I've got a mix of Britool, Half%r$s (I'm an FE/VX fan as well and can't type the Blue Oval's name out in full), Kamasa and a lot of American kit - mainly Sears Roebuck's "Craftsman" range with lifetime guarantee, about which they're serious: ratchet repair kits which have everything but the handle cost a cent each over the counter!
I've also obtained from a US trip a "Sidewinder" Ratchet - 3/8" drive with a T-handle that you twist to drive the head - it's ideal for those bolts you can see, get a socket on but can't turn a ratchet handle on - I'll post a photo as soon as I re-locate it and the camera!

disk cutter ?
i'v yet to find a decent broken stud remover and rounded nut undoer yet but the most usefull tool i have is long/deep sockets! got some in half inch but looking for a set of 1/4 3/8ths drive. another great "tool" is those boxed allen and torx straight err keys with the sockets to fit your socket handle you can put more welly on them than the bent ones. the set of allen keys mentioned earlier are great but saddly missing for some strange reason 7mm which my golf has aplenty ,i cannot find a single 7mm of the same type to add to the set to make up the deficiancy Last edited by chesters6; Jan 4th, 2008 at 13:52. |

If they're going for £1 in M&S, I'll be buying a couple more to keep in the other cars.
