VR6Pete 1,455 Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 Taken from another thread on here, what essential items do you have in your man tool kit / man draw? In my toolkit I have: Drill Dremel Cable ties Gaffer tape 10mm / 13mm spanner There's not much I can't fix with those lol In my man draw I have Batteries (probably all flat) More cable ties Tape Superglue And a million envelopes and old phone chargers! Out of date cheque book What do you have in yours? Club Chairman Link to post Share on other sites

andymk312v 15 Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 Can't believe you both missed a hammer off your lists. Best tool ever! Link to post Share on other sites
Lukey. 381 Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 Ha they're in the big tool box, but not something I use often actually. Only to persuade old or seized parts. Link to post Share on other sites

Daverse 175 Posted November 29, 2013 Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 Variously sized grinders, hammers and other beating sticks made of different materials. my toolbox is mainly used at work when i take apart stoves so consists of plusgas, screwdrivers, socket sets, brushes, v-bands and jubilee clips and heat rope, and a multimeter.

VR6Pete 1,455 Posted November 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 I do have a good sized hammer. Works a treat for persuading items to come off. Club Chairman Link to post Share on other sites

Lukey. 381 Posted November 29, 2013 Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 I thought this was the collection of tools used the most? I am unfortunate that my everyday tool requirements don't include using my grinder, which I love to, grinding anything is awesome haha. My pie chart would be a 50/50 of rearranging so everything's nice and tidy, then 3 or 4 weeks later doing it all again cos I just chucked everything back in and shut the door lol Link to post Share on other sites
Reaperx 181 Posted November 29, 2013 Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 I'm a mechanic so most if my tools are in works garage. But at home I have snap on service kit, various sanders, plastic welder, dremil multi tool, mini air compressor and spray gun. Soon Will be adding a welder and full size compressor (trying turn my home garage into a little bodyshop for the vr6 over winter). Link to post Share on other sites
