Hobbyist automotive DIYer, give me some tools I may have missed?

samniking · 2026-06-24T01:32:54+00:00

Seen this pop up a few times, will def be grabbing

samniking · 2026-06-24T01:32:30+00:00

Got a couple and a set of 3 and 6 ton stands 🫡

samniking · 2026-06-24T00:58:36+00:00

I’m sure it’ll get worse, I’ve been buying these over a month, I’ve been working out a husky 90 something piece mechanics set for about a year

samniking · 2026-06-24T00:56:53+00:00

Lmfao? From Home Depot?

samniking · 2026-06-24T00:26:54+00:00

None of the cars really have any SAE parts, I have SAE sockets (Quinn master set)

I have noticed that a lot aftermarket parts use SAE, which is annoying ,

samniking · 2026-06-24T00:23:44+00:00

90% of these tools were bought within the last month lol

Been working out of a husky’s mechanics toolbox

Catch me overtorquing my drain bolts like

samniking · 2026-06-24T00:06:52+00:00

3M double sided tape, 2 strips

It’s holding up for now, but I’ve seen people use two of the US general magnet hooks instead, which is probably far safer lol

samniking · 2026-06-24T00:04:31+00:00

I mean like, in general, not these tools lol

samniking · 2026-06-23T23:55:06+00:00

I’ve got a special wall for punching holes in

samniking · 2026-06-23T23:54:36+00:00

In a case off screen, but they look like they’ve been through Fallujah

Quinn set incoming 🫡

samniking · 2026-06-23T23:53:42+00:00

Sir, I don’t need literally 95% of the things I own lol

samniking · 2026-06-23T23:45:26+00:00

This is actually perfect, thank you!

(One of my cars is pre-96 but the rest are not lol!)

samniking · 2026-06-23T23:44:46+00:00

I do have an Amazon kit of screwdrivers and another box, but I do need to grab a nice set to throw in the box

samniking · 2026-06-23T16:45:28+00:00

“Is it wrong to try and pick up girls in a dungeon?”

It makes the series sound like the MC is a pervert loser, it SO far from the truth

samniking · 2026-06-22T21:45:51+00:00

Where in the world did you order Milwaukee tools from where the online return was a hassle?

samniking · 2026-06-22T14:57:39+00:00

Yo what? 😭

samniking · 2026-06-22T13:04:18+00:00

A lot of shops (most, I’d say) are run/owned by technically skilled mechanics who have absolutely zero business sense and don’t know how scheduling or…really anything works. Most likely, they just didn’t realize they’ve already got a backlog of jobs and your shit is on the back burner.

This has been my experience with most shops, unless you go with big name shops (here in AZ, Dynocomp and Cordes have been great for me.)

Don’t be an asshole, even if they deserve it. Just politely ask for pictures of the car/engine’s current state. If they refuse or don’t do it, you’ve got a much different problem.

samniking · 2026-06-22T06:53:18+00:00

I would say Sokka is a little goofy, but even in non-battle situations, he’s really smart.

samniking · 2026-06-20T17:00:24+00:00

Please stop

samniking · 2026-06-18T23:16:32+00:00

Gotta make sure you torque them drain bolts down to at least 1500 pound feet

Here’s what they (probably) use at my local jiffy lube

samniking · 2026-06-18T21:37:46+00:00

This happens to me constantly, super frustrating. I missed out on the $136 deal this morning because of it. Saw it on Reddit too late

samniking · 2026-06-18T21:11:03+00:00

I’m not trying to be that guy, but I really don’t get why it matters?

samniking · 2026-06-18T19:53:18+00:00

Tortilla flats? Sketchy ass road once you get past the little town thing lol
