New tool thread

decided to get a small 2-liter co2 tank as well to make this portable setup.

php 1850 or around usd32

a 2L tank can hold about 3lbs of co2 which expands to around 600 liters of gas. if you MIG weld at a low 3 liters per minute you can weld for 200 minutes?

Gearwrench 1/2" swivel sockets. Thought it was a good deal at $71.

Bought this solely to hammer out front diff bushings on an Infiniti G37. Either this or the 34mm I already have. You know, 220, 221, whatever it takes.

Nice Mr. Mom reference.. for those who don't know.. Mr Mom was a movie starring Michael Keaton in the 80s, it's about guy who loses his job, becomes a stay at home dad, while the wife goes to work. 220 or 221 is what he said when asked about renovating part of the house's wiring changing the standard voltage.. lol..

and to @PKFan nice quality socket!

Mr. Mom has one of my favorite movie exchanges:

Keaton: Want a beer?
Martin Mull: It's 7:00 in the morning.
Keaton: <pause> Scotch?

Classic. The clowns and I would do that one at work, like clock work.

Tekton 26MM 1/2 socket, ground it down to make it short and thin walled to remove and plug a tractor hydraulic valve. I ended up cutting away part of a minor frame anyway. The mutilated socket worked great.

Gotta clean and/or replace the rear brakes on the Matrix when my daughter comes home for spring break. I had this same tool set years ago but got rid of it when I sold my last car with drum brakes; at the time i thought i would never again need to do drums...

I bought some exhaust hanger pliers (Workpro), even though we didn't think we'd need to remove the exhaust on my son's Infiniti G37 to drop the rear diff. I'm glad I did, as the diff was indeed wider than the gap between the pipes and the exhaust needed to come out after all. That was $11 well spent.

Love the ingenuity! Why wait for a factory socket? Save time and money!

Exactly, sometimes to do what you have to do. I still have a ground down small socket ( i cant remember the size, maybe 5.5mm, i cant tell, its ground off.) that i ground down to remove saturn steering wheel parts. I bet @The_Jeff probably has one too !

I think anyone that ever worked on older Fords had a ground/turned 5.5mm deep TFI socket.

Yep, I still have mine. My brother spun it on his lathe for me to make it fit.
