the hammer action is loud, apart from that, you will live it.

I can not recommend Milwaukee highly enough to anyone that will listen.

Use their tools every day, and love them.

How about a bit more DIY tools?

Here is my spigot bush removing tool. Worked a treat.

A home made tool that executes it's intended purpose; is the coolest tool in the box. ;)

Must be close now mate!

RRP is $150 but well... I paid plenty less than that. :whistling:

Supposedly will undo nuts that have been rounded up to 80-85%

Interesting..

I needs me some of these methinks. :)

I would like to say these are the best tools I have ever bought and if you work on old cars you need these in your life. :)

This is exactly what I needed recently to change the fuel filter on my daughter's RX8. Removing the cover on top of the fuel tank is a total pain to do and after borrowing three different version of this tool we finally found one that did the job. Where did you get this one from because it looks better design than all of them?

True, but very annoying there doesn't seem to be a local distributor or a way to buy easily. Given it's not like I'm trying to shift a harmonic balancer, I'd probably go with the chinesium.

It looks like this might be it on eBay:

>$100 inc postage

ORRRRRR

$20, though it doesn't have that lip at the bottom.

Know what else is the best kind of special tool? The one that isn't needed in the first place.

Put the starter motor back on the car and we all know what a royal PITA that top bolt is right? Well, since I removed the water/oil heat exchanger guess what? All you need is a 450mm 3/8 socket extension and universal joint.

    • That's a given!  Bit hard to powdercoat it properly without removing them! 😁
    • No detail on compressor or turbine sizes, which doesn't help with housing size selection with that kit. However, from SR20DET mucking about and money torching perspective, a GTX2860R Gen 2 w/ 0.64 (46mm inducer) will do ~260kW on E85 about 1.5bar of boost. All in before 3000pm, which cause a gearbox to shatter. Now imagine the same turbo, on a modern motor with an extra 0.5L of displacement, and heaps of cam timing adjustability (not an on/off affair like the Nissan shit boxes). If this was my car (which I would never own or consider buying, ever!), I would go for a nice twin scroll setup, and a G30-660. Gates plumbed back, no silly shit. Lean on the cam timing, big displacement to create a flat-ish torque curve.  
    • Do you plan on using 98 or e85?
    • This should be pretty easy. 200rwkW is just about the max power out of an RB25 stock turbo. So, 12ish psi on a 2.5L. That boost limited mainly by the prospect of seeing the turbine in the cat after the smoke show. A steel wheeled equivalent would likely happily do ~220rwkW at something like 17 psi, where it would probably be bumping into the usual limits of such a sized turbo. These things have like a .48 rear. You will not need the 0.86 rear. The 0.64 will be fine. In fact, if you were looking at various mid-200rwkW options for RBs, most of them would be in a 0.64 rear. So, I think you will definitely want to be no bigger than that for a same sized but probably even more efficient (at making power) modern engine.
