Tools you would like

[Bren]

I would love a big compressor - it means I can run air tools, plasma cutter etc and not have to use nibblers or electric grinders.

 

A portapak would also be useful if I had the dosh - good for brazing etc.

 

What tools would fellow shitters like?

[Pillock]

Welder. There was someone on here selling quite a nice one for £35, about five miles from my house.

Sadly, I was £35 short of the asking price, and whilst I've just gained a lockup it doesn't have any electrickery and I'm buggered if I'm welding in the street.

 

I had one before, never got round to learning to use it and my ex-wife lobbed it on the tip.

 

I'd also like a compressor for cheap paint jobs but same applies.

A garage would be a start.

 

 

 

(I have one but it's 20 miles away at my mum and dads and has no power or room etc).

[Sigmund Fraud]

A garage would be a start.

 

+1. I was dreaming of a nice unit with an inspection pit this morning, as I was doing the brakes on Mrs.Fraud's car in the rain.

[overrun]

Plasma cutter and a two-poster would be just swell.

[Shep Shepherd]

An electric impact wrench.

[Manbearpig]

4 post lift. Dream away.

[Jim Bell]

Is a garage a tool? I'd like a garage. And a hammer.

[purplebargeken]

I'd love to have a lead loading kit!

[overrun]

An electric impact wrench.

I recently bought a second hand 1/2" drive 18v cordless Snap-On and it is now my favourite tool.

The torque it has is very impressive.

 

Why do you want an electric one?

I don't have an air compressor.

I don't have an air compressor.

Do you mean a cordless one, then? I had an actual electric one once, from Argos.

It was tossing *#@!

[Squire_Dawson]

An inspection pit for sure. It would make the periodical rustproofing and chassis inspection much easier and pleasant.

Yes. A cordless one, like my trusty B&D drill

[Station]

I'd love a white room for photo ing cars

[HillmanImp]

I need a good strongbar so that i can give Volksy his one back. However all the time i have his i dont feel the need to return it. However he has my PS3 so probably a fair swap.

[UmBongo]

A long handled claw hammer for killing zombies like the one the dude on The Walking Dead uses.

[sheffcortinacentre]

a ramp.

[Inspector Morose]

+1 on a plasma cutter. I've never used one but they look a real handy pice of kit for old Skool cut and shuts.

[jakebullet]

A lift of some description. Maybe a tig welder so I can pretend to fabricate rather than just weld.

[Noel Tidybeard]

+1. I was dreaming of a nice unit with an inspection pit this morning, as I was doing the brakes on Mrs.Fraud's car in the rain.

i'd settled for off road parking

[Grundig]

I'd like a two post lift, a lathe c/w milling head & a pillar drill

[derskine]

Milling machine, lathe, pillar drill and plasma cutter would do me!

[Rocket88]

I've seen the rear cargo lifts from various goods delivery wagons bodged into vehicle lifts..................looks epically non Elf and Safety

[bub2006]

I would just be happy with a slightly bigger shed and a flat floor

[Parky]

Proper tool cabinet and a pair of rhino ramps

[I_am_Diesel]

An engine crane, a decent press and a bigger beer fridge.

[simmo]

Would love a set of Go-Jacks they make moving knacker shite so easy but far too costly.

[Bobthebeard]

The 'Silverline' cheapy trolley jack and axle stands that I lent to the bloke across the road last month.

[twosmoke300]

Fair play to you boys who work on old shite outdoors and with minimal tools. You must really love the cars.

I have a fully equipped workshop and tools etc and I really cba working on my old tat . Probably because I spend all day fixing other people's shite I suppose.
