DIY Servicing: Required tools

these bolt grips mate

reckon the local repco/sca/bunnings will sell them or do i need to go to an independent tool shop?

also, i assume they come in different sizes?

and how much for a set/kit/individual?


cheers bud

irwin makes them aswell i got a irwin 5 piece kit and cost me roughly 30bucks
pretty good and handy if u get stuck

i would say go to tool bunnings, burson, repco, autobarn and whoever and try get a good deal.

i think sidchrome and kincrome makes them too

Wow, that's a fair few replies for this late at night Thanks very much.

I'm looking on the sidchrome site and the 64 piece metric and AF set looks good. It goes for about $200 on ebay, let's hope repco have it cheaper at 50% off.

only selected bunnings have them from my experience. 10 sockets cost me ~$150

the link i had was done by irwin, i dont think ive seen them made by anyone else.

also dont forget that you get bunnings to beat any genuine quote by 10%

i reckon the costco ones are more than enough he wont be lifting the whole car up only 1 side of the car and front or back at a time

*imo* get a higher rating jack (3 ton is enough). dont want to cheap out on jacks.

You will also need a set of axle stands. again, good quality is the key here. I would also add a set of car ramps to the shopping list. nothing beats just driving up and having that height without all the dicking about.

yeh sorry my bad.
yeh the bolt grips are by irwin.
i think other brands will make them too but could be called something else in the fastening range?

bunnings, bursons, repco and so on... <----- for tool shopping and price comparisons

There is a good discussion on the costco $160 trolley jack here:

http://forum.jdmstyletuning.com/show...-COSTCO-JACKs&

It is actually made by arcan. Some guy has been buying out one of the costco stores and selling them on ebay, lol, see here:

On another note, i might buy myself the 3,000kg kincrome jack stands from east coast auto spares, they are pretty well priced and do not have a deep V at the top, they are nice and flat, see here:
