Tools!

[Silverback]

Those are cool! I just hang my Milwaukee tools by the belt loop hanger on my dogs kennel. However he does not use the kennel any more so I need to take it down. These look like a great option.

I like that it gives me some options to maximize usable space. This keeps everything in one general area and easy to keep track of.

Anyone used an air tool holder like this? Are they worth while or are there better ways to store air tools/ devices? Still working on organizing the garage. I have preformed metal material like this and could easily drill/cut to do this if they are worth while.

i have a similar one from a guy on Etsy, I believe called speed fabrications. I just make sure to put caps on the air lines to avoid dust from getting in there

Does the angled lip make a difference?

They make various plates to hang the tools.

I am using these off Amazon. An electrician friend of mine recommended these exact ones. He uses them in his work boxes without issues.

Then I received these last night for the M12 tools. They are made in Texas and are a pretty firm fit. I may end up sanding them a touch to be an easier on/off fit. If I was using them in a trailer the retention fit is perfect right now.

Awesome. The search begins for Ridgid holders.

Which one, nylon or aluminum?

Does the angled lip make a difference?

i don’t think so as long as the platform that runs parallel with the ground is sloped up. Just prevents the tool from falling out

I looked at the Husky cart in the store yesterday. Absolute junk. No way I'd put $100 into that one. Pulling the drawer out and shaking it probably had a good 5-6" of back and forth.

I make a shitload of bread on my own... just so happens she is a SVP.

This came in today, should make removing the ford fan clutch much easier next time around, and good general use pulley holder/strap wrench. Uses a standard 5 rib belt and a 1/2” drive breaker bar. Not sure why nobody makes these anymore but any new strap wrenches I’ve seen are cheap plastic and won’t hold up if you swing your purse at it

 

[CowboyTaco]

What is this? Was under my air compressor, but there is a trash can nearby. No indication that it is from the air compressor.... or anything else for that matter.

Looks like a valve core from a tire or similar setup.

yeah it’s a schrader valve core, doesn’t look like it would be for the compressor itself.

I hope you are joking and actually know wtf that is

 

[CowboyTaco]

I figured that's what it was, but wtf would it be from, and how would it look that destroyed?

 

[AlienXtx]

Better look for a flat tire with no valve stem cap

You probably picked it up in your tire tread at some point and it fell out in your garage.

If you just want a good cart that will last a lifetime all the tradesman in philly use these to get their tools from the parking garages to the jobsites that are blocks away.

We also used them daily in our shops.

Never seen anything fail on them other than a wheel that's easily replaced.

Uline Utility Cart - Standard, 45 x 25 x 33

Built tough in the USA! Ready for duty in offices, stockrooms and warehouses. Lightweight, quiet and easy to maneuver in tight spots. Sturdy structural foam. Rounded edges prevent wall damage. 2 5/8" deep trays are 19" apart. Non-marking 5" quiet rubber casters: 2 swivel, 2 rigid. Utility Cart...

Also made in the USA so no supporting commies



First tool I've bought in months. Sadly its commie china made but every pro I know uses them. Same as the cart in terms of well known reputation in the commercial pro market.....just sucks there is no US equivalent available with the same reputation.

I guess I can kinda feel ok seeing as I bought it at a local store in town for $5 less than Amadongs best deals

I've made a lot of money with my pole...

But also buy a roller with ball bearings (usually the most expensive roller on the shelf). Made a world of difference when rolling out paint. I just made sure the roller is spotless once I'm done using it and that it dries out.

 

[Oswego]

So funny you say that. I blew another roller out yesterday. That's three this year I've killed. Two on the basment block walls and one priming/texturing/painting a bedroom.

I never even knew they had them with bearings. Wish we had this conversation a few hrs ago before I got back from the store with another generic sw roller
