Whats the one tool I need that I've forgotten?
I like to think i have pretty much everything i need for my Tiger build, however I've had to by a 41mm socket for the rear hub nuts and I am now
thinking there might be something else I'll need.
What tool can't you live without whilst building a 7?
cheers guys

Me!! I'm the biggest tool in the garage 
An angry grinder has got me out of many holes and if that fails a hammer.
I seem to 'need' new tools on regular occasions much to the confusion of Senior Management!

You need an immovable object to secure the rear hubs whilst removing the nuts. You also need some heat. The moon and fires of Mordor should about
cover it.

Small tub of conviction that you will finish it, large pot of elbow grease and a few more hours than you buget for.
Welder is a good call btw

Rivnut tool is awesome, others well worth investing in...hose clamp bendy screwdriver thing, good quality wire crumpets, soldering iron, vernier
calipers, angry grinder, welder, hub puller, ball joint splitter, probably more

Whatever tools you've got, you'll find that the one tool you haven't got will be required on a Sunday morning, halfway through a job
that you can't easily walk away from.

All the above.
I'd add in: decent wire stripper/snips, 1/8" adapter for a ratchet, funnel, quality screwdrivers.

Compressor and air-tools. Saves loads of time, and air-tools are dirt cheap compared to their cordless equivalent.
When all you have is a hammer, everything around you is a nail.

Ratchet Spanners toward the end of the build when things are getting cramped. I have some Lidl specials. They work great as long as you do the last
turn with a normal spanner. Great for when your upside down in the footwell!

A powerfile.
I found it to be invaluable.
It lasted me through the Tiger build and 3/4 of the Cobra build before finally dying on me last week (after best part of 10 years heavy use). Needless
to say I replaced it straight away.

As above - especially an air riveter!
Plus: decent head torch, trolley jack, axle stands, good quality cordless drill, right angle drill bit attachment, holesaw, jigsaw, avo meter and an
engine crane (used it many, many times, not just for engine!).
I used to be indecisive, but now I'm not so sure

Seconded, I thought it was going to be a nice optional extra, but I find I'm using it more than my angle grinder for general cleaning and
tidying. Has to be a proper B&D one though, and pay a little extra for good abrasives.

One of those magnets on a telescopic stick like a car aerial. Without one you can guarantee that most of the nuts and washers you drop will land in a
hole just out of reach. When you have one, everything that you drop will land within easy reach, saving you a load of time
