Klein welding helmet.

Just ordered a Actron CP9190 Scanner set. $172. Pretty big gamble for if my truck even supports live data. At least it does work on OBD2 and GM OBD1 too. I hope this works out. Ebay seller has good reviews but says no returns...

Spring loaded, very thin/fine needle nose pliers

Harbor freight on sale. I had to squeeze them back-and-forth about 30 times with some 3-in-1 oil before they started to spring back consistently, but I’m loving them, I’ve already used them a lot.

I think Actron is no longer in business, so no parts or help...

I bought 2 sets of the 3 pack step drill bits, $6ea. They come in so handy. I've actually used them to enlarge the holes in the spring pack in my race truck. At the time I didn't know that spring steel is very hard to drill. Iirc I used 3 bits in total for that. More magnetic plates, $2.88 each. And found a box of aluminum rivets I bought at a scratch and dent sale. So that's 1,200 rivets total for $5. And... Some welding blankets for $12 ea.

They're also great for drilling Plexiglas, without cracking it like a regular fluted bit is so prone to do.
