Suggest some tools...something you really find useful...

Got fed up with trying to bleed brakes so going to buy myself a vacuum bleeding kit but instead of paying postage thought I would get a few extra bits to get up to the £50 free postage limit.

So far I have in my order one of these for doing the brakes and it can test master cylinders etc (£30):


set of these - magnetic and claw one fro £3 - as there have been a few times when I wished I had some:


One of these as I don't have one (£8):


and one of these as I thought they were pretty cool when I saw one in the shop and I am always wishing I had something to help see where the damn socket is going (£9):


Any other suggestions? Just something in the <£10 range that is really useful.

I have a fork type ball joint splitter which I don't like...the other types any good?

Anti freeze tester - anyone actually use one?

Hub puller? Or can you just use 3 legged pullers as I keep meaning to buy a set.

I am sure I am missing something that I will never know I couldn't live without before I had it....

Stethoscope? Would save you getting Kate's one filthy (I'm sure there's an E joke in there somewhere)

[Scouse Monkey]

i thought of that...not sure if I would ever use it though.

this is quite useful as I always seem to be doing CV boots: http://www.ccw-tools.com/product.asp...w+More+Details

New trim if you use those to get it off !

You had a chance to take the door cards off your new Focus wizz? The catches on them get destroyed way too easily.

No not yet Gep ( but I have ordered some trim removal tools ! )
I'm still pondering where to put my screen. I want to put it in the bottom beneath the Fan/Heater controls, but I'm told I have to remove the central tunnel just to get that cubby hole/slide up door out. So......waiting for the tools.
