I have a bigger wrench

I used one that's 44" long, 1" drive. That was one heavy socket wrench.

I second the put the belt covers back on remark.

However, I must also say, the engine bay is looking nice!

Wooooo! .......you've led a very sheltered life when it comes to tools....huh I still have a complete set of 3/4" drive with sockets 3/4" to 2", and also hung on to my 1" drive swivel head breaker bar with 1" to 3/4" adapter (this ole boy don't strain whilst doing rear wheel bearings or cranksprocket bolt). I sold all my 1" drive sockets and ratchet a few years after I left the steel plant. I had to use 1 1/2" and 2" drive sockets down there all the time. Ever seen a 2" drive air impact gun? It takes a min of two guys to operate it while its hanging from an overhead crane..... then we finally talked em into buying us hydraulic torque multiplers.

I DO LIKE YOUR ENGINE BAY...........SHARP!! (P.S. - put your covers back on)

yeah, 2" drive is awesome! I worked at a porsche shop this summer full time. We had tools out the wazoo. Its alot easier when you have tools for everything you need. I mean i did a while engine swap with tools that fit inside a smaller toolbox. (now I have a huge set) but that was nutso! One of my co-workers had $25,000 + easily in matco tools. My boss had about 3 of the biggest boxes snap on sells, or sold until last year (HUGE), packed with the best tools you can buy. If only I could afford quality tools........ it makes everything so much easier.

What the heck are you planning on disassembling with a 2" socket and breaker bar? Leave the local bridges alone.

Put down the breaker bar and step away from the light pole. . .
