Love those things. Couldn't imagine landscaping without that and an auger

Do electronics count as "power" tools?

There are several for me, but this is the only one I have a photo of on my phone. This is a surface burnisher, used to texture stainless steel sheet metal.

Looks like it's machining a sealing face on the end of a pipe.

Putting bevels on pipe to be welded. That specific end prep machine will do up to 36" pipe. Much faster then using the previous method of oxy/acetylene and a bevelling band.

i shoulda nabbed some pictures of some of the large lathes we used at the pipe foundry, talkin 25-30 ft long lathes that can chuck up 36"dia pipe.

never took pictures of a lot of the tools used there though, but one unique thing we used that wasn't sold, but was a staple.

this + this = hammer wrench

a 1-11/16 spud wrench with a 3 lbs hammer head welded onto the opposite side, it was the hammer wrench... used to make roller adjustments on these bad boys.

Always thought those crimpers would make a sweet tool for collecting money for the mob.
