I found out that Czech made King Tony are a good price/quality compromise.
We also have Metrinch tools here as well as SnapOn, but I feel I'm not
quite up to the price :)

Now looking for a really good spring compressor, strut job on my VW Golf is up next.

Surprisingly, the roads in and around Moscow have been really upgraded, so
no more need for an SUV. Moreover, on my road trip to Finland last August I
found that to get from Moscow to St.Petersburg and then to the border, you
don't need an SUV either :) I sold my Lada Niva and bought a second hand
Volkswagen. It's a cool little car with 1,4l 60 hp petrol motor, very
economic and nevertheless fast enough for city use. Some minor repairs, and
it will be as good as new. I'll junk the whole suspension, put in
poliurethane mounts, Koni shocks and forged alloy wheels as I usually do
with all my cars, and am going to enjoy (I hope) driving the first foreign
car in my life (not counting rentals).
