usually 10mm at 12mm

[srbogoy]

open & 12 point box wrenches or combination wrench 6, 8, 10, 12, 13, 14, 17 and 19mm, drop forged alloy steel and chromed plated, marami sa true value at ace hardwares, mura lang

Madalas? 8, 10, 12, 13, 14, 17, 19mm

I was able to get a combination of standard and deep socket set for $20, ranging from 4.5mm to 14mm yata. 4.5, 5, 5.5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 both standard and deep with 1/4 inch drive lang so small ratchet works.

12 points are good when you need them but can't be used in place of the standard 6 point. Maganda yung open/box ratchet wrenches kaso mahal. My 10mm with swiveling head is expensive I forgot how much and not too short (possibly due to less torque applicable dahil sa joint for the box end ratchet).

Open box ratchet is very useful. Maski 10,12mm lang muna, ideally 10,12,14,17 or even 19. Buy the one that has a winge/swiveling, nice for tight spaces. Lotus tools has.

Chrome Vanadium material is the best. Not plated chrome or anything else.

usually mga 10 at 12 mm ang gamit ko sa mga diy sessions ko. punta ka sa raon dahil nung nagpunta ako dun ng tuesday ang daming tools na nakaka-lula di ko lang alam kung ok ang quality nila pero madami naman pag-pipilian.

btw, i just bought a buffalo brand 43 piece set several months ago , so far so good naman kasi hindi lang pang auto talaga ang gamitan nun sa bahay

[calcite]

I usually buy combination wrenches (one end is box wrench, the other end is open wrench) in the following sizes 8, 10, 12, 14, 17, 19 mm. Iyan lang ang sizes used in japanese cars (pati Ford kasi Mazda rin iyon).

It is better to buy these one by one instead of sets kasi sa set kasama ang mga hindi useful sizes (9, 11, 13, 15, etc). I often have two of each (at least for 10, 12 and 14mm) para may pang-contra.

Ang cheap but ok brand is "Venus" usually available at MC Home depot. Comparatively very cheap so pag nabali, hindi masakit sa pocket. Stanley, Husky or other famous brands are better but much more expensive. If you can afford them so much the better.

I also get 3/8" ratchet wrench with sockets (also in the above sizes) and extensions. I buy individual pieces but buy the better brand (Vermont, Husky, etc) because the cheap ones don't last long - specially the ratchet wrench.

Sa compact cars okay na ang mga sizes na iyon. Sometimes there is a need for 21mm, 24 or 25mm socket wrenches pero pang big bolts na ito (lug bolts, axle bolts, etc. Special lang ito ang you can buy as needed.

[calcite]

Dagdag lang,

Always get the six-point wrench/sockets para hindi masira ang bolt head kapag kailangang puwersahin ang bolt/nut. Bolts are ***agonal (six sides) so fit na fit ang 6-point wrenches.

[danesjr]

ano yung ***agonal?
i bought a set, pero usually 10 at 12 ang nagagamit.

[BoEinG_747]

sa work 8,10,13,10 17,19,& 24 mm

sa Auto 10,11,& 12mm

sa MC 10mm & 12mm

baka po Hexagon ang ibig niya sabhin

[XTO]

8,10,12 and mm. sa 168 mall lang ako bumili ng mga pandagdag as mga Stanleys ni erpat.

[mbeige]

^I think he meant hexagonal

Medyo nalalayo na tayo pag ***agonal

Here maraming Stanley, Craftsman, Hazet, etc. Stanley ok na sa akin. Autozone has nice quality tools too - Greatneck yung brand nila. Duralast ones are too expensive for me.

Avoid cheap tools unless you want to strip the fastener. I learned this the hard way - had to buy vice grips to get the screw out.

For sockets, I have 3/8 drive, 1/4 drive sockets with adapter to go from 3/8 to 1/4. I also have sockets with 1/4 instead, to avoid lowering the torque when using the adapter. A torque wrench is good to have too as well as a breaker bar. Just be careful and know the torque specs and corresponding units measurement (lb-ft or otherwise).

[danesjr]

yeah that's what i thought. I had to google to be sure

anyway, avoid cheap tools. great investment ang mga ganito. I remember somebody had a bad wound when the wrench broke( the open side). he bought another of the same brand, and it broke again. KYK ata brand nun

[threx666]

ayos to!hehehe

salamat po sa mga inputs,mga magkano po kaya per piece ng mga to?


salamt po uli mga sir

There's a good KYK variant (yung Japan)... True, avoid using cheap tools, especially on heavy work as they can break indeed. I keep a set of the cheap tools in our garage for light work (removing small stuff, etc) so it's easy to access and it won't hurt much if ever it's lost or stolen.

depende sa brand ang price at saka mas makakamura kung set mo bibilihin
may kasama pa lalagyan

[kuruma64]

ok na ang 10,12,13,14 na box at 10,12,13,14 na open para mag umpisa ka,pero kung maluwag ka sa pera don kana sa mahal na brand para maiwasan mo na mabilog ang bolt & nut.pagmumurahin ang tools mahinang klase ang bakal na ginagamit sa tools kaya madaling masira at baka masaktan ka pag kabyos.try mo ang stanley,husky,craftsman at kung gusto mo ng D'best Snap On ka na. just to start ok ang mura pero ingat ka sa pag gamit.

Sorry, my mistake. Wrong forum nga siguro ang "***agonal".

Ok na nga ang sizes 8,10,12,14 for most ordinary work.

But most crankshaft bolts are 19mm (for turning the engine when setting TDC). If you also have to do some undercarriage work (replacing balljoints, engine supports, etc) some of these nuts/bolts are 17mm.
