A selection of big think pieces of timber about a yard long. Great substitute for a garage lift and for small people to stand on when working under the bonnet.

Also useful trip hazard for the wife when she comes in during hours of darkness. 2014 5.0 Supercharged Autobiography & 2015 3.0SDV6 HSE Lux Discovery 4

Scotland 2011 Range Rover Vogue SE TDV8 Santorini Black

Home made large T bar, made from 2 pieces of scaffolding pipe welded into a T.

The top of the T has a 3/4 inch drive adapter welded in one end and the other end has an old Land Rover wheel nut socket.

The handle is about 3 feet long and when dealing with tight wheel nuts the other end of the T can be supported by a extra jack.

Forget the adjustable - If you want one emergency tool for undoing nuts and bolts, you need one of these.
