I love useful and good quality tools. I recently dropped a nut between the vee on my engine and it's gone behind a couple of bolt on parts & bracketry that really I don't want to remove, so I ordered this:

It's a 5.5mm borescope illuminated by six very bright LEDs. It's waterproof, records video, and is compatible with most smart phones. It comes with a magnet attachment that's going to save me a load of time. The best bit: it was only £9.02 delivered!
A couple of pics of me testing it over breakfast:

Here's the link for the borescope I bought: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/231818883406?_trksid=p20...
These are likely to be well known but I got my first set last week:

Fluid pipe clamps. The set contains a range of sizes suitable for brake pipes and the like up to the largest rad hose. I used a couple of them to swap a PAS cooler without loosing too much fluid (low side line so not a metal reinforced hose - they wouldn't work on those).
