Hi guys,

Just wondering what tools you guys have in your garage that you use. Links to Amazon are always great too! I'm also doing a brake job this weekend, so any tools would be helpful to get the job done!

Here is what i have:

 

Here is a guide I wrote some time ago for brakes:

jaghelp.com: Changing the front brake pads and rotors on your Jaguar X-type (2001 - 2005)

on the things needed at the top of the article you'll find a list with the tools needed

 

Luis, here is a list of what I would say you need to have handy:

-good set of open ended wrenches
-good assortment of screw drivers
-set of torx bits ranging T5 to T55
-set of allen wrenches in metric sizes up to 6mm
-breaker bar for large sockets (1/2" drive)
-star bar for wheel lug nuts
-miscellaneous pliers (channel locks, needle nose, lineman's pliers, etc)
-extendable probe with magnetic tip (trust me, you will love this tool for when you drop those bolts, another variation of it is a mini grabber which has 4 small hooks to grab things with)

I am sure there are other things, but other people will chime in.
