Looks pretty bad ass thb would buy

I guess B&D are hiring autists as part of affirmative action now

holy fuck that looks awesome i was thinking just yesterday i wish i could trim this tree with 1 hand

Vibration saw, it is supposed to be a light "chainsaw" for women, but I dunno, was working with that as a man and it was quite difficult to handle (kicks a lot and saws very slowly, I'd recommend an electric chainsaw for women instead).

>>1239431
>Vibration saw, it is supposed to be a light "chainsaw" for women,

It's a recipricating saw with a short stroke; not neccisarily just for use while gardening. Sold, and still sold as 'multi-function'.

>>1239420
DeWalt and Stanley have taken the pro-sumer market and the BnD brand is still a cashcow for the Stanley Black and Decker company so they have to bring something out with it. What would have been BnD biggest home/diy market are probably (if not already there) fast approaching retirement so this sort of shit is right what they're lookin for.

>>1239419
they do the job, BUT I'd still prefer a regular chainsaw. it's really just a super-safe chainsaw as it is.

that said, if you need cutting power in close confines it does really good

>>1239431
This shit just looks like a large turkey carver

>>1239430
that's a 2 handed device....

>>1239425
that thing is sexy, would buy third generation of one of those

>>1239464
Farm fag here, why are people so interested in these?

Just because its common dont mean its not wierd as fuck.

This weird ass thing is used to rake out fresh mortar in between brick. You literally fill mortar in between brick so that you can rake it back out nice and neat. It does leave a nice recessed mortar joint and does look good when done properly. Only should be done indoors as it is the worst weatherproofing mortar joint profile.

>>1239613
because most men are very attached to their balls, and want to understand their enemies.

>>1239459
>tape over the switches so they are always on
>plug it into foot-pedal-operated extension cord

>>1239412
Damn looks like a great torture device.

>>1239461
What are you, 12?
When I was a kid, that was a perfectly normal bumper jack.

>>1239412
I use that shit all the time desu
extremely handy, cuts everything from branches to small trees

>>1239887
Agreed. Just sold my old ltd. Wouldn't have wanted any other jack.

there was a time when it made sense to sharpen razor blades. I think they say the metal was a different type that actually could be sharpened a few times.

this device holds the blade against a leather disc that rotates, and once per revolution it flips the blade over to do the other side.

>>1239915
Razor blades are still good metal, one of those things that it's actually cheaper to make quality than shit. Do it every now and then when I'm bored and everything else is sharp.

>>1239925

you sharpen razor blades?

you are the god of /diy/

>>1239412
WWWAAAAAGGHH!!

>>1239613
I just remember the sound of a bull screaming.
Like pic related for IT folks

>>1239933
Yes. I like. Good one.

Not a "tool" but it has a purpose.
Unlike this post that has none.

>>1239955
Brilliant bit of kit

Always been a little fascinated by this thing. Wonder if they're actually any good.

>>1239976
Depends on what you are using them on.
For the most part they are too damn big to fit on anything.

>>1239976
>Wonder if they're actually any good.

Wonder no more because I have the answer.

No.

>>1239983
>>1239984

That's a shame, since they sure do look neat.

>>1239926
It's the same as sharpening anything else, just harder to hold...

>>1239957
God dammit I needed these months back. A fucking idiot engineer, whose project I had to fix, had 78 nuts that we had to hand thread onto all thread. The most mind numbing task I have ever done.

>>1239412
My grandfathers invention, it actually works pretty good.

>>1239461
look a common jack.

>>1240115
Is..... Is that some combination of a pair of vice grips and a pipe wrench? Looks pretty cool... Do you have any idea how he made it?

>>1240138
nope, my dad was 14 when his father died. It works by pushing the locking lever down, putting what you want in the jaws, adjusting the jaws till they touch what you want to clamp, then closing the handle which locks in place.

>>1240142

So it works like vise grips, then?

>>1240158
pipe grips n-no homo

>>1240165

As I recall, there is some company which makes a pretty skookum vise grips/pipe wrench crossover product.

Forget what the fuck it was, but I heard it works well.

>>1239431

This is basically a comically oversized sternal saw; the kind of saw used for open heart surgery to cut through the sternum and open the chest cavity. Really fast and short stroke.

Need to get a pair of these

>>1239431
>Vibration saw for women

Pretty sure it's missing a few attachments.

>>1239955
>>1239957
>>1240074
What's the purpose of these? Do you put them on threaded rods so you don't have to thread them on all the way?

>>1239425
*slips and drills your floor :^)*

>>1240201
What in the seven hells is that weird...pencil holder on the handle.

>>1240350
Safety wire twisters, mostly used on aircraft

>>1240350
The handles lock and you can spin it so it twists the wire really fast

>>1240336
Basically yeah. You sit them on the rod, the top and bottom half lock together under tension on its own thread then you use them as you would a full nut.

>>1239412

For me it's the stick snapper.

>>1240357
>>1240355
>>1240350
>>1240201
The Clamptite is pretty cool
It also uses safety wire, they say its main purpose is for making "custom hose clamps"

I have never used it for that, its great for cinching anything that you would have zip tied (if whatever you are zip tying can handle metal wire at least)

They are pretty expensive for what they are, luckily you can build your own pretty easily

>>1239461
looks like the jack that came stock with my '74 Dart

>>1240550
Please explain what is that

>>1240573
you put a stick in it, and snap it...

>>1240573

Snaps sticks, and also appropriately sized for opening beers.

>>1240556
I built my own and it was pretty decent. I used a 6-1 tool bit and I had a 1/4" drive poker tip thing to use for the tip.

My only problem is I bent my roll pins.

>>1240580
Bike mechanic here, I've used the Hozan version, pretty neat but id say the BB reamer/facer is even more weird and proprietary.

Well, you and the other fellas saved me a couple bucks. I was going to buy one just to fuck with it, but I guess it's not even worth the $20.

I knew a guy who used something like that for straightening arrows. Seemed worse than the usual tool to me though.

It's my grandfathers take on vice grips, although it real just works like a hand held vice that vice grips, it's not very good for turning nuts or bolts.

>>1239613

I sharpen razors and boxcutter knives all the time now that I got myself a belt sander. It takes moments. I don't do it to be cheap but it's literally faster and less effort than changing the blade.

What's the proper name for these? Reverse search gives me split nut or buzznut. Having some of these would be handy as hell.

>>1241619
Well Erico call it an 'SN Nut'
You can see it says that right on the packet. They might not have a proper name, maybe limited, maybe patented?

>>1241625
Can't find anything in the UK.

gripping screwdrivers, when you press them against the screw the tips expand outward to hold the screw by the inside

>>1239412

>>1241646
Why on a flat head of all driver shapes?

>>1241667
For removing flathead screws before you replace them with literally any other head design.

>>1241670
flatheads are objectively the best fastener design.

>>1241629
Maybe 'locknut'?

>>1241847
lock nut could mean a crimp lock nut or a nylock, not what was shown, the only thing i have seen similar to that was when someone cut the threads off of a bolt so he didn't have to run the nut the entire length of the stud, but this would have been way more easy

This hydraulic PEX tool does 15mm and 20mm water fittings. You can swap the heads to suit up to 40mm fittings.

>>1239614

i used to work woth these, god my hand hurt after a day.

Love #1, putting threaded fittings on pipes with that spring loaded is much smoother than regular pipe wrench, use it all the time. Doesn't grip pipe so good, but fittings do great

#2, nice to have at hand to hold opposite end when tightening a nut and bolt assembly with ratchet/wrench/adjustable wrench, especial in small area, I've had a couple different kinds, but this particular HD one has been most durable so far
#3, real useful when you can't fit a ratchet, or for things like compression nut on pipe fitting when you'd have to use an open ended wrench regardless. Normally don't use them to full torque, just get them snug and then use wrench to finish.

>>1239933
It shouldn't even notice

>farmfag who has done 100s

>>1241952
is this cgi?

