Think Javal works at Holden.
You'll need Torx and E Torx for the Opel stuff. Even the VEs have a bit now.
I LOVE these as well
they even have a 22/24 works mint on draining gboxs, etc.
Pick set is good. Orings and little clips and stuff.
Real long, long nose pliers with an angle are good too.
how much of that stuff in that box is mine young apprentice
if your going to need micrometers, you might as well get tele gauges.
Butterfly gun.. Can't believe it took me years and years to buy one.. Bestest tool EVER.!!.. I just can't find it. think some ones nicked it.
^ YES, air ratchets aswell
Mechanic.
Stubby Spanners added to the list.
I have all of those, forgot to mention i have Torx bits.
Just the Narva light you gave me.
I have no idea what that is.
Again, i have no idea what that is.
Yeah i have one lined up if the controller at work ever brings it in.

A telegauge or Telescopic Gauge is an accurate way to measure the bore of something.
you need a micrometer if you actually want them to worth buying though, no point using a vernier on them.
Rachet spanners ftw
Dial indicator if you think you need it
