I know of tool forums where the members would want to come around and shoot out your patio light with a .22 for saying that Trav!.I say my KC Professional spanners are about 30- 40 percent thicker in the shank than a Sidcrome?yet no thicker in the ring so they fit where others do, I like them.We have CAT spanners at work that are probably 30 percent thicker than my KC Pro`s..

_John_ Member 287 Member For: 14y 1m 9d Gender: Male Posted 03/03/11 07:40 AM Share Posted 03/03/11 07:40 AM Man I had about a 30 minute troll through all my tool forums and found jack sh!t.I`ll have look again tonight, I wanna know too, lol.Some say Ingersoll Rand, but that gets shot down it flames. Its some other brand. All the Snap On Snobs even agree on it.But even some of those agreed that Ingersoll Rand air tools had an edge on Snap On.Now, I`ll clarify right here I`m no Snap On hater. Snap On is the bench mark, I`m happy to look into anything that's considered its equal at a better price, or anything that exceeds it at any cost.

Posted 16/04/11 07:36 AM Share Posted 16/04/11 07:36 AM Hey guys.I am picking up a xr6 turbo *soon* * When I find the right one* But I am wanting to know whats the best tools for these cars? As in I am currently investing in quality tools for the garage and just wanted to know what peoples opinions are on what brand of tools. I am currently looking at a proper socket set as I only have cheap crap, but I have been looking at kingchrome or sydchrome. But how do say repco tools match up to these? I know they all have life time warranty but yeah just how do they match up? Was thinking just a half inch drive and a 40 piece. What else should I invest in?Might sound like a weird topic but there is only one way to learn right? Just sick of buying crap =/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingchrome are not as good as they used to be, I've broken a few of their spanners. Sidcrome I've found to be good, im a big fan of their ratchets. A few other brands SP tools, are cheap but suprisingly good so far for me and T&E Tools socket sets aren't too bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I will just invest in a sidchrom set and keep them for a loooong time. Whats the tools I need to replace the spark plugs in the xr6t? Im mainly talking about the one closest to the fire wall. I know you need some sort of angling tool to get in there? Its a 5/8 socket as well with a rubber bit in it or magnet to ay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue-point are a cheaper snap-on brand just as good imo.Sidchrome are good tools as well.IMO Repco arent bad.Iv'e had my repco spanner's and sockets for 8 years now and I use them 5 days a week at work.The only time I need to replace them is when I lose one or really using the sockets on a rattle gun.Maybe the current repco tools are bad, not sure, but my 8 year old one's are great.Invest in a good ratchet (Snap-on or Sidchrome) becuase most of the cheap one's will end slipping and causing you grief.Get some wobble drive extension's for getting into angle's.Oil Filter strap.Torx bit's for airbox and plastic panel's.Telescopic magnet.Long, long-nose plier's may help to get to plugs if the magnet dosent work.Decent work light, I find the versa-light that snap-on sells to be great. (still going after 4 years)Magnetic bolt tray.Guard covers.The list could go on forever a man never has enough tools.Also a man's shed is never big enough.
