Tool Selection Tips - Gearhead Garage Gear - Four Wheeler Network
Good tools ain’t cheap, but from a simple fix to a huge fabrication job, the feeling of completing garage project yourself is priceless. Having the right tools to take on any task and having the skills to pull it off is something to which all off-roaders aspire. Most of us have started off with nothing more than a simple starter kit with a few wrenches, a socket set, a couple hammers, and maybe some specialty tools like a pitman arm puller. So if you’re just starting in this hobby, or even if you’re a well-seasoned veteran with a four-car shop’s worth of gear crammed into a two-car package like us, we figured we’d mosey through our well-used garage with camera in hand to share some... The biggest problem with an engine hoist is what to do with it when you’re not using it to lift engines, axles, chassis, or other heavy items. One of the best hoists we’ve had is the 2-ton-capacity folding shop crane from Harbor Freight. In the 10 years or so since we got ours, the company has tweaked the design a bit, but after all those years and all the abuse we’ve dealt it, it still works perfectly and the ram doesn’t bleed down at all.
