Tools that are worked hard

[mrpowderkeg]

Let's see your tools that are worked hard. Pops tends to put his tools away wet, here is a set of Industro Super socket set, large sockets. Mostly heavy industrial stuff. I don't think he ever wipes off his tools. Notice the breaker bar is bent. I remember as a kid, dad using a 10 foot cheater bar trying to get the bolts for a cutting edge loose, and having a heck of a time doing it.

I work all my tools hard including my trucks, but the first scratch is the hardest.

Yeah, the first one is a ***** but after that, I don't care.

 

[Az Scooter]

That doesn't count. It's a Dodge.

Is there a story here? That looks pretty bad.

I almost spit water all over my keyboard!

That should buff right out.

 

[arkangel06]

I treat all my tools like prom queens

The nice thing about driving a Dodge is that people move out of your way since they think that you have nothing to loose.

It got a little bumpy on a gravel road and ended up on its side with the box up against a tree.

That should buff right out.

What? How do you give your tools roofies and do awfull awfull things to them?

 

[Fudge]

I treat all my tools like prom queens

The Indestro Super's were excellent tools, that Super made all the difference in the world (not kidding).

Maybe some prankster swapped the "u" and "e" key on their keyboard, or simply done to annoy us.

Exactly

 

[Chadro]

Since starting my career down the diesel tech path, I'd say any tool used by truck/heavy equipment techs lol.

All my brand new tools are looking worn now that I've started work lol. I worked mostly on trailers starting out and I beat those poor tools to death.

Here are some of my Snappy hard handles that have been worked hard:

You know when you have that rusty bolt you have to hammer a socket on?Well usually I will put it on an extension if I have the room so I'm not hammering directly on the socket.This is the extension I've been using for a while now:

 

[Tim Cowan]

Caper, you need a brass head hammer.

 

[caper]

I have a couple of brass ones,plastic head ones,rubber mallets and dead blows too.They have their place but a cheap extension is expendable and then I can just grab whatever hammer is closest.

Don't have any pictures of any of my tools right now. But I used to work 3/8 drive deep 15mm sockets pretty hard. Broke a chrome Craftsman on a 3/8 impact. Then I started using impact sockets, started with a Williams that broke also but the Snap-on guy gave me a Snap-on to replace it. Broke 2 of the Snap-ons and also a Genius. All this within a year. The toughest socket I have has got to be a Wright 3/4 drive 1 1/2 impact socket. I would hammer on that thing so hard it would get hot enough that the wet rag used to keep it cool would sizzle every time I grabed it. When I get back in a few months I will take some pictures and post on here.

I have a cheapie extension that does that duty. Then I got caught short on extensions and had to grind the end and use it with a ratchet one day. Now it's back to it's regularly scheduled job.

 

[arkangel06]

Caper how could you do that to that poor poor red hard handle

 

[Indy_500]

That doesn't count. It's a Dodge.

haha that's a good one!

 

[Old Donn]

Again, they're tools, not Lennox Crystal. They're supposed to be worked hard. That's why they're made of forged steel.

 

[jayrush13]

all the tools in this bag are worked hard

I know some guys on here don't care for Kliens but that's mostly what i use and they hold up good in the field

They don't hold up so good against 120 Volts So that's why i have Craftsman Professional Strippers so if i blow them up i take them back for a free pair I'm on my 4th pair this go around for free

That poor hard handle is being used to make money.Plain and simple.At least it's nice and comfortable resting with those Bel Air screwdrivers when it's not being used.These ones are in better shape than the ones in my road box.
