what is it?

[Car Addict]

I am currently borrowing it from my friends shop, however they may be getting rid of it soon since it has not been used in over 6 years. I figure I will pick it up for cheapish then loan it out to local people.

Let me me know when you are looking to use it I will see what I can do. In the spring.

By bulk of collection I meant the new tools I just upgraded a bunch of them over the past 3 weeks

[M-technik-3]

I really should post my tools up in here oh well i will get the the bulk of my collection tomorrow this should be a tool not many have seen around.





And no I am not talking about the original crank holder.

Do you rent it out? Might be doing schricks in the spring.

[deutschman]

Been thinking about that ;)
I wont get a chance to really use it till April so I have plenty of time to come up with a solution.
The fun part is that every time I hit the trigger on the saw all the lights go dark for a second lol

new toys.

FYI, those things shoot a TON of sparks. Might be a good idea to either put it elsewhere or build a guard to keep from lighting the wall/bench/wrapping paper on fire. lol

This thread isn't to show off all your tools, it's to show off recently purchased tools.

I am just not a fan of Craftsman tools. And the fact that they don't have a lifetime warranty on power tools like they do on their hand tools is a deal breaker. I'd rather go with an IR any day, even if it is more expensive.

That Craftsman cordless impact is the bomb. You MUST get the lithium battery thought. I got one big one, and a small one. The small one is really light, so it's a bit better for small jobs. The big one lasted me for an entire suspension drop, R&R and rebuild on one charge.

That's a score Andrew. I have have the King Dick set in 3/8 and 1/2" plus a set of Snap-on sockets that I payed way too much for. Your MG uses American fasteners doesn't it? I know the Rolls Royce changed over to standard in the late 50's/early60's.

Most of the car is UNF, but there are a few random bolts that are Whitworth. Most of the brake fittings, some of the stuff on the shocks, things like that.

I realized though, with my engine swap, the car is going to have UNF, metric and whitworth hardware. lol

KING DICK... aren't those British tools?

Correct. British standard and Whitworth.

My fav 3 tools:

Craftsman cordless impact


Ball joint remover

the more i see these 2, the more i want them both!

[b*saint]

What I bought while in Italy.

All Beta.

[MattAvino]

You are REALLY gonna like having that tool in your arsenal. Front end work (of the non destructive type) on most all European makes is a cake with one of those.

Got one identical to this at harbor freight for $10
