heh, I believe that 1/4" tools are superfluous.. 3/8": 8mm, 10, 12, 14, 17, 19, 20, 22, 23, an adaptor to use a 1/2" breaker bar, classic rock on the radio, "a bigger hammer", propane torch, the highest lifting [low profile] jack you can find [19" is my minimum pref.]..
I think that's most of the big stuff?

I just got my first set of ratcheting Gear Wrenches and I love them! I've been tinkering on my RX-7s for years without them and I wish I hadn't waited. They're great for fitting in places that the socket wrench won't.
I'll add an oxygen sensor socket to the list. I made my own by filing out a notch in one of the corners of the 1/2" drive hole to allow the sensor's wire to slip through while the ratchet is engaged. It would probably have been easier to just buy a real one, but at the time I think I was in a hurry.

I like the idea of this thread haha.
My main ones:
breaker bar...love this thing
pb blaster
socket set
harbor freight low pro jack
jackstands
Btw, just curious, how do you guys torque/tighten the front diff mount bolts. I can get them tight with a ratchet and some extensions but it's never tight enough to hold it in place. Wonder if I'm missing something.
