Also a really essential tool for working on Volvos, is patience!! When for the 300th+ time you go to do what should be a simple job made difficult as some engineer decided to use one of the bolts to mount 10 other things on that must be removed first, then you have made the grade! I have to say I lo...

Liquid Wrench
any metric ratchet set
any metric wrench set
a few screwdrivers
gloves

That's how I started

1 - crescent wrench
2 - rock

I carry a flat screwdriver, 3/8" ratchet with 1/2" socket and 10 mm wrench in my Toyota pickup. First two are for the chainsaw.

Umm...yeah....what ???

I recent passed 10 year anniversary as member of MVS. The first years I had little to say. Now I don't seem to ever be quiet. Thanks for all the interesting conversation.

Almost as fun as my Mercedes 240D with 4 speed manual and more room!

That is part of the MVS appeal - fun stuff, interesting stuff, AND tech help.

We need your funnies and old pictures. Otherwise it would just be - " Turn this nut - remove this hose."
Yawn, snooze, boring ...
This is the closest thing I get to social media.

Glad you joined along with everyone else who add their voices of wisdom to help us all!!

You guys, post whatever you want. Have fun. Life is short.
