Confession time

[AutobahnSHO]

If I'm in my own garage I now have pipes that fit on my ratchet as well as my breaker bar...

I was shopping for battery drills a few weeks back and they now have battery drivers too- they're pretty big so it would only work if you had space but I wonder if they couldn't build a 90 degree angled version?.....

Anyone active in this thread should also have a can of this in their shop:

You're welcome.

I do. Get it at Napa. But I was working on the boat, which is 20 minutes from my house where my good tools are.

I literally do that almost every time I work on a car. Alot of times its the only way to get a tool in the place. A straight ratchet or breaker bar may not fit in the area and you have to do that. Can also be combined with stubby wrenches. I also use pipe over wrenches aswell. I have been known to shave down wrench ends, slot boxed end ones, heat and bend wrenches. I also use socket extensions to drive out bolts, and deep sockets with extensions to bend bolts or threaded rod to my whims.

Been there , done all of that. I have quite a collection of bent, ground down and otherwise modified wrenches plus some home made ones - if I ever need to tighten the gearlever collar on an early Lotus Elan I have the tool for it!

Why buy a valve stem remover when you can carve one out of a flat head. It's not full finished yet but I have been able to use my brake rotor bender for a few aluminum projects.
