Generic Servicing Tools


ahhh where to start, build up the kit of time as u attempt each job you can add a new tool to the collection.
- assorted pullers, tie rod separators, axle nut (32mm 6 sided socket - Impact!), female torx bits and assorted socket sets, spanners, geared spanners, hammers, crow bar, breaker bar, rattle gun, security bit set and torque wrench
- wheel chocks, low profile ramps, jacks and stands
- soldering iron, trouble lights, LED headlamps and multimeter

Costs:
- beginner startup 200/300 (bunch of socket sets, screw driver, pliers and spanners)
- medium 300/700 (bunch of sockets, geared spanners, ring spanner, couple special tools)
- export 700+ (air compressor + air tools + impact socket kit and the above)
Brands:
- i use a mix of kincrome and sidchrome
- for the price kincrome is great, when on special try to hit up sidchrome.
- good tools should last for life
- plier and screwdrivers are just generic stanley, I have had bad luck with Torjan and some other cheap china crap

Generic tools:






Semi generic/special tools:
Tools that come in hand on suspension work and LSD

Some more stuff:

Large 1/2" socket set - good for the big bolts

Bit of wood work tools - add a grinder to the fix and you can do minor fab work

Axle socket - When taking the suspenions/axle out

Leathermen - Mans best friend

Tap and die set - creating new threads of fixing damaged threads on bolts and nuts
