    Fastener sizes used on Modern Chevy's and Jeeps?

    Checked out your thread, really nice builds! Here is a few pics of mine, an '88 T2 with an LS1 swap. Took a long time :-)

    Fastener sizes used on Modern Chevy's and Jeeps?

    Excellent, thanks again guys! It sounds like its 99.9% metric, but uses the other non-JIS sizes. For example, my 16mm and 18mm wrenches and sockets are still brand new, even though the set is over 10 years old!!! Just so I'm clear...the external torx is where the tool is female and the...

    Fastener sizes used on Modern Chevy's and Jeeps?

    Happy new year Guys! Question...my next vehicle project will either involve a 2000-2005 Chevy Suburban (GMT800) or a Jeep Grand Cherokee (about the same year range). I haven't decided on the actual size vehicle I will use. All my projects to date have involved Mazdas and Subarus. So my...

    Double Box Wrenches

    Craftsman Industrial is rumored to be releasing some nice double box end wrenches. Probably Armstrong clones? I haven't been able to find much info on them, but would be interested in them if the price was right.

    craftsman socket detents

    I'm a shade tree guy, not a pro. My go-to ratchet is a Snap On FLF80, and 99% of my sockets are older Craftsman (circa 2000) USA made sockets. I've never experienced a single issue with the detents / retention. -a

    Looking for an EDC knife

    A lot of people love the grip and mini-grip. I went to a local REI to hold them in my hand. I thought the scales felt cheap and slippery. Also too thick. I like a thinner profile for ease of carry. Its really best to go handle a few to see which you like best.

    Looking for an EDC knife

    I'm looking pretty hard at the Benchmade 940-1. Looks to be a perfect edc/gentleman's knife. In a perfect world, I'd also get a Spyderco PM2 for weekend duty. On the other hand, the Spyderco Southard looks like a good weekday knife too. Too many damn choices!

    What size Knipex pliers wrench for AN fittings ?

    I remember seeing an adjustable AN wrench somewhere, maybe summit? Saves on needing the individual sizes. Edit: Yup summit...

    Best cheap torque wrench?

    I would have gotten the Husky if I had found GJ in time. I ended up getting the Craftsman clicker on deep sale. But I only use it for general duty, such as lug nuts. -a
