I used to be a tech and plan to be one again once the auto industry picks up again.



My ratchets probably cost more than your entire tool set.....I have a 42 inch 1/2 drive ratchet I use for busting stubborn nuts and bolts loose that cost me about $150.
Probably. I have a 25" 1/2" breaker bar that gets the job done. I also have air tools with a decent impact gun. I couldn't get some axle nuts loose the other day with my weight on them, but the impact gun got them no problem.

ive never had my own place to put up a stationary box, so this is all ive ever had. its full of all of my best rusty old tools
Nah, its not that. I've tried breaking loose a crank bolt that an impact gun with 1000 ft/lbs of reverse torque could no break loose and non of my tools broke.
