Welcome aboard!

Velkommen!

Be aware. This place is highly addictive and will make you buy lots of tools you 'need'. You're off to a good start...

 

[wchamberlain]

Welcome,

Nice start for a 19 year old on your own. As north stated it will become an addiction!!!!

 

[honcho]

I like how the white foam insert looks in the photographs like your tools are resting in snow.

 

[Thomas92]

Thanks guys . yeah now it's like the more you get the more you need

think there's something wrong with your screen: P it's actually gray

Hi there neighbor.

I finally see someone else who has a Hot Spot. I love that thing. I got some strange looks when I first pulled that thing out, but it has proven itself time after time.

 

[Hammer1963]

Welcome. You are so far ahead of most young guys I know on your Tool collection. Well done. Have fun on here and get used to being addicted to Tools for life !

Willkommen to the board & nice tool collection !

 

[JASTECH]

Howdy! Hope you decide to stay, we have plenty of room! Should you have a 12ton jack stand under that excavator?

 

[Butters]

Should you have a 12ton jack stand under that excavator?

I have to admit I was thinking the same thing! I know nothing about heavy equipment and maybe there's some safety device there in case of hydraulic failure. I'd hate to think there's only some small rubber fitting keeping that thing off my head

Welcome aboard Thomas!

P.S. I've never heard of those screwdrivers. Would be curious to see some more detailed pics. Are they nice?

 

[Packard V8]

Here's a hint. Become a dealer for Geilo and advertise them for sale here in the Classifieds. Some among us will pay any price to have something new and different.

[buco]

Welcome. Nice to see a young man your age interested in mechanics!

 

[gatewaysysop]

Welcome to the board, always nice to see something different and some tool variety, never have seen the Geilo screwdrivers before.

 

[billymade]

The small and big ratchets, breaker bars, look really cool... what brands are they and got some close up pics? Also, tell us more about these screwdrivers.... I tried searching for the brand but didn't find them...

I think you will enjoy this thread: "tools from the old world"

Welcome aboard,

Wow, what would I have given to have a toolbox like that at 19...!!
Very nice start indeed.... Have fun here and be prepared to be skint
for as long as you stay at GJ...

Cheers,
Rico.

Welcome, that Komatsu looks like fun, you don't get paid to play with it do you?

 

[FJ 432]

Welcome young man!

I have Norway on my list of places to see one day.

 

[BigAl62]

Welcome! You guys in Europe have it easy, everything is metric - only one set of sockets and wrenches required! Here in the US we need SAE (if you work on older stuff) and metric - 2 sets of sockets and wrenches, twice as much room taken up in your tool box!

 

[Thomas92]

thanks for all the answers 1/2 and 3/8 set is stahlwille
the big ratchet and breaker bar is also stahlwille. but 1/4 ratchet is just a cheap one since the small Sw ratchet is broken. I've got most of Stahlwille tools from my dad.

excavator is also my dads. So when I'm not in school work for my dad

I know that I maybe should have had a jack under the excavator but it's pretty good space under it so I had not been squeezed in case of hydraulic failure

I better get some more pictures today

have fun it is in Norwegian http://www.geiloverktoy.no/index-tab.asp

sorry for my bad English

 

[Scuderia-F1]

I have that same flashlight. It's freaking bright

after I got it I do not know what to do without it love it

 

[astrodoggie3000]

after I got it I do not know what to do without it love it

What is that red Hot Spot tool used for?

 

[Thomas92]

shrink tubing, soldering, heat small parts and much more, I think it's pretty important to have it in the toolbox

 

[JASTECH]

I too would like to visit Norway, maybe find a wife too! Looks like you farm seeing that tractor in the background.`

 

[Rocky snow]

Good start! I'm only 2 years into my tool addiction and my girlfriend is ready to kill be because of it lol.. Get ready to spend money! Looks good

 

[Krokodil]

Welcome to the forum! Very nice collection of tools!

What toolbox is that? I have a very similar one branded Kennedy of Cromwells in the UK. I still have to figure out who the OEM manufacturer is.

 

[Thomas92]

tractor we use to transport the excavator, equipment, shoveling snow and driving gravel loads

and the toolbox is made in Nederland

 

[dieselmike]

you scare me. would it kill you to throw some wood blocks under the tracks on that hoe??
