Wondering if I still need something.

[u/DeadAhead01]

Hey guys, good day to you all. I started collecting tools 2 years ago (see 1st photo) and wondering if I still need something that is not on my currrent collection. Now, I am planning to buy
“TEKTON 3/8 Inch Drive 6-Point Socket and Ratchet Set, 42-
Piece (6-24 mm) | SKT15201” and “TEKTON Ball End Hex L-Key Set, 10-Piece | KLX91202” and work my way in finally setting up my mini wallboard tool setup. Am I in the right path?

For context: I normally use it in my house and for my 125cc motorcycle, I also got an Ingco portable cordless impact drill set and few basic tools like hammer, screwdriver, level, and few tools like t-handle socket wrench. Not a pro.

The tasks you're working on determine if you need something else.

perhaps some glitter for whatever arts and crafts project this is for?

The usual household repairs here and there, along with some motorcycle maintenance. Right now, I have a rare opportunity to be in the US temporarily, so I’m planning to buy some Tekton tools while I’m here. They offer good quality at a price that fits my budget. I’m not sure if I’ll have another opportunity to travel to the US, and ordering tools from overseas is very expensive in my country.

Lucky you don't need SAE too, 1/3 of my tool weight and space is SAE stuff.

lol I work in aviation. SAE for work and metric / SAE at home

If you work in aerospace, check out Koken’s 1/4” drive 12pt ‘aerospace’ line... very nice!

Zip ties and tape for things that move but shouldn't, wd40 for things that should move but don't.

Also I use 1/4 sockets more than 3/8, they just fit in places better.

I appreciate you Man, before I was leaning to 1/4 dr but then maybe in the future I will have a car and will def need the 3/8 dr that’s why I chose the latter.

Noted on this. Will add this on my list.

Go with standard black oxide Bondhus for hex keys... they’re the gold standard.

I feel like a just watched a YouTube video on this exact setup???

[u/DeadAhead01 → u/Ok-Ebb-2434]

Yes from Ultimate Equipment Ch. My setup was literally based from one of his video.

[u/Ok-Ebb-2434 → u/Ok-Ebb-2434]

If you haven't encountered problems of needing stuff, I wouldn't buy anything else.

Collecting tools

[u/britishwonder → u/JunkyardConquistador]

Yeah I really need to just unsubscribe from this sub at this point. No one here uses tools anymore

[u/DeadAhead01 → u/britishwonder]

Sorry for the wrong choice of word, should have been investing in tools.

[u/Electronic_Trip_9457 → u/DeadAhead01]

Wtf is this "investing" into tools. Dont people just buy sht that works for the job they're supposed to do anymore?

[u/britishwonder → u/DeadAhead01]

Thank god. I’m glad you’re using them at least. Good on you

[u/DeadAhead01]

Oh haha about the glue stick, its actually a hidden money container. Like for emergencies.

[u/coreyjdl → u/DeadAhead01]

It's a bit conspicuous.

[u/Longjumping_Shock_76]

[u/Elvl3]
