Vice grips

With all the suggestions, you may be looking for a rollcab to keep everything in

 

[Blobber]

A bit of PPE like gloves/glasses and masks is a good thing on rusty/crusty motors!

 

[Ross365]

feeler gauges, more ppe; face mask to stop all the rust going up his nose

Good call, bottle of optrex with eye wash bath for the bits that go around the glasses/goggles.

Funnily enough, I am giving him a rolling toolbox He didn't want the full thing but I suspect he will when he sees all the tools together!!

 

[rtcosic]

He will get all of my AF, Whitworth and BSF tools when we are finished

If he passes on the Whitworth/BSF stuff I'll throw my hat in the ring.
I gave all mine away years ago and treated myself to lots of new UNF/C stuff.
Then sold the 1960's Jaguar(s) and bought a '50's Alvis!

So I'll be up for swapsies.

 

[My Old Landy]

Some top suggestions there, thanks everyone. I have most of the items mentioned.
I will update after he picks everything up

Would have loved that lot when starting nice gesture, shows he is appreciated and you also think he is good enough to have some of your dads tools gifted, a really nice gesture on your part.
Couple of smaller BP hammers.

 

[Barking Mat]

One of those flexible shaft jubilee clip screwdrivers I find are life savers.

Ear defenders. Angry grinders et al are noisy machines.

Circlip pliers, thread file, multimeter.

 

[dobbslc]

That's a nice thing to do MOL.
A Haynes manual for the car would be handy for torque settings valve clearances etc, and maybe a tow rope

Don't forget your Centec is WW/BSF

I still have lots of British tools, as my Mrs pointed out, it has barely made a dent
Until you start routing through toolboxes, I think many of us have a surplus of hand tools!

Circlip pliers, thread file, multimeter.

The thread file is something I have spare, good call Pete
