Performance Tool Creeper Seat Rolling Tool Box
What’s better than a big, sturdy toolbox? A big, sturdy toolbox that rolls around! Save yourself a lot of trips back and forth with this roll-around tool chest.
A shop isn’t a shop without a quality socket set. Here’s a professional-grade set that offers sockets for both SAE and Metric applications.
You definitely need a good shop light. This LED work light is bright, lightweight and super-tough. Trust me, I’ve put its durability to the test.
Lisle 8 Gallon Oil Lift Drain
Regular maintenance like oil changes will always be a part of what you do in your shop. Take your DIY oil change game to the next level with this oil lift drain.
A rolling shop stool is not just a practical, comfortable way to work in areas like wheel wells and bumpers—it’s also fun to just sit down and roll around!
Here’s one you might not think of: a fender cover. It prevents nicks and dents while you’re working, plus it’s made of non-slip material that’s really easy to keep clean.
ACDelco 3 1/2-Ton Jack & 3-Ton Jack Stand
A heavy-duty floor jack is a garage essential. This AC Delco is hydraulic, with a weight capacity of 3.5 tons. Because lifting thousands of pounds is something you’re going to need to do.
What’s a decent jack without jack stands? If you ever plan on working under a vehicle, you’ll need a pair of these for stability and space to work.

If you haven’t already, you’ll be getting into some big jobs that require you to lift a whole engine. This hoist from AC Delco handles up to 4000 pounds, and folds up for easy storage.
Here’s another essential for the total vehicle overhaul. This stand is heavy duty, easy to maneuver and has adjustable engine supports to fit all engines.
If you’re looking to make hoisting as quick and easy as possible, this leveler can be used with your engine hoist for any engine up to 1200 pounds.
I recommend this under-hoist stand to support engine components, but even though it really looks like one, it can’t be used as a pogo stick.
