Same business with a 22mm. Only this time i knew exactly where that was, so 30 seconds was 20. Apparently 22mm is also an oddball size, yet i have one too? Cant be too odd.
The amount of time wasted baffled me. Jobs not done.
Im used to getting **** done not tomfoolery or **** farting around. Its changing shocks and leaf springs, its a nut and bolt job. Yes safety first, but we have that, its the time wastery that does my head in.
I use to be quick once but have definitely slowed down these days due to my age, I still like tinkering on cars but more so at a leisurely pace.
Cut your brother some slack especially if he is older than you.

PS: I agree with you on the tools as I know exactly where everything is as they are sorted out in their place in my garage,

Cheers
