So, now that the 064 thread is starting to wind down a little bit, I thought we should get a new hot topic started up.
For those amateurs (like I was a year or so ago) who are just getting started in saw repair, what are the list of tools that are must-have? How about a list, broken out into categories of 'Must Have', 'Intermediate', 'Advanced', and 'Saw Porting'?
I'll start it off. Here is my list that I would suggest to someone who wanted to do some tinkering on saws:
Must Have:
Metric sockets and wrenches (most people have at least some of these already)
Phillips and slotted screwdrivers
Assorted pliers
Mallet or dead-blow hammer
Drift punch
T-handle Allen and Torx wrenches
Vac/pressure tester (even an HF brake bleeder is better than nothing)
Rotary tool (Dremel or similar)
With the above list of tools, I've been able to repair and rebuild several saws, but I haven't had to split a crank or do a lot of bottom end work.
What say you guys? Am I missing some must-have tool? What tools could a beginner add to his arsenal to increase his capabilities without parting with a lot of coin?
