systems of British cars like, say, Tigers. All electrical tools can do this,

ALLEN WRENCH: for use on special bolts that are designed to be
rounded off on the _inside_.
BALL-JOINT SEPARATOR: Makes pairs of ventilating holes on
inner fenderwells of overheating British cars.
FLARE NUT WRENCH: to carefully protect the wrench flats on
brake bleeder screws during the process of stripping the threads on
brake cylinders.
MAGNET-ON-A-STICK: device for proving that beer can pull tabs
dropped inside an engine are indeed made of aluminum, and are thus
non-magnetic.
