I'm looking at replacing brake lines on my 2nd car in a few months; what tools do I need exactly? I was thinking either Eastwood or a traditional flaring tool. The Eastwood looks super simple, but pricey compared to a more traditional flaring tool. Opinions? A set of flare nut wrenches; was...

I'm contemplating adding a T-Handle Speed bar to my tools; I'm looking at two sets; Sunex and Astro. Both look almost identical except for the milling on the sleeve. I'm leaning towards the Sunex on account I don't think the 1/2 and 1/4 "screwdriver" would get much if any use. Anyone use these...

After reviewing the feedback and some careful deliberation, I choose the Sunex 3351 set; All metric that doesn't skip any sizes. Thanks to everyone that contributed to my thread... I was at my friend's dad's house a ways back; he was helping me do some work on the van. We were trying to remove...

LMAO!!!

I know, right... I've heard they give permission...sometimes. :dunno:

If I bought the 3351, would I still need the 3342 since that's both Metric and SAE? Wouldn't I just need a pure SAE set?

I have the 12" Bosch Glide and love it! But it may be more than you're looking for...but the space it saves against the wall is a nice plus. An option you may want to consider is a Rage mitre saw; can be used to cuts all sorts of materials. I'm hoping to add one to my "dream shop" some day...

:thumbup: Seriously, put this on a t-shirt! Veto is where it's at; for me it was love at first sight...great bag.

I'm looking for more advice from the forum experts regarding impact socket recommendations. I'm looking to acquire a Sunex 3/8 Impact Socket set; not sure what one I should get. It will be used exclusively for automotive (car, truck, ATV, Motorcycle etc.). From my last impact socket thread...

Here in Canada, you never get the the crazy deals you get down there. $15 for a snap-on set is madness. You're a big fan of the SK stuff? Would you consider it a step up over GW and Sunex?

I was looking at a set of Flare Nut Wrenches by Gear Wrench...would that be considered a cheapo set? Keep in mind, I'm a weekend warrior at best.

I've never heard of Flare Nut Wrenches; something I'll look into gdocktor3...thanks for the tip!

Maglites can't be beat (LED version that is)... You can always upgrade the old Mag's to either LED or do a Roar of the Pelican mod... http://edcfeatures.blogspot.ca/2007/01/do-it-yourself-roar-of-pelican-rop.html

Would you be able to use that jack on a car? Or is that intended for trucks?

I really don't need this right now...well, my bank account doesn't need this right now. I've never heard of Trusty Cook; but I think I need at least one. I'm not one to judge someone else's tool needs, but that is a lot of hammers.

Just shows how little I know about automotive work; figured the crowfoot would get more use. There are definitely more tools for me to buy; ones that will probably get more use. Thanks to everyone that replied...as always, much appreciated.

Thanks to Chris/Astro Tools; especially that you allowed entries from Canada. Good luck to everyone!!!

Since I received such great advice with my last "recommendation" thread, I thought I would ask for more advice. I'm looking to purchase a decent crowfoot wrench set; metric. I'd rather pay a little extra and get a good set, then cheap out and end up upgrading in the future. To give an idea of...

First off, I just want to thank everyone for taking the time to read/post in my thread. And also to apologize for taking so long to respond back; been away from the comp...no patience to reply via phone. Some tool background information about myself; I work in the trades (Electrician). I have...

I didn't think it would be possible for Princess Auto to lessen the quality of their tools; Maybe they're using a new alloy?
