I thought it would be great to start a thread.. where we could share.. info on tools that have made life easier.. I think whether they're store boughten.. or custom made.. I'm always in the quest for looking for an easier or better way..

Flowbench. I bought two and then I built one and it set up exactly how I wanted it. It has taught me so much over the years

Eastwood tubing flare tool. Very rarely am I impressed by a tool. This thing never gives a bad flare. Use it with steel, nicad, and stainless. Perfect every time.

Does it have a feature that bonks you on the head and reminds you to put the flare nut on?

I had thought that the battery impact was the handiest thing I had found in a long time. Until I found the battery ratchet.
It's even handier because I use it much more often than the impact. Plus it has a little light which I felt, at first, was gimmicky. But, it really helps these old eyes.

This is one of those tools that I've always just had hanging around.. weather I'm doing valve spring keepers or reaching for a washer or not that I've dropped.. it seems as though this is one of the tools that I find myself using more and more.. typically can be found at your local auto parts store or Grainger for around 10$

Now this Arrangement is something that I use at work often.. has tons options.. but more and more I find I'm using it in the garage.. I know there are fancy impacts that are cordless but this is what I have.. everything from changing wheel screws to zipping off the valve covers. I will even install my lug nuts.. and finish the job with a torque wrench of course. the adapters are available in quarter inch 3/8 and 1/2 inch..

Can that third member mount hold a trans as well.. Yes. The one I actually use is an old Blue Point that's very similar to the OTC pictured. I have tooling to mount Torqueflites by the ears on the case, or they can be hung by the bellhousing. I'll hang 904s by the pan bolt holes as well. Glides I use pan bolt holes. GM 3 speeds have a different u-shaped hanger. I've had all kinds of stuff hung on it.
If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.

I have this stuff in 12v - drill, impact, 90* drill, saw. Everybody wants the big 18 or 20v stuff, but these tools are light and compact, and suit my needs better. Much handier for most of what I do. I have big stuff, but these are the ones I use 98% of the time.

Summit geared engine stand. For 219.00, I can rotate a 700# bb with one hand.
Engine does not droop at all on stand. Stand weighs close to 100# compared to the standard summit 4 leg stand that's about 40# and flimsy.
I bought 2 of those because I liked it so much

Ya I bought my first one back when you could use your pro shop account and a 10% off coupon. That ended shortly after guys were selling them on Yellowbullet. When I went to buy my second one Summit wanted an over size shipping charge so I bought my second one from Jegs.

I would say my AMEX card has been used more than ANY tool in any of my toolboxes have. How else do you get parts ordered after all Never use a debit card for obvious reasons if there is some issue and AMEX is great when there is one. Also never used a credit card, buying or funding a racecar on credit can be a very bad thing. Buy the parts pay the card and move on.

Without an air compressor, I would get little done. I know for a fact after a snake got in the pulleys last year and blew the capacitors... what a mess

Yeah, racing on credit is bad,bad,bad. I've seen guys roll in to the track with a nice rig and top shelf stuff and so broke they couldn't pay attention. Debit card ran as a credit card and tied to an account with enough to pay for the stuff, period. Or a card with cash back and the bill paid every month.

Eastwood tubing flare tool. Very rarely am I impressed by a tool. This thing never gives a bad flare. Use it with steel, nicad, and stainless. Perfect every time. Just don't go king kong on the tool. I broke mine, cracked the back off where it holds the blocks. I think I can fix it by milling the back and attaching a steel plate to replace the part that holds the blocks in place.

I was on a project where I noticed a couple plumbers. Using these.. they told me that they had been using them for 8 hours a day for several months.. I can tell you I picked one up.. and it's probably one of the most used tools in my garage.. most of my work is done in the evening or at night.. about 30 bucks from Amazon

I bought a new workbench (storage unit) for clean head assembly and I was assorting all my engine and transmission tools and I found one tool I hope I NEVER have to use again. My old hand crank ring filer. LOL. I used to hate filing rings with that thing.

Lsm on the head valve spring compressor, once used you will appreciate. I can't stop buying LSM tools. Light and effortless. We just ordered a spring tester.

Thx Personally I like the NGK setup because it works with NTK 02's and they are more lead tolerant than the Bosch sensors. Also a good reason why the Holley Dominator ECU is cool as it also support NTK. NTK Wideband

Yeah, racing on credit is bad,bad,bad. I've seen guys roll in to the track with a nice rig and top shelf stuff and so broke they couldn't pay attention. Debit card ran as a credit card and tied to an account with enough to pay for the stuff, period. Or a card with cash back and the bill paid every month. Man you and Al are missing up my plan for pulling a 2nd out on the house and doing a new Engine program To hang with Whitedart and Jay Waxler what's a couple seconds amongst friends

Another tool I would never want to go without. I strip and assemble a lot of heads and this makes the job so easy. I cringed when I bought it. After using it I wish I'd bought it years ago. B1 Head by John Cadamore, on Flickr

Swivel joints for sockets Slotted socket for O2 sensor removal Vacuum gauge Torque Pro App with Bluetooth/Wifi OBD2 adaptor ($20 investment, worth it's weight in gold) 2 amp battery charger has saved me sooooo many batteries Grease-gun needle LED worklights My Lincoln TIG, Miller MIG and Arc welders. Transmission Jack Oh, and a front-end loader is real nice to have too.

I call this my transmission line speed wrench. The 12 points (well, 9 now) and narrow shoulder make it much easier to turn the fittings in the cramped underside of the car. I swear a lot less after making this tool. I like! Great idea Hump.

Craftsman and almost any other good tool makers offer those type wrenches in six sided tubing wrenches They are thicker on the edges and will work good for a long time without spreading out

Humpty's idea is when you have a tight work area and you can't get a turn big enough to get to the next flat with a 6 point, use the 12 point till you're close and finish tightening with the stronger 6 point.
