Main > Automotive > Mechanics > Tools The worst thing about tools is that you always need more than you thought you would have. Whatever a car manual tells you you need to do a job will not be the end of the story. Some of the things you may need at some time are a magnetic pickup, wooden mallet, long metal tube, anvil, blowtorch, air compressor, hydraulic press, vice, thermal paste, rubber grease, angle grinder, various pullers, torque wrench, a large screwdriver used as a lever, rope, crowbar and pieces of wood.   myxlfidian (150)

Main > Automotive > Mechanics > Tools One of handiest tools I've used in years are ratchet ring spanners. They have a built in ratchet inside the ring. Other than that they look like standard open-enders. When working in a tight spot, it's so much easier to tighten a nut on a long bolt or stud when you don't have to remove the ring from it.   [guest]

Main > Automotive > Mechanics > Tools A very valuable part of a car tool catalogue is containers. You at least need an oil pan to drain out old oil and a jerry can to store coolant for reuse.   myxlfidian (150)
