Essentials for my Garage

[classic zed]

You can never have too many tools, as mentioned earlier buy the best you can afford, obviously I use mine every day and use them hard, so Snap-On is my choice but there are plenty of others out there for weekend use. Another thing you will probably need is a multimeter or probe for those inevitable electrical problems.

Good allen keys, not shitty ones. A decent impact driver will save much sanity. Some combination ring/open ended spanners. A decent socket set, 1/2". A 3/8" drive one would be handy, sometimes it's easier with smaller ratchets. Finally, some decent screw drivers that aren't going to rodger screw heads. Make sure you get ones that are applicable to your bike, either philips or pozi.

At our place, he who thinks he's the boss has carpet, heater, chair, fridge freezer and stereo. Had a tv but it fell down in an earthquake.

Me too, and the TV works just fine. One of the jobs on the "to do" list is to run some coax out there from the house, so I can pick up Sky as well. You want lots of light in your workshop and plenty of powerpoints as well - can't have too many power points. Bloody handy being able to just plug in anywhere without worrying about extension cords.
