The power of the right tool

JIS drivers and exhaust hanger pliers in my Amazon cart now.

Got a sawzall from my gf for xmas, it's come in handy many times.

Standard universal. This set:

...although I'm pretty sure the sockets are deeper in set I have than those pictured.

I bought one of those exhaust hanger pliers some years ago as well. Definitely an aggravation saver.

Another set worth its weight in gold: hose clamp pliers. The full set like these: http://www.thetoolwarehouse.net/astro-pneumatic-9406-P9216.aspx

One nice one is used on those annoying band-clamps often used on modern cars (in the case, 3rd from the left). Reattaching them was often an annoying task with channel-locks but with these: grab-clip-done. And then you understand why they are used instead of worm-drive clamps; so much faster on an assembly line with seconds add up to $$$$. (this clamp is different than the spring clamps usually removed using the remote cable pliers in the lid)

Thank you Lang for making the right tool for these 6mm thick retaining rings.
