Interesting, totally different of what I had in my mind. I'm somehow familiar with steam turbines which are used in ships for propulsion and power. Gas turbines, I've seen only one on yacht when I was working as technician (not for them). Jet engines? I don't have clue about them. Although...

I'm interested to see how that valve looks. Power plant you say, so generator(s) is(are) driven by gas turbines?

In a short, you won't miss with neither of them. It's only matter of personal choice. At home I have knipex precision and like real tool polisher I have not used them yet. But I bought them because I thought noses are a bit longer than Gedore and profile look thinner so I can reach rings in...

Yesterday I had to fix espresso machine and I stumbled on torx with security pin. I don't have these tools so at first I thought I won't be able to open it. But since they are screwed into plastic, I tried with small screwdriver and managed to unscrew them all without problem. I think that I'll...

Didn't know that. From my perspective that looks very... hmm, harsh. Anyway, just for comparison. Several years ago, I was working as technician for marine diesel engines on yachts, which where mostly caterpillar, mtu, john deere, maybe few cummins. My employer provided all, car with tools...

This is what I was surprised when I joined GJ and realized that in America, employee needs to bring its own tools on the job. I'm from Croatia and in my country it was always employer who is providing tools for the worker. Not only tools but also working overall, shoes, gloves (if it's bigger...

"Crane hook" image search in Google gives some similar models, for example...

I'm currently maintaining MAN HIMSEN diesel generators and I have couple plugs on casings for oil filters that require larger hex keys. I don't remember now is it 14 or higher. Also on, these engines have some plugs that require custom 3/4 sockets which are something like 40mm. Didn't used them...

Hammer some wedge into split, lubricate shaft with something like WD40, use puller and hammer wheel from sides while puling it. I would try like that.

Sometimes I use zinc bars if I don't have brass at hand. It is just important that bar is from soft metal so it cannot damage steel parts.

Or pins that goes into holes, but when you apply force the handle can be slightly twisted and stetting changed. But that's why some models have such design where handle is free to rotate and does not affect setting.

Not so simple when you try to repair stainless steel bolts or bores, or smaller shaft threads.

Same thingy like one that wurth is selling. And since wurth is just rebranding it's probably same manufacturer. I was working with wera zyklop 1/2. Quality is good, it's just that I don't like these ratchets. I always think that it will unlock or slip and that I will hurt my hand.

Basic model is made from one piece , while precision have inserted tips. Precision have square profile, basic round. Also, they have two type of precision pliers, they differ in material of tips and in price.

Just browsing, prices are indeed atractive.

Well I'm not from USA so unfortunately those sources are not available for me. Interesting point with Wurth. I guess their screwdrivers are then from Taiwan where somebody is mimicking Felo style. Maybe it's good quality but Jure mentioned that he broke several PH2 screwdrivers on his job...

Are you saying that some Hazet tools are made in Slovenia?

Where did you bought them and what's the price? I see that Wurth is selling them under their name. So they are not so good? For what you use them, auto moto, something else?

It's just the way it goes. I usually screw bolt/nut with fingers, or I hold socket with fingers, or I press ratchet down with hand/fingers. Depends on the position of bolt/nut. Or other conditions. Like temperature in my field of work. Sometimes bolt is hot even trough gloves and I cannot screw...

These are pretty common on merchant ships. I love them, they are robust and heavy duty, long handles for extra torque and easy to put cheater pipe on. Spike used for aligning holes on pipe flanges. Ratchets come in variety of sizes.
