What's your favourite tool?
« on: 01 June 2015, 21:34:20 »
As above.

I think ive now used most car mechanics tools, and sampled some of the more specialist tools.

But out of my tool kit I'd say by far it's a choice between:

Makita 18v cordless impact gun. This thing usually blasts any nut loose, takes ten mins to charge from empty and is light enough to use. I've also dropped it from about 4ft on a number of occasions and it's been fine. Love it.

Secondly. . . My 600mm 1/2" sealey ratchet. Flex head with a stop. It's just so nice. So much leverage. Really nice smooth ratchet.

Finally. My halfords 1/4" ratchet and deep socket combo. This just feels nice especially when working on pollen filter housing bolts. Can't tell u why but love it.

What's yours?

So many choices!

Vacuum pressure bleeder. It means billy no mates here can bleed clutch/brakes/diesel lines.
Britool 3/8 swivel head ratchet. It's a pleasure to use, when the swivel isn't nipping your fingers.
3rd is more difficult, I love my shallow/deep 6pt Snap On sockets, but I'm currently trialling a impact gun I like and I've just bought some of those fancy ass 'Multi-Drive' sockets, but I've yet to use them in anger.

My torque wrench. It cost a bomb in the early seventies and lives in the car with a wheel nut socket on it.

One of my pet hates are overtightened wheel nuts.
