Trim removal tools - best 8 quid I've ever spent.
When I stripped the interior out of our D1 I didn't break a single clip using that little set.

DaveM-sport · Dec 3, 2013

Trim removal tool sounds nice! Any pics of what's in the set?

I'm not sure could I single out one tool in particular but probably the main ones that not many people have that I'd really miss if they were gone would be my tyre machine, lathe and oxy-acetylene set... Oh and I couldn't live without my lift too... Suspension rebuilds and engine swaps used be lots of fun without it!

A good hoist is a useful piece of kit, alright.

Specially if youre working on your own a lot, as I am.

Big length of scaffold pole that were borrowed for jousting one night many a year ago. Cut into a few smaller lengths for various jobs - one being a big stenshun bar to jump on when bolts is stiff!

I dont do google to decide, all I can say my snappy one is the tits, been driven over and abused for 4 years. Down side can only get batteries off snappy man so milwaukee gets points for that

KillaJoules · Dec 3, 2013

The milwaukee makes the Clarke look a dremel. Pricey though. Used to have nice one but the batteries cost a fortune, then it died.

Personally my best ever tool is a land rover

excellent for all sorts of jobs such as mobile scaffolding, stump pulling, carpet lifting, carting crap about, straitening other vehicles out etc. A truly multi function tool

Titch1987 · Dec 3, 2013

I have the snapon one and wouldn't be with out it also have the cordless drill
