Metrics or SAW

In Harbor Frieght. Which system of the wrench set is for Tacomas, SAE or metric?

 

Metric bolts have been used on basically every vehicle since the mid 80s. There are some exceptions on American cars up into the 2000s, but it's basically because of legacy parts like steering boxes and such.

 

Great, thx!

 

Do you know how to use them?

 

I'd skip those and grab the ratcheting box ends in metric: Much better in tight places and usually on sale also.

 

Skip your next hipster bucks.
And get both.

 

Use them to remove the bolts under the hood when doing oil change...

 

Waiting for the coupons to come

 

make sure you get a metric adjustable wrench to!
im left handed so I got a left handed one.

 

Having a set of both is never bad, probably need em at some point if you work on anything truck related to putting your ikea furniture together.

 

This thread scares me...

 

I got me a genuine thumb detecting nut f'ker/rounder!

 

don't forget, it's also a hammer

 

That's what a thumb detector is.

 

is it Friday yet?

 

It's an AvE thing.

 

There’s a good thread about putting in an overhead light bar. Seems doable with the new tools.

 

Yep.

This way when you lose half of the metric ones you can swap over to SAE in some cases.

 

Honestly (sarcasm aside) if you don’t even have wrenches, a good ol’ 100 piece mechanics set is the way to go. I’d get craftsman, Kobalt or Huskey. They have lifetime warranty. Some swear by harbor freight and it’s good for some stuff. Overall, they are mostly throwaway tools though.
