Compression tester (I stood on mine :( )
You still got mine?

No, for the 100th' time, it's in Tunnie's garage, from his Dad's 2.2 work  :P  ;D

Torx sockets - I have your small halfrauds rail. Sat in my toolbox doing nothing. I'll drop them over next time I come, if you don't need them urgently.
So, have you got my compression tester then ;D.  Sorry, where is it. Not sure you said ;P

No hurry for the torx rails.

Clarkes Creeper is good...it has little tool rests so you don't have to go in and out looking for stuff - cheap too.

I didn't see an Impact Driver anywhere on your list. they are FANTASTIC for getting siezed screws moving with less chance of them shearing.

 Impact drivers are fantastic, I agree. Ideal for brake disc bolts on Corsas...

 I've never liked using creepers - when you need to give a bolt enough of a turn that you can feel it in your left knacker, I end up launching myself across the garage. Fun, yes. Productive, no.

There's this bloke in the Nag's Head. He's selling tools off cheap. He's got a compression tester for £10. Sounds like a good deal to me. You can't miss him, he's about 14 stone and stinks of diesel.  :y
