New tool thread

After recently working on a '14 Escape 2.0 I wanted a better way to fill the degas bottle. I have flexible neck funnels but somehow I like the idea of this, plus it's not expensive and I believe you can never have too many funnel options.

Well the Mac man got me today lol. I’ve been looking for a scan tool. Got this Mac GT3 scanner used for $1500. Still gets updates. Not a fan of it running off Android but you know they would never run off Apple like I prefer lol. Then been needing a seal puller I have one at the house but not at work so now I’ve got one. Also needed some 1/4 swivel sockets and got these which he gave me a good deal on since I bought the scan tool. And of course a “free” bag for the scan tool and two shirts and supposed to bring me the 4th of July shirt next week because he only had large today.

Tool HAUL! Thanks @The Critic ! I was putting together a starter set for a young man, who does not have much in the way of support.
I was sooooo tempted to keep the Icon offset box end for myself... Jakob was so surprised; he did not know he was getting tools when they drove from Bakersfield today. He now has 1/4, 3/8 and 1/2 socket sets with multiple ratchets, wrenches, broken screwdrivers, ball peen hammer, wire brushes and much more. He knows how to use the torque wrench... I had a large plastic tool box and a smaller one.
For those who do not know @The Critic personally, his generosity knows no bounds.

Nah, it's an old Omega PortaPower. It's rough but was only $50 at local pawn and it does work

Much like pullers, pry bars, trim clip tools and funnels I believe you can never have too many options with PortaPowers

I bought a porta-power just to do Dodge transmission crossmembers.

Ya know that reminds me on the NV4500 in a 2nd Gen Ram I spread the frame! The "V" shape that doesn't let the xmember drop out is kinda dumb and seems unnecessary. No one else does this and I don't see transmissions just dropping out of trucks.
