Many of my engine tools are offered in kits as well as individually. Why? I sell more tools that way and you get a better price. Its that simple. The kits are packaged with one thing in mind - trying to combine the specialty tools that needed for typical jobs. Below are a couple of simple graphs to help.

Krikit KR-1 Belt Tension Tester - This tool can be used to confirm tension on all of the 944 & 951 cam belts (83 thru 86) models only. It is used by many Porsche enthusiasts as an alternative to Porsche's tool P9201.
9244 Roller Wrench - This thin wrench (27 mm) is a substitute for Porsche's flat wrench P9244 and is needed to set the cam and balance belt tension. This is a specially designed thin-wrench and will fit the more commonly seen 27 mm rollers. It and the other hand tools seen here are black oxide coated and sealed with a Mil-Std metal coating - this same process is used by many gun makers. Note: Please compare this wrench closely to that of my competitor's. Mine are NOT re-cut bicycle wrenches - the offset and thickness are critical to ease of use. Also, some of the very early models of the 944 used a 24mm roller, for the most part these smaller rollers have disappeared but occasionally one turns up.
9200 Combo Pin Wrench - this tool is needed to remove and install the balance shaft gears. This wrench (sometimes known as a "locking bar") is made of solid steel, and features welded stainless steel pins. This tool is the only available here, see this page for more info.
Flywheel Lock - Removing and installing the crankshaft bolt & lower pulleys/cogs can be impossible without a flywheel lock. This tools is fit and strength tested to over 200 ft-lbs and includes the needed hardware (to be used with your starter's mounting bolts). This lock is not compatible with 968s that have the dual mass flywheel/clutch but will work for 968 with the auto trans.
Here is a view of which tools are used on the different areas of the engine. Note this image is typical of the 86 and older models. 87 and newer engines are slightly different.
