Default What do i need guys?

Ok all you experinced wrenches. I am a blue collar worker and i know my way around tools and such. I have a torque wrench and the set of torx bits and allen head bits. Besides a motorcycle lift, what should i invest in as far as tools or such to do my service maintenance. Share your experince and wisdom.

I have used my stubby open end wrenches, also a hand impact for the fork drain screws is a nice to have..... A nut driver for the heat shields comes in handy... A cheap rolling pedestal table to place tools and that service manual your going to buy....

I recently purchase a Kendon Cruiser lift.. I am loving it! Best part is that it stands up for storage so it isn't lot of dead weight laying around.

I have an assortment of hand tools, wrenches ,sockets, ratchets and such. The Kendon bike lift sounds interesting. Got a link for it?

thanks for the link. I like the idea of standing it up for storage purposes.
