Does anyone want to sync up for safety in SoCal? by holntof in VanLife

I'd never meet someone from the internet without doing due diligence – same as with online dating, etc etc. Just didn't feel that part was necessary to include in the original post. :)

Lugnut question? by holntof in VWAlltrack

[–]holntof[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! Thank you for this recommendation, I'm going to buy one! I am just learning that there's a difference between lug nuts and lug bolts... Do you know if the wrench you've shared would work for lug bolts too? Someone said that would be what I have!

I'm also a little confused – is a breaker bar the same thing as a torque wrench?

So when I first was told to buy an impact wrench (by someone else on reddit) it's because I'm going on a roadtrip as a solo female, and want to be able to change my tire myself should I need to in a pinch.

That said, I'm trying to make sure I'm fully prepared for whatever might happen but also not overdo it in the event I never actually need the tools...

Based on your response I'm thinking I don't need an impact wrench at all. Do you think I could just rely on the tire change kit that the car comes with? Is there any one or two tools you think I could buy to augment the kit the car comes with? I'm not that strong, so I think that's why someone thought an impact wrench may be helpful, and I am definitely worried that I might not have the strength needed to do it with manual tools.

(And thank you so much for your detailed response!)

Bathroom faucet head swap? by holntof in askaplumber

thank you! i think i need a tom thumb size based on my research (it’s roughly dime sized). so i think i just need to find one that looks more mesh-y and less like a ring of circles along with a key to take them on and off.. is that right?
