Author Message   Cravacor Posted on Thursday, March 25, 2010 - 03:19 pm:        I'm planning to get some new tools today & am looking for recommendations. What are folks using? For the 5mm allen bolts? T-Handle, sockets? 1/4", 3/8", etc. For the T-30 torx bolts? Thanks!   Drawkward Posted on Thursday, March 25, 2010 - 04:36 pm:        There are more opinions than there are tools in your toolbox bud. Get what you like.   Cravacor Posted on Thursday, March 25, 2010 - 04:50 pm:        Yeah I figured such, but wanted to know if anyone has a particular nice 5mm that has the "cut-corners" for getting at bolts on funny angles. I'm just going to rummage through whatever Lowes has. I have a tool box full of Mac-Matco-Snap-On from my old car wrenching days, but neither of these in a 1/4" socket or fancy T-Handle...   Usanigel Posted on Sunday, March 28, 2010 - 11:30 pm:        I'm using sockets cause thats what I have. Mine came from Craftsman, had them for 15 years and still working fine. Just a little polished from use but NO rounding at all. Stay away from the cheap stuff with these items.
