If you’re like me and fully intent to make a vehicle last for 30 years, then No.

i absolutely could not work without the Modis. it doesn’t have all the fancy extras that the Verus does but i can live with that.

OTC makes a very nice set that is very reasonably priced.

there is only one oil out there that is good enough for my engine… Delo 400.

i like pumping the pedal better, but that is definitely the second best way IMO.

Quoted From gatiszvejnieks:

Can You give a description about relay tester, spark tester, and leak down tester, how did you made them?

the relay tester is a normal automotive relay wired up to a two way switch and a dual filament light bulb. when the switch is off the lower filament is lit. when the switch is turned on it supplies power to the control curcuit of the relay, thus closing the relay and illuminates the upper filament in the bulb.

the spark tester is a spark plug mounted in a piece of white conduit. the conduit has a window cut in it near the end of the plug so you can observe the spark. the other end of the pipe has a nut jbwelded into it. a bolt with a sharpened end passes through the nut and creates the ground for the plug. a wire and alligator clip have been soldered to the end of the bolt.

the leak down tester is an old compression tester hose that I’ve taken the schrader valve out of and fitted with a regulator. not too original but it works for me.

the majority of everything i have is SO and Cman, with a little of everything else mixed in. Cornwell, MAC, Proto, GearWrench, Blue Point, IR, etc.

If you buy a 3/8” cordless impact/screwdriver, get dewalt. the 7.2v SO don’t have anywhere near the power. if you buy flex head ratchet wrenches, get the locking flex.

i do like my 24” Breaker. had a matco one first it was alright, then traded it for a SO one. like that one a lot more.

[southpark]

relay tester, spark tester, leak down tester, etc. have a drawer full of modified/repurposed tools.

’60’s, ’70’s and ’80’s. love the stuff. still listen to cassettes, just like them better.

fav tools, hmmm… i’d say my HL138ACP, FHLF80, and PP3.

[southpark]

i think if you’re just a weekender that will make it hard for you to justify SO tools. if Kobalt/Cman/NAPA/Matco has worked for you so far, no need to upgrade. however if you have the money and its burning a hole in your pocket i would recommend investing in a Dual80. the misses won’t be able to keep ya in bed Saturday morning after ya get it.
