Talk about stealing one new thread thought you bastard,,,but I digress.

This little toy is way cool,,,this little puppy is a rivet gun and like a rivet gun can also rivet thread inserts and stud inserts as well and no it's not for loan unless you can roll my guards at the same time.

Just recently seen these lol Damn handy.

This little guy has helped me more than a few times now Mirror with LEDs on it so i can hold the mirror and a Ratchet,screw driver...what ever instead of having to hold a torch and the mirror

This baby has got me out of trouble lots of times. Think about the last time you couldn't undo that rear hub nut,,,front pulley bolt,,,diff pinion flange nut,,,ect,,,for me it easily removes my centre wheel nuts on the Radical when we have over-tightened them. Very sweet tool indeed. It now travels with me where ever I go racing.

Thanks Marky.

Need a flashlight for working on the car? This is a CREE LED 330 lumen and runs on rechargeable lithium batteries. Thing is absolutely awesome.

damn straight....my favourite cool tool

for anyone that has not seen one....it is a 64x geared socket driver.

So you turn the handle 64 times for a single turn of the socket....but at the same time it puts in 64x the force.

You can undo absolutely anything with this.....just think a bolt or nut done up to 640nm (like an overtightened centrelock wheel nut) only takes 10nm and some time to undo

One I find handy quite regularly is my Narva LED torch (link: http://narva.com.au/products/browse/led-2, see item 71302).

It's super-bright (450 lumens for 4hrs), stays charged for ages if it's barely used, and even better that I got it for FREE!

Vice Grips: Great for undoing rounded nuts and bolts that someones buggered and holding hot exhaust parts, welding, oxy etc

Rubber Mallet: Awesome for beating crap out of something a hammer would normally destroy.

The Large Pry Bar: Very useful for prying things...separating engines from gearboxes, sliding out stubborn driveshafts, control arms etc

[nIsMo86]

Large Breaker Bar: Very handy for getting leverage to undo very tight nuts and bolts.
