Got any cool tools lately?

[nvrenuf]

Browsing a Northern Tool store today and picked me up some Channellock oil filter pliers today, looking forward to seeing how they work.

Small = 9”, fitS 1.75”-3.0“ dia filters
Medium = 12” angled head, fits 2.5”-3.75” dia filters

They had some 15” pliers but they were HUGE, no need for them.

Got a N05 and N06 nut tool. Think 14ff hub socket, sized for industrial retainers

Not me but my kid has been killing it! I think hes got 20k invested in the last year.
Latest big purchase was this Masterseries SnapOn box...It was used and got for a good deal from his Matco dealer.

Didn't buy it recently, but used it recently and was reminded how handy it is.

Holey uptown. Guess I'll just shade tree it up with my big screwdriver.

Yeah, I don't remember paying that much, but maybe they've gone up. Or I bought it with a bunch of other even more expensive stuff and didn't notice.

that's OK for a flexplate when you can slide it through a hole.

I actually had one of those that was a homemade handme down. The "arm" was welded solid so it didn't work super great. I suppose that's why I said "had" as it wasn't worth keeping track of over the years and I have no idea what happened to it.

I do think that tools is worth $20. Not like it's a 1 use only type of thing.

I try to buy new tools when I do projects. I use the project to justify the expense.
Maybe the next time I do an engine I'll "justify" one of those.

As for cool chit. I haven't really gotten anything lately.

Pretty sure that's when I bought mine; what's $20 when you're buying a $1000 EFI. I like to say tools are an investment.

My wife told me I was a Horder this weekend. I told her tools can't count as a hord..... So she would have to redact the statement. She proceeded to tell me I'm a tool horder as well.
I'm ok with it.

WE found a pair of ancient ice tongs at the junkyard in a old step van,we modified the tips to work on a flywheel ,it worked but was cumbersome and most of the engines we needed to turn over needed a long crowbar after they started getting rust in the cylinders..
