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???

Tool tip: "Screw grab"! Used it all the time when I worked as an aircraft technician. Great when you are to loosen for example a Philips head screw and you get the feel that it so stuck that it will end up with a rounded head. Or if a PO has damaged the head. A drop of "Screw grab" usually saves the day.

So much know how that you've learned over the years. Thanks for sharing your go-to tools. One I use a lot in the garage is a Klein 10-in-1 screwdriver. It's a little bulky so it's not ideal for some of the tight spots; however, it quickly swaps between Phillips, standard, square, and star bits. The hold on each of the bits is really tight with a nice 'snap' to let you know it's secure and not going anywhere. Can't wait to see another video!

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.

Jen. Start slowly. No crazy expensive stuff. 6 point impact sockets can do everything.. short and deep. Triton or gearwrench. Both good. And at amazon. Only pricy things i would consider are the pinless gear wrench universal socket sets. They are strong and excellent. Start w metric stuff unless you deal with american cars. Invest 200 dollars a year or less. Dont spend big money. And stick to normal size sets . A youtube guy. Car care nut has an excellent video on buying very basic tools. Find some old guy like me to help teach you and borrow tools at least several times before you buy anything to special.. Combination 6 point wrenches 6 point regular and deep sockets Small and larger flex ratchet Screwdrivers . Watch project farm to pick some.

And I keep a couple little bitty vice grips around for pinching off full or vacuum lines when you’re changing fuel filters and hunting for vacuum leaks. And never throw out any kind of table, cart etc that has wheels on it. In my shop I have an old butcher block from the kitchen for a rolling workbench. Also an old barbecue grill.

I have never tried a socket driver so that will be this week's tool special. One tool that I have found really handy lately is an endoscope/borescope that lets me see things I could not see or find otherwise. Before having it, I would stick my phone or small camera into the area and see what shows up in the photo.

What do you use to clean dirty knecht air filters ? BTW you are awesome thanks. Did my first oil change ever on my 356 after watching your videos.

Oh, that's great! I clean the filters with gas and a stiff plastic brush. I have K&N foam on the inside so that really does all the work. Those are cleaned with gas and then lightly oiled. Thanks, F

Totally agree! I've been working a bit on my bike (ok, trike) a bunch and those metric "T" allens are essential.

I may need to investigate those ring clip pliers. I've destroyed many cheap ones and I need to get back to work on my Type 1's rear wheel hub/bearing replacement and I destroyed my one pair removing those massive inner clips that hold the bearings in. Same goes for the one clip on the crankshaft. I just hate these clips!

HI Franny, what a great video with great tool ideas. One of my favorite tools while working on my replica Speedster is a nut driver, but with a flexible spring coil shaft. Literally allows you to turn nuts or screw heads around a corner, with good force too! Even if can't quite line up directly on the nut, I find it locks on to the nut and you can just turn without concern of slipping off the head.

Gloves. My younger brother was an aircraft mechanic. He developed Glioblastoma, brain cancer,which he ascribed to not using gloves when he was cleaning parts in solvents. RIP ROGER,57 years old. PPE is no joke. Today’s chemicals and solvents need to be taken more seriously than that old coffee can filled with gasoline that we used for cleaning everything back in the day. Breathing the fumes and soaking one’s hands in solvents today, you risk finding out too late that the damage can be irreversible.

I'm fan of gloves. A lot less handwashing at the end of the day! And you can get more use out of your gloves if you wash them -- just take a normal bar of soap, while you're still wearing the gloves, and wash your "hands." Remove, let dry, reuse another time. They don't come perfectly clean but they are clean enough for many jobs.

We all love working on classic cars, which means we all love our tools! Thanks for sharing. I find my medium sized dead blow hammer is my favorite. It is soft faced and the shot/sand in it boost your impact force. Saves my knuckles when braking a nut loose.

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
