    Flare nut Line wrenches

    How rusty? You might be better cutting them off and just using a new fitting, if you have the kit needed to flare the line. Usualy saves messing about. I have and use the below (best liked first) Gedore Stahlwille Snap-ons (set with the combo ends) Toptuls SK's They all work, the gedore's fit...

    Can somebody educate me on Common Whitworyh Sizes

    I worked on an old landrover once. I dont know how they managed it, but it had a mix of metric, imperial and whitworth fasteners. Also the components were made of cheese and rounded at the first glimpse of a spanner. Never, ever again.

    New Wera 4:1 turbo screwdriver

    If you have the space for it usually you have the space for a 1/4" impact with a bit holder. Nice idea, but i'm not paying that for a screwdriver.

    Hyped Up Tools That Disappointed You

    It's not the shape for me, its the price to quality ratio. They don't fit any better than my cheaper (pro) sets, and dont seem any more durable.

    Oil change on cold engine

    Nonsense, If the engine would suffer damage from being started with an empty filter then the engineers who built the car would design the filter in such a way that it was able to be filled before installation.

    Oil change on cold engine

    Back in the dark ages it helped the oil drain quicker since it improved the flow. Now though it makes no difference. I extract the oil, and have no issue with a warm or cold engine.

    Facom

    Excellent stuff, i havent had a bad thing from them. If you're in the UK search Primetools on ebay. They're an official dealer, buy from them and everything has a lifetime warranty (mostly). The ratchet spanners they make are the best out there imo.

    M12 3/8 ratchet

    I only use my electric ratchet in the cab. Hate it otherwise, far too bulky. I'd choose the small astro impact ratchet over it any day.
