Using my cheap Wally World electric impact wrench last night got me thinking of tools that I bought that I was on the fence about when I got them, that I could not live without.
That cheap impact and the associated sockets, swivel adaptors, and extensions that cost almost as much as the impact itself; has made removing stuck fasteners in difficult to reach areas while doing work on jack stands where I can’t swing a breaker bar a breeze. Keep in mind I don’t live in the rust belt. Would have killed for this when I lived in Buffalo.
Honorable mention goes to my extendable ratchet from Tractor Supply. Picked it up for $10 because I was killing time while my wife shopped at an adjacent store. 1/2” on one side 3/8” on the other. Used it as a fine ratchet in a pinch, a breaker bar, a hammer, and a punch.
I’d love to hear what awesome tools you were on the fence about when purchasing but couldn’t live without now.
