Garage Shop: Tools

Here's a super cheap tool that I don't know how I lived without. If you have had to put split loom on a long section of wiring, you know the frustration and thumb pain. This literally makes it as easy as using a zipper.

One of those "there has to be a better way" Google searches. I do a lot of split looming, and for a few bucks I have saved hours and hours of time.

 

Never saw or even thought of something like that .

Nice to have on those long trailer wiring projects.

 

No no. If you save a $1000 on wheel bearings then you can afford the roof rack! I have done all my own work on the truck, and saved thousands and thousands of dollars.

Which has allowed me to buy fun things for the truck.

 

Those are fun bucks. They help your truck get more smiles to the gallon.

 

The above is for the Canadian version, for those lower in latitude....( and we pay less....)

Finished up the worktable today; got the top attached, bootleg opener and power strip attached:

 

I've always thought there has to be a tool for this, but I always forget until the next time I have my thumb jammed in that shit.

 

Holy shit, added to the list.

 

I was doing so good I am trying to not buy more tools I wonder if I can keep from looking at this thread

 

You can always block it

 

Both my M12 soldering iron and rotary tool came in today. Really loving both. So glad I picked Milwaukee when I switched from DeWalt. Haven’t had a bad buy yet, and the ecosystem has damn near everything anybody could need in so many trades and industries.

Used my M12 cutoff wheel at work today, one day I’ll buy the angled die grinder!

 

I got in the new

$40 Wireless Endoscope, DEPSTECH Upgrade 5.0MP HD Inspection Camera, Scope Camera with Light,16" Focal Distance,16.5FT Semi-Rigid Snake Waterproof Borescope,2200mAh Battery for iPhone & Android-Yellow

borescope today. 5mp and having wifi is so much better. You can place the phone or tablet where it's convenient and it doesn't move around with the scope.

 

I saw a mention of a hook end and a magnetic tip. Does it come with those or are those bought separately?

 

I added the hook and magnet set and the case to my order, it turns out it came with a set so now I have two sets.

 

They came with my DEPSTECH.

 

Came with the Nidage unit I bought also.

 

Thanks guys, you just cost me more money.

 

You know what time it is...

 

Well... when you guys talked about the Milwaukee vacuums I told myself I didn't need one. Home depot sent me a 15% off coupon for any online order today and I decided I did need one... https://www.homedepot.com/p/Milwauk...H-_-V1_M1_CA-_-Product_URL&ecc_ord=WJ18541259
