i had to buy .. u know .. just in case . and as i always say .. better =
safe than sorry.
LOL . i still remeber when i did the trany swap in the passat :)
so it happened that the MAC truck was rollin by and waved him down ... =
got myself 3 12 point sockets payed ad thanked him for savin my behing =
...
from that point on everything was smooth sailin ( had the car done in 4 =
hrs after that.. and by done i mean i was driving it around .. but also =
consider i had help )
as for the bearing press ( hydraulic press ) ..
my dad made one at work and already das a 20T hydraulic jack
it maybe as pretty .. but sure as hel it works great
Exaust pipe bender .. this i actuly bought u never know when u will need =
it ...
roll cages, exhausts, fences ( dont ask ) and so on ...
main thing : A GOOD LOCKING TOOL BOX !!!
my garage got boken into more times than my car got !!!
Last time they walked out with my diagnostic latop with the Vag-com and =
ODB 1/2 scanners my stand up campbell hausfeld compressor, brand new MAC =
tools torque wrench and some ther small items as a Bench drill and a =
bench grinder :mad:
now under way are the Jag, MB and BMW scanning tools ( laptop versions ) =
and also got a hold of the ODB scanners...
and now still tracking down a cheap VAG-COM .
as for the tools .. most of the are already replaced and some i even =
took the liberty to go a few models up :)

Sounds like you are set up very nicely. Have you considered a =
hydraulic press, about a 20-ton unit? They also come in very handy. =
I've noticed that when you need a press, there is not much else that you =
can substitute. On the other hand, except for possibly painting, =
anything you use pneumatic tools for can be done with an equivalent =
electric/manual tool.
Adrian's nice shop prompts this poll question:
What device is most useful in the home shop/garage?
(and state your reasoning)
welder (any type)
hydraulic press
air compressor
? (feel free to add your own favorite, but please avoid the =
basic/obvious candidates like "socket set" or "drill motor")

well ..
thats true ...
my current garage has 220V Dual Phase with 100A service in it :) ( =
soon upgarding to 600VA )
i sort of forgot that no everybody is as big f a car nut as i am ...
as long as i'm fooling around with ANY car im happy ( most of the =
time with H's from the store in other words a customers car )
but i have close to 20K in tools and which also include a nice =
collection of MAC tools and a 200A Miller MIG/TIG welder :)=20
( i dont want to pay someone to do simple stuff that i already know =
how to do ... and besides if i mess up theres no one else that i can =
blame )
all im missng right now ( and ghonna get really soon ;) ) is a =
Bridgeport and a Lathe / CNC
then Im gonna start makin custom parts for these lil toys of ours =
... like billet under drive pulleys, billet valve covers ( maybe with a =
lil custom engravin on top of them ), 2 piece aluminum flywheels, brake =
addapters ( if someone is willing to let me borrow theirs to "duplicate" =
the design )
and so on ..
