Multimeter / voltmeter / ammeter.

machine mart gift voucher! MMMMM! better than pound sterling..

-- a really sticky elastic band around the wallet is a real boon.

best tool ever, -the internet! - how many times do we now reach for the phone to find out a quick answer to question with spanner in other hand!

I have quite a few mechanic pro tools and workshop equip, hoist, dollies, tool chests, compressor etc

but for instance, I have a led torch with a pull out car aerial with a magnet on the end to pick up the 10mm bolts you tend to drop and don't come through the engine bay etc. also use the claw on a bendy cable tool for same.
in the car, cheap 12v worklight I leave next to battery in case. (breakdown) I also have spare serpentine belt there too. and a bottle of coolant, and jump leads in the boot, and a decent tow rope to pull bmw's up a slope in winter, I have the sprinter bottle jack in there too.

great idea for a thread Jason

my best glovebox tool is my iid tool

my best garage tool is my new air compressor and impact wrench,everyone should have one

my boot tools,oil,coolant,spare expansion tank,torch,toolkit,breaker bar,tow rope and an essential bottle jack..!!

Nick Clegg...that is all Is this where I put the car details and a bit about myself ?........

^ yip, a big tool indeed..

Disposable nitrile gloves. I don't do any dirty job without them. It's like having extra hands! As in you do a dirty job but can take them off to go back in the car or nip to the toilet with clean hands..... Previously..
