Tool purchases

[Felix]

It's a brand name that I've noticed a few times. The chainsaw plastic feels ok and it seems to be made well enough.

I am sure its a Katsu rattle gun i have. Its allegedly 520Nm what is quite good as most of the other Makita copies are around 300Nm. The N/S wheel studs on my Camperbus is reverse thread and standard the Torque is around 200Nm but that side seems to tighten itself when driving. As yet its never struggled to get my nuts off. bought a Genuine one also what is i think 1000Nm but its quite heavy to use so tends only to come out for heavy jobs like my engine swap in my work van.

Versatile little tool, then?

It's taken me years to buy my own,instead of being a cadger.

I'm well chuffed & even somewhat gruntled.

Unlikely I'd ever make these, and I doubt you can buy them, but full marks for the thought.

A jack and axle stands are much simpler and let you take a wheel off.

Depends on the job, obvs, but if the wheel isnt coming off I prefer ramps and this addresses the side access issue.

Handy wee tool. Just cut up a plank of 4"x2" to test and its got the thumbs up for me. Looks like if needed i could add a longer chain and guid if i find it to small but yes, quite chuffed.

I made something similar to that, but it was all screwed together, really useful actually on cars when doing a job where the wheels won't need to come off and where stands may be a bit iffy. I used that structural grade timber which was left over from a house jobby.

Bought another tool again, diamond drill for porcelain tiles.

I somewhat underestimated the size of the racks these new (Tekton brand) socket sets came with. For some reason I was thinking about 1ft long & 3in wide or so... They're actually 3 3/4in wide & 19 5/8th long. The socket clips rotate 45deg to release the sockets.
Red rails are metric, black are Proper British AF





Gonna take a bit more toolbox organization than I thought, but no biggie. Overall, well chuffed & very gruntled.

28 piece Capri 1/4 drive 12pt regular & deep sockets, 4 to 15mm. (Do they sell Capri brand in the UK?)

[cheb]

Yes, but they are usually pants.

Ordered two more socket racks (the yellow ones), then cut the drawer liner under them so the drawer would close with the deep 1/4 drive sockets on them... One rack is metric, the other is AF.

Welding magnets, metal marking pencils, latches for the other Simonsen & a spiffy stainless auto trim pry tool doohicky.
