I picked up a Klein pass through socket set over the weekend. It feels like good quality, even though it’s a small set and I didn’t really need the pass through lol. I’m looking at their wrench sets and impact sockets too. Thinking about buying some new stuff and giving my older sockets and wrenches to my son so that he can have a small setup when he starts driving in a few years. I’ll likely go mostly Klein.

I have a Gearwrench pass through setup. Don't use it often but when I need it, it's AWESOME. It's worth it's weight in gold when you need it

I was thinking the same thing, it needs a ratchet to go with it. The ratchet and battery is $299 right now! I will wait until end of year to see if prices drop, and if they do I'll jump on it then.

I got the bare tool to use with the battery I got. I got it a day before I had to put a water pump in my Tahoe. Paid for itself right there.

I got the HF version. It comes in handy taking the front bumper off for sure. Don't forget to use anti-sieze when putting it back on.

Got a fluid pump for the differential fluid from hobo freight. Had one at one time, must’ve given it away or it failed- nice to have a pump to put in a bottle with a tube to pump directly into the diff, very little mess.

I use a garden sprayer,fill it with what ever fluid I need,give it a couple of pumps and fill diffs,gear boxes,etc. I spray all kinds of stuff through garden sprayers,Ospho, etc. a friend says he sprayed por15 through one to do inside his rockers.

The ability to put sockets on a cordless drill/driver is one of the most game-changing innovations of the 21st century.

Yes, and the improvement in cordless tools in general. I love being able to get things done quicker at the wrecking yards and on repairs on my own vehicles.
