    Angle wrench set

    service/pump wrenches. Martin has made them for years. Good for JIC and pipe thread fittings when a backing wrench is need and minimal space. Many applications for them but thats my use.

    Homemade Dodge differential carrier preload tool

    We welded an axle nut onto an old 13/16 spark plug socket and use a long extension. And when I would remove a chunk I would count off 2 rounds on each side so you are in the ballpark when you go back.

    The secret Santa Helper

    First of all I'm way more excited about my recipient's gift. He hasn't posted in reference to SS but I searched his posts and hope he can use these tools. Anything I receive will be appreciated. I'm not hard to please. I am an auto tech turned diesel tech a few years back. I won't turn my nose...
