Ginge !

Today working on the impreza I constantly hit tight bolts the back before was hassle and grazed knuckles

A few months ago I bought a snap on impact gun,,,,, no more hassle just have it buzz for a bit then POP it's undone !

Shame I'm still missing loads of my car

Autel 509 check an engine without lifting a spanner and borescope yet again being able to look at somthing without doing a thing and has been very handy at looking how to remove plastics an parts before doing it but my fav is a set of sockets that grips the flats not the corners .

Probably my 1/4" drive mini socket set. With cars these days being more and more difficult to work on, and everything being so tightly packed, it's what I use the most!

i could have guessed you would come up with either of them.
for me it has to be led magnetic worklamp. even with plenty of lighting installed it makes most jobs so much easier.

Head torch or ratchet spanners.

MikeyRobbo

Tough choice between

Flex Head ratchet - Great in tight spaces
Ratchet Spanners - 10x faster
Irwin Rounded Nut/Bolt Extractors - pulled me out the shit a few times!

foreigneRS

laptop and internet - knowledge is power

SMILER258

Well, if I'm honest, that's all I have used these past few years

dawesy1700
