Also, Wal-Mart has some Stanley ratchets and sockets sets for cheap and the
Stanley stuff is not to bad for imported. I have a set of their metric allen
sockets that seem to fit very well and are very useful on the Goose. Most of
my other tools are Craftsman and a few Thorsen and Powercraft (Wards). If
the open end wrenches get too cheap they start rounding off nuts and bolts
and knuckles. Good Luck.

| Jason, Sorry to hear about your tools theft. It's like a piece of your identity gone. Anyway, I bought an all metric set from Sears #933191 for between $60 - $100, can't remember the exact price. This set will give you enough tools to really get started and you can build upon it very easily. Came in a |
| blow-mold case. Bob ----- Original Message ----- From: Jason <jstal-@hbk.com> To: <Loopfram-@topica.com> Sent: Thursday, August 22, 2002 2:18 PM Subject: Tools for Guzzi Restoration I know this question is a little off topic for this list, but I believe |

My goal is to get a quality set of tools at a reasonable price that I will hopefully keep forever. I have looked at several of the Sears sets which seem nice but include a lot of tools I will probably never use. I do not know weather to go with a complete package set or buy smaller sets of sockets, wrenches, ect... Any input on this would be greatly appreciated. |
