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

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.

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.

Jeff Alton 09-27-2025 04:14 PM

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

Cheers

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