Some of my tools...

[wolf_from_wv]

I use a variety of tools and a variety of brands. If I use it all the time, it is at least Craftsman. My 15/32" socket was made in China.

Not sure what these are from. They were $1 each at a pawn shop.

1/2" drive tools

Screwdriver bits

Sparkplug tools

Spray stuff

A couple power tools

Lock installation tools

3/8" drive tools

1/4" drive tools

Brake tools

Test leads

Body tools

Quick disconnect tools

Tubing tools

Tackle box with electrical connectors

$3.99 Goodwill Rolling suitcase with bolts and screws

Craftsman/Gear Wrench pass-through socket set.

Analog/Digital trainer box

Bench Blocks

Trying to find a picture of the thin wall sockets I made on a lathe.

In the first picture, the wrench with the triangular shape in it, I have use it on a sleeve meatering pump on a diesel engine.

Man, I wish I was that organized.

Interesting At least for me that wrench came with my Craftsman table saw back in 82 it was used to take the nut off a 10inch saw blade on the craftsman table saw. But as someone pointed out it can be usefull for all different kind of projects!

Cool pics!!

I assume you do a little body work?

 

[wolf_from_wv]

I have an S10 and a Focus to keep on the road, so I do a little of everything. I also like doing that.

Computers, electronics, fishing reels, firearms, locks, rc cars, I'll try it...

I had trouble with deep well sockets fitting on computer cards, so I turned a set of 1/4" drive down on a lathe.

I have grown tired of not being able to find things. The phrase, "You have all this stuff, but can't find anything when you need it." gets old fast, too.

I also get asked to help with automotive/other problems, so having everything organized lets me grab it faster, and helps to ensure that it all comes back too.

In the storage box.

That's an interesting alternate use for it. Originally, it's a table saw arbor nut wrench, probably a Delta.

The third wrench down is also likely a saw arbor nut wrench.

The top one is a router collet wrench.

The silver-colored one might be a chain saw bar adjusting wrench.

 

[wolf_from_wv]

I bought them assuming they were power tool wrenches. The bottom one looks like it has a Sears power tool model number on it. They'll end up getting used for something.

I also have about 15GB of automotive repair information/videos. 2GB machine shop. 13GB gunsmithing. A GB or two of fishing reel diagrams. Plus all the print material...

Got any lock rekeying stuff?
I collect locks and I've got pin kits and all kinds of tools to go along with them.

 

[wolf_from_wv]

I've been trying to put together a pin kit and tool kit for kwikset and schlage - I did the Foley Belsaw course. Been pricing for the Johnny Cash method - one piece at a time, but shipping is too much that way.

Not sure how many are familiar but, I am the guy that had the GM 60 degree V6 and Varajet information on geocities. I'm still working on putting that information together. Ten years later, I still get an email periodically about it - even had an email from Australia.

Please tell me those are cardboard drawers from a cardboard toolbox. That would be AWESOME.

Hopefully you can see it but the nut in the middle of the 4 fittings (delivery ports)

 

[wolf_from_wv]

Sadly, no cardboard toolbox. I could probably make something with 2x4s, but I don't have the space.

Thin wall sockets turned down on lathe

 

[wolf_from_wv]

I blued the turned ends and wiped with silicon spray.

What do you use these sockets for?

 

[wolf_from_wv]

I use them mainly for stripping computer parts, rc vehicles, and light duty electronics stuff. I could have probably done with about 4 sizes, but found that making things on a lathe is fun. I could never seem to find a socket that would fit to take the RS232 screws off the computer cards - they were all too thick. I also turned most or all the chamfer off so they would work on really narrow nuts like audio jacks.

I did use the 7/16" one with my impact driver on some casters. I also used one on exhaust bolts because a regular size socket wouldn't fit.

I figure the blueing will wear with use.

 

[marcone]

Real nice! Computer stuff can be tricky to work on with regulat thick wall sockets.

What part of WV are you from? I'm in Putnam County.

 

[wolf_from_wv]

Harrison County

 

[Conductor562]

Welcome to GJ. There are a few of us here, but not a lot.

 

[jeffmoss26]

That is a great idea with the turned down sockets. I bought a really small metric socket for removing motherboard and d-sub standoffs. It's 'somewhere' in the box!

Not sure if you saw my post a few months back, but do you have any lock rekeying stuff?

 

[wolf_from_wv]

I haven't gotten any pins yet.

I just have picks/tension tools, a lock installation drilling jig, and a couple other basic tools.
