I picked up an impact wrench at Sears today and I must say I am very happy with it. I used to do all my work with hand tools and it was getting too frustrating. Now I want to go pick up a air socket wrench for those harder to reach places.

I really recommend picking up a compressor and air tools if you do a decent amount of work on your car.

 

It all starts with an Impact wrench next thing you know your garage is Full of them

 

What does a impact wrench do?? hehe

 

I had gotten an air wrench a while ago and it sucked. Couldn't break the bolts on my header for the life of it. Think it was running at ~100psi. Nothing beats a little elbow grease. Air tools are only good if you have the $$$ to get the good stuff. Rather spend the money on mods.

 

Good High Quality tools are a excellent investment. It took me many years to pay for my snap-on stuff (I was a mechanic for a while) but I will never regret having them, Nor will I ever get rid of them.

 

i know..those snap-on salesman make it so easy to buy stuff..here take this 8,000 dollar tool box..well work out the payments later..

 

Yes, but look at any racing team, and look in their tool box. Chances are you wont see Craftsman, but Snap-On only. Look at the Japanese racing teams, same thing. Pay a little more for the best.
