Custom/Hybrid What's in the toolbox for a build?

[baxt3r]

What tools are necessary, nice, or just not needed for a build? Accessories, too.

We've got the obvious with the sockets, wrenches, and torque wrench. What else do you consider a must-have for a complete build?

 

[Sparkplug]

Compressed air is a must for me. Or electric impacts and ratchets. I've done my share of hand wrenching and realized fast that good tools make more money and save more time.

Allen's, t handle socket wrenches, Allen sockets(metric), misc metric bolts

A dremel, compact impact driver, and compressed air are must-haves for me

This is awesome to have to get those hard to reach hose clamps. http://www.harborfreight.com/1-4-quarter-inch-stubby-swivel-head-ratchet-98667.html

An extra set of engine shims are always a good thing to have.

long extensions and wobbly/swivel extensions, for motor mounts etc

Elec tape, zip ties and a good pair of dikes go a long way.

Ice cold beer.

Is a Visa card a tool?

The Powerhouse crew of Zack, Trevor and myself to build the ultimate ski!!!

Grinded 12mm open end wrench for factory pipe manifold. Dewalt 3/8" impact gun with long extensions and swivel sockets. Flywheel lock. Torque wrench. Dremel. Compressed Air/Blow Gun. Flywheel puller. Im a mechanic by trade so I have everything, the dewalt cordless impact gun is a very nice tool to have. It's much larger than a mini air ratchet, but becomes very versatile with long extensions and swivel sockets. I use mine everyday at work.

A roll-a-round jetski stand. Ice cold beer. Painter tape: for pump alingment and to keep you from scratch the ski during motor install
