5 tap and die set. When you deal with rusty bolts sometimes the threads get damaged. 4 my scan tool. The ability to see all relevant data in a few seconds vs. Having to manually test is a huge advantage. 3 gearwrenches. Great for bolts in really tight spaces. 2 my long screwdrivers. Great for screws that are hard to get to. 1 definitely my impacts. 1/4 inch and 1/2

100% the 3/8 snap on air impact. It’s the best for tearing down everything on trucks. Almost as strong as 1/2 guns I’ve seen. My 1/2 snap on air impact takes lug nuts off tractor trailer wheels

Vinny Kapschock I had the mg325 and mg725 for that matter but I have seen the light and switched to Matco composite 1/2 and 3/8. Made by Ingersoll Rand. I also had the snap on pt850. Check out the Matco MT2769 1/2 and the MT2220 3/8. More working AND breakaway torque. 1300 ft lbs of breakaway torque on 1/2. I’d like to add that my box is snap on and like 85% of my tools are also, but impact wise I’m really glad I switched to the Matco composites. They’re just better.

I have to agree the Snap on BJ press is a beast. Works where others won’t. I agree about the price though, double the price of an otc brand kit. And I’ve backed off on Snap on cordless. Too expensive , batteries become obsolete and gun becomes useless. I’ve switched To Milwaukee and I think they out perform Snap on, cheaper and batteries can be bought anywhere. Batteries warrantied 2 years. I would add the Snap on 3/8” drive swivel sockets on 8” extensions. They are an awesome tool. Quickly tear down an engine with them.

I love this question. I know a lot of people knock on someone for not always using Snap On or other mechanic name brand tools but these hand tool kits that you can find at any big box stores can be life savers. And they are all right there and not slung all over the place. I think the one thing you always have to have is a good long breaker bar and as many swivels sockets, universals, and extensions that you need to get the job done.

The best air impact guns are from AirCat. These impacts just really get the job done. If a friend's other brand gun can't get it done. They'll come over and borrow the AirCat. It's not the name or how fast it spins. It's how much work it gets done.

Because when you hit it with your hammer it drives the tool into the head, less chance of slippage and stripping. Regular impacts try to climb out. It's a physics thing.
