Not sure I would call it an implosion, but I use a dust deputy with a 6HP Craftsman wet/dry and a run-of-the-mill Home Depot orange 5 gallon bucket. The sides did collapse a bit but I cut a ring out of some scrap sheet goods to use temporarily until I get a better bucket. Works fine for now.

Akro or similar bins for small parts/hardware?

Found it! I’ve probably had these things 30 years or more and never put them together until today. Thanks GJ! Not that I’m likely to use it any more than I have to this point, but now I know what that oddball bit is and why that drive won’t hold anything else!! 😁 Flat blade screwdriver on one...

That's a great price... before we traded our Jeep GC I priced having the wheels done and quotes were closer to $450 per wheel. The GC wheels were two-tone, basically a dark charcoal in the hollows and what must have been a tinted clear on the flats, but I think I asked about just a single color...

I remember my dad having one of these! Probably still does I bet - neither of us will ever get rid of tools no matter how old or unused they are. LOL

Had to take a closer look - but it's definitely hex. There's a slot/channel for a ball detent I guess for bit retention so that explains the lack of magnet or something. I've honestly never paid that much attention to it - since I've had it it has always just lived quietly in the back of the...

Well upon further review - I've never bothered to even look before - the flexi driver thing is apparently a carburetor adjustment driver. See some pics on ebay and whatnot... K-D tools No. 130. I can't tell if the bits are specific to this driver maybe, I've always assumed there should be a...

Here’s my version of the adjustable box end, it was a gift - it still has the gift receipt from Sears in 2000 tapes to the back - I’ve never found a use for it (yet). Then there’s the flexi-hex bit driver. No idea where it came from to be honest, but the magnet that should hold the bit in place...

I don't know of anything specific, but they make those to plant in the yard around potentially abrasive things like retaining walls, you may be able to mod something like that to work. Or even a run of the mill pulley mounted to the wall or something. Then again in the spirit of GJ, maybe...

Didn't read all 18 pages so forgive me if I'm repeating someone, but there's a site homemadetools.net that is another interesting place to spend way too much time browsing around!

I almost always reach for the Channellock 526s, the Olympia pair at the bottom is nice and tight but the S-K set has gotten a little play in them… now that y’all made me get them out I should try to tighten them up a little!

^^^ this. This is what we do with our RV. Blow it out, RV antifreeze in the traps and call it good.

For some morbid reason, The Cask of Amontillado just came to mind.

🤷‍♂️ We have a similar setup - Beech Lane is the brand I think (bought on the Amazons and I mention their name b/c of good customer service experience we had with them). Two filters, one 5 micron and one .5 micron/carbon filter. We still run the Camco filter ahead of it which is 20 microns if...

May have to steal this one - nice work!

It's so you can put all the even numbers on one side and all the odd numbers on the other side. j/k - no idea but have wondered the same thing sometimes

I find myself reaching for the bit/driver set if I need that kind of screwdriver format, or the more traditional folding or long arm set otherwise.

I got a steal on DeWalt 264 pc set DWMT82835 that I put in the car or MH for roadtrips. It's kind of big and heavy and it looks like it's about $240 now so there may be better deals, especially if you don't want or need 1/2", 3/8" and 1/4" on the go all the time.

Super nice! I'd have been tempted to leave a little space to fill it with rebar and concrete depending on the road you live on. Might save you catching a charge later on if some miscreants get after it. And yeah, I'm half kidding - I think you can get it almost as much trouble for having a...
