The top bolt on Chevy transfer cases.

in all honesty these do have a particular application. I remember watching a show once and the inventor of that wrench was on there. He specifically invented them for use by astronauts. Made it much easier to adjust the size while on a spacewalk.

Well its pretty obvious you need multiple ones to have it make sense. I imagine they would sit in the box for many months for a diyer to use them, but when you use them im sure they are invaluable

Matco 88 locking flex here. Its locked straight when you want it, and flex head the other times. I still need to buy the 1/2 version, but have green comfort 3/8 and 1/4

the mac guy had a really nice on today. think it was like six led's with and led flashlight on the end and a magent on the oth.er $100 bucks though. way out of my budget. but i did buy a nice double wide magnetic tray off him for $15 with rubber on the magnets so it doesnt sratch my box

this. if you work on audi/vw more than once a week, hell more than once a month, vagcom is a MUST. of course it will do everything any top of the line scanner will do and a ton more. vag com allows for some very specialized features. if it own vw/audi (skoda/seat too if overseas) it would be a...

yep gotta log in and you can buy seperate things not offered in the catalog as singles

you have to log in to be able to order that single piece. it shows $45.19 and the new number is rfbzxlm1414a. the 13 x 14mm is available for $40 and the part number is RBZXL1314. my buddy has the whole set of them. i think they feel a bit flimsy but man did that his 17mm one come in very handy...

I'm surprised no one has pointed out the shift in our economy from manufacturing to a service based economy. this has a lot to do with the availability of American made products

the axle bolt on my audi is something like 90 ft/lbs plus 180 degress :shocking: same with the crank bolt. i tried to get the extra 180 degrees but i actually started to turn the wheel even with the ebrake on and a friend pressing the brake pedal. i just impacted it and called it good.

guess this thread was just out of frustration from having no garage sales/auctions/swap meets. minnesota really ***** during the winter. my tool lust has only recently been aquired. although i did get a good snag last august at a car swap meet. chrome mac metric and chrome matco sae short 3/8s...

well duh!!! of course ive been checking out the classifieds on here, i just feel like theres some awesome source of good cheap tools that i dont know about

the thrill of the hunt is indeed an appealing part of the process. i certainly enjoy coming across a good deal, whether i need whatever it is or not. i was just wondering if there is some website or some form of sale that im unaware of. like i said, garage sales are nonexistent in minnesota...

thanks to this site, i've been on a tool binge for the last couple months. I like name brand stuff, but i hate paying name brand prices. of course i hit up the obvious choices like craigslist and ebay daily, and of course head to the pawn shops around town weekly, but where else are you guys...

i was thinking they could be used more so for bolts. great example- just the other day i was taking the distributor hold down bolt out of my truck to adjust it. on a chevy 350, it can be done with a wrench, but i got a 454 (year 2000) and there is not enough room for a wrench. but i was able to...

Focus people focus! Lol. Yeah its a holder wh1c. Was gonna put it in my Audi but have other plans now. I already run a Garrett 2871r. So these sockets are common?

they definately arent impact grade, just that impact swivel is. they are only black. im a home mechainc so i have to wait until something breaks to test them out. but for $3? ****, i suppose. i can give them to the guys at the diesel shop down the road if i never use them. but i just thought...

picked them up at the pawn shop today. i got these 3/8s drive sockets with a no name impact swivel for $6. i think the sockets are neat as hell. there is no manufacturer name on them, only 18mm, 16mm, and 15mm. for reference, the 18mm is next to an x6 mac 18mm 3/8 standard length socket. oh...

um, yeah actually. thats how they came up with the name. some manufacturers, like mac, have knurled sockets which way help. another thing that helps is keeping a rag in your back pocket and using that to get a better grip. in time though, the ratchet will wear and allow sockets to be pulled off...
