look what showed up at my door today
 

last sunday, I was at PepBoys(seemed to be the only autoshop open) getting my brakes done. Seemed like I was there waiting forever (5 hours). Bastards! So I says to myself, I coulda done that in less time, and saved money!

3 days later, these show up at my door. O0 :o :D

yup, air hose only.. air compressor is back ordered :'(

Impact tools are on the way.. that will be all for this month.. but I will slowly get more tools as the need arises. I think a tool box is next on the list.

wait, pepboys sent you all that for taking forever on your brakes?? ???

Re: look what showed up at my door today
 

looks like alot of low dollar harbor frieght junk

you paid to have brakes done? haha

Re: look what showed up at my door today
 

Congratulations on buying some shitty,taiwan tools.

Re: look what showed up at my door today
 

my thoughts exactly, and at pepboys none the less, i wouldnt trust a $200 beater in there, i walked into one once back in oregon and those morons knew nothing, took me 5 minutes to realize they had half a brain between about 20 employee's, walked out and never went in again

Re: look what showed up at my door today
 

My mom can change her own brakes. Seriously. :l

I wouldnt be trying bragging about Chinese cave tools but none the less congrats on buying yourself some tools so you can quit paying people to work on your car.Next step buy a manual for your car or if it is available download it.

Re: look what showed up at my door today

Re: look what showed up at my door today
 

i want your mom, i cant do ---- w/o tools.

chinese cave tool pwnage pics cominmg soon!

Re: look what showed up at my door today
 

This is kinda pointless. Just a bunch of cheap tools. I don't see what the big deal is.

Re: look what showed up at my door today
 

you'd cheap out and buy a shitty torque wrench? heh, i guess you'll learn why everyone doesnt go out and buy those then build race engines, yourself

Re: look what showed up at my door today
 

should have bought the other type of torque wrench and the only tools needed (other than a jack) to change you brakes is a wrench and a big c clamp and takes about an hour hopefully you learned your lesson

Re: look what showed up at my door today
 

if it takes you an hour you must not do it much :l

it doesnt even take me an hour to swap a rear end and be on the road again let alone do my brakes

i assume what he bought the tools for is to start workin on his car instead of paying out the ass for someone to, so props to him, but he will learn with time that shitty tools just complicate the job and give more headaches then there worth, and a good set of tools are worth there weight in gold when workin on a car (or anything else for that matter) you can cut corners in some area's, but a tourqe wrench would not be one i'd cut :l

Re: look what showed up at my door today
 

yeah i just did my mom's brakes. 94-97 accords suck >:( it took me forever cuz the honda bastard engineers put the caliper between the fork and the hub, so i had to pull apart the suspension and use a press to get the hub out. :X

but hey man,at least you got tools now, it'll get you started w/ workin on your car. at this point i don't think you're about to start pullin apart your engine and ----. sounds like you wanna do your brakes and change your oil and ----.

Re: look what showed up at my door today
 

i think thats about how long it took me my first time changing brakes. i have only changed them about 4 time each time on a different car

Re: look what showed up at my door today
 

I killed plenty of cheap ass ratchets pulling the rear suspension off of a junked out CRX. Finally took a 1/2" drive craftsman to it and that did the trick.

rofl @ this thread

You went to pepboys to get your brakes changed

You bought a bunch of random, useless, shitty chineese tools. like a bench seat thing, a generic torque wrench and prybars.

:-X

lol

c clamp/ wrench/ jack = brake change tools.

hahahahahahaha

Re: look what showed up at my door today
 

You should ------- kill yourself for having Pepboys work on your car. Better yet head over to www.turboD16.com All those guys have a "Mechanic" ::)

Re: look what showed up at my door today
 

Only thing that thing is good for is as a large 1/2" ratchet. Seriously dude, you don't need one of those for doin your brakes. And if you do ever decide to get a "real" torque wrench, go talk to Snap-On or Mac...think i paid close to $180 for my snap-on T-W, but i'll never have to worry about how far out of specs it is like that el-cheapo one probably is.
