[QUOTE="SoonerP226, post: 3463855, member: 26737"] Hmm. Lineman's pliers are about as handy as a pocket on a shirt; I have a bunch of them in various sizes, and I always have one in the tool pocket of my overalls when I'm working on the farm. I bought a set of Gearwrench magnetic spark plug sockets when I changed the plugs and coils on my truck, and those things are so much better than the old rubber-insert spark plug sockets that it's not even funny. I once made a "wobble socket" with a spark plug socket, a universal joint, and a medium extension all held together by HVAC foil tape; there is a plain-Jane plug socket in this kit, but the others are all purpose-made sockets with permanently attached extensions with a built-in wobble joint. Gearwrench ratcheting box-end wrenches are another lifesaver. I bought an SAE set years ago for working on tractors, and they worked so well that I bought a roll of metric ones for working on cars.
