Re: My tool cart
I got one about 5 min from work, and it's about 30 minutes from home. So I usually think what I need first then go get it after work, before working on the cars. But I love it, if you need a cheap tool to do something one time, is the place to go.
Example: Taking the fuel rails of the WRX, you can't get a rachet in there, you can't get a regular wrench in there. I tried for about 4 hours, not kidding. I was to a point about to give up. All it took was a trip to HF, for 90 degrees angle wrenches, about $7.99 and the stupid fuel rails where out in 5 minutes. There's nothing like feeling stupid for not going before to the store, and wasting all that time for nothing.
Never again, if I need something, drop everything and go and buy the right tool.
