A/C tool kit
I would like to have a packaged plastic case tool kit similar to some being
offered by Sears, Costco and others. However I don't need all the metrics offered by the others. I would like to have standard and deep 6pt. sockets in 1/4 drive and 3/8 drive sizes from 3/8 thru 3/4, combination wrenches(preferably ratchet wrenches)3/8 thru 3/4, 4 screwdrivers, small water pump pliers, small side cutter, and a small visegrip and real plus would be room for the safety wire pliers.. I have looked at various catalogs and can't find a non mixed sets. Anyone know of anything like this? -- Stuart Fields Experimental Helo magazine P. O.

I put a small 1/4" drive set in it along with a spark plug socket, a set of open end wrenches, a multibit screwdriver, and some vice grips. That gets me around most of the stuff I need to do if I'm away from the hangar, doesn't way much, and doesn't take up much room. |

To save weight--I went to the Good-Will store and selected a heavy canvas purse with stout straps--two zippered sides-(one for english, one for metric) wrap tools in wiping rags, can of WD-39 for lube & washing hands.--fits most anywhere--Anybody got any improvements on this?---Oh--purse was 98¢--got another in vinyl for car. |

Does the purse match your flight suit? You had to know someone would ask Dan, U.S. Air Force, retired |

, Yep, got a Bosche K-tronic fuel injection unit on it.All mechanical,except elect. fuel pump.--automatic correction for density (altitude) Are you really using K-jet on an airplane? That's great! I've been a big fan of K-jet after owning three Volvo 240s. The only thing that ever went catastrophically wrong with it was broken fuel pumps; everything else was gravity-powered reliable. I have a grudging respect for the LH-Jetronic 2.4 on my Volvo 740s, but it seem that every few weeks I have to chase down another obscure flash code. Thanks, Bob K. http://www.hpaircraft.com/hp-24 |

I was hoping to find one of the kits with pre-molded holes for the different
tools. It allows a quick scan at the end of a fixit project to make sure all tools are accounted for. I just don't want to carry around a bunch of metrics that I don't need in the field tool box for my Helicopter. Costco had a nice one but it was loaded with both kinds of sockets. -- Stuart Fields Experimental Helo magazine P. O.
