So I just got a sweet new tool from my grandfather

[Blaze]

Now what to do with it. My mind runs wild.

I was up helping him move stuff from the cabin he just sold down to his house. He had a ton of tools he didn't want, so we were loading them into my truck so I could have them.

We were all done and about to leave and he pointed at a big box in the corner of the shop and said there was a hydraulic tubing bender in it. It looks like it has barely been used, he told me to take it, he didn't want it anymore!

It'll bend up to 2" tubing. He said he used it to bend some things for his bulldozer.

Can't wait to play with this stuff.

Oh, he also gave me a bunch of 3/4" drive sockets, ratchets, breakers, and big wrenches.

And about 500lbs of other stuff.

It is always nice to get new tools, but when they come from your Grandfather they are even more valuable!!

You know it! I even got his old lunchbox from when he worked at Bethlehem Steel.

Pics of the bender.
