what should Santa buy for Christmas?

[Brybo86]

My mother in law Is super nice and asked what Santa should get me for Christmas. HoHoHo!

I'm leaning towards a California Air compressor.. mb 8 gallon 1.0hp? Would be nice to have to run the impact wrench to remove crankbolts
needs to run off 110v

Any suggestions for other must have tools?

I have the typical ratchet/socket/torque wrenches for working on my vehicles.

A much bigger compressor.

I would go with 21 gallon minimum, they aren't too much more compared to a typical 8 gallon.

Quality jack / jack stands, impact wrench, LED shop lighting.

Look up that cfm the tools you are going to use need to run properly .

The most you get from a 120 outlet in air compression is around 2 hp. Sears claimed 5 hp but it was a lie. In continuous use "all" 2 hp compressors are the same. Like said above, get a 20 gallon tank. You want the reserve for a few seconds of ugga duggas with that wrench.

An elf told me they are cranking out Icon torque wrenches and Quinn digital torque adapters!

With that teeny tiny compressor you may get one quick blip on your impact tool and loosen a 35 ft lb bolt thats not rusted, it though would likely fill tires okay. Can get a big electric 120v impact wrench.

Somehow I was able to remove the original crankbolts on both my Odyssey and Pilot using an old 3.5 gal/1.5hp Fini "big pioneer" and a harbor freight earthquake XT impact with high flow fittings

Not ideal...but it worked.

I was mostly looking at the California Air because of its lightweight and I was thinking of putting in my garage above the ceiling joists in the dead space below the roof
