tools

I’m going out to New Mexico next week to buy my bus. What tools should I bring? I am an airplane mechanic so I have a lot of good inch tools but not much metric. It is a 95 Thomas rear engine with 8.3. I am hoping to not need any tools on the trip back, but it’s free to bring them.

Hey guys! I'm about to start my conversion, and I know I'm going to need a LOT of new tools (the only power tool I have right now is a drill lol) I don't have enough in my budget to buy as many as I'd like outright, so I wanted to ask: what tools have you used the most consistently? And which...

I'd read most of the threads about replacement toilets and finally purchased one, but I'm still a bit lost on the best "pipe," tools, and fittings to use moving forward. I'm certain the Monty will need more plumbing repairs in the future, and I want to fix my well and use that water for...

Greetings, I’m at a point where I need a larger toolbox-over a year, I’ve collected quite a range of hand tools and drill bits. The upper tray stores screwdrivers, pliers, chisels etc. the box itself holds bulkie items such as a hammer, rasps, discs, large screwdrivers, vise-grips, small saws...

I have a 310GK, and the front storage (basement) area has on several threads been used as a "garage" area and sorted as such. Question is, how much weight can one store in this area safely? I have a mechanics toolbox (3' wide c/w drawers) to store tools and would like to put in this front area...

I'm putting together my tool bag for our new travel trailer and while mentally running through the different roadside repair scenarios I've done on cars in my past, I realize the RVer must be prepared for a variety of tasks across multiple systems, which may be performed in settings with more...

Heyo! I just started my build, but with Christmas nearing my family wants to help me out by buying some equipment I'll need on my travels. I was looking at a jump starter/air compressor combo (https://www.walmart.com/ip/Stanley-J5C09-1000-Peak-Jump-Starter-with-Air-Compressor/13035281) and...

I'm always looking for small, quality, multipurpose tools I can carry in my mobile tool bag. I especially like ones that let me work in spaces with limited room. You know, the situations where even a stubby screwdriver is too big? I found this little tool on the website Grommet and it's great...

I am looking for thoughts on different types of paint sprayers. I would like to spray my bus because that seems like it would be a nicer finish. However I do not have a sprayer yet. I already have a 30 gallon air compressor so I can use that if needed. In addition to my bus it would be nice...

Hmm..... what's the right tool? Jitterbug? Pad sander? Grinder? Steel wirebrush? I know! Sharks! With frickin' laser beams tied to them! Have you ever seen one of these before? I don't think I even want to know what one costs. A kilowatt laser!
