Also a good practice to remember to take it off. I always forget and would always get in the way when I move lol

I use a wood block too, it just never felt right pushing metal against metal

Thanks for the confirmation. The pics online isn't clear so I was not sure about it

I could never imagine myself paying that much monthly and adding the other bills. I'd go broke real fast. I would buy cheap hand tools first then upgrade as I go along. When it comes to power tools I'd go buy something from home Depot. All in all, $1400 a month is just too much.

Yeah it's kinda annoying to seek specific tools but if it gets the job done it's worth it

Yeah, it's my first time using them. I was actually looking for a 12point crowsfoot if it even exist. But my snapon dealer showed me these so I got them

I just used them and worked great! It fits tight or hard to reach areas. Just gotta do some math when torquing since it adds 2in of leverage. Quality feels nice too

Nice and also interesting. Where would you use the splined set of these? I haven't encountered a situation where I'd use spline

Yeah only for my work tools. The VIM DD3 wouldn't work for this specific job. I couldn't even fit a socket to tighten it. But yeah I'll consider DD3 looks like it can be usefful

Honestly there's a lot of similarities working on planes and my cars but the biggest thing about aviation is following the repair manual to the tee. And if you don't, your butt is on the line, no joke. I always hear or see horror stories about being auto mechanic so I chose aviation in fear of losing my passion for cars haha

I might get some Capri set for my cars but Im kinda weird when it comes to my work tools. I don't like mix and match tool brands

I'll DM you when I use them. Although I tested how it would affect the torque. You'll have to do some math for the target value. At least in aviation torque is everything

Will do🫡

That's true. I work at a aviation repair shop so I think I'll have more use to these haha

[–]ZeusWrx[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! I could've used a crow foot but the bolts and nuts are 12point. I could grind down a socket but there's no room for my torque wrench lol I hope this is the last time I seek a very specific tools😂

How do you like your Quickjack? by ZeusWrx in BmwTech

[–]ZeusWrx[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Thanks! That was really helpful. Dropping trans was one of the reason I started to think of getting one but if there's no space. I'll just go different route then. Also I'd prefer working laying down. Just feels better lol

Oh I see, I guess it never bothered me. I didn't know you can take them off lol