>>1241664
i have one used it several times but still bether to invest in a power driver

Eh might as well try here first.

I have this Buffalo drill press that has been sitting unused. Decided to make a work bench and mount this thing.
I don't know much about it though. There's a little pulley mounted on it, I presume it's to help raise the platform which weighs a good 100lbs. But then behind the pulley is this other hoist thing (the aluminum bar stock with 3 holes drilled in it). What might that be for?

More to follow

>>1242216
Looks like a Buffalo Forge No. 15. The slow speed pulley looks to be shop made, as does the pulley guard up front. The depth stop has also been replaced. I don't know what is going on with your motor mounting situation. It looks to be in good condition, though. When I got mine it was covered in 4-5 layers of paint, was missing most of its pieces, had a horizontal only motor mounted to it, and the wrong kind of pulleys installed. It took me forever to get it all pulled apart and put back together again. Great drill though.

>>1242216
Then the base has these slots cut in, what would that be for?

>>1242220
Yeah some guy modified it to have more drill speeds. That's fairly straight-forward.
What I don't get is how to lower the drill head/ motor. Is it supposed to just stay at that height?

>>1242222
Me again. Those are T-slots. They are used for special mounting hardware and easily accommodate bolts. They are used when you really don't want the thing you are working with to move.

>>1242224
If you have a belt using the slow speed pulley you can't lower the head. You raise the table instead. Those were an add-on item. If you weren't using the slow speed pulley then you could lower the head by loosening the head lock lever and wiggling it down the column. Generally, it is the table you move up and down, not the head.

>>1242228
Alright, thanks for the info

>>1241982
#2 is my go to backer wrench so I don't need two sets of wrenches. Plus, one of those in your go-bag means you don't need a hammer.

I was suspending a 60 by 100 foot walk-in cooler ceiling due to they Meathead miscalculation we had to cut all the threaded rods off 2 feet above where they were at now this has to be done from ladders we started out spending the nuts by hand but I quickly put a few reps of rubber electrician tape not vinyl around a nut driver and spun the drill in reverse while holding the rubber against the nut it still took a while but we threaded those nuts like a champ

I'm used these before, but I saw something new, last month maybe, on an episode of Dirt Every Day.

He chained a hi-lift to diagonal corners of a bent frame, and just cranked on it until it was (sorta) back to square. Don't know if I'd ever do that though.

>>1241946
"slip on lock nut" is the phrase you're looking for. There's several different companies that make this kind of nut, or a variation of it.

>>1244306
I'm looking at it like it has two heads. What the fuck is that?

It's for opening the bungs on 55 gal drums. There are about a million different kinds of plugs and seals, so the solution is a wrench with everything you could possibly need.

>>1250157
Armstrong is dead (or will be very soon), and their tools aren't that great as far as USA-made stuff goes in my opinion. Before going to China, a lot of Craftsman items (sockets, ratchets, full-polish wrenches, etc.) were made by Armstrong and essentially identical for a fraction of the price.

Their fine tooth locking flex ratchets are pretty nice, though, and were often considered unmatched for the prices you could get them for.

>>1241646
They're for putting on electrical plates, like for your receptacles

>>1250266
At the moment im intereted in tryjng their 1/4 drive ratchets and see if its any good

>>1250686
From what I've read, only the MAXX (88 tooth) ratchets are worth buying, but those are fantastic, especially the locking flex versions since they have the best locking flex mechanism around.

Got one in a dumpster when i was in the army. shit is so fun.

>>1239915
My bro collected these. There were a TON of absolute mad-man methods of sharpening razors. And I agree, shaving with dull blades is shit.

That little fucker you've got there is one of the beautiful ones he has. As you spin the crank, it flips the blade so both sides get sharp.

>>1250701
Okay so i received the 1/4 armstrong avaition ratchet and its got a good design and feel to it. Now the big problem about this ratchet is the retention ring on the drive head. So for example i put on a craftsman 5/16 socket and it'll get stuck because of the retention ring. Thinkin about returning this thing and just getting a snap on ratchet.

