For troublesome small bolts, there is also a simple thing called an impact screwdriver . You can install any kind of bit for allen, torx, screws, etc. It's a small cylinder you hold and smack the end with a hammer. It drives the bit into the screw or bolt so it doesn't slip, while turning it just a ...

Well you clearly need these! They have a color for everything - rain, snow, commuting....

The T-handle will be much more convenient for everyday use, but the L-handle will be more durable and fit into tight spaces better. Best choice of all is a torx socket set, in my opinion. I agree WD-40 is useless as a penetrant. You can mix 50% acetone and 50% ATF (automatic transmission fluid) for ...

ATF and acetone! You must have grown up on a farm Erik. I'll mention a few more esoteric tricks. One of them is lightly sharpening your torx/allen bit on a bench grinder while spinning it, to create a burr on the end, which is super hard and digs into the inside of the recess. The other trick, which...

Manov I have used this type impact tool with surprising results many times. It even works on straight and Phillips head screws. volvolugnut Added comment: This tool has a...

Salut Volvolugnut If you have some plan of o tool to build DIY, i'm interested ... I spend as much money for tools than for parts, at the end. :D I thought I had a photo of the tool I made to hold the crankshaft, but I cannot find it. It is simple to make. I used about 1/8 x 1 x 1 inch steel angle ...

Everybody's going to have their own situation, outlook and abilities, so there will be differing opinions on what to do. If I were in that situation, and assuming the engine coolant had been well maintained, I would most likely replace the belt, tensioner, tensioner pulley and idler pulley. I know s...
