Shop Time w/T.W. Friends

Meanwhile it's going to be 70° here today.

 

Good morning friends! Hope all is well and you all have a wonderful Weds.

 

One of the things in the MAC toolbox I bought Saturday was this 13 pc impact driver kit.




It had several broken bits, one was hung in the 1/4" adapter, I tried to get it out and gave up after breaking the bit.







There is a MAC truck near work on Tuesdays. He was there when I left yesterday so I stopped and showed it to him. He went to his box and got a brand new one and swapped out what was broken with mine, even the 1/4" adapter. No questions ask.

I told him the MAC guy I had been dealing with for years retired. He knew him, I figured he would.

 

You have all the luck with tools!

 

I'm blessed, what else can I say

 

I also have a broken MAC socket and screwdriver, he had to order those and will have them next week


I got the screwdriver on trade and not sure where the socket came from

 

Meanwhile, my Harbor Freight box is getting a little rickety

I do have a couple Snap-On tools. Mainly for when I was working VW's and a Mercedes in the mix. The cheap torx, inverted torx, and triple squares would round out stuff very easy.

 

I don't have many Snap-On tools. There were some in the box I bought, a few are broken, one of our customers is a Snap-On dealer. I've got the broke stuff in the car

My dad has a lot of Snap-On tools and a tool box he bought in the 1970's. The tools still look good and he, my brother, and I all used them. My brother and I have lost several of them when we were younger

 

It was 80 here yesterday.

Second week in a row we've gone from 80 to blizzard

 

80 to 20 like it saw a state trooper

 

Pretty much. Mother Nature musta got into the meth or something

 

Wtf

 

Good morning everyone

 

This is why we have a carbon monoxide alarm above our furnace/water heater. If anything isn't captured by the exhaust we oughta know.

 

That's what I'm saying too.

 

Jesus was a carpenter, he probably knows the value of good tools. Blessed!

 

Guy pulled in yesterday as I was leaving, boss went out to talk to him. He left this. Not sure why my boss took it in, I can't do much with this

 

I think I know that guy... he's from El Paso right? Him and his cousin Ernesto do good work.

 

make a jig, cut out the bad stuff, create some filler material, weld, weld, weld. Or just make one from some billet I guess?
What kinda pot metal is that?

 

Looks like rusty cast iron
