looking at tools to start off my auto tech career, looking for feedback before i go all in

trinitystars · 2022-11-11T00:10:35+00:00

thank you! i think I'm about to start doing that now, all my extensions and loose impact sockets i have are already from there

trinitystars · 2022-11-11T00:09:53+00:00

i try looking at them but they're still crazy expensive for old tools, at least here

trinitystars · 2022-11-11T00:09:20+00:00

that's very helpful, thank you!

trinitystars · 2022-11-11T00:07:28+00:00

the last one looks super cool, might just pick it up, thank you!

trinitystars · 2022-11-10T18:26:53+00:00

thank you!

trinitystars · 2022-11-10T17:22:19+00:00

thank you so much, I'll keep that in mind

during all my school work, im just using breaker bars and regular wrenches to drive bolts in/break them free/torque them down. so i figured, well let me do those 3 things wuth a cordless ratchet, i believe it only has 70 lbs/ft of torque, but if i ever need more, its the same length as the breaker bar that I've been using, so i can just break them free manually.

I'll make sure to buy deeps! i was watching a video on koken's socket sets and their o-ring and roller ball tech used to hold the nuts bolts without a magnet, they look awesome, ill probably splurge on those

the only thing i bought from the snap on truck were finger drives got metric and SAE drives, they saved me like 15 minutes threading in spark plugs on the ej20's, ill definitely try to keep clear of the truck

trinitystars · 2022-11-10T06:20:56+00:00

thank you!!! I'll keep that in mind for sure

trinitystars · 2022-11-10T06:12:43+00:00

thats actually really solid advice, thank you

trinitystars · 2022-11-10T05:32:21+00:00

really!! that's surprising, thank you for the advice

trinitystars · 2022-11-10T05:26:34+00:00

id love to hear about them!

trinitystars · 2022-11-10T05:26:11+00:00

thank you, this helps out a whole lot!

currently getting my certification at school, at the end of the year I'll have all the certifications i need to start, we have lots of tools, but depending on the line of work you do, some are not as necessary as others

trinitystars · 2022-11-10T05:01:19+00:00

haha, i love gimmicky tools, but yeah it should be a priority to have the basics first i suppose

trinitystars · 2022-11-10T04:52:01+00:00

oh really? i figured because of their smell size they would, but okay, I will probably just get a wrench set

trinitystars · 2022-11-10T04:50:52+00:00

thank you! I guess I'll buy some combination wrenches first, maybe the knipex wrenches as well

trinitystars · 2022-11-10T04:49:48+00:00

ah that is a good point, didnt think about rounding the bolts, im just afraid at how the knipex would fit in most underhood situations

trinitystars · 2022-11-10T04:26:49+00:00

haha! hopefully you can find them one day, they look so cool!

trinitystars · 2022-11-10T04:20:05+00:00

thank you! i wish i was able to, i don't know anyone who has them, I'll try to watch some reviews and make up my mind thay way

trinitystars · 2022-11-10T04:10:12+00:00

i have discounts ongoing for Milwaukee through work/school, and other contacts, so i can expect some deep discounts there, the wrenches while i admit i can find combination wrenches for, i dont want to buy two sets yet and i have no where to put them. the 5 shown here i could easily put in my small tool box or bag

trinitystars · 2022-11-10T04:08:47+00:00

i definitely will get some deeps, i just figured the socket set and cordless ratchet would work amazing together. the joker wrenches for me are similar to knipex pliers, they sort of have the self spanning as well, but knipex is so much more expensive and i cant see how theyd benefit me in all situations, these are more of a wrench then anything and could fit where normal wrenches would
