Tool advice for auto mechanics in the third world
#16
Well it looks like the folks who bought the 3/4" drive sockets and wrenches returned them for a large set of 3/8" and 1/2" sockets, wrenches, extensions and adaptors, mostly metric but some SAE too. I will see what I can do about getting some of the other stuff you all have mentioned...while I am at it, maybe I'll find a reason to buy some tools for myself too Anyway, it turns out that the emergent economy in Brazil drives some things like consumer electronics, especially computers etc. to be really really overpriced. A Mac computer is roughly twice what it costs in the US. Tools fall into that overpriced category too. The Americans who run the orphanage find they get more for their money if teams like ours bring those kinds of things rather than bring the money and buy them down there. Anyway, we are all excited to help this kid along, his name is Thiago BTW, pronounced chee-ah-go. Here is a picture of him. Clearly he is off to a good start! Check out his shirt!
