Jizzle Juice Posted February 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 that will do, just remember craftsman screwdrivers aren't worth a fuck! so if you can swing the money/payments get snap-on screwdrivers That could be a possibility i dont see why not why buy it twice? i have craftsman in my box, they warranty it just like the rest of them do. I want meaning buy them twice i was just saying start out with those and if they hold up continue buying them and if not buy another brand Not cool by me , buy fucking kobalt man you can turn anything in if it breaks and its made by snap on . and there is a god dam lowes on every corner. No hassle returns. And in 6 years I have only had 2. 1 was hammering a kobalt universal joint with a matco 1/2 (but wasnt the first time it saw that action) Before they broke did they last awhile or were they short lived? Check craigs list... There are some people hurting for money. You could get the basics for a fraction of the cost. Now the most important part, if anything breaks replace it with a high quality tool (snap on, mac, matco). Craigslist sounds like a good deal and the whole breaking and replacing thats what i was thinking about doing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SinisterSS Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 they don't check sound levels and there are a few louder than yours. its not going to hurt anything in the engine, its easier on the drive train than drag racing is. hmmm might have to look into this now, I thought in the rule book there was a sound level violation check because of the residential area's near by Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest 614Streets Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 Before they broke did they last awhile or were they short lived? I broke one 3/8 rachet and one 3/8 u joint , they lasted a long time and I was putting them through torture when i was at mph doing a gazillion brake jobs. I am talking kobalt for boxes and hand tools like rachets and sockets , outside of that especially impacts you have to step up to snap on or mac/matco/cornwell. Snap on screw drivers are great.

verse Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 Just don't go getting a big fancy toolbox until you are absolutely jammed in the box you have now. I did that and I regret it, finally paying it off and will be done with that next week. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug1647545489 Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 Not a service tech, but thankfully I haven't had to pay a dime for the tools I use. MAC sponsorship FTW! I've never broken anything MAC. And since they are free, lets say we are pretty hard on our tools. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1647545494 Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 Ok so im starting my new job and i need to know what tools are in your guys' toolboxes that are used to do the following jobs: Brakes Suspension Alignments Timing belts A/C Charging systems Exhaust/Mufflers You know service work And i know how to do all the things so no shitting in this thread please i just need to know from guys who have more experience than me. I worked at honda and did all of the above but im really good friends with one or few of the techs and they let me use there tools. So if anyone could give me a "list" or any input on what to get id be very grateful and thanks ahead of time for all the help i receive where are you going to be working? if you have the basics covered sockets wrenches screwdrivers impact tools just see what the other people you work with use and start making a list everytime you borrow something write it down then when you have money or feel like going into debt buy stuff and cross it off hth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
