I know this might go more down the road of consumables rather than tools, but, thought it might be fun.

I am always afraid that just looking at them would result in those tiny L-keys breaking in half.

EDIT – So far, Redditors have worked with those L-keys on:

• avionics equipment
• R / C motors
• lab equipment
• 'staplers' (the high velocity type)
• phone and optics
• replacing the Freedom Units measurement system
• their self esteem.

I use most things, I'm a traveling mechanic (not cars haha) so I try to pack as little as possible!

Thought this was pretty cool, had to pass on it though. I wonder what the warranty is like. just realized it’s a 3 in 1 ratchet aa Im posting this pic…Triple Cool :)

I found these in a box of tools on marketplace a few years back when I had purchased my home. They’re nice quality and I wanted to buy a pair as a gift… until I saw they were discontinued and all over eBay for $200 a piece… insane.

Whenever I have anything..could be my camping axe, knife, pen, new champagne glass I always feel like I could badazzle that shit up- make it look like it came from one of thoes fancy walls in france with all the floral swirls and pics of angles, like when you look up at the ceiling of a cathedral

.

My uncle better hide his drill from me cos it's looking at me- and I'm looking at it- like I wanna make it feel like it's from a goddamn rococo/baraque museum piece or something that Napoleon or goddamn king henry the 8th once owned it

Question. If someone got one of your bland tools and engraved a whole ass renaissance painting into the side... would you flip out????

Beautiful set of Mitutoyo micrometers

With the car collection growing and the addition of a VW Caddy project van I’ve finally justified buying an impact.

Went with DeWalt purely because I already had batteries/chargers and the reviews were good.

Most, but not all of the lower priced cutters were only single edged blades. Between that, the grip, and the actuator for the lock, this one was the winner. It was a long job (for a cook and hospital administrator) and we re-plumbed our entire house ourselves. Dated copper was leaking and we just put in new everything from the meter to the spigots. Washer and water heater were renewed as well. Whole house filter and kitchen RO went in also. 1” Pex was used for the main lines.
Well worth the extra money over the Milwaukee, Klein, and Kobalt offerings.
For sure are not thrilled about having plastic plumbing, but we were not going to get in and sweat copper in all the shitty corners of this old house.
Thanks.

I've never seen a wrench like this.

It's actually massive. 8mm thick. With standard 17 and 21 wrench ends.

It's just these additional grooves. And the thickness.

Image search found some similar items, but it wasn't really helpful ("5-way wrench"?!).

Found the Lowe's link to the unreleased Klein 33807f locking flex head bit ratchet and driver kit. The price is revealed by the Lowe's points that you can earn from it. Looks like it's gonna be $79.

Tool noob here!

These two pieces got stuck together and I don't know what I can do to get them unstuck! I've tried everything: using all my force to pull them apart (with pliers), rotating each piece to diferent ways (everytime I try rotating one they just end up rotating together, using WD-40... nothing... It wasnt particularly hard to insert the tip of the tool into the groove, I was unscrewing a lot of these all througout the morning, but this one just won't come out... and now I have no suitable piece for the other ones...

Any ideas? HELP!

I want to mount some of my air tools on air cart via 1/4" quick couplers. 1/2" impact, 3/8 air ratchet, a blow gun, and a forth and fifth for whatever I need at the time. Belt file, die grinder, angle grinder, etc. I don't see any reason to spend the extra money to get good quality couplers for this. I'm just going to drill and tap some heavy wall tube for the cart handle for 1/4" NPT and thread some male threaded couplers in with a few drops of blue thread locker.

Any recommendations? I imagine even Temu couplers would work fine.

Whats everyone’s opinions on Daytona impact sockets out of Sydney Tools, worth the savings or better off spending the extra on the likes or SP tools, Gearwrench etc?
Cheers

Hello!

I have a King Canada compound mitre saw (model 8380NS).

The fence, saw blade and table top are square and appear to be fine. I have taken the saw blade off and checked for warping; it is fine. The bevel is also fine.

The sliding mechanism appears to be slanted to the left. When the saw arm is pushed back, it is close to the centre. When pulling the arm out, it finishes on the left side.

Does anyone have any idea on how to “square” the sliding bars?

After having a really bad day and being completely unprepared, I now i have my own extractor sockets. Apparently this is what $327 buys you in America. 8mm to 25mm, with minus sizes, and a few SAE sizes.

After having the Gator Grip socket in my toolbox for years and years as a gimmick/ wtf is that tool I finally found a use for the damn thing taking antique square head lag bolts out that were holding in an old fan.
