One more very important tool which none of us has listed yet...Can you guess




[size=16pt]YouTube DIY videos[/size]

They have been amazing for me!

CityNG:


Exactly and I think the intent of the thread.

Small tools for small jobs, big tools for big jobs. Many people end up in emergency room because they used inadequate tools for the job.

Nothing beats having the proper tool for the job at hand.

True talk. Nothing more disgraceful than abandoning a DIY escapade already under-way and surrendering to your mechanic because you just discover you don't have the tool to finish up

Trust me, been there done that in the beginning with the improper tools. Over here we can rent tools for free from auto parts store too.

The realm of tasks I take on also dictates that I collect tools. I don't just do oil changes, brake jobs, etc I install V8 engines in cars that came with 4 cylinder engines, timing belt jobs, engine rebuilds, transmission rebuilds, creating new wiring harnesses, lowering suspensions, modifying brakes from higher performance cars into regular cars, restoring old classic cars,etc

I replaced the cylinder head on one of my MR2s and when it came to setting the camshafts to the crankshaft I was lost. I was doing an all nighter too so I popped on YouTUbe at 2AM and watched a video.

Permit me Sir, but where and how did you learn all these skills? You are not in the field of mechanical engineering, are you?

Necessity, as they say Sir, is the mother of invention. No mechanical schooling of any sort. I'm an IT professional but I have always believed that we as human beings with our gift of opposable thumbs just need to apply ourselves sometimes.

So with books, tools and being attentive when more seasoned folks I have managed to learn quite a bit.

Piyke:
My handy Haynes manual...

Bro Please how did you source for this?

CityNG:
My crane as promised earlier.

All my heavy duty equipment are in red.

Chief there is a red bicycle in the background. Abi dat one too na heavy equipment...lol. But seriously those are some heavy artilery.

Hmmm. Nothing is impossible if one is determined... I admire your skills on automobile.

bros, when I grow up I want to be like you.

I guess Siena should just pass some comments, as he is NOT 'qualified' to post his tools' pictures here. CityNG has done enough decimation!

Your library is even more impressive than the tools!!!

Between the Haynes and Chilton manuals, which would you say has more illustrations. Can you do a one or 2 sentence review on the 2 manuals?

It's a situation of 6 of one and half a dozen of the other.

They'll both get you through the work. What I use them for are specs like measurements and volumes.

Just a couple more to tip into the abyss and really infuriate the one or two people who doesn't appreciate my collection

Pic #1: 500 watts each so both put out 1,000 watts. I can work well into the night and feel like it's daylight in my garage.

Pic #2: For the quick inflation of tires, starting a car with low battery, charging a cellphone (110volts) on the road or track, etc very useful little bugger.

Got this recently called a jam-nut tool. I would recommend this for valve clearance adjustments, makes it easier to loosen/tighten the locknut while ensuring that the adjusted valve remains at the set clearance. For the 2003-2007 Accord it really makes it easier as the railing for the injectors get in the way when trying to use a spanner

Thanks mod for helping, the spam bot had been banning me each time I attach the pic.

Diy stuffs are nice, cus u get to explore how to make stuffs yourself.

Resurecting dead threads. So siena no gree come here abi. btw, i see cityng is not available. What is his new moniker? thats if he is still visiting this forum.

I wanted to show the 4 pieces of spanner and screw driver I carry around, but I think I should just respect myself and shut up.

Removing cobwebs...

Got this new compression gauge. I've always wanted to add this to my collection.

One of my tools, the rest are scanners, sockets and screws.

To get accurate readings you need to critically follow the procedure.
