My top five tools:
Grey Pneumatic Impact Hex Driver Set — These are great to use with or without an impact wrench; much stronger than the two-piece tools that strip out. I have never broken one.
Ingersoll Rand 1/2” Air Impact Wrench — Very strong with more than 600 lbs. of torque. It will handle the toughest jobs.
Chicago Pneumatic 3/8” “Butterfly” Style Air Driver — This is small enough to hold and operate both forward and reverse in the palm of your hand. Very handy for tight spaces.
Superior Tool Co. 10”, 14” and 18” Aluminum Pipe Wrenches — Light and strong. Great for suspension work and those partially stripped nuts/bolts/studs that a normal tool won’t touch.
Millermatic 140 Mig Welder — This is a great welder — the Auto-Set feature takes the guesswork out of setup. Weld up to 3/16” steel — truly the mechanic’s friend.
