HF haul Friday, the icon ball joint kit, the mayhew dominator, a new compression tester kit, and a pneumatic fan clutch nonsense kit, which now that I've bought, probably won't see anything in a year. There's been so much more, for example vim bcs-1800, and its polyhedral design.

I have a 12pt spline husky set at the house, handles most things. Embarrassing compared to what's at the shop. There, is my stupid collection of ratchets at work that some visiting techs are in awe of, and probably a third of what some of you have. Matco has the best ratchet. Yes AJ For house...

Matco 88 long handle non-flex is first grab in 3/8". Matco is just slimmer, flex locking mechanism is the best, and the 30" 1/2" version is the first thing I grab for alignments. Favorite tool....might have to be a Makita sliding compound miter saw. I made a lot of imagination involving wood...

I bought mine, polished metric, really for the strength of the box end. The strength of the open end is pretty incredible. I busted an 11mm on an inner tie rod, in a way over the limit way. Wright did replace it, with a satin, that's whatever. They don't dig into my hands. Like another poster...

I have had the Autel for about two years, it's a pretty good bang for the buck. I like that it comes with a super long cord and an extension cord which makes using it on the rear end of a big truck that much easier. The tip is removable too, and it all fits nicely in a pretty compact case.

The Chief aluminum body version had a bit too much of Rolec and carbide burrs bits after a couple of years, so for a few sheckels more, I got this Chicago Pneumatic.

86126 plus the 72 tooth 21,22, and 24mm, are some of my most used wrenches.

I've been looking for one of those, interested in selling it?

Vim bit driver with 1/4" square insert and a GW gimble ratchet I've used a few times

I work on all makes and models. Once again I will hype the best 3/4" ratchet you could ever own, not break the bank, and know that whatever is in front of you will break before this does...

My 3/8" Precision Instruments split-beam torque wrench is non-reversible.

Those useless fucks took a flex head long handled Snap-on ratchet off me in the early '00s at Dulles(IAD) when I was flying with just a carry on medium sized no frame ALICE pack to LA to work on my brother's truck. Haven't thought about it in a while. Makes me mad. They are still just as fat and...

Or buy used. I picked up the snappy for a steal from a pawn shop that had an online listing, I believe it was $250. It's going strong to this day, and was well worth the hour drive.

Gearwrench 86126 gets used almost daily

I'm in the market for a new and comprehensive fuel pressure test kit. I already have some experience with the Matco kit, and am curious as to who the manufacturer is to try and save some sheckles, $700 is pretty steep. I know there's an Icon clone, with some reviews about it being leaky. Thanks...
