Garage Shop: Tools

In America, you install the printer, in Russia, printer installs you

 

wish we had these in our work tool boxes...I’ve asked a few times to get them added but no luck. I can think of a dozen ways it would save my knuckles and frustration

 

Last week, I was working on the headlight fender bolts and my hand got SHREDDED..it looked like I got attacked by a cat. Excited to get to use this little guy

 

Some of the areas we need to reach you can’t get a normal ratchet in a spot to where it will actually ratchet. If you use a wrench, your turning for what feels like hours because they’re also too long.

 

Figured this was the best place since we all like tools. Anyone know of a tstak mount similar to the pack outs to mount them in a truck bed and how strong are they? I use the clear lids one to hold all my tools and they just sit in the back seat with a ratchet strap. I’m reorganizing my bed and want to mount them in the bed but worried about the latches breaking and boxes flying out.
If I can’t find a mount for them I’ll just dril 4 holes in one and bolt it to the bed and leave that one in in

 

Perfect for those small 1/4" star and torx bits

 

We have these cute little ones in our tool box at work. Perfect for getting in tight spaces or where a minimal amount of torque is required.


Also, here is my buddies hand after actually getting attacked by his cat last week. Ended up having to get admitted and spend a night in the hospital over the weekend.

 

After re-reading your post I'm not sure these would work the way you want but I'm going to post them anyway

I saw those for the first time yesterday. It’s the right idea but looks like those use gravity to stay on the wall. Maybe with a latch of some sort to lock it in once it sits in that mount it’ll work. Easiest solution is probably to either get a few Milwaukee cases or just bolt one of the cases I have to the bed.

 

Holy smokes thats looks horrible

 

Those are nasty bites.

Quick story, I used to work with an adult population that was very aggressive, got bit on the job a couple of times. It was SOP to go to the ER for cleaning and shots. I’ll never forget an ER Doc telling me, “cat bites and human bites always get infected.” Could’ve been BS but I’ve taken it seriously ever since..

Glad your bud got it taken care of

 

Did you work at that nursing home for long??

 

Not a nursing home....

Behaviorally challenging, limited cognitive abilities. 5 or so years.

 

I was a NCO in the US Armed Forces too.

 

Lol

 

LMMFAO. Epic post.

Picked up a nice smaller set of 12v Bosch drill and impact set on sale for $75. Will be nice to have something smaller to use for taking apart interior shit and something that needs tighter space to get into. Couldn’t turn down that deal, and came with two batteries as well



Got one of those thread measuring things you see in hardware stores. Cant tell you how many times I’ve wanted to know size of a bolt where this would have come in handy. Mounted right behind the door to keep it from wasting any otherwise valuable wall space and to keep it from getting damaged.

 

Where you get that bolt board? There was a hardware store going out of business and everything was for sale. Tables, racks, counters, etc. I forgot to grab one when i had the chance.
