    Another "wtfizit" thread

    I'm thinking either a really old butter churn paddle, or possibly a brake pedal for one of those two wheeled one horse buggy's? :dunno: NEXT! :lol:

    #3 Stubby Phillips with a full size handle - Anyone make one?

    My Samurai's use a LOT of No. 3 Phillips screws, and they get torqued pretty good. Once out, they are usually not too bad to get out again, but you still need a GOOD driver. I'm setting up an abbreviated "road tool roll" with the basics, but I don't want to have a full size No. #3 driver in...

    Unexpected Button Battery Source

    My Digital calipers goes though batteries really fast (2-3 months each?) which is annoying to say the least. Last night I picked up a new LED dome light, and it had that "test it" feature. I knew it had a battery, but wasn't thinking about how they would get 12V to the device. Well there was...

    Yet Another Whatzit

    I picked this up last weekend partly to find out what it is for. I'm pretty sure its for aligning two pieces in the Vee's and adjusting them, possibly for a gap. The hex nut above the Vee's is likely to hols a scale but not a std 1/2 or 3/4" wide common steel scale. But what was it's specific...

    Huge Ratchet, Chevron ad...

    At least I think its a Chevron TV add. I've seen it a couple of times during ball games, behind some Chevron spokeswoman/supposed employee... Round head with an adapter on it, I believe 1" or 3/4" on the output Ratchet is huge! Maybe 1-1/2" drive? :dunno: Anyone else seen the ad? And can...

    Open end ratcheting wrenches...

    Sort of a love-hate relationship here at GJ it seems, but there are decent solutions as well. The one everyone loves to hate seems to be the plain open end with the notch in it. (Top in the pic) not useful for anything close to high torque, but seems to work for light use, within the 60 deg...

    Laser Tach?

    OK, I don't think I've ever asked this sort of question before: Who makes a decent laser tach that is NOT made in (red) china, and doesn't break the bank? :dunno: Google isn't a lot of help, nor is Amazon... :pimpflash

    How NOT to mount a wire wheel (or grinding wheel...)

    So I was dismounting a combined/stacked wire wheel and grinding stone off a small grinder I picked up free on Saturday. I hadn't really paid a lot of attention to it, until I went to unscrew the "nut" and discovered it was more than a nut... :spit: It was the remnant of a ****** screw on...

    Outlaw's Canedy Otto Royal 18 Drill Press

    OK, it’s been a month and I've barely had a chance to touch this puppy. (Life…) I picked this guy up off Craig’s List for “scrap price” (the PO’s words when I picked it up.) He’d picked it up on a “You want a drill press? Come get this thing out of my rental property” deal, and as he already...

    A couple of odd ratchets - Plvmb and ?

    Whatzit for #2 for today:

    This is a craftsman 1/2" drive square drive. probably modified but I guess it could be for something Craftsman sold.. :dunno: The far side (ignore the aluminum clip that was simply to hold it for the pic) has a ball detent on the right end. the pin appears to be tool steel at least, and yes...
