The new tool thread

[thecrim22]

Really love the little thor hammer that I got a couple of years ago. So thought I'd get 2 levels up.
Proper nice size, glad I went for this one.

If anyone's in need of a hammer, get one of these sexy mother f*****s. The size 1 is my go to for "slight alterations but not quite Michael Jackson levels of reconstruction"

Cheers mate, @MarkCup is crying now

 

[Krarl]

Is this legal?

 

[jonzz]

I’d recommend using auger bits for drilling through joists

 

[iimushroomzii]

Flat/spade bits would be even better. Think everyone has got those makita holesaws.

 

[Krarl]

Not drilling through joists

I've got Bosch twist spades for that

Got these from eBay America, haven't seen pliers like these in the UK

They look like they be handy for hose clamps

Got rid of my old sgs jack as it had broken so modified a scissor jack to take a 17mm socket.

Not to be used as my main jack obviously, but sometimes I've needed a small jack to get in an awkward area. This will do the job spot on.

Absolutely ridiculous speeds with the impact stubby 😂😂

 

[dann2707]

Course you liked it @JackJack

😁😁

 

[Krarl]

Replaced the end of my Henry after a few years of taping the hose🤣 He's seen some s**t but still starts each day with a smile bless him

Anyone recommend a decent crimping tool, I’ve got one of these but it’s a bit crap frankly.

Ive got a set of snapon ratcheting ones and a set of cheap normal ones where the crimp part is in the middle of the handle instead of the tip

 

[jonzz]

I use Klein ratcheting one for crimps and knipex 97 53 04 for ferrules.

 

[Brigsy]

What are you crimping? For uninsulated amp tyco, delphi etc these are the dogs bollox.

Pardon our interruption...

Smaller gauge stuff mostly bullet connectors, jst etc that type of thing

Use a pair of snips you'll soon get the hang of when to stop squeezing when you've chomped through a few connectors 🤣🤣

 

[jameswrx]

These will do you

Avoid the cheap ratchet tools off ebay if crimping insulated terminals. Had a few, all pretty shite.

 

[JamesBryan]

I've got these from a local electrical supplies place.

Professional Crimping Tool for Pre-Insulated Terminals CT15

Hand held manual operated triple jaw crimping tool with ratchet mechanism for complete controlled crimp cycle. It is suitable for use with pre-insulated red, blue and yellow terminals. The indents on jaws can help identify which jaw has been used and the Jaws can easily be replaced...

Ratcheting ferrule crimps or gtfo

 

[McGherkin]

Anyone got any recommendations for a decent, non-brittle-as-f**k-chinesium, stud extractor set? Really don’t fancy snapping one in my subframe so the cheap sets will not cut it. Left handed cobalt bits and tap wrench style extractors.

All the ones on amazon have absolutely dire reviews.

 

[donnylad]

I use dormer ones, still snapped a few over the years, also ground some down to fit different holes 😂

 

[Hxrry]

Not a tool but upgraded my orange toolbox today, only had it a year but saw the grey one and fell in love

I’ve found a mate in the trade, thanks for the offer though 👍

 

[ilovewilly]

The free motoring club which any customer can now sign up for has the same discount as the trade card now does it not? 10% across the board I believe whereas years ago the trade card offered some decent discounts for bulbs, oils and tools etc.

 

[Krarl]

Used my right angle die grinder today with wire wheels in it. I can't believe I haven't bought one sooner, f**king game changer!
