Trying to get a list together for the family.

Need some inexpensive ideas for myself....so I don't end up with years supply of socks.

Looking for rover(or general automotive) related items.
Sub $50 items prefered.

So far I have
Jackmate
3/8 tow chain
allen head socket set
dremel tool
Welding lessons(from my brother)

I have a very basic tool set...I tend to buy stuff as I need them.
Many times I don't quite have the right tool for the job.
What's in your tool box that you wouldn't do without?

Just re-surfaced my drive way....went with a 50/50 mix of crushed stone/kitty litter.

You'd think with the oil british vehicles lose, they'd have a lot less rust.

That is just the Rover Active Undercoating System

have the factory service manual.

Thought about getting a haynes manual. The factory manual doesn't always explain things at "my" level.

9/16th swivle socket (just like a swivle attachment for a rachet set but it has a 9/16ths on the end) it's great for all things land rover drivetrain related and will speed up any disassembly or reassembly. It's a stocking stuffer

I have been wanting an old style counter mounted Coca-Cola bottle opener to mount in the back of the RR for those tailgater gatherings.:D

If I could read street signs, I'd come down to Mass and teach you how to respect your elders.
