Your handiest tools

[Sailor37]

Noob question-- what are some things you use air compressors for?

Mainly used for cooling your nuts off when it's hot ass shit....feels real goodman.

Definitely worth looking like an idiot.

Also, I forgot one of my new favorites:

Never fubar up a balljoint again.

These are great. My only gripe is the harbor freight quality, the tie rods on my 88 were really corroded so i used an impact on the ball joint separator bolt. Needless to say the bolt got stripped. Fricken chinese cheese steel.

I would say it's safe to assume you should not use impacts on it...
Also, once you get it good and tight you can usually just hit the joint a few times with a hammer and it'll pop right out

What are some of your guys' handiest tools when visiting the junkyard?

[kronus]

a good pry bar like these will help you persuade just about anything to do what you want it to.

This is not legal advice and should not be taken as such.

By far, the best tool I have.

6" pipe wrench



I use it at work for just about everything and on random shit on the E30 that I can't get a good grip on with typical tools.
