Hi guys !
First of all, i’m a computer tech, i’m no professional, but I do my best to learn new things everyday.
I’m doing most of my repairs on my car since I have it (2002 Mazda Protegé, 220 500Km) and what helped alot in all those years, is my dad, who was a mechanic for 30+ years, sold his garage and kept his toolbox.
I’m living a bit far away (70km) so most of the times, I had to drive a bit to fix the car… well not anymore 🙂
I got myself this nice socket set for 70$ on sale :
http://www.canadiantire.ca/AST/browse/6/Tools/Sockets/SocketSets/PRD~0589244P/Stanley+Black+Chrome+Socket+Set%2C+164-pc.jsp?locale=enand a pair of wrenchs sets (SAE and Metric) for 25$ each
http://www.canadiantire.ca/AST/browse/6/Tools/Wrenches/ProfessionalWrenches/PRD~0588546P/Mastercraft+Maximum+14-piece+Wrench+Set.jsp?locale=enI really like the feel of this Stanley kit, the ratchets “clicks” are very close, the sockets holds strong , as there is a button to pess on the back of the ratchet’s head to insert or remove them, so no more dropping the sockets when trying to get to a hard to reach bolt B)
I really like the look and feel of it
I can shoot a small video showing the kit if you’d like 😉

Went on the Matco truck and bought a thread chasing kit and a pair of ratcheting hose clamp pliers. With those pliers its like you have a 3rd arm!

30mm hub socket for the back drums on an 01 focus…..its outrageous how you need a puller to get the drums off.

Well The last tool I bought for myself was a set of long wrenches(H.depot) and deep impact sockets(Lowes) for my Milwalkee impact driver. What I just got off the truck was a dewalt 12v drill for my GF to replace the one she had stolen out of her explorer. I work as an RV tech, and she has an RV shade/blind repair service. At the shop I have a surplus of tools that I can use every day, but I hate having to ask another tech to use thier air tools. I’m going to start building my own air tool collection but where to start? The other guys have alot of hodge podge collections, there all great, don’t get me wrong. They have worked at a lot of different places over the years and had access to a lot of different tool venders. I’m new to this,Iv’e been a weekend warrior/back yard mechanic for years, but this is my first round in an industry. For the passed 13 years I’ve been a professinal Chef and looking for something new; & got a lucky break. I’m looking for reviews and oppinions for air tools. What should I start with? Mac is who comes to our shop and one other tech who is new is a Snap-on guy, both companies sure are proud of thier products. I’ used Blue point and husky prods and all four worked great. In your oppinions what sould I start with?
