Default Re: New SV owner, basic tools...

Oh and I suppose I should add, I've the first link set (well actually to one they sold before that one, but close enough).

added a troque wrench, a pair of normal and long nose pliers, decent set of mole grips, a few screwdrivers,multi meter, feeler gauges, and a rubber mallet and you're just about there.

I've used the set for the passed 7 years and it's never let me down, probably done well over 30 engine rebuilds in that time, so although it's got a replacement lifetime thingy, I've never needed it.

Cheap tools are alright for minor stuff, but the right tool makes the job so much easier, if fund are tight beg steal or borrow and save the pennies until you can afford something decent.

Oh and remember tools aren't just for christmas, there for life (or is that dogs ...... works for both ).

Cheers Mark.
