hah i saw that the other day also! couldn't believe it....thought armin would of been in there and thought deadmau5 would of been higher tbh.. but seriously this wanker dj pauly d.. wtf, who would pay to see him..

Pauly D doesn't do concerts, he just does gigs at iconic nightclubs for excessive appearance fees. I know this because every 6 months some retarded club sends me an SMS trying to sell me tickets to an event featuring him...you couldn't pay me to go to that shit.

That seems like a very good set Martin, might need to save up for one.

Anyone here prefer to use metric instead of the imperial units???

Depends what you're working on, Imperial are pretty useless for Jap cars unless you have a f**ked bolt the right socket just won't go onto right as everything is in metric. If you're working on old school Yank tanks all the time though you'd probably find Metric are a bit useless instead.

The amount of cheap tools I've gone through...

Sidchrome set has not failed once in the now 2 years of having it

Kinchrome are great though cus dat lifetime warranty.

what he said.

Metric for Jap cars, eg Nissan

Imperial for USA/old cars eg mustang, thus why I need both.

if your only touching the stagea you can get by with just metric.

Kinchrome are great though cus dat lifetime warranty.

depending oh when you bought sidchrome has lifetime.

they dropped it for a while but brought it back last time I checked (ie when I bought some)

broke one of dad's sidchrome extensions years ago, had massive breaker bar with a pole on a converter extension.

walked into local store got replaced no receipt needed. awesome...

that said the old man had the best set, every socket from 2mm to 1 inch drive 100+ mm (used for taking tractor rims off)

and some Kunt stole the lot one night.

heat makes metal expand, then when it cools it contracts a tiny bit and it breaks free.

just dont do it with an industrial blow torch directly on the CAS to remove it without asking the customer then tell them they will probably need a new crank when they pick it up like a certain workshop did to a member here

please explain?

<3 my Stanley tools. It's a basic set, but you could take apart a car with it and only $200. I love it because there's no useless tools I can't see myself using, like the cheap 200 piece sets for half the price. Plastic handles = easy grease wipe off.

Ha good read. Odd that shm would split when being in the top 10. Will see how they perform in their separate ways.

My main tools are:

56(???) Piece Metric/Imperial Kincrome 1/2" Socket Set

8 - 19mm Ratchet Spanners ($60ish from Repco)

6 - 19mm Stanley Angled Ring Spanners

They've never failed to get the job done...

Sometimes one set isn't enough, eg undoing an exhaust bolt when you need 2 x 17mm spanners at the same time.

?

Yes. One million times, Yes.

Hell I'd be happy with just the top section with a few drawers ^_^

my Stahlwille spanners are the bees niys

got sidchrome sockets for everything else, but could do with some ratchet spanners.

the Total Tools home brand ones do break if tested, but (depending on the warranty) will just give you another one right then and there. no paperwork and no receipt.

    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
    • On the bright side, the weather will turn much nicer for working outside shortly....sounds like you might need to start on a neighbour's garden next
