I've found that it is good to have an assortment of tools for working on trim and clips.

I have a 38 year old Miele washer and dryer set. I just replaced the tub dampeners and springs on the washer and it still works like when it was brand new. The dryer had a board go out that controls the drum reversing motor about 10 years ago. That is the only problem I have ever had with it...

Very nice restoration.

I've done about 30 Wilton vises and I always remove the pins and then tap the holes in the vise body and replace the pins with set screws. Sometimes the pins come out very easily and sometimes they are difficult.

Dykem cross check torque seal. It will also indicate if the fastener was moved after it was set to the proper torque.

Snapon will do it for a reasonable price. I don't have all the parts they do. I can fix some wrenches but not all of them.

I take them apart and clean and inspect everything. I replace broken or worn parts and then check the calibration and calibrate it if needed. Most of my torque wrenches are +/- 1% and all of them are +/- 2% from 20% to 100% of the range.

I buy old ones and broken ones to fix and restore all the time. I think I have about 80 Snapon torque wrenches right now. I'd take the wrench apart and clean and check the internals and recalibrate it if needed.

I finally broke down and bought a small lathe. I've wanted one for a long time.

Darex XT3000A. Does a beautiful job.

The CG503 puller had collets ranging from 1/4" to 5/8". The collets were numbered CG503-2 thru CG503-8.

Yes, the top left is a knife attachment and the top right is a cold gun, The bottom one is a unique design with multiple tiny holes around the circumference of the ring. It puts out a tremendous volume of air.

3 Kinki air guns that Frank (Frankstools) sent me to test out several years ago. These are all excellent blow guns.

These have worked well for me.

I have a Bosch 1584VS. It is a decent jigsaw but I haven't used it for many years. For metal I use my Fein ASte 638 and for every other material I use my Mafell P1cc. Bosch has never made any jigsaw that comes close to those two.

Intercomp fill, bleed and read digital air pressure gauge. 0-150 psi. Accurate to 0.1%. Can be recalibrated and recertified if necessary.

Looks like a knockoff of the Hazet 9070-10, or perhaps the maker produces it for Hazet also. They are slightly different though.

Until very recently torque wrench calibration specified a range of 20% to 100% of maximum torque value. Even if the scale went below 20% of maximum it was not guaranteed to be in calibration at those values. Recently the standard has changed and the torque wrench is required to be in...
