Default Ratchet Wrenches

Anyone who has ever worked on these engines knows that this is a must have.

Sears is having a pretty good sale on some and I totally recommend getting them!

Cheap Ratchet Wrenches

A lot of our bolts (especially by the tensioner and the back of the engine) are crazy to get to with a socket having a set of these made my life easier when I took the top half of my engine apart. Just passing this on...

/end random advertising thread :P

Seriously though, It's a great deal and if anyone was thinking about picking up some tools for their Monte I recommend these.

i got my dad a set of each of those about 2 years ago, and he loves them. he repairs mostly heavy equipment for a living, and many of the things he has to wrench on make the engine bay on our montes look like a hotel room.... the dozers & loaders are ok, but the freekin dich- witch...

Pizza is what I had for dinner! I keep a ratchet set in my Silver Monte that I bought at Home Depot for about $30. (I don't have a cool tool box or roll cabinet).

jj, from what my dad says this is the most fun to work on, lol

http://www.hdd-etti.com/images/2005_...36_inches_.jpg

they have 2 or 3 of the one that looks like the super - omega - turbo pizza wheel at his work, ( the wheel is about 6 feet tall, btw ) along with a bunch of the ones that look like a giant chain saw... the one i posted above they only have 2 of, it is still kinda flawed due to it being a very unique product for a unique need, but it is cool... when its used, it is sat in a hole, and it drills those rods horazontally through the dirt, kinda like a oil rig that fell over.... anyways, they use it to lay gas piplines under large obsticles, mostly rivers.... yha, that sucker can tunnel right under the delaware if needed
