What Tools Are You Deprived / Short Of?

[winlinmac]

The days of creating a tool set are long gone, but along the way I've had to add a tool here and there depending on what was at hand. Ever since working on European Cars as a hobby, I noticed I was deprived of XZN Triple Square bits. Eventually, got a hold of them, and moving on. What tools are you short of? Wish-list anyone?

I could use a real floor jack and some better wood chisels.Actually the chisels are something that will be the be$t but I don't have a project to justify that sort of output.
They call them Ouchi not because they're Japanese. Because they're $140 a piece
OUCHI WAH WAH !

Nothing else fits"deprived" or short of.
I'm sure many on here would beg to disagree
I only have enough ratchets for one per week all year but not in each size

 

[bcradio]

Thats a lot of threads you started.

 

[zkling]

Floor space.

Who knows? I have assembled several sets of tools for different purposes, and no matter how much I try to have all the tools I need it seems like I always end up needing some sort of tool to do a job.

 

[gonmad54]

Specialty tools like oddball flywheel pullers and other engine tools and an actual shop area instead of a 2 car garage.

I would have purchased wood chisels from Nicholson this time around, but my Stanley's are holding up just fine for now.

Big difference between "Want" and "Need"

Vintage Stanley 750 chisels are regarded among the best ever. Stanley has started to re-manufacture 750s again as Stanley Sweetheart chisels. These apparently are not the exact same as the old 750s but they get high marks too.

Dreaming: A paint booth.
Reality: A drill press and some quality forstner bits.

I was just thinking this. Definitely not short of free time.

 

[winlinmac]

Was organizing tools in the workshop last several days, and lots of questions came to mind.

I need to outright scrap a whole generation of common hi wear tools. I could use about 3 new pair of number 9 and the same for dykes. I picked up a pair wouldn't cut a tie wrap the other day. Been using them since I was 19 and no matter how good they were just plain worn out.

 

[Boilerhouse]

A tool which produces more time.

 

[malykaii]

A lift. A ****** lift. They have us using jack stands and a creeper here. Rediculous.

 

[mach2mack]

10mm sockets. I loose them as fast as I buy them lol. And triple squares for VW's.

 

[drewvdw]

1/2 drive chrome sockets...I have all the impact sockets, so I don't feel the need for them.

 

[wvhillbillie]

Air tools.

 

[Parabellum]

Money for a 96" Snap On roller bottom and top

Pics?

I just spent days fitting/filling my new box to the setup and now i have spaces that i must fill immediately with new tools.

Immediately.

 

[wesst]

A Craftsman Professional 13/16" combo wrench with the "K" stamp. I am a simple man.

I don't think the OP will ever take pics, trolling is his business and business is good.

 

[K-Dog]

Clamps.
In collision repair you really can not have enough clamps.

 

[winlinmac]

I've taken plenty of pictures in the past, most recent were the Tekton Long Reach Pliers I had questions about

Every time l need a pair of pliers l go to my tool box, open "that" drawer and think, "You know, it's about time l invest in some good pliers."

My birthday is coming

 

[derosa]

I could really use a good workbench, something completely solid that would never move while planing and that will never rack under pressure.

 

[Backpack Hunter]

.....a cheap breaker bar....

 

[Hpozzuoli]

Always short of hands

 

[Finky198]

I could use another Tool Box. But most likely specialty wrenches is what I could use a lot more of I don't think I NEED them but it would def make life easier.

 

[anndel]

A 20 ton shop press, a Brannick Strut Spring Compresser.

 

[jgorm]

I'm short on the expensive stuff. Plasma cutter, lift, planer, lathe, slip roll, etc.

 

[Davefr]

I'd give just about anything for a set of full lens magnifying safety glasses that NEVER fog up even when wearing a dust mask.

 

[Rileysan]

Definitely time to replace the old 14.4V cordless drills. After 17 years, I think I've gotten my money's worth ...

[Superbec]

oh boy

1. cnc plasma table
2. sandblast cabinet
3. powdercoat oven
4. a lathe & mill
5. 5-600A ac/dc tig welder (blue)
6. motorcycle dyno
8. a midget car lift
9. all the rest of facom and hazet catalog I don't already have
10. money printer... oh wait that should be first on the list.

 

[djkeev]

I too have assembled a collection. There have honestly been times Impulled out a special tool, looked at it and thought...... "What is this for?"

I then google it, say ...... "Oh yeah! I remember now!" And promptly get out my P-Touch and label it.

Moral of the story....... Don't get old kids.

So yes, I'm lacking recollective brain function at times. A most important "tool".

.....a cheap breaker bar....

Cheap is a relative term; I offered this guy $40 for this /4" Wright 23" breaker bar and he took it
