Specialised Car maintenance tools: Where to get them?

[Jamesgetz]

does anyone know where to get tools which car workshops are using? in particular, looking for a T-handle nut driver. similar to the one shown in the link below but i'm looking for full metal ones like those found in car workshops.

have tried neighbour hardware shops and homeFIX DIY but they don't sell... wat they have are those plasticky ones with multi-head adaptors which are not strong and long enough

Check with Yeobh or see if his eBay store Ariestools have the tool. Bid for it at ebay.com.sg

 

Either you get his or get the 4 section pieces from Daiso.

Try alltools in lavender street. They sell top quality snap on products and I am pretty sure you can get one there.

[Unfazed]

Pls try looking in to www.facom.com under the automotive section & see if any tools of unique features catches your attention. It is a popular brand among french cars like Renault, Peugeot etc.

I need it to clean my MAF sensor. understand that some people recommend non-chlorinated brake cleaner but i don't really want to use a brake cleaner to clean my MAF if i can avoid it...

there's a seller driving a minivan filled with these tools gg around in sin ming autocare. yup, gg around sipping coffee and doing coffeetalk. does nothing just waiting for pple to ask him for a spanner or a something.

use carb cleaner

[Trex101]

No carb cleaner will leave a oily film which will kill the sensor faster. Best is use those plastic safe, residue free electro contact cleaner..

[Petrolhd]

Get some RS contact cleaner from RS. They are residual free and should clean all your sensors safely. They have a on line catalogue. google for RS components.

 

I have used it sucesfully to clean all my sensors with no problem.

[Jamesgetz]

brilliant... you are a man who knows to get specialised items.

 

is this contact cleaner you used? btw, does RS singapore sell just one bottle? thought they sell in huge quantities?

just to share, RS singapore does sell to end users so i managed to get a bottle. there's actually another cleaner (see below link) but it cost much more so i bought the one in my previous post. think both have the same features but the one below is non-flammable and meant for live contacts (which i don't need since the MAF will be taken out when cleaning) hence the higher price.

 

 

 

 

 

for those who can't see the link in my previous post, this is pic of the cleaner i bought:
