Cool Tools

by korrupt3dazn » November 18th, 2014

Just seeing if there are any cool tool you guys use.
So far one of my favorite is the Irwin bolt Extractor set. It lets you remove rounded off bolt heads. Saved me a couple times.
I found with these its best not to use impact gun it will cause the extractor's teeth to strip. Also when you place it on the bolt head use a hammer and tap it into place until
it firmly grabs and you aren't able to spin it by hand.

Here is a picture of 2 bolts I removed off my buddy's Evo X exhaust. The bolt were rusted in place and the head got rounded off. I made it worse trying to use vise grips.

I need this! I stripped a nut on my spacers and I can't remove it so I'm rubbing on every turn and dip.

Here is another tool that saved me.

While installing my Jpipe I replaced my studs on the pre cats. The problem was I cross threaded that stud and then to top it off I cross threaded the nut onto that stud. I was able to tighten it all the way and run with it for a while. I wanted to go back to stock and I knew I had figure out how to get it all off. I used a dremel and was able to get the nut off but the problem was the stud. I tried using Vise grips but all it did was rounded the stud even more making it next to impossible to grip it. Looked on youtube and found a video on demonstrating this tool. Ordered it and was able to get the stud out in the first shot.

They're not technically "tools" but I found an LED light that's great for working on cars: http://www.amazon.com/Risk-Racing-00-11 ... racing+led

I use to hate taking the bumper clips out because they either always break or part of the middle clip breaks, etc...
I used this tool and pops it off so freaking fast and with no effort. You can buy this at harbor freight.

This should be handy for anyone crimping 1/0 wire:

I am in the process of rebuilding my stereo system and I think this solution is much better than hammering the terminal directly.
