We have a rule we like to follow when it comes to specialty tools. If you need to borrow it more than once, you probably need to buy the tool. Take it as an indication that you are doing this work so having that tool on hand is going to make the job easier and save you time. 

When it comes to specialty tools for a vintage Honda or any Japanese motorcycle, we like to group them into 2 categories: Essential Basics and Advanced. Essential basics are tools that you need to properly maintain the motorcycle you own. You will need these to perform the basic service intervals, change the oil, clean the oil filter, and other similar tasks. If your motorcycle isn't running, these are likely needed to get it running. 

Specialty tools we would consider essential basics are:

A torque wrench, carburetor float height gauge, feeler gauges, spark plug gap tool, spark plug socket, impact driver, CB175 / CB200 valve adjustment wrench, test light, JIS screwdrivers, snap ring pliers, carburetor synchronization kit, graduated cylinder, spoke wrench, tire levers, tire tamer, bead holder, valve stem removal tool, and valve stem fisher tool.
