Here's what I made to tighten the engine prop nut <tool>.
Common tools used during construction and maintenance.
Metric Allen wrenchs - 1.5, 2, 2.5 and 3mm tip sizes.
Philips screwdriver - #1 and #2 (actually the screws on this helicopter are JIS - Japanese Industrial Standard) If you can get the JIS screw drivers that works better but are not required.
10mm socket wrench for 30/50 engine fan nuts
8mm socket wrench for glow plugs
wire cutters
blue loctite
CA glue
ball link pliers - try to get the ones with the bent nose that are thin. The thick nose type ones are difficult get in behind some of the links.
snap ring pliers
