    I have a decent set, I've been using them for a couple years. I'll look into a skewdriver.

      You will wish you had invented them...they are a HUGE help.

      What screw gun do you have? I just switched over to the Milwaukee M12 system. Very decent stuff IMO.

        get a 8,10,12,13,15,17 set of sockets, deep sockets, and ratchet wrenches, and I think you could take nearly the whole car apart

          Do I need the 30mm or 36 for pulling the rear axles?

            30mm rear and 36mm front. To actually remove the hub in the rear you'll at the minimum need a slide hammer. Mine were in there so good, that I just paid a shop to press out and press in new ones. Up front you can just use a 2 or 3 jaw gear puller to remove the hub. In my experience impact "spindle sockets" are too thick, and I have resorted to using 12pt 30mm and 36mm chrome sockets from sears. Wear a good face mask if using an impact on chrome sockets though. None have exploded on me yet, but they are definitely looking abused.

              If you drive your e30 on stairs, you're gonna have a bad time.
