Tool Wishlist

Pittsburgh Pro T-Handle Driver: It would make threading and unthreading nuts and bolts faster, especially in some really deep spots.

Pittsburgh 14 Piece Metric Set: Combination wrenches are always needed, especially in pairs.

Maddox Slide hammer and Puller Set: For some jobs, such as valve work, you need a slide hammer. Also great for pulling dents out of body paneling.

Slide Hammer and Bearing Puller Set, 5 Piece: A smaller slide hammer set for pulling bearings and valve seats.

US General 5 Drawer Tool Cart: I have a lot of tools, and the 9000 tool boxes I have are getting a little out of hand

Bench Grinder, and Bench Grinder Stand: I use the jesus out of my dad’s when I’m working on stuff at my dad’s house.

Portable Wheel Balancer: Unless you’re using performance tires on a performance vehicle, you really only need a static balance of your wheels. This can do the job quite well. It’s not difficult to use either. Here’s Scotty Kilmer using one.

Daytona Floor Jack: This jack has a pretty high clearance.

Electric Power Tools:

Because I bought into Harbor Freight’s Hercules brand battery system, the majority of these tools will be that battery system. However, there are a few that are not, for specific reasons.

20V Brushless Cordless 1/2 in. Ultra-Torque Impact Wrench: Having a cordless impact wrench that has an advertised breakaway torque of 1400 foot lbs would leave very little room for busting off any bolt I could think of encountering.

20V Brushless Cordless 4-1/2 in./5 in. Paddle Switch Angle Grinder: I’ve found that corded angle grinder’s are pretty annoying to use.

20V/12V Lithium-Ion Multivoltage Dual Port Charger with Dual USB: I’m probably going to have 3-4 batteries in both 20V and 12V, and while I won’t be burning through them all that fast, it would be nice to have a charger that could charge two at the same time.

20V Cordless 0-160 PSI Inflator - Tool Only, 20V 1.5 Ah Lithium-Ion Compact Battery, and 20V Lithium-Ion 3 Amp Rapid-Plus Battery Charger: It seems a little ridiculous to spend almost $100 on a little tire inflator. However, it would be nice to have something like this, where if I’m on a road trip, and my tire starts to get low air pressure, I can inflate it, and avoid having to take my spare out, and limp me back home so I can go get it fixed. I have a small inverter in my truck, so charging it on the road will not be an issue. Plus lithium ion batteries hold their charge quite well.
