    Tools needed by a entry level automotive technician

    So far I'm at book time so just need to get faster. I spend more time trying to find stuff than I do working on the cars themself. Once I'm fimiliar with the shop I will be able to start beating book time. I prefer sink or swim, I didn't sign up to be a lube tech.

    Tools needed by a entry level automotive technician

    Just wanted to updated. Started my first full day today. First job was a used car inspection while I had my ID set up in the RO system after that I got a A1 service TL (I'm Jag/Rover but I won't turn down work reguardless), a LR3 with an intermitting a/c problem and started a LR4 with a voltage...

    My new KRA5311

    I know I was kidding, its just every thread on GJ has to have someone say they got it for blah blah off craigslist.............. Its a beautiful box, after you work it a few weeks let us know how it holds up being white. I would love to upgrade to a white Master box.

    Snap On vs Gearwrench 1/2 sockets

    I was at Lowes last night and took a peak at Kobalt. Very nice sockets for the $$$. Also went by Sears, CM really has gone to ****. It ashame because my first CM tools were excellent, only thing I never liked were the non-polished wrenches. Now their sockets look worst than Harbor Freights...

    Snap On vs Gearwrench 1/2 sockets

    I already have impact deep from SO and Autocrap shallow. The advice from my master tech was to buy chrome in 6/12 point but only a few sizes that I will see. Land Rover LOVES over sized drivetrain/suspension components and I have run into this in the past not having big enough sockets/wrenches...

    Snap On vs Gearwrench 1/2 sockets

    I should add I need the stuff soon so buying used isn't an option. I've already been searching through the Pawn Shops. I am a paid wrench so I will use often and I would use it as a relationship builder with the SO driver at my new job. Similar thing I'm doing with my Matco flex wrench purchase.

    Snap On vs Gearwrench 1/2 sockets

    Let me first say I LOVE my SO sockets and ratchets, I have always thought they were worth every penny. But I'm needing to pick up some 1/2 sockets, extensions, a ratchet and universai joint. What I need from SO will run about $600 total, if I go with GW its $126. Is their really that big of...

    First time in a harbor freight.

    I have found HF a invaluable source of affordable tools for the new technician. I have SO/S&K for my hand tools but stuff like seal pullers, slide hammers, race setters, gloves, suspension tools and other odds and ends I don't need often. I will eventually replace these items with truck tools...
