What’s your best buy DIY garage tools?

This has been a really handy tool. I bought it last November anticipating I would use it to cut slots in stripped bolt heads and I’ve used it twice now for other jobs to get into places I couldn’t reach without the flex extension.

It’s like a dental drill. It was definitely worth the $33. I looked for something like this at the local Lowe’s and Home Depot stores but couldn’t find anything. The reviews of knock-off models indicated they were junk. The Dremel I have was made in the USA but the flex shaft is made in Mexico.

A proper roll cab. A Snap on one good used came up locally and I couldn't resist. Plenty of storage space and heavy duty cab weighs about 200 / 250kg empty made of sturdy stuff. USA made I believe

This is a limited edition one no 148 of 500.

(Stuffed in beside a C124 for now until I clear a better spot for it!)

Something new to me which I love - a Hazet 162N Assistent trolley🙂

This model/spec was made between 1982 - 1989 and is stamped "W-GERMANY". Above pictures are from when I was re-assembling it after receiving in the mail from a seller in Poland.

There are tabs on each side you squeeze and the trays collapse nice and neatly. Here's what it looks like stowed away

When you're ready for a job, you just drag it into place and pull the trays up. It's already loaded with special tools, brake bleeding equipment, and oil filters 😀
