need some used tools.

wp326 · 10-11-2009, 09:07 PM

hi guys in the Fremont, Newark and Union City area
i need a 17mm socket, a torque wrench (80 - 100 lb/ft), and a 3ton jack. I don't want to buy new tools since I won't be using them often, for taking off wheels on a 330i.

Used tools will do the job just fine.

It may be a challenge finding used tools unless you find a new widow perhaps. Most people don't sell their tools. For what you're looking for, I'd suggest going to Sears...

no one? i am just getting into diy... don't need brand new tools. i am sure a lot of guys here have these tools

I suggest you just go to sears and buy a good inexpenseive 200 or so piece tool set.
If you're any kind of guy you're going to need tools on a regular basis. I don't see how some people don't own a tool set.

All these toolboxes have torque wrenches? but are they up to BMW spec, i think 80 - 90 lb/ft torque?

if you want something cheap, try harbor freight in fremont off mowry. They have 20% coupons online you can print out and use as well.

No, none of those sets have torque wrenchs. You need to buy a torque wrench separately.
They're usually close to $100 for a good one.
A torque will torque the bolt to 80-90lbs but you need the sockets and other tools aswell.
