pockets snakes Posted October 21, 2014 Author Share Posted October 21, 2014 Well that's a lot lol I'll have a look at snap on for some of the tools I love the life time warranty But we're to get a job lot of screw and washer and nuts ?With out sounding thick what's is the difference I'm blue or red threadlock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shdaxner Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Red is for permanent applications blue is for non permanent....basically red is bleeding hard to get out and you would generally round a screw before being able to remove it whereas blue can be removed just tougher than normal. I get my screws/washers/nuts from my local "bolt and nut" store...or you can get most from eBay for good prices. A general idea of what sizes you need and it doesnt take much to get the majority of what you need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pockets snakes Posted October 21, 2014 Author Share Posted October 21, 2014 What's the tape of or. Also the shoe glue Sorry really dumb now this were it shows I'm a real noob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shdaxner Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Gorilla tape? Basically any variety of duck tape....black nasty or whatever you want to call it. Shoe goo is very similar to silicon sealant in a little tube but can be used for a wide variety of jobs and always comes in handy, modelsport sell it too.

turtletom100 Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 The threadlock I use is green? What's this one then? Lol Depending what car I would recommend offset screwdrivers. rtv silicone heat resistant for selling nitro engines, Spare shims if needed. I know washers were said but also o rings for likes of hsn/lsn as they do rot and/or crack up if over tightened. Not a necessity but a switch, for the sake of a couple quid it's better to have one as that is what turns the electrics in and off on a nitro would suck with out one. (I had to replace mine and had to wait the weekend for a replacement) also I think shoe goo as people calling it is shoo goo (I may be wrong) but it will also fill minor cracks in the shells to stop them getting bigger and ruining your shell.

turtletom100 Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 I'm not to sure about the wiper arms flywheel puller but certainly can get a flywheel puller looks like an arch with a thread that comes down and also a triple clutch shoe remover.

Noj Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 A pair of lighters. Even if you don't smoke, someone at the bash site will, and in the event of a Clipper failure, you can come to their aid A packet of rizla, because you just never know who may need one, and, if getting bored, you can play the rizla game with friends Gitagrip paste, a nice, slightly coarse substance which, when applied to a hex driver tip, can be the difference between getting a rounding hex out or not. Superglue and activator A small, portable, heated vat and a bottle of oil, because someone, somewhere, is always in need of a boiling. I'd ditch the craft knife for a Stanley and a pack of many blades.. Associated green slime, because it coats o'rings and prevents leakages. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
