I use one of the new 5 drawer harbor freight tool carts at work as a Tesla technician. I wipe it down about once a week with glass cleaner. It stays pretty clean but I do change my nitrile gloves often if I'm doing a particularly dirty repair.

I first became interested in working on cars helping my dad and uncle work on friends and families vehicles at home. After high school, I started working as a technician professionally. I'm 33 years old and my technician work experience is as follows: technician at Ford dealership for 3 years...

Snappy FHLF80A is my go to for 3/8", Snappy THNF72 for 1/4".

As a Tesla technician: 1. Laptop with Tesla Toolbox and Garage systems (for diagnosis, firmware updates, etc.) 2. T20 torx bit socket/driver (for interior work, lots of T20 screws) 3. 10mm KoKen magnetic nut setter (for removing under shields, front trunk components, etc.)

I use a Fuel mid-torque 3/8" impact for stuff that I can't use my 3/8" Fuel stubby or 1/4" tools for. I do all my suspension work (which is up to 24mm) with that mid-torque with no issues.

I own this tool and have used it a bunch removing oil pans.

I ordered my 8mm, 10mm, and 13mm KoKen magnetic nut setters from i tools a few weeks ago. They shipped them just before they shut down the shipping it seems. Last week I went to their store to check out some more KoKen stuff and I saw the message about the shipping being shut down.

Same here. My only chromes are semi-deep Snap-On 1/4" and 3/8". All my 1/2" sockets are impact. I try to use power tools whenever possible so I have 1/4" impact sockets deep and shallow, 3/8" impact sockets deep, shallow, and semi-deep, as well as shallow and deep universal sockets.

At work my main use for a 27mm wrench is to loosen the tie rod end jam nut when doing alignments on older Tesla Model S vehicles.

I read here that Franks no longer deals with Koken. Even people who ordered from there before said it takes weeks to get things. It took me weeks to get the stuff I ordered from Rakuten so there's no difference. It would be awesome if someone would stock a good amount of Koken tools in the USA...

Ko-ken 115G.150-10 1/4"(6.35mm)h Nut Setter With Sliding Magnet Just picked up 3 of these: 8mm, 10mm and 13mm since I use those sizes for a lot of stuff at work. The magnets are strong and spring loaded for use on studs. I love the fact I don't need to use multiple tools as before I would use...

Most commonly used are 10mm, 13mm (either in 1/4 or 3/8 drive) and long torx bits in T20 and T25 for interior work. Favorite tool: Snap-On 3/8 long flex head soft grip ratchet FHLF80A

I have the Proto Professional (USA made) 1/4" universal chrome metric socket set and I love them. They are small and about the same size as the Snap-On ones. As Fedwrench said above, the cheaper ones normally aren't built as well in terms of size and quality as the more expensive ones.

I work on Teslas and to adjust rear toe during an alignment you need to get into a tight space with an 18mm wrench. I've found the perfect length to use is the 18mm snap-on "short" wrench. A stubby wrench doesn't offer enough leverage while a regular length wrench is too long and a pain to try...

I have the Capri Tools set of thin wrenches and they work great for me. The metric set is 6-19mm, $45 on amazon.

Ah cool. I own a subie myself, picked up a 16 sti last year. There's tons of indy shops and dealerships around here, not actually in the city itself but in the New Orleans Metro area in the parish (county) where I live. I don't wanna type a novel here haha so I'll send you a PM.

I live in New Orleans, well actually just outside the city across the river in Jefferson Parish. Where about in the area are you looking to move? I'm also an auto tech. What kind of shop do you work in now?

i saw the new arctic white carts on youtube. they look pretty good.
