MIFbody Loan A Tool

[Fox Slaughter]

So we all know how much specialty tools cost to buy so we generally rent them. Well then you have to go through paying for it and returning it for a deposit and I don't know how many times I've gotten a tool and it doesn't work, or its missing the one size I need.

So I figured maybe we can post up our specialty tools we have to let others borrow them.

These are the special tools I currently have.

• Dial Indicator with magnetic base 0 - 1" good to .001
• Micrometer 0 - 6" set, good to .0001
• Digital Bore Gauge good to .0005
• Digital Caliper good to .001
• Blind Hole Puller with a 4 different heads
• Compression Tester
• Leak Down Tester
• Fuel Pressure Tester
• Fuel Line Disconnect tools
• Valve Spring Remover (Heads must be off)

Might have a few more can't remember off the top of my head.
So if you want to borrow something, just ask.

I have almost all of the above, plus a set of coil spring compressors, and the brake caliper tool for newer brakes (to screw the piston back in) Plus all of the electronic tools needed to check wiring (Multimeter, power supply, O-scope, etc.)

About all I have to offer would be the fuel line disconnect tools for LT1 fuel lines and I think I have the "Tim's LT1 valve spring compressor" tool from LS1tech.

I don't loan my tools out unless I go with them. They came back dirty, broken, or were never to be seen again.
But, I will go lend a hand and bring some tools along. Money, beer, or pizza are great motivators.

LSx valve spring compressor - Crane Cams
Single vavle spring compressor
LSx harmonic balancer puller - OTC 6667 I believe
2/3 jaw pullers, 2/3 span puller (harmonic palancer/steering wheel)
Harmonic balancer installer
Power steering puller/installer
Torque angle gauge
3/8" and 1/2" torque wrench
4" flex hone 320 grit
Portable hydraulic ram/splitter/puller
Dial gauges, mics, calipers

Nearly all common tools and sockets 1/4" - 3/4" drive, hex, torx, 12 points, taps, easy outs, etc.

I didn't even know you had this going. I only go on LTx for obscure information I can't find anywhere else haha.

I got my valve spring tool for my Saturn. You hit it with a hammer and it has magnets that suck the keepers out, put the other part of the tool in and when you hit it with a hammer it compresses the spring and pushes the keepers in.

It will work with any valve springs but as I said, head must be off the car.

[birdie2000]

Jesus, what are you working on, a locomotive? I guess I finally understand who the target market is for the 5' long pipe wrench I always see hanging on the wall at Grainger.

[1BADAIR]

Lol I do have one of those. That's last resort. Front driveline/suspension stuff
