1. Julien S Says: i am going to start buying tools for my automotive tech job and wondering which is the best one to buy first. which one is more useful for a beginner tech like me.

2. rich Says: 1/2 inch impact is for removing wheels axle nuts and such, 3/8 inch is what is referred to as a zip gun, it's good for engine disassembly and things of this nature, 3/8 air ratchet will do the same job as the zip gun, I recommend the 1/2 for the heavy work, and the air ratchet for everything else and when ya start making some cash get a 1/4 drive air ratchet they are great for car interior work

3. Djman Says: 1/2 inch is for tougher jobs. they are tougher. The 3/8 is jst as good but not as tough. if you are going to run a shop. Buy all three. Apply for a small business loan. Now is the time for that. Maybe you can get to the point of hiring somebody to help you. In fact you probably will need that.
