Essential Tools for your Triumph 

Posted By : James Carruthers, 29-Aug-2003, 11:59am

The topic of tools was bought up yesterday in chat...

Got me thinking... what are the most useful tools... my opinion is that the right tools make the job easier...


Top of my list are the following:


Proper ratchet spanner set (open ended on one end and ratchet on the other)
Standard spanner set
1/4 socket set (with push to release ratchet & wobble bars)
3/8 socket set (with push to release ratchet& wobble bars)
1/2 socket set (with push to release ratchet & wobble bars & breaker bar)
A good set of screwdrivers - ranging from very small to huge
Pliers - standard and long nosed
Feeler gauges
Hammer
Mole grips (standard and long nosed)


Axle stands
Wheel ramps (lazy axle stands ) )
Chocks of some sort...

Oil drain container thingy
Funnel



That's my lot for now...
