Garage Shop: Tools

they might be a tad overkill. I have the wrench to remove those lids and it’s a little smaller. These pliers would def work for that task but might be easy to crush and deform the lid with the length of the handles. I also added a pair of regular scissors for size comparison to take any “small hand” factor out of the equation

yep that would suck haha

 

I have one, I get about 10 or so minutes on a 4.0 battery. That thing is awesome though, I highly recommend it.

 

here is one for the Milwaukee fans.....



Bit expensive, but it saves the shoulders. And it's fast too.

Will do lugs up to 600mcm in al 500mcm.in copper amd 477 in acsr

 

Not exclusively a Milwaukee fan, but that is a beast. I tend to buy and like their specialty tools. The first I bought 10+ years ago is their pipe cutter. Never will go manual again. Saws and drills and common tools I go DeWalt and others.

 

Here's my rolling tool cart's top box. the hanging box wrenches and sockets on rails are awesome, just grab n go. I own about 100 screwdrivers it seems, but can't ever bring myself to get rid of any.

Life in my shop is entirely metric. fractions are dumb

 

this isn't the current situation in the drawers, but it's ballpark close.

 

my 2 favorite tools in the shop: the homebrew CNC mill and the manual lathe.

 

I'm intrigued by your motorcycle (it looks like?) maintenance white board. Got a shot of that? I write stuff in a notebook and it's not the best option.

 

sorry for the bad backlight, but here's the gist of it. Bikes across the top and rows for maintenance.

i should have made a spot for "vitals" for each bike.

* oil filter size
* oil viscosity and capacity
* tire sizes
* the 5 key torque specs (oil drain plug, wheel/axle/pinch bolts, etc)

 

Nice, I dig it. I might copy that. Thanks!

this stuff made it super easy. you end up with like 1000 yards more than you want but for $10 who cares

 

After almost 2 months after I ordered it I finally got my new box for home. Now it’s time to sort out and organize all the tools out of my smaller boxes! Eventually I’m going to add the side cabinet and an end box to it also.

 

That’s the set up I’ve been eyeing, nice choice.

Some have swapped out the stationary casters with swivel for ease of movement. Perfect time is before it’s loaded if you were inclined..

 

A glimpse into how Nasa expects their boxes to be set up.

 

The 5S is strong here.

 

This pleases me.

 

I’ve thought about doing that. But not sure if I’m going to. This thing empty weighs almost 500lbs. I think once it’s in its spot I’m not going to move it once it’s filled haha. Somehow I managed to get this out of my Tacoma’s bed myself also.

 

With the 20% off HF coupon I’m really debating picking up a 72” top chest for my new box. Hmmmmmm

 

My wife and family got me a new torch for my tig machine as a early birthday gift.

 

well I bought it today, just need to wait for it to ship to the store now.
