With the money you saved at Harbor Freight, get on amazon and get yourself some Knipex pliers! The quality is outstanding. I'd start with: 1) 10" Cobra 2) Needle nose pliers 25 01 160 - I prefer comfort grip, but that's a few dollars more, and I have big hands There are many others in my toolbox but those are the most frequently used ones. (The "pliers wrench", which look overpriced and not very handy, are also outstanding and have more uses than you'd ever suspect.)

Good afternoon Franny and Heidi, I just rebuilt a 912 engine. I had the block machined for larger pistons, used new crank, camshaft, pistons cylinders, etc. The engine started right up, after awhile it started to get warm and I shut it off at slightly over 190 degrees. I tried adjusting the timing, valves and carburetors, same thing. I dropped the engine and removed the fan shroud to get to the brand new aluminum oil cooler, it was bone dry. I removed the third piece to make sure the oil supply tube bushings were in the correct direction, they were. Both the oil pressure piston and the oil bypass pistons are free and loose. Blew air thru all the journals and they seemed clear and open. I replaced the oil cooler with a new aluminum oil cooler and I'm getting ready to re install the engine and give it a try. I was getting oil to the crankcase and every body seems to be happy and lubed, but after the engine builds up pressure and warms up, no oil got to the cooler, any ideas???

A drop of "Screw grab" usually saves the day.

I used to be in the tool business, and still do some work on my own cars. I have all of the ratchets you show, incl the rotating head, roto handle, the extend I have all 3 drives (dual head can be too thick), and a few additions, one is a 1/4 ratchet where you can angle but lock the head in that position, the other are 1/4, 3/8, and 1/2 drives that can be inserted flush with the ratcheting wrenches. The little ratchet is good for locking at an angle (saves knuckles), the insert able drives are handy in tight spots. Oh yeah, aside from the stubby and regular length ratcheting wrenches (got 8 mm to 24 with no sizes skipped, plus 27 to 32, and a set of extra long ratcheting. Oh, another is a quality set of left turn drill bits. Trying to drill a hole for an EZ out left turn, most of the time the broken bit just comes out. One of the tools you hope to never have to use, but when needed..... Keep up the good work.

Not necessarily my favorite. I found a telescoping magnetic pen very useful when getting out or putting in a spark plug, especially when I'm in the least few threads. Much better than using a flexible tube.

Multimeter! The amount of times I've seen people ask about electrical fualts and they've gone and spent lots of money replacing components and wasted lots of time and they still don't know what their fault is. A simple £15 multimeter and some basic testing knowledge would have saved them a world of time and money

I use a small block of wood and a metal hammer ... because someone stole my two faced soft hammer. Anyone seen it? yellow one end, red the other?
