I find that owning a micrometer while not a required tool for working on a FJ is very handy. The digital ones are very simple to use. You don't have to be a machinist. Even this old man has used his on the FJ. You don't have to buy a mitutoyo just a cheap harbor freight one works just fine. When I did my clutch mod I measured my clutch plates to make sure they were still in spec. I periodically measure my brake discs. It would be an absolute necessity for an engine rebuild.

A pistol is like a parachute, if you need one and don't have one you will never need one again.

If you take in account the cost of precision tools as mentioned it's cheaper to higher out the work as I did.
