Before I start to compile a list into a PDF, is there anyone who has made something like this?

Such as this is every tool you will ever need to work on a 911?
Socket size, type, extension etc.

I'm researching 911's right now and it looks like i'll be ready for a 997TT next year around this time. I'd like to be prepared before owning.

I've done this with all my previous vehicles.

Pilsner Urquell, case
Neosporin, just a tube
Bandage, bigger is better
Knee pads, the ones you use for work are fine
Jump suite, Dickies work for me
Catalog of cuss words, I am surprised that I can pull up a rarely used one quickly
Radio, classic rock is best for auto work
Missing wife, or more accurately, a wife that is missing

Peace

Pilsner Urquell, case ( never had, will try)
Neosporin, just a tube ( pfftt grease and gravel man)
Bandage, bigger is better ( yea i always have duct tape and those ready)
Knee pads, the ones you use for work are fine ( another fine suggestion!)
Jump suite, Dickies work for me ( agreed, I have to stop ruining my tshirts and jeans)
Catalog of cuss words, I am surprised that I can pull up a rarely used one quickly ( talk like pirate!)
Radio, classic rock is best for auto work ()
Missing wife, or more accurately, a wife that is missing ( no wife, happy life)


I'm used to tight quarters, 300zx :/
I also have a Car pit dug into my concrete garage so that helps.

Do you have PDK or 6MT?
thanks!

Missing wife, or more accurately, a wife that is missing---
Am I going to hear about you on an episode of 48 hours????


In case the answer is yes---I get dibs on the Pcar

Really just need basic hand tools. I've never needed anything "special" yet. A motive bleeder for the brakes and an airlift for the coolant are good to haves. Durametric is nice too.
Complete set of metric sockets from about 5mm to around 26mm...give or take a size or two.
Set of Torx bits and a set of hex bits.
Ratchets and extensions and that sort of thing.

Devil Boy's advice is good (to say nothing of the invaluable advice from Bruce in Phily). I have found the Wayne Dempsey book "101 projects for 996/997" (or something like that), along with the numerous tutorials found herein, to be indispensable. Dempsey provides a section on must have and good to have tools. Each project in the book and most of the forum member-posted tutorials provide the specific tools needed for the respective project. Then again, it sounds like you are not new to DIY, so you likely have all the goods needed. I did not, and had a lot of fun searching eBay for good tool deals.

Oil filter wrench (socket) of specific size, depending on MY/engine.

+
Crowfoot spanner set
4 Jack stands, 2 flat top for front and 2 U top for rear
2 aluminum floor jacks. HF will do fine
Usual assortment of rotary and hand wire brushes

Devil boy : any specific Torx/hex bits? I'm set on pretty much all had tools, jacks, etc. Just missing stuff like specialty Bits and a press.

Batman33: got it, i'll check it out.

Uwon: I've learned Wire and rotary brushes have saved my *** more than once. Those are invaluable. I'm straight on the stands and jacks but I'll look into the flat tops

Thanks boys

Bruce, you forgot one, an important one:

If/when you compile a list, please post it here.

Devil Boy

Sorry I wasn't meaning to blow this off. I just never remember to look in my toolbox when I get home. I think you got all the info you needed though from the other post link. Just get all the sizes

See post #6 in the link I provided. I have full sets of metric and SAE sockets, and torx screwdrivers, but bought this Craftsmam kit. At $30, cheap.
