[Mr.3-5-7]

taiwan. made by the same company as ez-red. ive been borrowing them for a while and they hold up to abuse and really come in handy for brakes and starters and bell housings and really anything else.

2014 VW Tiguan.
Rear doors. You "need" this special tool to remove the rear door handle.
I fought with pick hooks and bent up wire hangers and what not.
Finally borrowed this tool from another shop. Did the trick.
I bought one cause if I didnt we would have another Tiguan in the shop tomorrow. Now that I own one, we will never see one ever again.

That's AST T 10389, which from the catalog appears to be good only for the Tiguan.

You need that only because they went cheap and saved $1 per door (X3) by only putting a lock cylinder in the driver's door.

So you find the spline drive to be useful and not a gimmick? Will the spline drive "bite into" rusted nuts and bolts?

Spline kicks *** if you ask me. Once in a blue moon I'll get one stuck on the bolt head/nut if it was buggered up but thats the only problem I've seen.

 

[Mr.3-5-7]

Yes, IMO spline is the only way to go. But thats me and not everyone experiences the same fasteners on a daily basis as i do. So its your prerogative to do what is best for you.

They will break; I've warrantied 2 already this past year. Be sure to save your receipt. They are very handy.

After a year and a half I was finally able to find the last wrench I needed (13MM):

The rest came from Lowe's clearance and Cripe Distributing, all made in USA.

 

[funks]

Harbor Freight but hey - why not..

 

[Nortonscustom]

SK 3/8" extension set to replace some of my older wore out ones. And a Klein screw holding set.

Nicely done. I have some old USA Kobalt BIG wrenches, and they have been great.

 

[JustinsGr8]

Yeah, pretty good size. It starts out at 155 ftlbs which is probably more than any one bolt on my current vehicles requires haha.

Better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.

 

[JustinsGr8]

One of the best things they sell

I agree

Milwaukee 1/4" hex impact

We need to make a Milwaukee addiction thread. I am waiting for my M18 fuel grinder/circular saw. Lol

Milwaukee is it. Love the 1/2" impacts.
Just took off a crank bolt yesterday with ease. I was doubting it for a sec and started to use the ingersoll w7150 but I chose to use the Mil and she made me proud. My buddies are going to the depot to buy the bare tool now.
I buy most of it just cause.

 

[JustinsGr8]

I'll start the thread...

Are the bit tips magnetic? They look serious and I love the look of them. Good pick up.

Don't you mean, "Stall-Ville"?

I just went to H.F. for those hose pliers, and they were all out

I grabbed these wobble "adapters" for $1.99 instead - I thought they were straight drives, but they "adapt" up one size each. The small one is 1/4-inch female to 3/8-inch male, and the other one is 3/8:1/2. I don't know how I feel about that, but they were two bucks, guaranteed forever, and they're shiny.

 

[atwageman]

Uh..please guys give your opinion or your experince about Elora hand tool quality..is good quality or badbecause my ratchet,sliding tee and socket is Elora(w-germany)

I have a lot Elora wrenches and gasket punches. No complaints. I use www.bloomertool.com to get most of my Elora stuff.

They don't have them because everyone is starting to catch on.

Yup. Every one else sticks a torx inside the door. Not VW, its a dag gone plastic tab that in about five years is going to be super brittle and break.

Recently discovered this site so this is my first time posting. These are my new purchases.

 

[rmsg0040]

^^ I was at the same store you were at today, variety tools

I hardly go anymore, those guys need to embrace the digital age. Whenever the sell something they write it down in a ledger, or if you want something they would write it down, and when you show up the next day, sorry didn't get it in.

 

[Hopalong604]

Got a few things this week.

Snappy driver walks in and sees me struggling with a retainer clip. Tells me to try his and I was sold.


Been wanting a new air drill for a while. Snappy guy gives me a deal I couldn't refuse. Maybe it's because it's purple?


I bought an amp meter. Parasitic draws are annoying!
