Compact Wera Bit Kit…

I should probably search TGJ before posting this as I’m sure someone has already spoke on this set, but I’m on the road and don’t have great internet access at the moment. In any case, a friend of mine just pulled one of these kits out of his travel bag and I was pretty impressed with the contents – super compact and pretty high quality. It’s on sale on Amazon right now, but I bet the couponers out there can find an even better deal. Details. See Comments on the forum.

Toolbox Widget

I got an email inquiring about advertising the other day from the makers of something called the Toolbox widget. Ever appreciative of the support, I decided to feature their product today.

You can get yours here. Note: This is not a sponsored post. I paid full price for this thing and thought I would just pass along my thoughts. See Comments on …

OneTIMES Tool Equal Space Divider

I got to play with one of these things the other day and meant to feature it then, but forgot… In any case, it’s essentially a really expensive and incredibly well made tool that does something you can do with a $5 ruler without too much trouble. BUT, I still want one. Details. See Comments on the forum.

Hollow Punch Set

Hollow punch sets are one of those deals that you don’t need all that often, but when you do – they are invaluable. A couple of years back, I had a leather project I was working on and I bought a cheap set from Harbor Freight. It was worthless. The steel was so damned cheap that you couldn’t get the punches to hold an edge at all. This week I’ve been working on the old Silver Streak trailer and needed to make a bunch of rubber gaskets for all of the tail and running lights. Rather than deal with the …
