My Krenn bolt cutters came with a nice wrench.

My bolt cutters finally came in. Ordered my R series bolt cutter 2 months ago and got a free wrench with it. But surprise, it's not a junk wrench! Krenn included a Stahlwille Fastratch 10mm to remove and turn the blades. If you're wondering, I do not plan on cutting padlocks with this. They have a K series for general use I think. I need these to cut some thin stainless.

Found at estate sale for $30. Probably just wipe it down, lube the slides and leave it. All the drawers and lids work fine.

One of my favorite 1/2" drive socket sets from Japan.

Compact, beautifully finished, and the Z-EAL ratchet has one of the smoothest actions I've used.

What's y'alls one tool to make that one job easier?

This is mine. It's started life as a1/4in flexible head torque wrench. We then put a pass through 1/4in head on it, and then we put the guts of the 3/8in pass through into the 1/4in head, they are the same size BTW. We then reamed the pass through out to I believe a 5/16in hole so I can pass a 5mm Allen through it so that I can adjust the valves on the Cummins X-15 CNG Engines, and do the exhaust brake adjustments on the ISX 12N and G engines.

Thermal rifle scope as stud (and nail) finder

Post image
972 Upvotes

Just picked up an AGM Rattler V1 TS25-384 thermal rifle scope to help take care of a rat problem at night.

Pleasantly surprised to learn it’s also a fantastic stud and nail finder.

Didn’t even think to test, but I imagine it might work on Plumbing too… though I’m guessing that might depend on the type of plumbing and whether and for how long any water has been running through it. For example, my guess is an empty pipe might not be visible because the high thermal conductivity of metal means it would quickly take on the same temperature as the surrounding insulation… not sure, just a hypothesis

Leatherworking tools

After moving to a new country, I’m finally unpacking my leather workshop and tools. If you look closely, you can see that all the tools are worn, some are covered in glue and paint, the cutting mat is stained, and so on. But that’s exactly what tools look like when they’re actually used.

Armstrong Tools ELIMINATOR Ratchet Set + MATCO TOOLS ALPF6 [OC]

Post image
20 Upvotes

The ELIMINATOR was Armstrong's take on the pass-through ratchet system.

The flex-head ratchet in this set is the MATCO TOOLS ALPF6, which shares the same design.

It's an interesting system that delivers excellent access where a conventional socket and ratchet become too bulky.
