i've got the older slightly larger version of this one. works great and i've had it for like 5 years so i paid more than the $60 bux Advance Auto Parts is getting for them now. the good thing about this smaller one is it takes up less room in the glove box or center console.

MOTIS by Snap-On or the Mac Taskmaster or the Matco Determinator

but you better take out a second loan on your truck. it's best to "know" someone who has one and use it at your own pleasure....

the Modis is like 5k. the Solus is 3.5k. there is another cheaper one but I dont know how much it is. I have the Solus and it is handy. if we were closer I would be happy to let you use it Chad.
