Hi all just wondered what everyones must have tools for general maintenance were. Specialist tools can be included as its all interesting to hear what people use on their bikes. Ive pretty much got most standard socket tools etc I know its all relative to the job In hand but there might be a few things I could learn/ or excuses to buy new toys :D

T-Handles (aka speed wrenches)
6-Tooth sockets and box end wrenches/spanners (put your 12-tooth away and never look for them again)
A set of ratcheting wrenches
1/4, 1/2 & 3/4 Torque Wrenches (if you can only get one, get the 3/8 drive)
Ratchet driven hex sockets
High quality screw drivers. Get all 3 size Phillips in a long length (more then 12" shafts). Long = better torque transfer
Air tools
Pony Clamps
Magnetic parts dish
A good folding or wheeled work table
A wheeled low height seat
Digital caliper
A well lit work space with drop down lighting and power outlets

That's my short list

I had a game stopper when i didnt have a 3/4" hex to torque the front axle with, also a 32mm (i think) socket to torque the rear.
Brake bleeder
Diy quad manometer to balance the throttle bodies
