Tools!

Every time I need security screw tips I look at Granger, McMaster Car, my local locksmith wholesaler, and Fastenall. Usually none of them have anything I need in stock.

Same situation has happened to me multiple times so yesterday I looked into resolving it. Harbor Freight not only has them in stock they sell them as a kit for $7. My guess is it's because their customers like to break into things

I could be wrong, but due to their locations in impoverished neighborhoods.....I don't think I am.

Either way I got a good buy, even if I only use one bit once

I have the same kit from years ago at HF. They must have slipped up and contracted a decent piece of equipment with these kits

Because of the shape of some of the newer brake calipers, going old school and using C clamps can be a bit of challenge on some brake calipers, nevertheless a tool like this is very inexpensive and more useful.

Thats a nice one with a great design! The one I have is a POS from Pepboys and you can only hand tighten it. Everytime I use it I expect the glue in the handle to come loose on the all-thread but it's not broken yet.

I've got one similar, uses a reversible ratcheting handle.

Picked up another propane heater for the shop.

Reminds me I need to look into a natural gas heater for my basment. If I lose power my house looses heat. Next thing you know I'm shutting off my main and draining my pipes so they don't explode and then I won't have water either.

Something like this would keep my pipes and myself from freezing...not so sure I'd go vent less though. Dyna-Glo™ Natural Gas Blue Flame Vent Free Heater BF30NMDG-4 - 30,000 BTU

I ran those in previous places where I have lived, I would say they are pretty safe, you just need to make it’s burning at the correct color/temp, I would look at a mid priced models though and ones that have good reviews.
