Teh t00l thread

Post up what t00ls you feel you need to have so you can work on your car

This is for eddie's sake since he's missing his 12,14,17



For me I usually use the following

8,10,12,14,16,17,19,21 gear/box wrenches/sockets/deep sockets(10-12 flare wrench)

Breaker bar, extensions, swivels, C-clamp, File.

Needle nose, channel locks, vice grips, channel locks, dykes, pry bar, flat heads, philps head.

This is just an fyi so people like Ruben who's never changed his oil can start to purchase tools so they can begin to work on his car

Those are the ones i'd probably use most. I haven't had a need for clamps yet, and not much of swivels.. I was going to pick up a set of for 2 bills like the juan eddie has so that we can have an extra set on hand on install days.. Just haven't gotten around to getting them. I guess I should soon though.. This way everyjuan isn't fighting for the same tools and end up losing them sliding em back and forth and whatnot..
