Charles says his Top 5 automotive tools are:
Matco Tools Pro1000 Video Borescope — To look in those tight spots!
Streamlight PolyStinger LED Flashlight — So I can actually see what I’m looking at.
Matco Tools Long Barrel Air Hammer — Frees up stuck-together parts.
Mac Tools AWP050 1/2” Impact Wrench — Turns those rusty frozen bolts.
Matco Tools MD1072 Enhanced Scan Advisor — To see why the check engine light is on, or look at the freeze-frame or live data on most modules in the vehicle!
