I prefer Crapsman.
"Proper" tool bags are for show and are useless, but they go well with flops and bunny ears. Admins, please move this thread to the CWeenie Foreskin. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif) |

I agree with slits. I have a book bag style backpack in my car and a rough neck tool bag in greatpumpkins car. they have real tools.
Although, last time I broke the fan belt on the 3.2, I still had to call for a tow because the parts were so damn hot I couldnt get everthing changed on the side of the road. |

The one on the right is more appropriate for your car. The pulley wrench will fit, and you don't need the tool for adjusting the hand brake shoes.

Dudes.....I'm serious as a heart attack. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/KMA.gif)
I'm doing a CW 70 914/6. I just bought the 911 bag to fill in my gaps. The stuff I don't use goes up for sale....... I did a 58 A, two years ago....Ray Mital's buddy's old ride. Swore I'd never do it again.....but I lie a lot. But can you say "stoopid old men with money?" Ye of little faith. Won't be in time for this year's SB PCA Whine and Cheese.....but hey, Pebble Beach? Could you see bunny or Mickey ears, Hawaiian shirt, flip flops, shorts and a 914/6? Hey, IT COULD HAPPEN........

Mikey uses that tool to pry his head out of his ass. It's an ABSOLUTE necessity in his bag. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) |

Looks like you don't have the "duck bill" flat screwdriver.

To me having the Porsche tool bag and tools is part of the classic car feeling. Maybe because most cars, especially recent ones do not come with any, whereas, exotic cars, like Ferraris, always have. It is also like having the original window sticker and owners manual. Part of the feel of the car if that makes any sense. Are they actually useful as tools? For some simple things. I was at an autocross and some dudes flying turtle green 914 was running very rich. All he had was the original tool set. We used the spark plug wrench and removed and cleaned the plugs. He was able to complete the autocross and took top time of the day. OK, top time of the day for 914s and he had the only 914. John |

The tool bag spark plug socket is the best tool available for r/r plugs on air cooled Porsches. Try it if you haven't. It is the right length, no need for extensions and you don't ever leave a socket or a plug in the hole.

Yep...the spark plug wrench is THE shit....which is why I started this thread.
The ONE red driver is -/+r eversible which I've never seen. Since the two original drivers seeem to garner the most bucks and are mostly obtanium.....the extra tools will be sold off to pay for THAT crack habit.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/slap.gif) |
