Cool Tools???

[einstein57]

I'm a cheap bastard so i have a Ryobi impact gun. Its rated at 120'lbs on a full charge. Just got Ryobi cordless speed saw. It came with the circle cutting attachment. Not bad for a $30 tool.

Micro pipe cutter. Perfect for replacing shot sections of brake line without removing them from the car. That and a stubby #2 Phillips screwdriver.

swivel head ratchets.....like this:



I have a 1/4" snap on without the rubber handle, and it's NICE. I bought a couple of 3/8 and 1/4 Genius Tool ratchets that are copies of the Snap On and they are decent, well worth the $$$- about 1/4 the price , but not quite up to snuff with the Snap On.


Wobble socket extensions are hard to live without too.

And I'm really loving my cordless Makita 1/4" impact driver- like a cordless drill but with a 1/4 hex shank instead of a chuck. It accept all those screwdriver bits, and I use a 1/4" or 3/8" square socket adapter in it to spin out nuts and bolts. This thing has tons of torque and it's smaller and lighter than any similar cordless drill driver.

Snap-on makes a badass 3/8" drive impact U-joint. Critical for the upper trans bolts.

Is it the Li-Ion one?

LED test lights are the bomb, too.

I use "The Probe" but cannot seem to find it on the web.

Tests for ground or positive, shows switching instantly.

Convenient as hell, let me tell you!

You mean like my power probe III?

[Van Westervelt]

I cant stand that mans voice. I must go break something now.

[Farbin Kaiber]

I'm sorry. Everyone, mute the video. I wouldn't want to cause a rise in bridge divers.

Is it the Li-Ion one?

My Makita is not the Li-Ion one, it's the NiCad or whatever the standard 12v version is. It works great though, I picked it up on CL for like $70, the guy bought it new and used it to screw in like 10 screws and never used it again.


I use it all the time, on cars AND around the house AND at work.

[dashboardmonkey]

Fuck yeah.

Skewdriver ftmfw!

[winfred]

my snap on box that is probably worth more then my e30 without the goodies inside

[SFGadgetGuy]

/\ same goes for me my snap on box is my biggest tool investment not including the tools inside.

The tool I think I have that is super handy I would say is my blue point compressed air vacuum.

Great at sucking out broken glass from doors and cleaning in the tight spaces when used with the crevice attachments.

These work nicely.

Cut wire, strip wire and crimp wire.
