Re: Automotive Tools

Knowing the guy, he won't really have an idea thus he prolly wants a set to begin with. Even if most would advise to get a 1/2" drive, the sockets on the set would suffice for basic car work.

Taking this chance, would the bar tension wrenches be accurate enough? I asked since the micrometer version are too impractical for for its price just for a few actual usage. The thing I just don't want about is it's enormous size 😀

If it's just DIY I suggest he gets the 3/8' drive socket wrench set. If he wants to do suspension work then he's better off stepping up to 1/2" drive.

Are you talking about a torque wrench like this?

If yes then there are some KD Tools ( USA ) available somewhere in T. Alonzo for around 1.5K or less. 3/8" drive probably up to 150 ft-lb max torque. For me I like these old school Torque Wrenches except that you've got to have a line of sight on the pointer to get proper reading.

Okies, all noted. Thanks again Jay!

Re: Automotive Tools

Here's a good tool for engine diagnostics. It's new to us and will take some time to really get used to it. I consider diagnostic tools to be a good investment as it helps narrow down or pinpoint engine related problems. It's like a step away from the " Shoot now and ask questions later" approach.

Vacuum Gauge

Re: Automotive Tools

Is that the one that you could use for pressure hold-ups in the radiator and fuel modules?

No. This one is for the purpose below.

Gauge reads 0 to 30" mercury (0 to 76 cm). Tester supplies an outside vacuum source for checking vacuum-operated devices: carburetors, EGRs, EPRs, heaters, air-conditioning systems, etc. Includes metal cone, rubber cone, and 2' hose.

I like the fenders covers, parang hindi nagagamit =p Most shops that I see using that have very poorly maintained ones, sayang lang yun original use nya yung magagasgas or madudumihan lang din naman yun fenders.

@Timb .. which model is your Snap ON 3/8" drive ratchet? Is it an F936 ( w/o the quick release )?

Re: Automotive Tools

This one is a useful tool. A wobble extension set. It gives up to 16 degrees of slant in order to avoid wrenching obstructions. 1/4" drive.

Re: Automotive Tools

@Timb,

If ever you have spare time can you please post some pics of your 3/8" drive SO ratchet. The FR936 I got has a cover that does not seem to be 100% flush with the ratchet body ( angat konti sa me bandang ulo ) . I wonder if I should open it up to check plus lube it. The ratchet works fine and the gearing smooth and except for this small detail all is fine with it. I just wonder if it's really like that.

Thanks
