Well with all the DIYs lately thought it might be a good time to get a list from fanatics of some great inexpensive tool finds that really make the job easier.

If possible post the tool, approximate price, and the DIY its helpful for.

I'll start with this from Harbor Frieght. T-bar Flexible Ratchet. Super helpful on the E46 starter removal and installation because of the hard to reach bolts. About $20 ($16 with 20% coupon).

looks like something you can use from above, to unscrew/screw in FCA inner ball joints.

this is the tool you want for doing the starter the first time. it helps so much and inexpensive. it’s like it was designed for the job’s angle, reach and torque requirements.

You've successfully used this tool? Looks like the firewall would get in the way since the head isn't flat on it like a wrench. But if it worked for you then awesome 👍

I followed ShopLifeTv's guide and used the 3/8 flex t bar that you can buy at Harbor Freight.

Took about 2 hours and endured some scrapes but definitely a DIYable job.

You will all remember the first day you use this tool for blind, firewall work:
