Tools you may need!

These thread chamfering tools look useful. They are supposed to repair threads on the end of bolts/allthread rod. I just got one last night and I'm hoping to try it out tomorrow. This is the brand I got, but there are American manufactured ones out there.

Gravity powered. Might need a file if it's used regularly. Would probably still work with a dull blade.

Be sure to get multiple 10 and 12 mm sockets. They disappear in a heartbeat!

The so called estate thing was pretty picked through as far as the good stuff. I say so called because I think this guy is a part time picker and is running an ongoing side business under the table.

Did pick up a Williams 18" breaker bar for my 1/2" sockets for $10.00.and then a Snap On 15/16" combo wrench for $20.

Not great deals, but not awful. If he'd had more I would have haggled.

Score! Thats a $70 wrench retail.

Oh cool.....I feel better then. Was worth the stop.

Others have mentioned good axes (and wedges I hope). I got a Gransfors Bruks froe from my wife a few years back and that thing is extremely useful. You can make shingles with it, fatwood or just general kindling. There are some cool gravity splitters out there but I'd also like to have a Kindling Cracker King.

Braces and bits were mentioned but any non-powered hand tool is a good plan B to have in the shed or garage.

Man, that is a great idea. I think I will smith a froe next. I cut cherry splits in half and split them with a hatchet and hammer. The hatchet head is always getting loose from the hammer to hammer face hitting. A froe would make that easier. What are you using for a mallet? Dogwood is said to be best, but I can't cut down mine and the farm owner has standing orders to not kill any there either.

Scored a 1" Proto combo wrench for $30 delivered. In perfect condition.

A pistol, because I'll take your tools and food from you

it's comments and attitudes like that which stigmatize legal gun owners as murderous, unstable and in need of more gun control


also, I am begging you, with tears in my eyes, I hope you don't.

Sharpening stones! Dull tools make had work, and they like to hurt you!

 

[Mr.Culper]

Tools are useless with knowledge and experience using them,,, Like buying a pistol, bringing it home, loading it, and putting it under your pillow

You might want to either retract this or add a sarcasm tag because you have a lot of people here who are glad to be your Huckleberry.

Another really good tool with dozens of uses... a quality bolt cutter.

Seriously. Some of my worst injuries and also worst projects came from dull tools.

There are many possible flavors of "hit the fan" but one of my favorite no electricity tools is my oxy-acetylene torch set.

Working though settling my dad's estate, my sister wants the house and she will own/run the family business. I get first pick of the tools that he has collectd/used over 60+ years.

I ned to find space and then pour a concrete base for the manual tire changer. I ended up being the "cheap labor" as a kid, but learned at an early age how to break beads and change tires off a rim and put new ones on and then balance then with a bubble tire balancer.

Several oxy set-ups, mechanic's sets and then some, complete with a drawer of just 10mm stuff. My great-grandfather's sharpening table that is belt run, and a bunch of other stuff. My nephew has no interest in any of it (fo now), but hopefully that changes as he gets older. He is more concerned with grades right now in his SR year so he can get ready for college next year.

Breaking beads on a tire can cause some serious arshe tighting! And a good skill set!
As well as that bubble balancer!

Both are not used in today's world were everything is computerized!

Sorry to hear of your loss, but when ever those tools are used by you, oh the good memories you will have for a life time!

LOL, not so much a pucker factor on a deflated tire, the issue was my skinny ass on the breaker bar with all my weight and still not breaking the bead. It taught me a lot about mechanical leverage at a really young age. The balancer still works, I checked it out last time I was out there.

NOW, resetting the bead, THAT was fun, especially when using a pnumatic tightening strap around the center of the tire to bet it to "bulge" a bit to pre-set the beab before airing up.

That's not a bad thing.
