Well I recently started working at a pretty well equipped auto repair shop.
I have had the opportunity to see some really cool tools,
this is one I really like, an induction bolt heater.

I have used this and thought it might be a great addition to the tool box for removing lots of stuck fasteners,
like water pump bolts, or water bridge bolts, ex manifold bolts
Note drain the coolant when working on the block to get the full effect of this tool .

If you have any other cool tool ideas for the workshop please post them.
I have a few more things to share as this thread develops.

Stan,
My contribution is not for the pro, such as yourself.
My offering is a tool for the new guy at home who might not be aware of them. They're really helpful especially if you want to get the car high, then quickly/easily get it low to get under the hood.

Mrmerlin, you're the coolest tool for the 928 owner.

Stan,
What MJ says is very true.
You're knowledge, wit, patience, and willingness to help is unparalleled.
You are one of the true Chieftains here.

Did you just call Stan a tool?
Kidding aside, +++1 on that.

So, is there some inception about an actual loaner toolbox? The O/Cs seems to have stalled...and the axxle puller thread is it's own little window on the twilight zone, last I checked.

I'd say BFH?? J/K. Tha'ts the boat..right... mean, Stan's alright online, but...



Good optics- (1) remote video/camera, and (2) real smoker machine are good instruments to have.

+1.
I, like many others I'm sure, really appreciate your presence on Rennlist.
Always willing to help with great advices.
Thank you so much.

I hope I'll have the chance to meet you again.

Now I need to follow Craig's (MainPorsche) recommendation and get some Liftbars.
Should have along time ago but...
Just notice this week that it is possible for me (and all others outside the US) to buy only the ends and build them myself! Great.

I'd love to have a set, however:

USA 78-86.0, ROW 78-85 (round jack points) (No Longer Available)

It doesn't say if this is temporary or forever.
