I carry my 8" on me and close it because the head sticks out and would catch on things. I dont mess with the cresents that set in my truck, no point in adjusting them. I do close my pipe wrenches all the way before putting them away. Vibration while driving opens them and makes it a PITA to put...

http://www.tooltopia.com/sunex-tools-9930.aspx I got these. Great for a low use item and they go from 3/8-1". Only complaint is they are bulky on both ends, not a go thing for a tool made for tight quarters. I took a grinder to a few to get them to fit my uses.

Cat 3500 head bolt socket from snap on 1/4-1" Deep offset wrench set. Largest and smallest from ebay rest from the truck Striking scraper that I still need to put a knife edge on 1/2" and down tap and die set. Kicking myself for not getting the 1" and down

If I'm not mistaken Mac's extra long 1/2" Dr. Flex head is a rebranded Titan ratchet. I have Mac's version and like it. Would say it is ALMOST truck brand quality and well above Harbor Freight quality.

Picked this guy up off the truck today.

I started buying from this driver in November. Picked up a few ratchets and odds and ends off his truck. I made payment that were at least double what the agreed payment was and had my account played by mid December. In late november I ordered a carbor scraper. Mid december I ordered a set of...

Gas, insurance, truck maintenance, DOT inspections if needed, drivers paycheck and im sure there is alot more that I'm not mentioning. IMO he doesn't have that large of a markup. Depend on his warranty and how he handles it. Does he replace broken item or send them off and you have to wait on...

By the book and actually working on stuff are vastly different. I disagree with that statement. It follows the "I have always done it this way and haven't got hurt Yet" Mentality. Use the proper tool for the job. If you don't have it, get it. Always use your protective equipment. It isn't...

I work in natural gas compression. Cat and Waukesha engines and Ariel, Ajax, and Gemeni compressors use only SAE. Came across a turbine starter that had 3 metric 12pt. bolts on it a few years ago. I only keep one set of metric wrenches on my truck for that one odd item I see once every five years

Marvel mystery oil in mine. Used on o-rings, parts assembly and wet testing piston ring compression

This is what i got from the Mac truck in the past few weeks. Still have to set up the tool tray. I will have all the tools to set valve lash, replace spark plugs, or remove most heads on large natural gas engines. I'm waiting on the socket rails I will be riveting to the bottom and magnet rails...
