Tools!

Couldn't remember if I posted it when I got this. Picked up this sweet little creeper from Pep Boys a few months ago. Convertible between creeper and a stool. Comes in super handy.

Pretty sure my fat ass would break it in stool mode.

My dads 270 and has used it a few times. But probably wouldnt hold up under frequent extended use.

Just looked it up and it shows 300 pound capacity.

Well he is a bigger man than I. But I would bet as you would and it not holding up. Cool idea though for you skinny guys.

Seems like those do not belong in a normal tool box. Do they come with a velvet lined wood storage box? They look like they should.

Reminds me.. I need a few more plier-wrenches. Cause I never use the ones I have. But they are well built.

I need a good set of bent needle nose pliers. Done wore all the teeth off my old set so they just slide off. Same reason my finger tips are still numb a week after installing all my wiring in the Tacoma

I've got a couple of pairs of Knipex bent needlenose. They work great and have used them more than I thought I would.

I'm gonna use the fuck outta these like I do my other Knipex stuff. I'm more worried about losing them than I am of breaking them.

I use mine so much I turned them into slicks

Truth be told they are from a cheapo set I bought before I understood the credo of "by once cry once"

Now that I know better I'm investing in good tools unless it's a one and done type task then HF it is.

Yeah I only use HF if it's something that I dont care about or something that I've heard good things about first hand (floor jack). I'm swinging by there later this afternoon to pick up a 12 ton press. At <$100 and as little as I'll use it (or at least think I'll use it) it's a much better option than a name brand.

Also, x3 for Knipex. Cant beat them. Love mine at work. Going to order some for the home tool box soon now that I'm starting to organize and setup my garage some.

Nice!

 

[Silverback]

Yeah, I bought like 7 or 8 different styles.. one of each.. some were like $6 each! Nothing over $10. Should have got them all. Hindsight.
