Has anyone ever come up with a list of tools a guy really needs in his shop to work on his Stovebolt,Hotrods etc?
If you look on page 137 there is a picture of a really sweet Stovebolt and some bowtie shaped tool boxes.

I've twisted off the heads of about 4 screwdrivers so far in the last 3 days on rusted bolts around the headlight buckets, and various other places around the truck.... might have to go and restock at sears, have em replacin some screwdrivers, lol
If it's old and rusted out.... Well it's probably mine.

It works like a small impact wrench. I use mine alot on rusty bolts. you can even find adapters so that you can use it with sockets.
Just make sure that you have it good a tight to the screw before you hit the trigger!

Bryan,
Good suggestion. What brand/model cordless impact wrench do you have? What is its rated maximum ft-lbs torque?
Thanks,
Tim
