I was thinking the other day about what tools I have found useful in the garage (aside from the obvious sockets and spanners) - and which I didnt use much before the build.

My list of invaluable kit is :

1) China graph pencils - black and white
2) A plastic caliper - I think this was a freebie in some magazine years ago and I use it all the time for measuring drills and rivets, hole sizes etc (I've also got a battery powered one but the battery keeps going flat)
3) A set of metric thread guages
4) The Sealey auto probe - mentioned in one of my posts (v useful)

Anyone else like to mention their favourite (garage !) tool?
