I don't use 1/4 often...but I do enjoy my T72 and roto head Snappy's. I probably use my roto the most. That said, I'm going to pick up those GW 120's for my Jeep bag.

I'm guilty of the majority mentioned already. Whatever it takes to get the job done...especially when I didn't have the most elaborate tool collection. Channellock/Crescent wrench hammer, screwdriver hammer/chisel/prybar, sockets as press dies (works wonders on u-joints), locking wrenches...

I definitely agree that if you have the skills to do the job to begin with, quality tools just make the task easier/more enjoyable. Like many here I was raised on Craftsman tools and still use many today. In school everything was Snap-on and I thoroughly enjoyed working with them...just couldn't...

Wrapped up a short block. Just have to finish port matching the intake and set-up the valvetrain.

I voted professional, although I'm not collecting paychecks at a shop. Went to UNOH for high performance tech, but immediately enrolled into engineering school after graduating there. These days I'm an engineer for an aftermarket performance parts manufacture. Handle the majority of R&D builds...

It was on the truck but it's not Snap-on. I think it was around $30? Fits 32 pliers.

All because I had to go pick up 1 big snap ring plier for the drill unit I'm rebuilding.... Not pictured is the Blue Point bearing race/seal driver set and brass dead blow

Haha I felt the same way. ATECH2F100VG

I haven't had any issues with my 1/2" techangle. I love it. Had to pick up the 3/8" to replace my old clicker tonight. Of course, had to get green :)

They had a pretty nice booth setup at PRI. I was bored and started flipping through the drawers on the display. This particular box was setup for Mercedes Techs (their largest account). The sales guy said their plant and HQ was in Germany. He claimed they made most of their tools...take that for...

Thanks for the responses. I do like the Foredom electric grinder...just don't know if I want to worry about kinking the shaft constantly. I ordered a Dynabrade air pencil with 1/4" and 1/8" collets. I have a large selection of tooling for both and want the versatility. I'm surprised at how...

I buy most of my bur bits from McMaster-Carr. You can order them with whatever flute/tooth design you want. I normally port aluminum stuff, so the wide flute design is my go-to. http://www.mcmaster.com/#carbide-burs/=109ihwq Speaking of which, what type of pencil air grinders do you guys...

I was wondering how many wheels these would work on. They barely fit my beadlocks. Sounds like I got lucky! For the price, I don't really care if they ever fit another wheel.

I bought these Astro sockets off the SO truck a few months ago, to use with my new Jeep wheels. Only had a chance to use them a few times now but so far they're holding up. I'm using a 90 ft/lb torque stick and then a torque wrench to finish, though.

Dickies twill and Duluth fire hose here. Both pants and shorts. Wear great and super comfortable once broken in. I can't stand the fit of newer jeans. By the time I get them to fit my thighs, they're enormous around the waist.

I'm about 70% metric here. If there was a 60/40 option I would have gone that route. Most of the stuff I work on is newer and therefore metric, but the majority of aftermarket parts I put on them use SAE hardware.

Just started the green craze. I have a CT761G and CTR761BG on the way this week. Also have some green comfort grip handles coming to replace my beat up Dual 80's.

I'd really try to track down another 117. It's an awesome little meter that works great for around the house projects as well. Like I said earlier, I use it more often than my 87V...mostly because of the size difference.

Like others I don't think the Klein can be beat for under $100. I beat the hell out of that thing and it's still ticking right along at work. The next step up I'd grab a Fluke 117 for about $150. I tend to use that more than my Fluke 87V.
