Favorite tool for wrenching on your rig - 5th gen
3rd gen forum has a thread for posting favorite tools and it's a great list. We need one of these on the 5th gen forum as well.
Post your favorite tool, innovative, or specialty tool for wrenching on your rig(s)! I'll start with some of my favorites:
1/2" breaker bar
Mechanics pick set
Raven nitrile gloves
Magnetic tray
Old school drop light

extra long flex-head ratcheting wrenches - 17mm on one end and 19mm on the other. I have two. Uca thru bolts loosen easily for greasing without removing the AC line brackets, and the 17 and 19mm works on all things suspension.

Specialty uses include:
- Lubricant for rethreading dirty skid plate bolts
- Cleaner for getting gunked oil/grease off of drivetrain parts
- Air freshener when left in the cupholder on a warm day
- And a penetrating fluid for getting my courage unstuck when it comes time to use my real tools to start actually wrenching on the 4Runner!
