Tool kit

[emax]

What would the world do without Amazon

Buy at local stores and keep them alive.

Somewhere in the beginning of this thread there is also a picture of the tools, but this is what I got in my production car, and it isn't clear if the bag is Spanish or also the tools!

For wheels, battery, winch bumper, panel screws, cargo devider, and pliers for everything else. Seems to be the cheapest tools Ineos could find. I think they should have done better. Or they presume the Grenadier buyer has a complete toolkit at home anyway.
Thank you, Jean.

Thank you my friend ! NOthjnig wrong with spanish tools , Acesa makes some good tools , even made snap on eurotools undre lisence for a few moons. ( I know we all hoped for fancy german tools but i think this is good also ) Despite that i bet the majority of people already have tool boxes / rolls they will get in the car anyway on longer trips . I am a total tool snob but car companies everywhere have lowered the bar so much that even the inclusion of a " tool kit " makes me happy . ahhaha

One step up from a Gerber and Swiss Army Knife, except no tool for "taking a boy scout out of horses hooves"

More tools and looks much better than what Jeep and Bronco and New Defender come with.

Now that people are starting to get their Grenadiers, do we know yet what specific tools may be needed for maintenance of the Grenadier. I notice @DCPU mentioned size 30 + 40 star drives, it would be useful to compile a list of tools required that come outside the scope of the average tool set, such as over size sockets and spanners etc.

I should have added that there's a T40 key in the Ineos toolkit, why that one and not the T30 for the bumper wing ends, or the T25 to remove the wing air intake...:

Wheel nuts are 22mm (well at least the steel ones are). The wrench provided seems heavy duty enough for the task, but I find that style have a tendency to roll off the nuts when applying real force.

Thanks for that. Are they referred to as torx bits?
I may invest in a 1/2” impact nut driver. I already have Makita kit so probably will get a Makita 18v impact wrench to suit the batteries I already have. Do you have any clue what torque I would need

When you say referred to - where? It's what they are, albeit, I think there are subtle differences with tool heads, naming, etc.

What are you wanting an impact wrench for? Ones big enough to handle wheel nuts, chassis cross member nuts, etc, are quite expensive and will spend alot of time sat on a shelf/in a drawer. A long 1/2" breaker bar would be my first investment, if I was starting from nothing.

For the little things I bought this set:

For the other, bigger work I have a complete set of tools in my Defender and may transfer some to the Grenadier

I always seem to hurt my back with wheel nuts even with a breaker bar. Maybe I’ll try a longer one

I like the Wera tools

I like Wera - for impact driver bits especially they last and last.

A length of scaffold pole or some stainless steam pipe helps; although there will be times that this may cause catastrophic failure to the breaker bar bolt.

If you've already invested in the Makita 18v platform, then the DTW1002 would be my prime selection - with 1600Nm of nut-busting torque:

DTW1002 - Impact Wrench LXT®

I have a 6 sided long reach socket from Halfords onto a long handled torque wrench, no slippage. I just checked the manual for the torque setting and it says 160 NM or as near as dam it 120 ft lbs, which is lucky because that's what I tightened mine up to

Have yet to check my wheel nuts for torque - I'm still in shock at how small they look...closer to my Smart than the old Defender.

What are you using to undo them?

Long bar with an extension and same socket. I will change all the nuts to capped ones soon, I just have to source a better set of locking nuts to match. The Ineos ones are rubbish!

LOVE my Wera. It's an addiction. Here in the US, we have a few online stores located stateside (and also Amazon Germany, etc).

Anyhow, every year I get their advent calendar. Last year it sold out before I could snag one. Luck have it, I had a trip planned for Oktoberfest with travel also planned to Koln, Frankfurt, and Stuttgart. I was able to place an order on Amazon to have it shipped to my hotel in Frankfurt.

Great to know about the auto set.

Too bad we can't get stuff direct in the US from https://toolrebels.de/

Edit:. I checked thisset on the store, KC Tools on the Wera Automotive 1 set theirs is $125 vs. $90 Amazon Germany (both shipped to the US).

+1 for Wera
