The proper tools are not difficult to source as shown in posts above , and last a life time , I have sockets etc from my first tool kit which I started to assemble 53 years go ,I have been on the tools right up to retirement and still service /repair my own toy [ mx5 ], I did not mean to upset any one but obviously have and apologise but still think there is to much bull on here
Appreciate the thought and all, but we don't all have the benefit of 53 years of toolkit assembly to save us from the occasional 'bodge'.Can't really see what's "bull" about getting a job done with a bit of a compromise, but each to his own and all.
If a hand on a standard length allen key won't budge something, a drill won't either. You really do need a proper impact driver really - for allen bolts on calipers etc one which you whack with a hammer can be quite effective.
Useful for whizzing nuts on/off, but that's about the limit really.
