    Throwing Away Tools

    I keep a spot in my toolbox for old tools that I may be able to make something with. Like these cheap impact sockets... That I should have thrown away... but one day I decided I needed to make a couple drill chuck tools. They are 3/8" drive. Now I can use a 3/8" drive ratchet to tighten my drill...

    The Tool Swing

    Back in 2008... when I first launched this... I did a test, with the smaller single crank version (I offered at that time), with some leverage and a lot of weight added...it took over 4600Lbs... without any damage. I lost all of that footage over time (so I didn't want to mention it without any...

    The Tool Swing

    I would think a couple pieces of angle iron or some uni-strut welded to the front and rear under braces would be more than enough. Bolt it to those and you should be good to go.

    The Tool Swing

    One thing about The Tool Swing is.. You are adding more bench space. They never take up space on TOP of your workbench. Which could be argued as the most important space in many shops. Very good points but in the end.... room for more tools for you.

    Best practices to prevent tool loss - FOD

    Here's what I posted on the other thread: I haven't lost a lot of tools, but when I have, it's because of buddies putting them back away. Not where they're supposed to go. I then find my lost tool in a f'n drawer that's not even close. I now have a rule.... Anyone can grab any f'n tool they...
