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. -------------------- |

I'm going to retract a previous statement. I mentioned about getting a 1/2" torque wrench and a reversible 3/8" to 1/2" adapter. Scratch the adapter. I snapped my second one in as many months yesterday. First time I tried to use it too. Just get a set of 1/2" extensions and be happy, and pick up the 1/2" sockets while you're at it.
