Flare nut wrench and a bo ratchet on a 911e. Installed new calipers and I'm still cussing out the engineers who designed such tight spaces

Most days, scalpel

Dewalt circular saw and drill driver, 12” flat prybar, torpedo level, speed square and fire foam gun. I had to frame a chase around a vent hood and seal it in with fire foam*. It’s not pretty, but it’ll work.

* I don’t know why they call it fire foam, when it actually catches on fire.

Stihl line trimmer to get some weeds out of the way for a realignment of a fence. Actually since I used the tractor to move the wagons to which the fence is attached, I would have to include that.

Impact (air and battery) and torque wrench new rear brakes and tire rotation for my daughter. She did most of the work actually but I did use the tools.

Torque wrench to torque the front lug nuts.

I had been hearing a slight exhaust leak. I washed the vehicle, vacuumed the interior and cleaned the interior on the El Camino this morning. I put it on my scissor lift to clean the lower part of the Elky. I then removed the front tires, to have access to all the exhaust manifold bolts. Several were a little loose. I usually check and tighten them during an oil change and chassis lube. That will be coming up soon and I will do my 390,000 mile oil and filter change.

My new to me $200 electric jackhammer with a digging spade to dig the pier footing for the 12'x20' steel carport for the boat. Lot of shoveling too, shovel leaning on the green waste trailer....

Got until 10/10 to start the amazon return on the thing having saved the box and packaging for it. It's what I call an "amazon rental"....

Machete that my dad carved handles for and made a tooled leather sheath to fit.
That sucker is still sharp as can be!

We returned from a couple weeks in Colorado and the blackberry vines in the greenbelt behind us had climbed the retaining wall and had poked through and under our fence a a few places.
I walked along the top of the retaining wall and "convinced" them not to grow any closer to my property.
It was kinda fun but I was hyper aware that one slip or misdirected swing would lead to an ER visit.
I remember Dad used to keep it under the drivers seat of our 1968 Pontiac to dissuade nonsense, and dispatch snakes, he hated snakes.

I think of Crocodile Dundee's words every time I see it- "that's not a knife- THIS is a knife"

Lineman's pliers and tin snips...going to rain here soon, so got a troubling rain gutter downspout to fit better. A year ago, a 10 minute job. Today? Over an hour, using a walker and my wobbly legs...one hand for the job, the other for myself, like a sailboat crew in rough seas...

Pisses me off it took so long, but then I have to remember that not long ago, I couldn't have done it at all. So, another recovery baby step...

^Nice work!^
Keep it up fellow Pelicanite👍

Let's see... shovel, to dig around the stump of a broken fence post, long bar to lever the darned thing out of the hole. The tractor, which carried the tools and me to the spot, then drove the replacement post and a multi tool which hauled out and drove nails in the insulators, then helped untie knots in 30 year old Electrobraid. And finally the big magnet I had to use to find the GD nail I dropped.

This.. none of the tools pictured or mentioned are worth a hill of beans without

So after using the tool and nothing‘s wrong with it, you’re going to return it to Amazon?

Wow.

Full 100% Douche Canoe move returning the electric Jack Hammer after using it--- but you do you I guess...

The hardest part to comprehend about that behaviour is that you chose to post on a public forum what you were planning on doing..... Mind boggling...

Cheers

Typical mind boggling post, you should see some of the others.

^^^^^ Oh, I am sure..... I have come across a few, but I am busy guy and will not bother searching... :)

Cheers

Yeah I didn't want to say anything but......

Lately I’m using my camera more and more, evidence Germans have small hands! ��

You guys are so easily triggered. There is actually something wrong with it that makes it a pain in the arse. after it warms up, meaning gets hot the hammer will not engage unless I lift it and slam it back down, like the bit needs to be reseated. Even went so far as to try another bit besides the spade and same thing. Maybe I'll make a video of it to further my case for returning it.

went to the amazon reviews and this was quite common after reading the low rated, less than 4-5 star (see what if did there?) reviews.

I love that big saw, but make sure you buy a standard kerf blade. I bought those Diablo blades from Home depot, they wobble like if a limp noodle.

Most days, I use a tape measure most but the one tool I always have around is a utility knife with a sharp blade. I really like the feel and quality of the Lenox Gold. I have a few of these box cutters in my car I purchased at the construction show in Vegas couple years back. I love this thing for cutting open adult proof packaging. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1759037040.jpg

Cheap Phillips screwdriver probing the dirt for an iron pipe property marker

I just purchased a drywall lift to sheetrock my kitchen. This is a large one-time use tool. I paid $249 at Lowes and my plan is to put it on CraigsList and let it go for $175

I just purchased this drywall lift at Lowes to sheetrock my kitchen. The ceiling took 7 sheets of drywall and this tool was a little awkward since it's a small confined space. However, there is no way I could have done this job without this tool. 5/8" drywall is heavy! It's going on Craigslist today.

This tool is very heavy. I don't know the exact weight but over 100lbs.

^^^^^^^

Exactly what I did. Purchased, did the entire basement, then sold the hoist for almost the amount I paid at purchase. Saved our marriage. I realized on the first sheet that my wife wasn't as strong as she lets on.

You need to get at least 4 screws in before you can let go of that sheet of drywall (preferably 6 or 8 screws). The lift holds it tight to the ceiling.

I'm replacing a decked walkway built on a 4x4 framework. I bought a 20 V 12 inch DeWalt chain saw. I wouldn't want to tackle a mature oak with it but for landscaping timbers it's great.

I often ride my bicycle deep into forests where firewood permits for weekend lumberjacks are available.

The number of battery-powered chainsaws I see these days on those cycling jaunts makes me realize that they are a gamechanger for lots of homeowners.

Why did you go with 5/8? Typically 5/8 type X is used in garages, with living quarters on the opposite walls, above, etc..

Been a busy couple days on the boat shed cover.

Used a borrowed transit to shoot elevations for the footing forms and string lines. I had not used a transit in many years, but it was like riding a bike, plus I had the owner of it helping me out so all I had to do was hold the tape, moving up and down and marking where he liked it. No photos as there was thunderstorms brewing so we packed it up as soon as the last elevation was shot and marked.

My 30 year old skill saw still works well enough to cut the wood to build the forms that I screw together so I can use them for all 10 piers. Borrowed a real old mixer from my neighbor who pretty much told me he does not want it back. It works like a champ and I'm tired long before it has been thus far. Pouring two a day forming them up, getting them on line and grade. Be advised they are in fact level contrary to what appears in the photos..:D

The quad and the snowplow blade have worked well for leveling and removing material from the area between the piers that will be covered and will get a 3-4 inch section of drain rock.

I suppose this qualifies as a tool.. A stand on skid steer loader. I've put 4 hours on this thing moving stone, dirt and tilling with a harley rake. I'm impressed with the little thing considering it only cost 15K new. If you own some land and do a lot of maintenance this thing is darn near perfect. I say darn near because it does have a few shortcomings.

3/8 cordless ratchet for rebuilding 3 piece wheels. I like to do these by hand, but what a revelation!

I’ve always called those a Dingo.

With good reason... The Toro Dingo was one of the first in the market with a stand on. A lot of people call skid steer loaders a "Bobcat" for the same reason.
