Extensions. Plenty of them in different sizes.
Deep well sockets as well as plain. Nutdrivers, oddly enough, we needed one to get the high beams off, 10mm if memory serves me. Assorted screwdrivers are always handy including a really big flathead (prybar) ...air compressor and impact tools would be nice. -------------------- "He won't come out of the bathroom.

"Hmm. Ask him if he's the dragon reborn." "What?" "Just do it." ".......He said yes." "Tell him you are not darklings. He should open up." ".......Sweet. Thanks." "No problem." |
