hands down it is the short bent flathead screwdriver. ive never found a more usefully shaped piece of metal.

Snap-on has a 1/4" j-tool, I dont recall the exact name, but it has a knurled knob at the end that you can twist to turn a socket, torx, screwtip, and comes in real handy for starting a bolt, adjusting a carb, opening up a hoseclamp... Ill have to go out to the garage and find the p/n.


interested in that picture.

Replacement fuses for your multi-meter. I never imagined that something so small and cheap could bring everything to such a grinding halt.

Husky 1/2 inch drive composite impact wrench. Lightweight with 700 ft/lbs of torque and a pretty low CFM usage. It is the hand of god when it comes to rusted & torqued on bolts.

The Husky saved my ass on getting the camshaft bolt out.

angle grinder w/ cutting discs - Don't worry, it has yet to be used on an e30.

...but i like to work with metal in my spare time, it's between that and an old-fashioned stick arch weldor....like buttah~

Sounds like someone has a lot of underbody rust :p

You don't know the half of it.

I use that shit on class 8 trucks, nothing on any of my e30's has ever been stuck enough to bring out the 6' pipe. I had to use it on my newly inherited '94 civic hatch when doing the timing belt. Fucking monkey's at Cambodian Tire overtourqued the fuck out of it AND put red loctite on the main pulley bolt.
