Wheeler dealers Tools

[delatlanta1281]

perhaps he has all but removed the bolt/nut with said tools, but flash forward to the point he actually removes the part and it's back to simple hand tools for production value/simplicity?

Bingo

lol guarantee he only uses the hand tools for the camera shots, do you ever think of the noise it would be making while he is talking?
Also catering towards the vast majority of people who only have hand tools.

I've been waiting for an e30 episode for a while now

They skipped that and did an e36 M3.

They did an E30 touring.

yes, lots of editing. Using basic tools helps people understand what needs to happen and everyone is familiar with simple tools. It makes every job they do seem simple enough. They do use air tools but mainly behind the scenes.

They also did a green on green M tech interior convertible as well.

touring? design edition vert? what episodes????

[reelizmpro]

It was either Wheeler Dealers or Deals On Wheels. Check Youtube.

I'v seen Ed use air tool a few times, once he was just laying into the lug nuts with a impact gun when installing a wheel. It probably fine if know how much torque it is capable of on a low setting.

Ah, I just watched the DB7 episode where Ed uses some technically advanced wheel alignment software to fix a 'squidgie' handling issue... and the cost for that fix? 0 So they do use pro shop-only tools from time-to-time. He also 'hired' a smoke machine to track down a 'perished' door seal. I never thought to try that. I do love the show, but I lost some faith in it when they fixed up the E30 'estate' and made no mention of checking or replacing the timing belt on a car with no known history.

I can see using non-air tools, but I was saying how he uses an open end wrench to get a nut off when its much faster to use a ratchet. thats what they were invented for.. He rarely even uses ratchets.


Anyone see the skyline episode where Ed got to drift the car at the end, and was driving like crap?

[jeffnhiscars]

i really like this show. even mike has grown on me.

Ever since he gave up the PT Barnum voice (and probably got a fat raise) he has become tolerable lol

you beat me to it.
air tools are so loud and would ruin the shot. and on many of the small car, the only thing that fits to remove stuff are wrenches.
P.S. i have 0 air tools and i have do huge projects without them just fine.

Don't think so (not that I've seen, and not according to this...)
