Hey, I was just currious. what do you guys Bring when you go to the junk yard? Im bringing a 1-2 milk Cartons for parts. 2 tool Box's, and 2 peices of Ply wood. All on a Hand Truck.
Milk Cartons- To Hold the parts I want.
2 tool box's- Can never have to many tools!
2pieces of ply wood- So I can lay on my back to get things from under the car.
Hand Truck- all that shit is heavy man!
I take a widemouth tote from sears full of metric craftsman tools, you know deep and standard socket sets, Combination wrenches, offset wrenches, screwdrivers, a Hammer prybar......the normal stuff. I keep a 3 drawer toolbopc in the trunk and if I need anything else I run out and get it. Anything bigger than that I run home and get into the MAC tools roll-away from my good old A&P mechanic days.......I got more tools than most people have ever seen at one time outside of a toolstore
pocket multi tool, wrench, and bag. i can get just about anything i need with those.
Junkyards around here are scared of lawsuits, so most of them won't even let you remove your own parts.
Whats funny, Theres a Prelude in the junkyard the rolls around with a Portible Torch, and Tons of tools. I think its someone that works at the place that rolls around to help people out. pritty niffty idea.
star head screwdriver, 10mm socket + ratchet, multi-tool, and bandaids...cause i always manage to cut myself on something i'm reefing on when i'm in a junkyard. :)
big tool box and some metric sockets and wrenches.
Tool box full of sockets screwdrivers wrenches allen wrenches dead blow hammer Makita impact audio tester once I get the powerlupply worked out.
Audio Tester? What for?
I take one huge fishing box packed of a complete craftsman metric and standard socket set, and then another huge box with every specialty tool I can remember and/or fit. But never forget the wasp killer. One time I did and it ended up there was a nest in the tail light I needed to take off, the only thing that I used to protect myself was a big piece of metal used as a fly swatter.
Testing speakers and head units. Last week I got a set of 5X7 MB Quart for 6.00. Ive gotten some infinity's, Polk audio's and many alpines for that price.Quote:
