"cheapest" and "most reliable" seldom occur in one tool, don't get your hopes up.

Fine-nosed pliers, also known as needle-nose pliers, are a type of hand tool characterized by their long, thin jaws that taper to a point. They are designed for gripping, bending, and manipulating small objects in tight spaces, making them ideal for tasks like jewelry making, electronics work, and detailed craft projects. The precision tip allows for intricate work, while the gripping surface ensures a secure hold on small components.

It is a light carpenters hammer.

You need a 7 m Allen key for that year Cougar. -Of course that key is not commonly in Allen sets, so be prepared to buy one on it's own at a good tool store.

Allen wrenches are used to tighten and loosen Allen screws.

If they are self tapping screws, the drill bit is as thick as the solid barrel of the screw. If you want the screw to go through easily to have a nut on the other side, then the drill bit is slightly larger than thread size.

All bolts in any vehicle have specific torque ratings. -There are usually at least 35-50 specified torques for all the bolts. -You haven't said WHICH bolts you want the torque value for, so we can't answer. -Your best bet is to buy the specific manual for your car where all the torques will be written in one page.

You need to know clearance to adjust tappets accurately.

I've never seen one in many years of working with all kinds of tools - a screwdriver is JUST that.

It depends on the qeuality of the equipment. Novelty store cuffs can be bought for a few dollars. Professional-grade handcuffs can cost upwards of a hundred dollars.

It's a small hammer used in upholstery (before they had electric staplers ) One head is a round flat surface, about 3/4 " diameter and the other is the 'peen'.This is a flat short surface about 1/8 wide and 1/2" long meant for hitting small nails while you hold them.

So that bolts are tight enough .but not overtight, and so many close bolts can all be the same pressure.

No, it remains the same.

Most electric power tools as we know them were developed in WW2. They started becoming available for home use in the late 1940's.

You cannot chisel, saw or hammer with it.

That's a pretty big drill bit, -it drills a hole just a tad larger than 3 3/8 inch wide.

It's what north Americans call a bench vice. A fixed tool with one fixed face and another movable face that can grip and hold objects to be worked on.

For various reasons. Not adjust the milling machine. Sudden collision with the workpiece. Hard sex of the workpiece. High heat during cutting.

You use a torque wrench for tightening bolts to an exact pressure. This is particularly important in things where many bolts must all be the same tightness, such as cylinder heads in engines, and parts of transmissions.

Most 'plug in ' power tools are rated at 6-13 amps.

Most likely something around 12 mm or !/2 inch. Try slipping various wrenches on till you find the correct securely fitting one. This will broaden your knowledge of how to fix autos. - Oh, one other hint on removing hood hinges or latches. -They must go back in exactly the same position, so I always run a 'Sharpie' around the edge of the plate, to ensure correct re-fitting.

You can't, the sonic screwdriver isn't an actual screwdriver. It's a sonic alien one. ;)

On the show, the sonic screwdriver is basically a torch and makes no sound, they add the sound in later while editing.
