    Forums telling n00bs to go overboard on professional quality tools...

    LOL, I'am talking about hand assembling a 150k bike, not to replace an alternator on a $600 car just so scumbag steve can get to work late again. When things require patience and ratchets, and the object cost alot more than the ridiculously priced snap on stuff then by all means get the best...

    Modifications to the HF 4 and 5 drawer service carts - what changes have you made?

    I have two of these carts they are exactly alike. I love the towel holder and the can holder from HF. This pic is quite old so there is alot more stuff on them. I overloaded the top tray and it started stressing the shocks so i put vice grips on each cart. We never close them.

    Brand That Dominates Your Tool Collection

    Craftsman tools for me here. It gets really expensive to buy 2 exact sets of every tool you need to work on powerstroke's. On another note all the specialty tools like an (ipr socket) are snap on or matco. We use a 1/2 husky torque wrench just for the 6.0 head studs. 3/8 matco for everything else.
