Here is a list of tools of to work on your VW. This is not a complete list for overhauling or restoring your VW. Don't attempt to overhaul your transmission or engine, leave that to a professional automotive technician experienced in repairing Air Cooled VW. Reason, not every repair shop knows or has the tools, experience or knowledge needed to repair VW. If in doubt, ask them. More about auto shops in the Shop page. You can buy what is called a "mechanics" set of tools from Sears, Snap on, MAC, Cornwell, SK tools. This list is one in which you will want to buy the highest quality for a good price. But this is still a short list.

Below is a list of mechanics tools sets, but none of these sets are low priced. They will cost from $2500 to $10,000. The list is in no particular order. All of these have a lifetime warranty.

	Snap on: Master set number Stock 9200GMBO
	Sears Craftsman: set number 00933446000
	MAC tools: set number find a MAC tool dealer to order
	SK Tools: set number: 86036K

I did not mention Stanley for a reason. Stanley tools bought through Wal-Mart cannot be replaced on a single unit. The only way to replace a broken tool is to bring in the entire set and replace the set.

All other tool makers with a lifetime warranty will replace the broken tool with a single unit new tool.
