It seems that every job I’ve taken on in recent times has called on at least one special tool or unorthodox method using common tools to see it through. While I’m proud of the arsenal I’ve amassed over the years, these “exercises” have made it apparent that it’s worth bolstering my inventory just a bit. In the spirit of that, I’ve rounded up some deals on some of the often-forgotten tools at Amazon that all DIY mechanics should keep in their collections.

Stubborn screws will wreck your life in an instant. I’m guilty of rounding out countless fasteners with an ill-used impact driver and a bit adapter when regular screwdrivers simply couldn’t do the job. The AKM 3/8-inch hand manual reversible impact driver set for $20.00 is your way around the issue. I actually own this set and regularly use it to deal with rotor set screws on a Honda Civic. It’s worth every penny of the sale price.

I also recently found myself making adjustments to the Heidts 4-link conversion on the rear of my ’69 Charger. I had to use an adjustable wrench to tackle the jam nuts on the upper links. While I was able to get it done, space constraints made it a real circus trick with my regular adjustable wrenches. I’m currently adding the Maxpower stubby adjustable wrench set, which is on sale for $35.98, to my cart. The narrow heads will slip into the spaces that trip up my other adjustables, and they’ll save me a ton of frustration in the many other tight spaces I cram myself into.
