For the best quality-to-price value, I recommend Gearwrench, Wiha, Wera, and Knipex.

Actually I need a new Torx 3/8” socket set to T55. Any thoughts on a good set?

I have purchased most of my Snap On tools from ebay and it's worked out well for wrenches and sockets they're very good. Also the Milwaukee anti-slip wrenches are very good for the price (129$ for a 15 wrench set at HomeDepot). Then for the torx, hex bits you can buy the ICON sets at harbor freight for like 24$ each plus there is usually a 20% off coupon on their website.

I looked in to that Sonic set as well as Teng tools. It's tempting and looks all jazzy organized so neatly, but you don't need half those tools and I don't trust the quality is as high as Snap On. Trust me, Snap On wrenches last an awfully long time under hard use same with their sockets and there are a plethora of listings on ebay, do some hunting and just buy piece by piece or set by set, I think you'll be happy in the long run.

Then for impacts, it's tough to beat milwaukee m12 and m18 line of electric impacts these days. The 3/8 drive stubby should handle all your needs and the the impact screw driver gun for everything small.

Good luck, buying tools is more fun than almost anything else except driving and wrenching... maybe.

I wish I knew such a tool existed before installing my high flow cats! I ended up having to make my own version

I can't wait for it! My Karcher has been a champ for the past couple years so this should be a step up. Plus the power draw was much less of a concern. Did it come with the mounting hardware or did you need to go get things?

I didn't get the di setup because we've already got filtered and softened water. The comet comes with a metal wall mounting bracket but no mounting hardware if i recall correctly.

I got a 24" x 48" 3/4" oak plywood project panel.
That got hung on the studs w 3" #10 screws and washers.

I think used some #8 or #10 2" or 2.5" screws to attach said bracket to the plywood. The bracket (basically a section of 1" pipe) is rounded where it attaches to the pressure washer so you'll need a "fatter" head screw to sit flush, a washer over the screw won't work.

I have water in the garage, and sourced my own 15' blue hose (Amazon, blue bird Ag lite), routed and mounted with 1 hole 1.5" pipe straps.

You're gonna love it. I had a Karcher too and this thing is just so much more solid.

I just got a set of the wheel mounting studs that hang the wheel for mounting. Damn, they make it sooooo much easier! I wish I had them sooner!

i have a mix of snap on, mac and matco tools. throughout the years, ive probably spent around 15-20k on everything. you're also going to need torx, allen, triple square and many different sized torque wrenches. i use my snap on cordless impact drivers a lot too.
