    That’s a lot of HF stuff lol Yeah these brand new wranglers come apart pretty easy other than an impact to take lug nuts off I used all 3/8 and 1/4 hand tools to do my test. 1/4 hex driver seems to be a common tool I see around the shop. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    No necessarily instant recall work. More like Assemby line damage or ISD(in service damage). Like if a fender flare gets scratched or a hardtop gets scrapped or damage to a seat during install ect ect. It comes to us after it get inspected and we can either repair the part or order a new one and...

    New job, new box. Help me outfit it

    Yeah I was just playing around on the site this weekend. Although the icon stuff seems to have good reviews compared to the “normal” HF tools. I’ve also never broken a HF tool before. Im definitely going to look in to tekton. It’s on my list for research. I probably won’t buy anything till...

    I’ve never seen anything like what your saying. Do you have a link? Usually if I broke a socket or a bit, or even a screwdriver I either bought a new one and tossed it or had the truck warranty it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

As a supplemental I won’t be doing any heavy or major repairs, that is left up...

    I actually have been considering the icon stuff(right now my harbor freight online cart is @ ~$1100 with the cart and every icon tool I can think I might need), I like that they don’t skip any sizes. Still considering them but wanted some input of other brands Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Hey GJ it’s been a while. I got out of wrenching about 7 years ago and went to factory work. Dragged my snap-on cart and all my tools home. Honestly never thought I’d get back to turning a wrench other then at home on our own stuff/helping friends out ect ect. The past 3 years I’ve worked at...
