Hi All,

So, it's been a while since I've owned a VW (only T2 before now). Since
the breakdown I've decided to make sure I'm prepared, tool-wise, so
here's what I've got.

I'd appreciate any pointers on things I'm missing or things I'm carrying
that don't make sense

Tools:
Socket Wrenches: (1) 1/2" drive, (2) 3/8" drive
Sockets: 6mm-21mm 3/8" drive
Deep Sockets (3/8" drive): 9mm-19mm, 21mm
Large Sockets (1/2" drive): 27mm, 28mm, 30mm, 32mm, 36mm
Torque Wrench (1/2" drive)
Cheater Bar (1/2" drive)
Open Ended Wrenches: 6mm-19mm
File Set
Magnetic Pullers: (2) with Mirrors
Adapters: several 3/8" and 1/2" adapters and extenders
Allen Wrenches: Up to 17mm
Small ball peen hammer
hacksaw
mallet
metal clippers
Dwell/Tach tester
pocket multi-meter
Inductive timing light
battery charger 120v

I have everything fitted into ziplock bags. It's amazing what you can
fit into a toolbox when everything is nicely organized. We'll see how
long that lasts ;-)

Cheers,
Harry
