    Re: Suggestions for a toolkit?

    I have just been down to Halfords to buy the Advertised 120 piece tool kit at £97.89.
    When I got there no stock but the 150 piece kit was in its place, after finding a thing to answer my query, I was told it is £139.99. I decided to buy it anyway, at the till I was charged £97.89. well happy it is a neat looking kit, also bought the Oil filter Pliers.
    YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE

    That's the one I got too!

    It looks the business, bloody heavy to carry home on the tube though

    Bought an impact driver too, now all I need is a good torque wrench (2 actually, one for below 10nm and one for above, really annoying that the values don't all fall within one range )

    With one minor service I'll have won back all I've spent on tools (bar the torque wrench probably)...

    Unless I mess up the work, in which case I'll be really cross with myself...

    '93 DR800 BIG (Fully farkled!)

    Gone but not forgotten:
    '04 Tiger (MRA-Vario screen, Crash bars, K&N Airfilter, dual headlamp upgrade. Colour: orange, 'cause I'm Dutch, innit!)
    '93 ZZR600

    I'm on the Safe House List! Garage and minor toolkit available...

    I just need the torque wrenches, I will be getting them from Halfords for the quality.
    Hopefully find someone with half a brain cell next time.
