The toolbox thread

[Muttley]

My 1/4” ratchets are probably my most used tools.They small and easy to use for anything on a bike.

 

Take all my monies!!

 

I still use my dad's Metabo Drill which is +- 35 years old and it's rock solid.

 

May I ask where you got this from?

Thank you.

 

That is to cut brake lines and insert a new tail into the line.

Our new place has a massive shed. Can’t wait to get in and set up a workshop again for the first time in many years. Got my first addition this week on sale

 

WOW that is a lekker shed. What was it used for before you got it? It is very tall. Almost looks like you can keep a small light aircraft in there.

Very Nice!

 

Lots of percussive therapy happening on your bike by the looks of that mallet.

Really like that floor.

Very common here on farms/small holdings. Used for tractors, equipment, workshops etc.

 

I think ours may have had animals in at some stage as half of the floor is not concrete. Going to sort that, build a mezzanine and a workshop

I bought that one a few years back at a hardware store in Germany.

 

Looks like this is the newer model.

Not a standard item. But looking at around R550-600. I can place an order for you.

Is that for a full set of Park Tool JIS screwdrivers?

 

JIS are very difficult to find in SA and with some kit they are vital to prevent stripping screw heads. They are widely used on photographic equipment.

That's a good price, those little sets are invaluable, most top notch tool brands make a similar set but they can get very pricey.

This past Christmas my partner decided to treat herself to a Kiehl's advent calendar. I never knew such things existed. My only reference to advent calendars were those Cadbury's ones with the tiny chocolates in.

 

Anyway, apparently skincare advent calendars are a big thing (and often costing R1000 - R2000).

 

So what does that have to do with this thread...

 

Well while I was searching into fancy-branded and useful advent calendars, I discovered this...

 

 

The annual Wera advent calendar! I missed out last Christmas, but definitely keen to get one this year!
