Wow, what an impressive collection of tools, I mean, I'd have expected such high quality pro grade tools to be in a master mechanics home shop, but you have everything to like do pro auto repair, or so it seems.
Thanks AJ. I have a LONG way to go to catch up with you MR. Jones's. LOL. Really nice selection. I think I actually have one you don't, A transmission Jack, or did you for get to show it? PS what is a torque limiting Sticks at 1:45, don't think I've seen those before? Thanks for sharing. Now get busy making some more videos so we can see how to use them when we buy them.

Nope I don't have a transmission jack, but I sure wish I did. The last few trans I pulled I used all muscle power to get them down and that really sucked. When the tranny went back in I used several ratchet straps ran across the frame rails and I ratcheted the transmission up in place. That method works but not like a trans jack. Torque sticks are used with impact guns and they are used to avoid over-tightening fasteners (usually lug nuts). Torque sticks have a certain torque built in and when that torque is reached they flex and resist further tightening of the fastener. So basically if you need to torque a lug nut to 100ftlb you might use a 80ftlb torque stick and zip all the lug nuts on with an impact gun, and then go back with a torque wrench and finish off the lug nuts and torque them to spec. It can be hard to gauge with an impact gun on how tight your fasteners are, so torque sticks just limit torque on impacts. I hope that makes sense. Hey thanks for watching and thanks for the nice comments, I appreciate it. Have a good day.
Mighty selection !!
Thank you for sharing. Good set of tools.

impressive! I go to estate sales to seek these type tools. Wives rarely know or use what they are for. Now you have me cranked to go hunting again.
