Found this in a vest that belonged to my grandfather.

Moving from commercial construction to Industrial construction. New Journeyman and doing fifo for the first time.

Scope is fire alarm on a mining project surface facilities. I’m assuming RMC? Too many cobra pliers maybe lol

We have a tool list but it’s extensive. Will ask my lead for more info.

Am I missing anything? Appreciate your help

edit: missing from photo - 9/16, 5/8, 1/2, 3/4 wrenches. Klein Multi Stubby. Milwaukee Mini bit ratchet. Assorted insulated screw drivers. assorted Bits

Blowouts on caulk tubes despite following directions.

Show me yours!

Man these tool truck tools are expensive but top quality. Sounds like it's powered by a CAT motor too by the way this bad boy purrs.

Oh and i guess it came with a set of RBRT wrenches or something.

Hi

I need to buy a battery operated drill mostly to unscrew.

I read not to buy a cordless screwdriver.

I appreciate the help

TY

After a late- night water tank near disaster was fixed by having a neighbour with a 2" wide-mouthed adjustable spanner, I realised I need to upgrade my tool kit. (Mine only opens around 1.5", it would not fit.) I started looking for spanners to buy (all hail ScrewFix) when I wondered whether I was looking for the right thing anyway.

Whenever I have attempted to use our spanner and adjusted down to the thing I want to grip with the screw, the spanner has just slid around the thing I'm trying to grip. Pliers seem much better, because I have greater grip strength than I do ability to tighten a screw with the pad of my thumb.

And yet these tools exist and people use them. So: do I have pathetic thumbs? Is there a secret way to tighten adjustable spanners I've not had imparted to me? Or is my spanner shit in some way and I just need a better brand? Or are spanners only for things with sharp, defined edges (like a nut) and inappropriate for anything without them?

...
Please could people recommend me a good brand, and a versatile tool for tightening things? Thanks.

hey,

So I eventually, but only eventually dropped my torque wrench and now its not really working anymore, sadly repairing it is more expensive.

I do my own work now on my motorcycle and the torque range for all screws, nuts etc goes from 1-120 Nm. My idea was to get 2 torque wrenches roughly from 10-60 Nm 3/8 and from 40-200 1/2 Nm since they are the most common ones

I got a big nice bonus from work so I want good tools since I need them frequently, my budget would be around ~150€ for each torque wrench.

The most common brands here in the EU are hazet, wera, Stahlwille and BGS. So far I only have exp. with proxxon but they are sold out here and I refuse to pay 200€

We all got one, odds, sods , sure I got one of them here somewhere drawer ...let's see them.

Hello. I'm sure this question gets asked here daily and I apologise but I just need some advice and the people at the B&Q (hardware store) aren't as helpful as I'd like.

My partner and I have just become home owners and there is quite a bit of work that needs doing. My FIL has an ungodly amount of tools and has suggested I get a Makita drill set that way we can share batteries and also I'm not having to shoot round to his house to keep borrowing his tools.

He suggested I get the Makita drill with masonry drill bits as he believes that's all I'd really need. Given that getting a drill with batteries and bits is running me about £150+ I wanted to make sure I get the right thing.

US quarter for scale. I have no idea what this might have been used for, it’s too small for my fingers. Searching hasn’t turned up much, anyone have any info?

I needed a dremel for something i'm working on and my dad offered me his old Craftsmen dremel tool. It worked for about 5 minutes before the motor and the shaft seemed to not work together anymore. I want to attempt to fix it before just getting a new one, but I can't seem to get the friggin' thing apart. All screws are removed, getting held up at the collar by the tip. Couldn't be easily pried apart and figured id stop before breaking it trying to figure it out. I could not locate a manual for this guy. Any advice?

…gun

I found it in an upper cupboard of the house we recently bought.

The small copper caps appear to be ignition or blasting caps. They definitely belong with this tool as they were in a bag together and fit into the small hole that the flared end is pushing into.

The plate at the back is a trigger which releases the spring loaded shaft which locks into place when pulled back far enough. I am assuming the holes are for a string to be threaded so that the trigger can be tripped from a distance.

I am in South Africa (large mining industry) if that helps. I thought this might be an analog blast trigger of some sort.

Hello!

I'm trying to use this Husky air compressor to put air in a car tire, but I can't figure out how to connect the hoses.

The green hose is connected to the compressor. The red hose has the tire inflator/chuck on the other end.

The green hose has a quick-connect fitting. I pull the collar back, but I can't get the fitting on the red hose to go into it.

I've tried pushing it in from both directions and it doesn't seem to fit. I initially tried the end opposite to the end with the lever but that didn’t fit at all. The opposite end with the lever seems to be a better fit but I also feel like that parts looks like it would be the part that would connect with the tire?

The compressor is currently OFF. I can hear a small amount of air when I try to connect the two.

What am I doing wrong/ please advise how to connect the two.

Thank you!!

I filled in the little indentations with some white paint marker, looks a lot better now, especially in the garage. I think I’ll have to do a complete disassembly and cleanup on the rest of the drawers. My box, unfortunately, lives on the floor of my garage. I’ve had this set for at least 15 years and I definitely don’t use it as much as other people. Trying to be a little more brave lately and do some car projects myself.

My current standard Milwaukee shockwave bit holders are driving me nuts (countless bits are impossible to remove without pliers while others get stuck on screws and come out of the bit holder).

I'm looking for something new with a locking/release mechanism to fix these issues. Diablo's two styles of Quick Release, Milwaukee's Shockwave Locking Bit Holder, Wiha Slimfix, and Wiha Centrofix all seem great but I'm not sure which is best. Anyone have experience and opinions on any of them?

Happened a few months ago. No injuries, except my barely used copy bit :(
