Found in the road today.

Post your “new” Craftsman wrench in this thread too.
Tools found in the road.

What kind of tools have you found in the road??

Don't know if a thread like this has been done, but I was wondering what kinds of tools you have found in the road over the years. My first one I think was years ago when I lived in Atlanta. I was working at an NTW ( now NTB). There was an access road to Peachtree Industrial blvd in front of the...

A week ago... I ordered a tripod and pole for my laser level. TODAY I added a BEAUTIFUL laser FINE CONTROLLED Mount for just about any laser level and pole. It's NICE.

Damn you Pines for leading me down the path of temptation. I was trying to do without that mount for a tile job, but now I am wavering.

You can never do a quality tile job without jt. The micro adjustments are the bomb.

I purchased a 5/8 adapter for this mount because my Johnson uses that larger thread.

Simple simple

 

[M635_Guy]

The kind of tool that once you have it, you can't believe how you survived without it. I use it for something almost every time in the shop.

I have several spread around in various parts of the garage and in my travel roll. Have also given a couple as gifts to good reviews

 

[PelicanPines]

I got TWO 16ga three foot extension cords. One to run my desk fan.

Motorcycle lift

 

[Madjik Man]

Nothing special. Had to get a new key ring and saw the Wiha Demagnetizer/Magnetizer on sale for $5.

Also picked up this cheap/simple magnetic stud finder because my garage and master suite above it are an ICF build. So the traditional stud finders are useless.

Did you buy that at the adult toy store?

Silicone tool tray

HF glove/tissue dispenser

Bought one to try out, will probably get more for garage cabinets.

Tool kit to keep in the wife’s truck. Will probably add more over time and inspiration. Not spending big money on tools to rust away in her truck unused. Already have jump starter, cables, rope, blankets and medic/blow out kit.

Oh wow,
You got the icon set … those around here are all sold out and you can’t order online either

 

[ScaryFatKidGT]

Koken mid length 1/2 impacts. From Amazon Japan via Tenso. I wanted some thinner impacts and these measure thinner than Capri, Tekton, Grey, Gearwrench, basically all the Taiwan guys, and Matco, MAC and SO.

Are these the 60mm ones?

Wait! Your Johnson what?

he replied already. Apparently his has some screw-ons instead of strap-ons.

Picked up the Knipex Raptor pliers for Christmas. Harbor Freight texted the wife a 20% coupon. So a trip to HF and pick up their parrot nose pliers.
Couldn’t waste the coupon

Been in stock at my local store pretty regularly. I’ve picked up 3 of them, one for work, home, and now the wife’s truck. Will probably pick up another for my personal truck, things have proven super handy already.

Now you have to buy a pair of Tekton Nut Jaw pliers to have the whole set.

They should have sent you to deflate that balloon. You stopped all the fun now.

SAE... 5/8"... not a single thing on my body can be suggested at a length or width measured as a fraction.

Those sets look pretty handy. I figured for the money I should pick 1 up. Now if a local store will just get them…

 

[Blind1]

Some made in USA action today.

My dad gave me one of those 3lb hammers when I bought my first house.

It’s seen some use but is still one of my go-tos.

The Fiskars hatchet? I believe it's made in Finland, so it must be metric? Pretty sure I got the last right-handed one that HD had in stock...

I have that same light and LOVE it. One suggestion would be to grab the twist on magnet for the 14.4 battery that Snap-on offers. It really makes this light very versatile and the magnet is quite strong to avoid easily bumping and having the light hit the floor.

Personally I don't care for the hook or hanging option and tossed it early on. I much prefer the magnetic battery base and use it often.

I do have the magnet and it´s awesome !!! All other lights with built in magnet are a joke compared to the Snap-On magnet !!!!!!





Lisle pliers. I dunno if i need them and for what.... but they were only 5 bucks .....and MUSA ! So i had to have them....

I have a lot of pliers... that I purchased for a specific task... and have rarely used them again. To be honest... let me know what you willl use those on... before I buy them just because it's GJ.

So I had a $10 off $20 coupon from Ace Hardware. I have a large and medium sized shower that I want to clean the **** out of.



I'm getting ready to go throw it in my drill until I read this.




Will I get better results with the drill or the impact?


Also any tips for soap scum removal? Bleach, vinegar, soft soap?

The big one is all tile the small one is tile, glass with a fiberglass tub.

Drill... Mr clean... Or foaming tub cleaner. Or just about anything you suggested but I would skip bleach... It will spray everywhere and you will become tiedyed

I'm in the market for an air hammer and don't care much for my options. I need one, but it's not something I use every day to spend Snap On or Astro Thor money on it. I also didn't want to buy HF.

Anyway, I had the parts guys order a CAT branded version (aka discount Snap On) for me on Friday. I don't have any bits for it yet or a job that needs one currently, but I played with it for a minute and seems like it will hit hard. It's also adjustable.

 

[Snapped-off]

New accessory to the other new tool I picked up today. I'll post that one tomorrow.

For how much CAT tools go for on eBay, should've ordered an extra to flip on there.

I haven't looked. We only had 1 local... Unfortunately as I've mentioned a time or two before, CAT tools are getting expensive.
