    NEMS Toolbox- Need a special tool? look here first !

    Just an idea I had. This thread is for people to post specialty tools that they might have in case other members need them. I'll start.


    Toehead has:
    MIG welder (gas/flux)
    Tactrix cable
    Megasquirt tuning software
    Pitman arm puller for older steering boxes (aka camaro)
    Inline spark tester
    Battery load tester
    Hydrometers for battery and coolant
    Impact sockets
    Claw puller

      Great thread, but one nitpick - Megasquirt is free


      Mine:
      - Oxy/Acetylene torch
      - Air tools (1/2" impact gun, 3/8" ratchet wrench, cutoff tool, grinder, etc)
      - Small bench sander
      - Lots of large sockets (21-35mm range, including standard sizes)
      - Tap/die set

      Can't think of much more that isn't common stuff that everyone should have...

                Trifecta Tuning software with OBDII cable for GM tuning

                18' car trailer with 8000lb winch

                Access to a motorcycle lift at my buddy's place

                Access to my old 2ton engine hoist at my buddy's place

                I think Quirk is a special kind of tool, and I've got access to him too, so there's that.
