Who's Got The Bigest Tool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[autoace]

Just for a change, I'll momentarily pause my anti-Asian tool campaign on the pro trucks for something fun. What have you bought, that you will probably never use; because, you just had to have it. I bought the JUMBO sets of Harbor Freight combination wrenches and ajustables just because I didn't have any. I would never buy these through Snap-on; because, I don't use them. But I didn't have any 2 1/2in. combo wrenches soo....Sometimes when a buddy asks for a 9/16 I hand him a 2", good for a laugh. I actually use my 1" drive sockets on the press sometimes. I can't help it, if I see a tool I don't have, I make a note to get it. These are the unusual rare times, my guard goes down for a "novelty" tool. Tim Allen/Home Improvement style. I will be able to post pic. as soon as I get a new digital camera. :bounce:My wife says, oh no, another tool. I say better than another woman, cheaper too!:bounce:

AutoAce; I think it is about time you posted pics of your tool collection; if you haven't already! Have you?

[speed bump]

36" Ridgid pipe wrench, I couldn't say no at $12.50.

If you want to get technical its my F-250 but I don't think thats what your looking for.

It's not a hand tool, and it is Asian, but it's fun to work with and gets the job done.

I need to replace my digital camera, my 3 year old thought it could Swim!!!!!I have 9 tool boxes full of tools, I sold my big MAC box on ebay, so they are all in Crafsman boxes right now etc. I will post some pics once I get a new camera, I cannot get one this week because I owe the tool truck etc. too much money. I am rebuilding after selling off my MAC stash,had real bad luck with MAC as a company. From Hazet to Freightster it's all in there, Plus specialty tools for Audi timing belts..etc..infinity always adding. Thanks for all your references:)

[autoace]

P.S.when I say nine boxes, that means 9 full size boxes, roll cab, int. and chest =1 etc. How about a SO mr.big, in my dreams:bounce:

It looks like you have yet to use it.. I also have a Kubota, but it is your tractors little brother... This was taken when I picked it up a few years ago... You will have to click on the green box to see the image. Don't know why it isn't showing.. Must be a software issue..

I bought my brother a large combination wrench as a gag gift. I think it was 2-3/8", from Northern Tools. Every time I go to his place I like to mess around with it just to feel the weight of it.

From post #4 :3" socket, 2 1/2" drive

The socket is next to my SO LV70 3/4 drive ratchet head for comparison.

In all truth I never needed anything near this big. I just thought is was too cool not to get it. I usually use it as a drink holder.

I figured I had everyone covered and was going to post a pic. Until my wife pointed out that I was using a metric ruler...

No pics, used to have a 6" socket we made out of 1" plate for some farm equipment.

[eschoendorff]

I have 16" Channellocks and a 24" Chinese HF adjustable wrench. That's about as big as I get over here - and even then I very rarely use them. The HF wrench is mostly just for show... it looks kinda cool from a distance.

I posted the link to this auction before in another thread.
6-1/8" socket (1-1/2" drive)

Apparently it is still available, and IIRC the price went up significantly
http://cgi.ebay.com/Williams-6-Point-Impact-Socket-6-1-8-with-1-1-2-Drive_W0QQitemZ130261832406QQcmdZViewItem?hash=ite m130261832406&_trkparms=72%3A543%7C39%3A1%7C66%3A4%7C65%3A12%7C2 40%3A1318&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14

It's hard to appreciate the size from the picts.

What I really want to see in person is the Williams 8" socket (also 1-1/2" drive), part number 8-6256
