What Tools Do I Use? Why? | Aging Wheels Tool Tour

Tools and Things:

[cal]

"Anger Grinder" is definitely accurate

[PBLKJeff]

"it doubles as a heat pump"

I see why Alec likes you

[wolfsokaya]

I love that "My other car is a Trabant" sticker on the Yugo.

[adewilliam]

2:45 "My other car is a Trabant" cracked me up. Nice one.

I actually really like that Milwaukee electric screwdriver. Makes assembling Ikea furniture a snap, among other things.

The 3D printer thing is spot on. You get one, have to justify buying it for the handful of things you initially got it for, make like 50 decorative prints with intermittent useful ones like conveniences and upgrades, and run out of things to print in 2-3 months until you either learn to make stuff or just say "ah to heck with it" and make more decorative stuff as desired. The new justification midway is all those filaments and colors. You can easily spend more than the printer on that.

I see we have the same mantra of buying tools.
Step one: Buy a 10" angle grinder because you need to cut up two pavement slabs for the back yard.
Step two: Now you have a 10" angle grinder. Just in case you need it. You probably won't, except for those 1-2 times a year you need to cut someting slightly bigger. But you have it.

Given your prediliction for extremely odd machines, I'm surprised you haven't found yourself needing a set of Whitworth wrenches. Not quite metric, not quite SAE, ALL British!

As wonderful as your tool tour has been, I'm mostly intrigued by the paper hanging on the door at the 19:32 mark, where "Blink Blonk" is crossed out, but "Stance" and "Speedo" are still listed. I look forward to the video where you explore different stances, in a Speedo. Blink blonk, indeed. :)

[ZGryphon]

Wow. I wish I had known about those Bendpak things 20 years ago, and that I had the means to get a set now for my father, who will be 70 next year and could really use an alternative to the old floor-jack-and-jackstands shuffle every time he has to do something under a vehicle (which is often because he's that kind of guy).

Edit to add: Upon review, god damn. Sentence structure, what is it?!

[Shquilleatmeal]

I never thought i'd watch a half hour of a guy talking about his tools, but im happy i did

[jima]

There is something very personal about going through another man's tools. Thanks for the tour.

Your tool collection has grown a ridiculous amount in the last few years. Bosch user here :)

[johncfalk]

Thank you SO MUCH! I tweeted at you and you responded. Gave me info on tools. Then this wonderful thing came out and you’ve made my decisions MUCH easier. I’m so excited to do this brake job on my GF’s car. Thank you so much for your videos.

My friends shop uses those exact us general tool carts. They take the gas struts off the top so they can roll it under a car on the lift.

[ChrisHarringtonMinneapolis]

Dropping literally everything to watch this now

[berkkarsi]

I know nothing about tools and yet somehow I still enjoy watching these videos

[ferrumignis]

If you don't get sponsored by Ryobi after this they are simply mad.

[imbe.]

I had curiosity. I love seeing, touching, smelling, tasting and hearing about tools. I love tools! I love to see what tools you have. Thank you, for showing us your tools.

about your free power supply. I've heard of this happening. An otherwise unscrupulous seller (or I suppose one trying to build some reputability), typically from China, will send unrequested items to an address, thus generating a verified delivery. This bumps them up on the Amazon foodchain. A couple years ago, there was a huge number of people talking about being sent packages of unrequested seeds. I guess they've moved on to other things.
