I never get tired of tool reviews. after almost 30 years in the field I still want more tools...its a constant argument point with my wife..lol..cheers Charles

well you can tell her that "if she stops buying shoes you will stop buying tools" then she wont argue with you anymore :)

Fuck parts, from now on I'll just buy tools 😂😂

@alexispinamontiel9983 5 жыл бұрын

As an Audi tech myself, I did buy a couple of foams myself, and as soon as they hit the toolbox I started using them. I didn’t buy the whole set because some tools I already had. However these tools are great quality and cannot be beat for the price or organization you get with them. For any upcoming Technician I certainly recommend you buy some foams or this set before getting in debt with your local tool truck, because like always these aren’t the only tools you’ll need. Don’t hesitate “your tools are a reflection of your work.”

you need a long 1/4 ratchet. I made my with the 1/4 breaker bar that's about a foot long, then added the 1/4 ratchet head (I did this a while back, now snap on sells this already made) and it's the handiest ratchet working on audis at the dealership level.

@gglovato 7 жыл бұрын

Hey Charles, how do you decide which tool to use when you have several options on the same size?(like torx screwdriver vs torx L style). Also, when do you use 6 point sockets versus 12 point sockets?(and when to use 3/8" vs 1/2" for the same socket size?, torque?)

@kidzero1943 7 жыл бұрын

Guillermo Lovato it depends on the location of the bolt being removed or how tight the bolt is stuck on there. It will be common sense which tool to use as u progress in being a technician. For example, most European lugs for the wheels are 17mm. You can use a 3/8 or a 1/2 drive but its going to be alot easier to sitck a 1/2in 17mm on an impact to remove the wheel, versus putting a 3/8 17mm using an adapter taking a chance to breaking the adapter due to more torque.

@benjaminbills1998 7 жыл бұрын

Guillermo Lovato always more then one way to skin a cat... the benefit of having such a diverse set is having the ability to choose the right tool for the job but just because you aren't doing it "the right way" doesn't mean it can't be done. I use what works. if you have a 6 point head and the 12point slips then you need to use a six point head.. if the 3/8 inch extension seems flimsy for the amount of force used then its probably not the right tool. judging what will work and what went comes from the experience.

I find it odd that as VW enthusiasts Charles (and Paul from ShopDAP) don't prefer German tools. I think working on VWs and Audis with Hazet, Stahlwille, Elora, Wiha, NWS etc tools would be kind of neat. Likewise working on Japanese cars with Koken, KTC or Vessel tools. Working on Ferraris, Alfa Romeos or FIATs with Beta or USAG, working on Renaults/Peugeots with Facom, working on Jaaags with King Dick tools (hardy haha) and so on...

I’m not a mechanic and I like my job as a ct tech, but I’m saying the options are there. Those online schools are a great avenue and aren’t too expensive. I payed 50 dollars a month for 11 months.
