Thanks for all the posts. I'm in.

Thoughts on an impact hammer or battery powered ratchet?
Money well spent x2.

The ratchet was the perfect tool to have on hand when I replaced the headlight bulbs.

Ill be picking up a HF motorcycle lift next week...
Easily one of the best investments I've made. My lower back sings Hosannas every time I use mine. I used a coupon and got mine for $279.00.

It's been used for quite a bit of off-label tasks, too, like annual maintenance of OPE. I've also had offers to buy it when using it as a table during garage sales.

Should we ask JeepCares what they think on this subject? I want to, but I won't tag them on this post.

I'm not reading past the title.
You should always buy the tools.
Learn how to wrench on your rig.

I think of tools as an investment. A lot of my tools though are from HF. I'm not a mechanic, so they do fine (but I avoid their power tools).
