Come back later for Motorcycle specific tool recommendations.
Here I will list my fav tools I use in the garage.
Thomas’ TOP TEN TOOLS:
I try to always buy tekton tools. Well designed and great value. Send an email with the broken tool, they’ll send you a replacement free of charge and lightning fast!
Next time you go to calranch, walk down the tekton isle.
I don’t like the traditional socket sets, I like the socket rails. You twist to take them off and its easy on off.
#1 Milwaukee 2457-20 M12 Cordless 3/8″ Lithium-Ion Ratchet (Bare Tool)
#2 TEKTON 3/8 Inch Drive 6-Point Socket Set, 19-Piece (6-24 mm) | SHD91110
https://amzn.to/35LoCIz I paid $39
I’ve tried a dozen socket sets, this is easy to store and use.
#3 TEKTON 3/8 Inch Drive Hex Bit Socket Set, 10-Piece (3-10 mm) | SHB91102
https://amzn.to/370SqRZ I paid $25
#4 TEKTON Everybit Ratchet Screwdriver and Bit Set (135-Piece) | 2841
#5 KNIPEX Tools – Pliers Wrench, Chrome (8603250), 10-Inch
https://amzn.to/3hGYlxr (these seem pricy, but they are on EVERY project I do. I have a shop set and an infield set.
#6 KNIPEX Tools – Cobra Water Pump Pliers (8701250)
https://amzn.to/3Ki39G5 You want both types. These are the most used tool in my shop. They are strong/tough and can get into tough spots. Watch the project farm on how tough these are. I bet one of my grand kids gets my set.
#7 TEKTON 1916 Combination Wrench Set, Inch/Metric, 1/4-Inch – 1-Inch, 8 mm – 24 mm, 24-Piece
No longer available, but maybe setup a camelcamelcamel alert
I have a set and I got one for my son, they are THE BEST value.
Next best:
TEKTON Ratcheting Combination Wrench Set, 12-Piece (8-19 mm) – Pouch | WRN53190
#8 TEKTON Ball End Hex Key Wrench Set, 26-Piece (3/64-3/8 in., 1.27-10 mm) | 25282
https://amzn.to/3KcsAbV I love these so much, I should get another set, but I got my son a set.
#9 TEKTON 3/8 Inch Drive Impact Screwdriver Set (7-Piece) | 2905
https://amzn.to/3tqGhxl (this is a critical, you NEED this, get it before you need it – great for getting stuck parts)
#10 WORKPRO 3-piece Quick Change Folding Pocket Utility Knife Set with Belt Clip
https://amzn.to/3hCpce5 Amazon says I’ve ordered 13 sets of these! I give them out for Christmas often. I love having a cut everything knife, and to sharpen it I swap a blade. They are high quality, small and easy to carry in a pocket. I pry, cut, pound, whatever I need to do.
Next time you see me, ask me for one and I’ll give you the one I’m carrying. Its a great prepper seed to get people started in carrying every day.
