    Default Tool Shopping!

    Hi guys.

    Tomorrow I am going tool shopping. TFYT Grant FTW.

    I'd like from you suggestions for things i've forgotten or things you think i'll need.

    On the 'primary' buy list are the following:

    3/8" deep sockets on rack
    3/8" allen sockets on rack
    3/8" 15mm, 16mm, 18mm
    3/8" socket rack x2
    1/4" 4mm, 10mm
    1/4" socket rack x2
    1/2" 16, 17, 18
    1/2" impact 15, 16, 18
    mini extension 3/8"
    loooooooong 1/2" extension

    ^^ the individual stuff is completing incomplete sets, lol

    Ratchet Spanners (flex head 11, 12, 15 > 19)

    Longspanners 10+12, 13+15, 17+19

    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.

    if your going to need micrometers, you might as well get tele gauges.

    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.
