Tools by location thread

[Smokey Eddy]

I was thinking; i have a bunch of tools i had to either make or buy for a very rare job i'm likely to never do again. And i'd love to save someone near by a few bucks by lending them OR to cover costs have a by donation system.
I have the triple square bit for head bolts, i have studs, and the one for CV joints. I also have a clutch centering tool I'm not likely to use again...

So, have a thread in the FAQ that would just be a single post that would group members by area by having links to pages that are FOR that area and if you're in that area you would post in that thread what tools you had up for use.

so for example: in the north western thread i'd post my triple square, CV joint bit and clutch centering tool.  Perhaps even my aluminum post i made for removing valve keepers and what ever else i could find if this actually happened. Even if you're too far like say Calgary from Vancouver or Vancouver to Portland, it would be really cheap shipping to lend a tool.


just a thought.
Also, anyone near me (vancouver/lowermainland) I'd love to borrow a timing gauge for my injection pump!

I have the triple squares from 6 to 10mm. I do not know if the VWs use them but I also have a precombustion chamber collar removal tool I used with Mercedes IDI engines... though it needs to be rewelded (I lent it to a machine shop who managed to break it). I also have the tool to remove the idler pulley pin off one of those Mercedes engines. Might get a VW timing tool soon as a friend has a 85 Volvo turbodiesel wagon.
And loads of metric tools.
And a car dolly with a car that has towed a few cars.
