A large bucket and the 4ltr drums of wd40 to soak b4 using force .

A lathe  and a Ac/ Dc tig welder..... with both of these you are capable of fixing most things in house.

A Shed.

Most definitely not required tools       pissed mates                                        then again most of the sober ones too......

Two little tools that make life better:
A spring puller for exhaust springs (little hook with handle)
A cable oiler. (Alloy and rubber thingy that clamps onto cables {throttle/brake/clutch} and the nozzel from brake cleaner can will fit in*. Then the nozzle of lube. {"Triflow" is my lube of choice)*Brake cleaner not required on new/clean cables.

I also love my "spoke torque wrench".
I have so many sets of wheels it's good to be able to run around quickly and check every nipple is free (I back them a bit if they don't move when torqueing), and correctly torqued.

I've just discovered putting a plastic bag over a disc with elastic bands (on bikes so equipped) before spraying spokes/nipples with inox reduces life's dramas.

Clutch holding tool.

I have 1. Husqvarna tool kit supplied spring puller= excellent

cable oiler = excellent

and a original pommy spoke tool which I have used for yonks.

it repaired my kdx 250 rim which presented me with 10 spoke nipples in the bottom of the tyre after a puncture followed by a 5km ride flat to get a tube. ive never seen a wheel self destruct like that before or since...

Mine is a Fasst (2 S's)co non adjustable kit with 12 heads
It's set to 48 inch pounds.
I probably paid a fortune for it. Had it for 10 years, no complaints.

A cheaper option, currently displaying as "sold out"

My OCD would probably cause me to look at an adjustable one if I needed a replacement. Not sure why, or what I'd change it too.

Genuine Husky spring puller is the shizbs but dam expensive.

Look for sales at hospitals I have purchased two small stainless steel benches for less than $100
