Okay - so my son's jeep needs new shocks, new brake rotors, and new pads.
I figured I might as well show him how to work on the car - already bought the parts ---- but have three options:
a) Local shade tree mechanic charges $50/hr ---- but figures on 3-4 hrs according to "the book." (I disagree --- but hey - I don't have a book)
b) Rent impact wrench from local tool rental --- about $50
c) Purchase electric impact wrench (excuse for pilgramage to the big orange altar).
d) Purchase air compressor and impact wrench (I could find a use for the compressor ---- it comes with a brad nail gun)
Obviously, option b is best price.
