Not for nothing , but I picked up a 3/8 impact extension set 4 pieces for like $7 at HF. They hold up better than my matco. They seem to be made of harder steel. The matco ones have gotten all mushed.

Being a import tech my dewalt 3/8 is my most used tool. Can not live without it.

I was born in san jose and moved when I 8 and 23 years later I am still home sick.

I work at a toyota dealer so if you need any advice pm me.

this wrench, one side for toyotas and the other for hyundai. got it from mike wren for like 8 bucks or so.

The most valuable tool in a dealer is a pen. It can make you a lot of money.:thumbup:

I hate when they do that.

my old boss at the gas station used to chase us off the truck after like 15 min. but he would also find us at the deli and chase us out of there to lol we were well paid on a salary. so it was his time. he was my best boss though. now at the dealer as a flate rate tech i can do what ever i...

yea used would be the best choice. there are lots of guys who get into mechanics then get out after a year or two. $1500 cash looks real good to a tech that couldn't hack the flat rate life. then you could get a so or matco box.

my matco box was built in ny for a reasonable $7000. just for the bottom chest. a hf box is fine for home use.

I don't know really anything about jeeps . the rusty tacos were 95 to 04 I think. the 95 to 00 were bought back at 1 1/2 times blue book then crushed. the newer ones get the frame. it works out cheaper i guess. at least toyota stands behind there products.:thumbup:

zero customer cost. yes the frames were rusting out in the salt belt states. 60 hours. like a new truck when done. you know the motors never die. the frame was there only weak point.

tacoma frame replacement at my shop

I have the sk flex head and a set from ez-red that is sk with ez-red stamp. My tool guy said sk could not pay for them so ez-red took them and stamped them. They are my favorite wrenches to use. I have 2 sets for when one breaks so I do not have to wait for a replacement. I only broke one 14mm...

here is mine I really like them