>>1254505
Weird, never heard of that problem. Seems like it would be a huge design flaw that wouldn't last very long. Is it just that small sockets actually fit down too far and end up inside of the ring?

I'm not sure how old your Craftsman sockets are, but the later USA ones (G and G2) were made in the same factory as Amrstrong sockets and identical in design, so I'd think they'd play nicely with an Armstrong ratchet.

>>1254713
I'm using the series they have on sell right now but i've managed to fix the problem by adusting the ring with a scribe. Yea it's a pretty major design flaw considering i have to adjust the ring just to get it to out good. I'm going to stay with the ratchet and i might as well hit armstrong up with the feedback though.

Anyone know good and cheap ratcheting wrenches?

>>1255457
You mean like gearwrenches?

No, they dont exist. Even Gearwrench brand has turned to shit. Proper ratcheting box end wrenches are prohibitively expensive

>>1240550
if I act nao will I get dubs?

>>1241664
I tried one on a recent project. It was pretty terrible compared to a cordless drill at removing and replacing screws in door hinges.
I will say, the egg beater drill did a fine job and wan't as big a regression in utility as the push screw driver was.

>>1255460
So best case scenario you'd recommend gearwrench?

>>1255469
I guess id recommend gearwrench if you wait till they are on a good sale.
Just understand they are chinese made and having huge box ends that are hard to fit anywhere because they cheaped out.

i recognize parkside colouring on the thing

>>1241122
I used a set of these do to the post tensioning on windmill towers pretty handy.

>>1242222
You slide a upside down bolt into it then you can bolt things to it.

>Bull screaming
sources say that the animal doesn't feel anything and goes on about its business until its nuts just casually falls off.. you wouldn't be denying the narrative would you?

>>1258436
i don't know about bulls, but lambs are none too pleased when one has a band on his boys, they get all wobbly and lay in a corner for a bit

>>1258439
Do they seem in pain or just uncomfortable?

>>1239412
It says alligator but it reminds me of a sperm whale

>>1258454
probably some pain at first, i would think it is like when you tie a string around your finger, first it hurts then it kind of goes numb, i've never cut the sack, but from videos i have seen they seem to get up and act normal way faster than with the band

>>1241664
I've got one of these too, almost took my eye out a couple times.

>>1239955
I would think technically that is a tool.
>>1244841
This. Based knipex. I was looking at them earlier this morning.

>>1241122
How do these work?
>>1241126
Neat. Is that going into a furnace?

>>1241649
Oh wow, I had no idea this existed. Flat heads suck because your tip tends slips out.
Inb4 they're expensive af

>>1259030
Those are little hydraulic pistons that can be connected to a hand pump, known as a Porta-Power.

>>1241649
I feel retarded here but how does this grip a slotted bit if the head spreads apart? How can it create friction on open ends?

>>1240358
>>1240074
Why not just get a 1inch wide rubber band and stretch it over the nut and onto a drill?

>>1240201
I've got two pairs of these. One made in Taiwan, the other in the USA. They were both issued to me by my employer. The sad part is that we only use stainless wire for one application, and that is locking the nuts on probes so that they maintain the calibrated adjustment.

>>1242224
I sorta think the weird clamp thing with the whole pully/aluminum arm assembly is on backwards and someone just rotated it out of the way at some point in history and never turned it back.

when lowered half way down and reversed, it would be in the perfect position to hold a drill press table thing like what you have made out of wood.
inb4 everything I said is discredited because of my inability to remember what things are called

>>1239431
>I'd recommend an electric chainsaw for women instead
I'd recommend they stay in the kitchen

Hydraulic crash rescue tools. Got to try them as a part of a civil defence/SAR volunteer exchange training. Makes you feel drunk with power ripping a car chassis apart.

>>1239461
>>1239465
basically just a farm jack yet probably twice the price

>>1259466
I've got a few extrication tools laying around, bought them surplus off the local FD when they got new ones.

I should dig them out and post pictures for you guys.

