Main Box is a Kobalt 42 inch I got on clearance a few years ago.

Did some minor repair to my dad’s old Craftsman 12 drawer top box. The bottom drawer has been dragging every time I open it because the body of the tool box was bent up causing the drawer to snag . So after about ten years of this , I got out my grand dad’s old body work tools and found the...

Changed motor mount, transmission mount, and torque mount in the spare car.

Resurrection an old thread Metric/Bit/Torx & Etorx on the left and SAE on the left

I recently went through all my sockets, ratchets, etc . I built up the main box, built up a metric roadside emergency box, organized the work box. Anything that was a duplicate tool got boxed up and taken to work to be distributed amongst the other tradesman . I have some sentimental tools but...

Plumbed up this contraption. I had an old Kobalt 30 gallon electric air compressor that quit on me years ago, my dad had bought me a better 30 gallon so I plumbed them together. I also had an old hydro jetter hose reel that I put an air hose on and put a regulator on the output side. Granted...

Replaced the oil pan in my daughter’s Chevy Trax. Gave me an excuse to head over to Harbor Freight and buy E Torx sockets. Thank goodness my wife saw the oil spot in the driveway and didn’t end up replacing an engine instead!

I recently found a snap on flathead screwdriver at a four way stop on the way to work. But I’ve also found a Japanese bayonet along the road , a snap on 3/8 drive impact swivel, snap on 1/4 drive ratchet still attached to snap on socket, Klein linesman pliers , etc.

Does a bayonet count as a tool? Many years ago I was walking in a creek bed while my friends fished( I’m not much of a fisherman) . I saw what I thought was a survey stake in the water and I kicked it . Turned out to be a Japanese Bayonet. Bent blade and missing the catch on handle but still a...

Took a squirrel cage fan/blower motor that I pulled out of a fan coil unit and made me a shop/garage/gym fan , now to see where I want to hang it.

I use Milwaukee organizers for screws, bolts, nuts, etc . So I followed the pattern with my plumbing fittings and electrical fittings. One organizer is just toilet parts ( china caps, closet bolts , tank to bowl gaskets , tank gasket, flappers,etc) One organizer is electrical fittings with...

My Grandads body work tools. The only tool that is marked is one body hammer that’s made by Herbrand . I’ve used them a few times but mostly I just keep them for the nostalgia. He went to trade school on the GI Bill at some point and he was given this along with a set of mechanics tools that...

I have two unknown era craftsman ratchet with a brass looking selector/release. I know the two black selector/quick release ones are late 90s era but in my quick google search I only see the black style and the plated metal style on v series . These two others almost look like the selector is...

There’s a local chain of pawn shops down here that have the best selection of used tools I’ve ever seen, although its a lot of sifting through no name import sockets, split/cracked USA made sockets . Not very many USA made wrenches. I probably spent an hour sorting and didn’t even get to the...

I’m going to have to check the shop again in a few weeks. I bought all the PowrKraft they had but there were a few Vlchek, Proto, and Williams wrenches. They also had more Craftsman sockets not a lot but mostly 12 point USA made . They had a 3/4 drive socket set with a massive ratcheting...
