Yeah, I wasted a lot of money on a couple tools hoping they would come in handy later on in my career tho too. Unfortunately I couldn't find any aviation work that would give me the chance to get my foot in the door. So I have a real nice Pneumatic mini palm drill, some expensive safety wire...

There is no Mrs. Korn. That is how i'm able to afford car parts and tools right now! haha I went to school to work on airplanes and 1/4in and 3/8in drive is sufficient for most the stuff I learned on. So I don't have many tools bigger than 3/8in drive. Im placing an order for a 24in breaker...

Im waiting on a 4 pack of the gearwrench 120XP flex head ratchets. I did see a stress text video on youtube of the HF pro ratchet and I was impressed! I might need to order one just to have tho! lol

HERE Is a link to the breaker bar I have. It feels pretty solid. But its a cheapie! IDK how much I trust it. Ive never heard of performance tool.

The bolts are 19mm and I have a breaker bar. Its a bit thicker than most of the other breaker bars I have seen. But its a cheapie. So I might just invest in a breaker bar I feel more confident in and at least a 19mm 1/2in drive socket. Just to be safe. I will be using a Gearwrench 1/2in drive...

Haha yeah, that would be quite destructive! The nuts that need 130ft lbs are the ones on the bottom of the struts.

The car is a brand new (2015) with right under 2500miles. So the stock hardware shouldn't be too bad lol. I don't do automotive work often. Would I be better off grabbing a cheap set of HF or tekton 1/2in impact sockets, or just some craftsman 1/2in drive sockets?

Yeah, that was a typo, i apologize. *130 ft. lbs. Im gonna be installing coilovers onto my car. 4 nuts need 129ft lbs and the rest will need under 100 ft lbs.

Hey guys, I plan on doing some work on my car. The most torque any of the bolts/nuts will be getting is around 130in lbs. Will 3/8in craftsman sockets be able to handle that much torque or should I go with 1/2in drive sockets?
