Anyone else love tools like I do?

I've been purchasing tools for half a century and never ever in my life have I witnessed what I got today.

As all of us are sick of cheap China tools and Cheap oil wrenched that break on us. In fact, I once broke a weld on a cheap piece of junk oil wrench as the filter was so tight.

Anyway, take a gander at how these oil wrenches were packaged. They have die-cut foam with a piece of foam under the perfect size box for the tools

You hate them compared to how much I like them! (my apologies if you've never seen the movie Madagascar :laughing: )

Nice find. :thumbsup:

Here's a couple drawers from my production toolbox. I had to keep them organized so I could find them fast during production. My home box was (now is) nothing like that. :laughing:

I have tool boxeS full of tools of every kind, been buying them since the late 60's, early70's...

I made pouches for my wrenches out of canvas tarp material, they each have a pocket to fit into. That way I can easily grab a whole set and take them out to the job...

It's one of the smartest things I've done!

My dad had several sets of tools bundled up like that. He kept one in each car. Really handy. :thumbsup:

Neat trick for wrenches in a toolbox drawer is to take a length of 10 ga solid wire and wrap it around a large dowel rod. When done you insert wrenches in between the loops of wire. Works great and you can customize it for your needs.

Over the years I've purchased many, many sets of tools at Sears when on sale at a great discount. So today I have several pieces of each socket, wrench, etc. but the one I need for the job I'm doing.

I have a Kentucky fried Chicken bucket full of sockets American and Metric. Now with all those sockets I searched and searched and could not find a 16mm socket. My dear wife went out and bout me a 16mm socket for Father's day.

I saw this I may just have to breakdown and sort my stuff out.

Nice assortment of oil wrenches.... but ive been using the same strap oil wrench for 20 years. Only found 1 filter it wouldnt work on....my kioti hydraulic oil filter (original). It works on all filters i have installed. looks kinda like this

My oil wrench is a steel band and handle, nothing that fancy. I love my tools, and I can tell you where about 40% of them are right now. That number goes up to 80% if i hit a 5' radius.

I don't have a toolbox, I have a toolgarage. No way my tools can fit in any container.
