r/Tools

Scored this for 5 bucks at the Habitat For Humanity Re-Store. I went in to get and old file for a project and to pick up the huge box of Fine Woodworking magazines that's been sitting there for a year. Sadly, someone got that last week for ten bucks, and I couldn't find a file, but I'm happy with this! It'll go in my dutch tool chest with my hand old woodworking tools, it works great and just needed a little cleaning up.

Any body else out there using these?

E: looks like autoincorrect done me dirty on the title

Got my new ratchets in the mail today! First Tektons I've owned, and first flex heads (with the exception of the HF meme tool). Scored on Amazon deal days with a 25% off coupon. Came to just over $72! They feel great and will be a nice upgrade from the Craftsman 36 tooth ratchets I've been rocking since the 90s. I can't wait to put them to work. Cheers!

I will be keeping some for personal use but want to know what to re-sell here. Thanks!

I just got back from my local Lowe's and was surprised to see a bunch of Grizzly benchtop tools where Kobalt and Skil stuff used to be. I can't find any mention of these coming to stores online, and weirdly the website doesn't show them in stock at my location either. The employee I talked to knew nothing about them and had never even heard of Grizzly. Pretty interesting to see though, Grizzly's not exactly high end but their stuff is probably better than anything I've seen in this category at big box hardware stores previously.

Found this at Walmart. It even has still attachment rails on the side. This isn't an advertisement or anything crazy like that I'm just super surprised. I wish this was around when I was young.

Was looking for a tool box on market place, didn’t want to spend a lot, didn’t want to travel far to get it. Saw this for sale 2 miles from my house, at a reasonable price. Arranged to meet the gentleman to pick it up. By the time we met, it was dark and staring to rain. The box was outside under a tarp. It looked rough, the draws did not work well, but I liked the draw configuration. I offered him half what he wanted, and he was happy. When I got the box home, it was much worse condition than it appeared with my flash light. I spent much more time than I wanted yo fix it, plus bought lots of spray paint, wire wheels, sanding pads,etc.. had to remove and wire wheel every draw slide, and the the receiver tracks on the draws and box. It seems to be working well now, glad it’s done

Finally picked up my first Bosch Professional hand tools.
I’ve been building out my Bosch Professional 18V setup lately, so I figured I might as well start matching the hand tools too.
First impressions are pretty good they feel solid and I actually really like the design. Curious to see how they hold up with proper use.
Anyone here been using Bosch hand tools for a while? Any particular ones you’d recommend adding next?

My brother made my weekend on a Friday morning.

So I bought an old rolling toolbox for cheap, and it came with a bunch of tools. I am keeping some tools that could be useful and that I don't already have, but others I'm debating whether I should keep them or sell them. There was a decent amount of old Snap-On tools for example, but some of them were used and abused by the previous owner(s), the chrome is flaked and some socket/wrench sizes are missing. Also I already have complete sets of sockets and wrenches (way cheaper, but does the job for me as a DIYer), and 90% of the time I find myself using metric tools whereas the Snap-On tools are all SAE. What would you do? Keep? Sell?

By the way, I never understood the hype for overpriced tools, but I'll admit that they feel kinda cool. I’m just torn because I think they might still sell for a good amount and I could use the money to buy other tools or even another used toolbox.

Saw some videos of people saying the bits that go here are a bit longer, so just wondering if I have to buy specials bits if I was to get this?

Was helping a buddy clean out and old toolbox he had inherited and found some oddball wrenches that I had atleast never seen before the showa is a 25/32 and 13/16 combo, the multi wrench looks to me like it hates everyone's knuckles but it was to odd to to take home and the craftsman is an unlabled size but fit right in with this odd bunch

Anyone willing to provide some insight on what price I should list these things for? Up in Anchorage, Alaska

Someone asked for a "family photo" the other day. This isn't all of them, I have some at work that get used.

Yes. I have a problem. No, I won't change. 😂

I'm prepared to toss it, unless someone knows a good use for it that hasn't occurred to me yet.
