Porsche centre lock removal tool, or basically a torque multiplier, even after all these years being a mechanic I still get a buzz from a new tool. This will fit any car or application needed for a little more ommpph

Bought me some surface transforms so this will come in handy. I have to admit I bought this in error thinking it was the Hytorq impact gun 😩

The scaff bar I have does the trick but on a road trip it’s a bit tricky to get in the car

Have a mate who bought something similar but it has a battery drill on the end.. think he paid £3 or £4k for it.. Pretty cool for changing centre lock wheels.
 
I had to look it up to see what it actually was and how it worked.
 
I’m all for unsprung weight reduction - but it does make me laugh how you save a few grams on a wheel nut and then carry around half a tonne of tools around just in case you get a puncture.
Centre locks on a road car is daft at the best of times but Porsche have to take it one step further to over complicate the system, constantly changing tightening procedures and now serious failures.
Someone should invent a wheel that gets held on by 5 small bolts… :-/
 
I'm with you on the car toys Carl.

I'm not a mechanic but bought the TPMS Setup tool....and a VagCOM diagnostics kit, and it give some great pleasure checking out the ECU's data!! lol

Yeah, I had been considering the Hytorc tool but considering I will be changing wheels at most twice a year it seems like a lot of money to me ...

 
Why did I read this thread title and assumed sex toy?
