It’s not exactly a functional tool, but was really cool. Has a motor in it that opens and closes the jaws and the handle spins round. Unfortunately, I had to sell it two years ago, but I sold it to someone I know with a large collection of commercial displays and advertising.
6’6” solid aluminum tools. Got them from a bankrupt wannabe electric car company for scrap price. Haven’t found a use for them, but I’m still looking.
My older brother talked me into buying this on a black Friday sale. I’m glad he did. I’ve used it to start this four-cylinder diesel multiple times in the cold, plus a few cars at work on the same charge.
Designed and made this 1.5" round die holder. Inspired by Starrett tap handles, the die is held by a pin in the handle that sets/retracts with the threaded cap.
Garage-made, manual machines. Mill and lathe. Center is 4140, handles are 416 stainless.
I’m barely a weekender DIY-er but went for the toolgrid setup. I love how clean it looks, but those YouTube videos warning you that you’ll spend 6-7 hours on it were not joking.
Anyone tried these yet
And my wallet breathes a deep sigh of relief 🙏 Well, until I buy my tool chest 😅
It’s coming along… The more tools I buy the more I need. Lmao
Looking for ideas/setups for my box, specifically sockets organizers that don’t look like trash. Would go with toolbox widgets but 12 for 20$ doesn’t seem worth it to me.
Hello 👋🏽
Does any one have any that they really like? That I don’t have, not talking about brands but styles.
Getting a larger toolbox tomorrow so before this drawer is reorganized and moved into the bigger one, I thought I'd share it as a before the after photo.
Got this thing on a crazy deal, has one scratch on the back and my dealer knocked off almost half the price. Now to get it organized and filled
My OCD really likes these SJW organizers, and there’s very minimal wasted space in a 30” cart drawer.
I friggin love this vise. Had it about a year now and even though it's huge it's works great for small projects too. And yes I added the white paint to it.
Anybody else using them and if so, have you found any other uses besides normal vise uses?
Did anyone else grow up liking (atomic) purple because of the Gameboy Color or is it just me?
Induction heat tool instead of a torch. Totally changing the stuck bolt game.
