Hey guys,
Just wanted to get some advice on what tools should be on the must have if you plan on doing all your own work on your celica? I haven't really read through all that much of the BGB, just skimmed parts. I have never really undertaken all that much of my own work on my own vehicles, but would like to start doing all my own work so I don't keep paying the big bucks for simply jobs. So basically, what are the list of tools that should be purchased. Below is what I was thinking of purchasing, but please let me know your thoughts and opinions. I don't really need to know about brands, since everyone has their own opinion and I have read quite a few of yours about Craftsman, Snapon, Stanley, Mac, etc., I will form my own opinion from my own research (plus I have my own opinions already!) 3/8" torque wrench (~25-250 in.lb. torque) 1/2" torque wrench (~30-250 ft.lb. torque) 3/8" and 1/2" Metric Hex Bit Socket Set (#10,12,14,17,19) <-- I believe most of the bolt on our car are metric. Any others? 3/8" and 1/2" ratchet + breaker bar Spark Plug socket Extensions Please add to the list what other tools you would recommend or delete from my list. -------------------- |

Dont buy cheap tools...they are a complete waste of money and you`ll just end up loosing skin off your knuckles when they slip or break.
dont forget a 36mm socket for the crank pully a crank puller wire brush timing gun compression tester lithium grease brake bleeding kit volt tester inspection mirror trolley jack (the most expensive you can afford) axel stands x4 2x10" extension bars for 1/2" drive socket set rubber mallet lots of WD40 circlip pliers. |
