Tools You Don't Know How you Lived Without

Something I bought, thinking they would rarely get used, but in fact have so many uses…

Saved my knees meany a time!

 

Are you the Dentist from the Dustin Hoffman film, The Marathon Man?

 

Most of my must haves have been mentioned, but a compact 12v recip saw needs a mention!

 

VW-specific, but a TorqueMeister tool for undoing/doing up type 1 gland nuts. Managed to get a cheaper used one on eBay. Even if you have your flywheel off a couple of times, they're worth the money. They're just laughably easy to use. No more swinging frim lengths of scaffold pole - you can just twirl it round with a couple of fingers, and you're done up to 250 ft lbs

 

I have one of these. It's surly witchcraft how they work.
I've seen a YouTube of a guy first removing the said nut, then putting it back on using it..... yep he snapped it off
If I remember rightly, it also removes the hub nut on an prototype bay.

I dug out one concrete post took best part of a day, still had another six to do so I thought there must be an easier way I watched a video bought one the next day.

Bought one of these, about 15 years ago.
Great for my work.
People love my topiary.
People come from miles, just to stand in the gardens I work in, to admire my balls…

 

Do they call you tripod..?

 

They call those widow makers in the USA apparently. You can put huge force into them

 

A tool for opening the chain connectors, or missing links, used on bike chains. Why did I spend so long trying to remove old oily bicycle chains by hand? Got one of these a couple of years ago, and replacing chains is now a joy.

 

Yes. But before I bought it…
