Garage Shop: Tools

Nice that it's way easier to adjust.

But I can see it being really difficult if that nut was torqued down with an impact!

Yours is probably at the same setting now as mine's been since I got it.

 

This is most likely correct. Only mine has a lot more oil than yours now. AHAHHAAHAHA

 

But did you lube the exterior for rust prevention

 

Yes, the raw steel parts, I did. I pretty much succeeded in not getting lube on the belt and pulleys. There definitely was some Chinese fish oil coating on some parts

 

Flavored to taste

 

Works awesome

 

Here's my cheap ass home made "blowdown system" for the dryer condensate line (automatic) and the compressor drain (manual). It ain't stupid if it works LOL.

been looking for just tool only for awhile and have seen it priced $150 in past.
This is too good to pass up, I need a small 3/8” impact

 

Doing a number of tasks around the house this weekend, I was reminded how handy a shopvac is once you have one.

If anyone needs a Christmas list item, the Rigid 9gal kicks butt!

Agreed on the hardiness of them. I used mine three times on Sunday alone.

 

esp now that a lot of tool brands are making/including adapter plugs to create a impromptu dust collection system. Tried it on my jig saw and it was pretty neat.

 

Got a flat on one of the 4runners sitting in my driveway. Tried to air it back up and realized the valve stem is rotted and ripped. Picked up this AME tool so I don't have to break the bead to swap the stem.

 

How did it work?

 

I'm waiting to get done with work to give it a shot. I'll report back.

 

I didn’t have good luck with mine because the hole for my stems was not large enough to let the valve stem go all the way into the wheel. So it would have a gap where the funnel ended and the wheel started.

 

I didn't get to use the extraction tool since the rubber was so rotted when I pushed it in it essentially tore the valve backing in half. I was able to retrieve about a third of it with needle nose pliers prior to the rest of it dropping into the wheel it's a project truck so I'm not too concerned with it roaming around in there lol. The insertion tool worked like a champ and on the second attempt it seated well. Tire is holding air and back on the truck. I need to do one more that is rotted so I'll get another go with the extraction part.

 

Any ideas on what this thing is from? It looks familiar but I'm struggling to remember what it's for. Sharpie for scale

 

Looks like rod someone bent up.

Got plenty in the garage.

 

Probably me, it'll go in the drawer of pointy things until I remember
