I also added a battery tester. I've never owned this before because I don't get into battery stuff. PS: Guys, your tools should be shiny and look unused. Don't be slobs and clean and polish your tools after each use I have tool cleaning weekends where I clean and polish my tools. Show some pride in your stuff people. 1 Like

@CityNG I really admire your collection of tools, hope to get there and be even better someday soon. But do you know anyone in lagos that can flash ECU'S, do a tune, and also has a dyno? I plan on taking on a project in December and i'd love to work with you and your tools, but most importantly, need to be able to track how much gains the bolt on part will result in...without a dyno and a tune, it is pointless. |

godwinjay: Lejeun (sp), Gazzuzz, and the other usual suspects might have information on what's available locally in Lagos.. My concern with tunes in Nigeria are the notoriously bad fuel. Tunes usually call for high grade but I guess one can add additives. We each pull each other along. If/When you get better tools then others will also aspire and that is how we further the hobby. You can always get matched sets of upgrade parts from known sellers/manufacturers that way you'll know the additional horsepower that you'll get. 1 Like |

Inception: I didn't get mine here though, but have seen several in Abuja markets. Just that I didn't find one that met my specifications which were: 1. Brushless 2. A reasonable torque rating. This one is 52N/m 3. Wide RPM range. This is 0 - 1650rpm 4. 1.5AH battery I even saw some in Lugbe building materials market sef. Prices ranged from 18k or so can't remember exactly |

Piyke: Regarding the Caliper tool, make certian that the piston(s) are push in and not screw in types. My VW uses a screw in type piston. 1 Like |
Re: Let's Encourage DIY: Operation Show Your DIY Tools. by Piyke: 9:15pm On May 25, 2018 |
EgunMogaji: Wow. We learn everyday. Never knew of screw in pistons. Mine is push in 1 Like |
Re: Let's Encourage DIY: Operation Show Your DIY Tools. by Nobody: 9:49pm On May 25, 2018 |
Piyke: No worries, we are all learning every day. Once you start seeing marks like these on the pistons then you'll know it's a screw in type. Never push back pistons until you've removed the calipers from the wheel and tried to remove dust from around the caliper boots so they can last.

I finished installing new tires on my bike and the battery was dead. Got the jumper off of Amazon and was delivered within hours. I do believe that they will be the first to do drone delivery. Anyways this small device will start up to a 6.0-liter diesel engine. It will also charge phones. N20,000 - the days of carrying jumper cables are over 3 Likes 1 Share
