Late to post but spent Sunday doing the oil on my wife's equinox and then tearing down a jack that my great grandfather used to get it back to working condition

After reading through that list I'm scared to see the overall cost. With that said, I thought I'd add oil filter sockets under your oil filter tools. These are lower profile for removing cartridge filters as there are many new cars coming with this style filter. Also, you can buy individual to...

Thanks for the heads up. I haven't decided yet on what I want to go with. I know gearwrench is good stuff and I like their wrenches, just trying to decide if I want to buy sunex/ tekton or save for the gearwrench sets. I do know I'm gonna be buying the flexhead ratcheting boxend sets the make.

Bought these last week and they finally arrived. Couldn't pass up the price. Nice finish and seem like they'll be a lifetime set. Trying to slowly outfit my new box. Next will either be combination wrench sets or the 1/2 in gearwrench set. (Sorry bout the stock photo, forgot to take one when I...

Saw these on Tool Discounter and really liked the overall coverage for wrenches... putting together a toolbox at the only garage I have access to (a family members) and was gonna stock it with primarily gearwrench sockets and started looking at the standard wrenches and then ratcheting.... I...

How much did those socket sets run you total? 1/4,3/8,1/2?

3/8 covers a good variety of sockets and will be my starting point the overlap provides for the added or less needed torque and fitting into spaces that may not be available for 1/2in drive.

I can email a copy to you, it was made using Numbers on my IPhone but I can export it as an excel spreadsheet if you'd like?

I saw them on sale and was going to try and get one, but the sale ended before I got the chance. Looked like a steal at $200. If it goes on sale again I'm gonna buy it and have it as one to expand to later on or give as a gift to my brother? Regardless, they looked like a solid option for the...

That a 537 top and 557 bottom? Looked at one similar here but couldn't get an answer on it before I just went ahead and bought the HF box. Great looking box and that cover looks to be in great shape along with the rest of the box.

Well, after a little bit of a wait and my wife telling me to buy it now or I probably never will, I dropped the money on a HF 44" base (the top will come a little while later) I did have to make a return on the first one bc of damage to the top and decided it was best to check the second at the...

Thanks. I'll take another look at those and see if I missed something when looking for sizes. Fwiw, the snap on catalog was not very iPhone friendly. Sk not so bad. I'll be modifying this in due time. But I'll be keeping the initial list for my own personal reference for building my box set up.

They are, and my intent was to primarily cover the basics (obviously every single size imaginable i.e. /64 was not listed because I've never personally encountered them and I don't know how likely they are to come into play on a vehicle) but I'll be adding some suggestions to my list. I felt...

This is primarily for auto mechanic work (diy level not professional) but I understand that there will always be sizes I don't have.

Thank you for your input, I'll modify my chart to reflect this (and post updated copies at a later time)
