and dies enough to matter hahaha


but that bit set...mmmmmm

cause it has the setup to fit both the gear wrenches and a standard 1/4,3/8, etc wrench...mmmm

 

[bryson87]

i got the blue point ratchet wrenches

 

[mrsilent13]

o man...look at all those wonderful tools....i wish i had money to buy more...i still dont have a compressor or impact gun or anything that is air operated...all my tools are manual...FTL!!!!....lol

but i do have ratcheting wrenches...they are my best friend....and the one tool i use most is the 7/16 ratcheting wrench...and you ask why?

well because all the clamps that i use have a 7/16 nut on them....lol

 

[Cobalt Tom]

lol, i had to go buy the nut driver and ratcheting wrench set (not the socket one) cause i hated taking 10mm and 7mm tiny bolt after bolt off by manual little box end cause the normal socket wouldnt fit or something..made me want to kill something hahaha

 

[bryson87]
