besides the grinder and welder. What is the most used tool besides those two?


Thanks.

 

air compressor - die grinder

 

bench vice. You can get by without but if your TIG welding its very nice. Rat tail file for cleaning inside the tube after you cut it

 

#1 is the most usefull tool for exhaust and tubing work I have ever owned... If it quits I will buy another in a heart beat.
1. https://www.theturboforums.com/smf/index.php?topic=133470.0
2. chop saw.
3. Die grinder with a carbide tip and 2" rolok grinding discs.

 

I love the sawzall !

 

surprsied no one has mentioned measuring tools.

-Sharpie (yes I know it sounds retarted but trust me try and build a turbo setup without a few)
-Venier/dial calipers
-tape measure
-angle gauge

Among the other stuff
-Arrow magnets
-die grinder (love my die grinder handiest shi ever)

 

Used a chop saw for a long time. Hard to justify the cost, until your first cut with this. No smell, sparks, or the ridge left like a chop saw.

Sharper is a good one
Vise, two please.
Hammer for shaping tubing

 

Late entry but i would seriously like to add a Beer fridge to my list.

 

i use welders magnets alot when mocking up.

 

I used a sawszall to cut all my tubing, would rather have a band saw but the sawzall gets it done.

Also agree on the rat tail file to debur the tubing cuts.

 

First aid kit...
lmfao

sorry it was already covered

 

i'm with everyone else: chop saw, welder, die grinder, file, sharpie, tape measure are all musts.

a nice big air compressor, vice, and plasma cutter are nice if you can afford them

 

All I used was a sharpie, MIG, and a 3"cutoff wheeled cutter with air compressor. Chop saw would have been great to have, but if your careful its not truly needed. Drill press would be nice to have now

 

Blow up doll for when you need some stress relief....

 

Hammer, lol.

 

I prefer the half-round for deburring.
But yeah, with a MIG, angle grinder with cutoff wheels and flap discs, files, a good drill, and a hammer you can build just about anything. Built my whole car with those!

 

Stepped Unibit for bungs and holes, grinding/deburring bit on an air drill, chop saw or band saw and vice, angle and arrow magnets for holding/mocking, and last but not least a BEAD ROLLER!

 

love those things .

 

WOW..nobody mentioned a screwdriver,..LOL

 

Your brain!!