DAMN LOOKS LIKE THE DRILL STOPPED SOMEBODY GO FIX IT

>>1240556
>Clamptite

made in USA too, but it's 72 dollars.

I might pick one up and toss it in the back of the car for emergency use. you can make a clamp from any wire including shirt hangers.

>>1239412
Crank puller for a bike.
US made Park tool. Recently acuired it to overhaul a bottom bracket. 19.99 i think. Probably going to use it once every 5 years.

>>1247800
I live like 40 min from MFG. Are you? You want that thing restored....it'd be dope.

Thats the stainless steel one, you can get the aluminum one on ebay for ~30$
Still steep for what it is, but its got its place

Starret brings you the magnifying glass hammers

>>1260290
What is this mic for?

>>1259695
I know it's just a game mechanic. But it seemed excessive how often it jams in the game.

>>1260430
A limit micrometer, you can use it as a go/no go gage by setting spindles to upper and lower limits

>>1260434
Also another funky micrometer if anyone wants to try guessing what its for.

>>1260295
Hmm, would have to be built pretty tough to not break

>>1260038
This could be said about a lot of different bike tools. Working in a bike shop however I use it about 5 times a week.

>>1250710
get one with an LED inside and it will change your life

>>1260440
Steel Can Seam Micrometer

Next time, alter the image so a reverse image search won't work.

>>1260260
Why would you need a depth gauge on the back of a mic?

>>1260480
I was hoping people wouldn't be boring and just use reverse image search. Even if I altered the image google image search would still have worked.

Also have picture of 6-12 inch pre 1920 Brown and Sharpe micrometer.

>>1260498
Model number

>>1260431
Basically it's because the drills are just regular power drills being used to attack safes, which will generally be made of a hearty steel. So you have a shitty Harbor Freight drill going a few thousand RPM when it should be going maybe say, 600 RPM. And that's with coolant, I don't recall if the drills in game had any sort of cooling system on them.

>>1260480
>Steel Can Seam Micrometer
I always wondered what these were, I've had a shop made one for years

>>1247484
There's not a huge number of alternate uses for a laryngoscope

>>1247419
Also used by EMTs to resuscitate people if they need to be intubated.

>>1260038
square taper bro, please go to a two-piece crank setup, your life will be improved tenfold

>>1260545
seeing around corners?

>>1247089
give it back tyrone

Does anyone know what this is?
Came in a box of old wrenches, I thought it was a drift at first glance but its obviously not.
No clue what it is, nothing in the box similar to it

>>1260926

I'm guessing 2 legs of a gear puller.

A couple carpet tools I thought were cool my first day on the job

>>1260965

Part of my EDC at work. Those side cutters have saved my ass so many times. The leverage is insane, and the pliers are cool too

>>1241982
Buy proper tools.

>>1244306
Nice. Want.

>>1245648
Hi-Lifts are fucking wonderful. I have four and want more.

>>1240201
Get the stainless safety wire too. Cheap on Ebay. Shit's insanely useful around the shop even if you don't safety wire fasteners.

Milbar, Blue Point etc are good.

>>1260966
This one is cool. Till the next days and your knees are feeling it.

cat. Dremmel #1 for reference

Mike Rowe gave a talk about his time on dirty jobs and how he actual found it more humane to bite off the lamb's balls than to do the rubber band thing

like if anyone is interested, really good talk

I am violently engorged. My bro just went through a hand scraping class with Keith Rucker and after he fabs a couple of scrapers he'll teach me. We have a Bridgeport to do.

Late 19th-early 19th Century Obstetrical Saw, Used for splitting the pelvic bone if the babay's head was too large.
True Fact!

>>1247833
Cast saws are worth a ton. My parents have one sitting around the house they offered me. No idea what I'd use it for.

>>1241664
>>1242163
Are these any good?

The idea of unpowered, one-handed drill, that you can drill straight with appeals to me.

Chuck ?
Torque ?

>>1260038
you could make an entire thread just about weird bike tools, my man. so many fucking """""standards"""""" might as well have a magic 8 ball for a toolbox
