Garage Shop: Tools

If anybody is in the market for some really handy pliers, this company makes several versions that are really good at what they do: remove small to medium bolts/screws with damaged heads. The tip is cut with a design that grips the outer rim of the head and bites in for good torsional grip.

This link is the lineman plier verson, but the small 6" pliers are awesome too.
Just search Amazon for "Vampliers" to see several variations.

I was doing really well !! No new tools bought all year ! These look like a really good item for working on older vehicles

 

They are. And lawnmowers, weedeaters, chainsaws, etc. My dad is more of a garage rat the me and can repair any small gasoline engine. I got him several pair over the last few years and he says they are one of his top tools.

I use mine proactively some times. Meaning a small undamaged phillips head that is so tight I know I am going to ruin it if I try to remove it, I'll grab these and try to break it loose.

 

One of my assistant engineers have these and thats all he uses.....

 

Thanks so much for the code. Got an assortment of metric Allen wrench drivers, from .7mm to 4mm. Already have a few of their screwdrivers.

And the code is still good til the 15th

Love that set. Just hate the tray. Its an odd size so doesnt really fit anywhere

 

It gave me pause. But me OCD...

So much conflict.

 

So what did you do with them?

 

Holy shit that set is huge.

 

You better go with this one, because I have a feeling you, like me, will notice shafts that are out of line with the hanging rack.

I clicked the link and immediately saw the drivers that weren’t parallel with the ones around it and I can’t get it out of my head.

 

This ought to be fun to open when it arrives:

That was after I deleted like 5 things.

 

Its just in one of my drawers in the toolbox right now. I had some other precision stuff to toss in with it. Annoys me but not much I car to do with it now

 

Ah. I didn't go recheck measurements on my drawers, but seemed like a doable fit. In the end, cant justify the set for my needs, so I got a small trial set in the canvas wrap, and then lots of other things I really wish I had or needed upgrade/replacement.

 

My setup at work

 

Nice. I had a roll cart. Didn’t use it much since I’m on one bay all the time. Or the bay next to me. So just my snappy box for now

 

I like the design of that stool. Got any info?
