It's really about finding the right car.. Ideally i want to find an air cooled 911, impact bumper 75-89-ish. I really love the idea of finding a 2.7 or 3.0 thats been gone through. I know aircooled and am much more comfortable doing almost everything myself on them. reality is i might not...

on a porsche 912 or 356 - the fly wheel gland nut is 400 ft/lb., and the rear axle castle nut on the hub is about 250 ft/lb. While not over the 300 mark the rear axle is more than the avg torque wrench. i was always told the margin of error is much greater when you are at the extremes - high...

YES! Allen drive sockets and Allen wrenches. Do you want to start it, or should I? ;) I am surprised this thread has been as active and popular as it has been.

I have a 52 year old 912. I dont think it has Pozidriv. Let me ask this though.. I am looking at adding a newer Porsche to the stable in another year or so (I work in travel, covid has screwed my industry, I am not buying another car until this is long gone). When did Pozidrive become...

Terro ant bait traps - basically they have borax and sugar water in it, which they cant digest it (the borax). They eat it, take it back, feed the rest and the whole colony dies a horrific death because their digestive tracks are destroyed. It doesnt kill them right away.. dont stop them or...

Yeah I wasnt too serious about Kobalt, but didnt know if the prevailing thought was screw drivers are screw drivers just get cheap ones.

Fender protectors alignment tools White versions of their US General tool boxes (to match the cart) Headlight aiming tool plating kits Paint booths tool/machine rental (ie like you would get do at home depot with a floor polisher, ground compactor etc). floor epoxy kits

Nope still here. watching and taking in everything people are saying. Seeing the bent pb swiss ones has pretty much eliminated them from the list. I like the ergonomic handles on the hazets, and there is something about them and Porsche or VW cars, but im not sure thats quite reason enough...

Yeah, the only downside with using something like foam is that its pretty hard to add more stuff, or to change it up to fit different brands if they have different handles etc. Something more modular like tool box widget would be a bit more versatile when it comes to wrenches and screw...

Yeah, I have started doing something similar. As mentioned in my previous post, i am starting to be obsessed with mise en place as it relates to working on projects and general garage organization. I have a go bag for road trips, with some tools dedicated to that purpose. Note when I am...

Not a pro here, but I mostly work on my 52 year old Porsche. Early on in the hobby i was using a cheap 12 pt set, and a friend who was mentoring me a bit, and had not just wrenched on his own cars, but raced them as well gave me the 3rd degree about using 12 points, especially on any engine...

I use Hansen socket trays, and craftsman wrench organizers. Other than that everything is laid out in the drawers as nicely as they can be, until it all becomes a mess again the next time I wrench. Honestly organization has been big on my list the last few years. I really want to have...

Thanks guys! I think I have narrowed it down to the hazet 810/6, hazet 803, wiha micro finish or vessel wood compo. The cost of the 810 has that one in the lead but I saw a few complaints about them. The 803 is classic, but I can’t find a lot of reviews (and cost is over 100). I was looking...

SAE tools LOL. I just rarely ever use them.

isnt that just a dwell meter?

I am looking for both slotted and PH. No real need for Torx. I don't necessarily need heavy duty - i dont typically hammer on screw drivers or use them as a chisel. In what scenarios would a heavy duty one with a strike cap become important. A hex bolster for using a wrench on, or a hole...

Thanks. The sister to the snappy hard handled ones? I was looking at these too, but didnt like the handles as much as the hazet

The Hazet ones i am looking at are the same as the porsche motorsports ones, just not with porsche logo or colors. I was leaning toward getting those specific ones but they are sold out. This is the same model and set, just in blue and black - which is why i started with this one first...

Hi guys, I have been using craftsman screw drivers for a while and finally want to upgrade. I want something that will hold up well, work well, and fit comfortably in my hand with an ergonomic grip. Being a german car guy, a friend whos a pro porsche wrench suggested that American...

I am pretty sure this husky cab does not have a top, hence being called a rolling workbench
