tonight i love my windscreen fillet tool... took an hour to fit the screen into the seal then 3 mins to fit the filler strip...

looks much better now with fresh seal, and a black filler, rather than a shitty mikly white (was chromed) one

Black Filler strip ftw rock on

my tool of the week is my balljoint braker its is a gift from the gods

my tool of the week is my nibbler. awesome!!! oh and spotweld drill bits but they are abit boring.

This week, my favourite tool is my Hamer Car Lift.

Managed to cut out a rear inner wing without clambering around on the floor.

Been racking up the miles with my towing 'A' frame recently, towed a 2 tonne volvo back 25 miles on sunday, and rescued a mate tonight with a fucked clutch, wicked bit of kit :)

I've got one. It's fooking fantastic. I've towed thousands of miles on it.

There a some questions as to the legality of using these frames for long distances however. apbellamy & myself havent had any trouble though (YET)

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

I think the police aren't too concerned as long as you are towing safely. e.g. not over weight etc

Still loving my lathe, trying to figure out how I managed with out it.

As several folks have stated:

Ratchet spanners - best thing since spanners.

"se ne estas rompita, ne ripar ĝi - supercharge ĝi."

I've just got some imperial ratchet spanners which I am itching to try out!

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

My favourite recent purchase are my Snap On pry bars. No more knackering up your best screwdrivers, these things are the boys.

My new die grinder and set of carbide burrs. Dont know how I'd live without them now.

Haha! Mike loves Andy's tool!

Same deal as last time Mike

my 1/4 spanner

It means I am bleeding the brakes so the car is about to drive

And it is impossible to replace with a metric spanner

Rusty by nature

couple of updates

i have a long thin nut grabber jobbie that can pick up washers and bolts that drop down the back of the engine, handy mo fo!

also, love putting riv nuts in things, put my wing mirrors on the other night, then sat for 10 minutes thinking of other stuff i could use it on, fit!

also, bought a set of really small combo spanners, from 3 to 8mm in 0.5 increments, and the imperial equivalent, so handy for the little jobs, dont know how ive managed without them (yes i do, vice grips!)

one more thing that ive fallen in love with, stainless steel M3 x 20mm machine screws

I use them on everything now, arches, brackets, basically, anywhere i used to put a rivet, i used these, need to order more now as ive gone through 100 since xmas!
