To avoid damaging the pinch welds on the sills of my car, I made up some adapters using 2x1 structural timber, that I cut a channel into deep enough so the pinch weld doesn't touch it, so the "uprights" of the block make from contact with the reinforced section of the sill either side of the...

Not seen one of these before, usually it's a van

Snagged the BBQ set from a chap on a Facebook group last week (having just bought a new BBQ - not an Epiq!! - I thought why not!) and the ice cream scoop and pizza cutter where a little eBay score on Friday. The bottle opener my sister bought me for xmas last year, which is why it's not matching red

Picked up some bargain 18v power tools a few days ago. Over here (the UK) we have a discount brand supermarket called Lidl, a German company, that every week puts on one-day-only special deals on certain products. Thursday just gone was "Full Power Day" (or something like that) where a variety...

I see lots of general mechanics, diesel techs, farm and plant, on here, but don't think I've seen any dedicated glass techs.

So I just received two orange hard handles (the blades in them aren't SO) with a view to removing the blades and keeping the handles (original thought was to remove the black hard handles from my two trim lifter tools and swap them over) Not having a vice and trying to avoid damaging the...

I have an old KRA59 box in my van, and had to remove the lid and front flap as there isn't space to open and close it in there. The box is nicely bolted down and doesn't move, but of course there's nothing holding the drawers shut, so the open while driving. Fortunately the don't open all the...

I've got a long shank from a GearWrench (actually sold over here as a "Halfords" branded model, but it's made by GearWrench and the same as this - http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0002SR8NC/?tag=atomicindus08-20) that I use in my SO ratchet screwdriver (very snug fit, but works), and using it...

Quite chuffed with myself with this one. I bought this collection of SO bits from eBay; All I wanted from it was the A161B trim tool. The other bits are a PH2 screwdriver, a 1/4" hand driver, T40 and T45 3/8" sockets, and a 9/16" flexy socket (also 3/8" drive). Price paid £26 delivered...

This one; I like the look of this - I don't have a flex head ratchet, and I think the offset would/could come in handy getting over deep ridged scuttles I'm encountering more and more these days. I generally use a semi deep 13mm socket, and I do find from time to time I need a bit extra depth...

Still want more storage in my van - I have a KRA59 which has been awesome for the last ten years, but I need to expand, however I only have limited space in which to do it. I've already had to remove the lid and front flap from the box as there is nowhere near the room to use it, and I could...

Out of production/discontinued tools? I could do with a Phillips #4 screwdriver, ideally with a bolster on it, but the types that would match what I have are both discontinued :( I'd either want a Facom Ergotwist AZPH.4X200 - like this but obviously #4; Or a Snap On one, ideally with this...

Just watched this rather amusing video - But I do have a genuine question - on the top there's a pair of identical top boxes (one has the lid removed), as seen here; Does anyone know what model that is? It's very similar to mine (a KRA59K) but with a third row of three drawers, and no front...

Hi, I'm Matt, a windscreen fitter from the UK, and tool-aholic :thumbup: I'm not so much the "garage-y" type, as my work is 100% mobile these days - I was the resident fitter at my branch for a while, but had to go back on the streets for the money :bounce: Been doing it coming up to 11 years...
