Got any cool tools lately?

[Polymath]

Soapy water and simple green concentrate. I've used other stuff and i'm sure there are other things that would work better, but I use simple green all the time in my garage so I have the concentrate handy and it's cheap. A gallon of concentrate goes a LONG way. The heat, soap, and vibrations are doing 90% of the work anyway.

For small parts, put them in a little baggie with the chemical mix of your choice and submerge that in the hot tank. No need to make a full tank of hot chemicals.

For the carb specifically, It'll need an immediate and very thorough air blasting to clear out all the passages from the sludge that accumulates in there. The tank loosens it all up but there will still be crud in all the little holes. Hit it with the compressor and then a can of cleaner as a finish.

I use a baggy for mine. I've not had problems getting any temp in mine though. Most of the time, mine actually overshoots the set temp.

Why I didn't think of this sooner, I don't know....
But this is amazingly handy lol

 

[JoshHefnerX]

Lights on the helmet... good idea. I'm always fighting to see when I get started.

 

[shady]

It's awesome for under the truck.
Or even trying to do intricate spots on body work.

I'm going to swap it out for a better one later, but this one worked great for the moment lol

I grabbed me a set of Snap-On scrapers last week, been wanting a set forever. These were about 40% cheaper than average but I think it was because of the gray handles. I don’t have anything gray nor have I ever seen this color so they’ll make a nice addition to my hard handle collection.

I gotta share with y’all about John’s hang-up on every single tool Snap-On has ever made with colored handles and his undying effort to obtain a set of each.

He has a damn fine set of tools of every kind but this intense need for these damn colored handles sets is just beyond my understanding - even though John was literally involved with saving my life recently I gotta start think’n about gett’n some new friends… well, maybe not but I do think that John needs some help !

but they’re pretty…

Can’t recall but if he doesn’t you just added to whatever it is that stirs up this obsession with in him.
Nut drivers are next !

Ooooo no, I don’t have any nut drivers but I like those brown handles (don’t have anything that color). Way back I had a set but they were older with square handles, I never used them so I traded them for other stuff.

I have that set, but my shanks have a loose fitting color coded insulating cover.

I also have the Metric set, but they all have black handles.

I only have the short one in red.
Never really cared for the longer blade scapers.
I have a very narrow long bladed Mac, that has it's uses. hard to reach narrow spots.
Only have red and black in box.
As for nut drivers have the old design clear yellow square with colored sleeve protector.

I don't actually have it yet.

Well, it's at my shop. Still not mine yet lol.

But my uncle and me have been talking about how we'd go about making this mine.
He bought it to start a business, and decided he's too old to start said business lol.

Not sure if I'm taking over payments, or what we're doing. But we're trying to make it so that I don't have to take a loan out, because I'm waiting to buy a house and don't want a loan hanging over me.

Got my fingers crossed lol.

Plus, my truck LOVES to tow it lol.

Nice. A dump trailer is very high on my list.

 

[fourwheelerjeff]

just more tools I have found as I have been unpacking boxes. I am starting to wonder if I have too many tools. wonder how old these are? still say "Made in USA" on the screwdrivers. I have 2 sets of them. I wonder how long ago Harbor Freight quit using this color scheme?
