Updating my tool box

Post by Finleyphoto »

I've decided to replace my 1/2-inch drive stuff since it was stolen 10 years ago.

"Mechanic's Arthritis" is starting to set in (plus I'm getting lazy in my old age) and I'm more comfortable working on these older trucks using tools with bigger handles.

What sizes has everyone found most common on their trucks?

I figure 1/2" 9/16" 5/8" 3/4" and maybe 7/8"

Power valve takes a 1" 12-point.

Have I missed anything?

I think the crank pulley's on FE engines are 15/16 so if your running an FE that might be one to think about
