I'm looking for a good digital torque wrench because I hate clickers. Is Snap-On still a pretty good quality brand for this type of torque wrench?

Skyssx posted:CDI torque is snap-on's wrench manufacturer for all their clickers. Great but expensive. Snap-On branded dial types are still fantastic... if you like dials. I used to work with a guy who loved his Hitachi cordless impact, never saw him have any problems with it. I, personally, prefer Makita just because I fell in love with their 18v Li-ion hammer drills and impact drivers as soon as they came out. The only problem I've had with either tool in 4-5 years is the chuck getting stripped out on the hammer drill.

What kind of creepers do you guys like? I just started what will be a lengthy project on an e30 and I realized I finally need to get one. This one seems like a good idea: http://www.amazon.com/Dale-Adams-Enterprises-4031-Bone-ster/dp/B0000DEZNE/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1291692921&sr=8-7 Does anyone have any experience with it? Any recommendations?

Dazzleberries posted:Everything I read about these boxes says they are twice as good as craftsman or HD/lowes boxes for a lot less money. You can get it for 349$ with a coupon (look on garage journal or slick deals). I'm seriously considering getting one this week. drat, maybe I should have spent another $100 and gotten this instead of the Craftsman set I just picked up.

I need something for organizing and identifying the numerous nuts/bolts that I will be taking off of this e30 project I've got going. What would be ideal for this purpose?

Where in the poo poo can I find a complete set of 3/8" drive metric sockets (6-24mm or so)? HF doesn't have anything more than 10 pieces, and everywhere else I've looked wants to sell them individually.

PBCrunch posted:Once you get past 19mm you are looking at 1/2 drive sockets. Below 10mm you are going to be using 1/4 drive. I kind of figured that out in my head yesterday as I was thinking about what I would be doing with 3/8" drive sockets. Thanks for the reminder.

Anyone try out the harbor freight engine support bar? I just need it to support my 1.8l M42 in an e30 while I drop the front subframe. Unfortunately I don't have the room in this loving single car garage for an engine crane or I'd make the investment.

if anyone ever needs a wire wheel attachment for an angle grinder, I would not recommend the HF stuff... they throw the bristles out at speed and they will stick into you if you have skin exposed

QuarkMartial posted:Will this HF electric impact wrench kill me if I use it to take the lugnuts off my tires? It's been stated numerous times in this thread that anything electric or battery powered sold by HF is pretty terrible. However, I have had good luck with their heat gun. I would spring for a nice one, like a Makita. It's a very good tool to have around.

DreamOn13 posted:Any suggestions for a cordless impact? I used a snap on one at a shop once and it was awesome, but I probably don't even want to know how expensive. It was great for lug nuts and such, which would be nice for track days and the like. Any cheaper alternatives? makita!!!

Everyone should know that amazon is currently carrying torin products. Their jacks stands are of higher quality than HF stuff and costs slightly lest via amazon. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_2_10?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=torin+jack+stand&x=0&y=0&sprefix=torin+jack I just ordered two pair of the 6 ton to replace a set of my HF 6 ton. Last time I was working on my Audi one of the ratchets broke(luckily it broke so that I couldn't lower the jack stand instead of collapsing). It was the first time I had used that jack stand. Also, this is a pretty loving awesome deal for a nice racing jack and two stands: http://www.amazon.com/OTC-1533-Aluminum-Racing-Capacity/dp/B002QMV70M/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1319732859&sr=8-1

The main reason I like their jack stands more is because of the locking pin. Extra safety is good.

Anyone around here use the QuickJack system or know anyone who does? It looks sketchy as gently caress and I'm pretty sure I saw it in a god drat magazine. http://www.quickjack.com/shop-quickjack-products-all/shop-quickjack-vehicle-jack-systems/bl-5000slx-ac-110-volt.html Are there any other options similar to this?

Anyone have recommendations for a sub-$250 borescope? I need it to have led lighting on the head and it needs to be able to fit in a spark plug hole.

Any opinions on the Aircat 800? I'm delving into air tools and my first purchase will be a quiet low torque 1/4" air ratchet for tiny fasteners.
