When things get tough... nothing beats a good 'ol BMFH! ;)

Many times growing up working on stuff with my friends, this term was used atleast once a night! :D

All you need in a Shop is Vice Grips. Zip Ties and Duct Tape. You can do anything.

gotta love the air tools... ratchet wrenches are real nice to have... oh and the nicest thing of all is a shop chair, the little rollie ones about a foot off the ground. saves your knees

I LOVE my cordless impact. Its a dewalt 12v 3/8. It is perfect for quads.


But my budie has a snap-on cordless impact. the thing is awosem. It has enough power to take lug nuts off a car but is graceful enough to tighten up a valve cover.


I love tools!

Ain't that the truth

Wrenches, my trusty old prybar, a good throwing arm is handy, and when things get tough or I get pissed I break out the plasma cutter.
