Tool porn

I call it Record because that's what's written on the side. I associate Irwin with the newer vices, but you might be right.

Tetris time.

Rear shock

Tote is nearly done, waiting for a new (smaller!) tape measure.

Also for removing oil filters...

Now there’s a thing to bring back memories. Anyone else do Technical Drawing at school? Loved it.

Ah of course

I like that grease syringe, red? Rubber grease?

Yes, of course.

Oh cool, in a professional capacity?

Yes

Nice. I've been dipping my toes into some e bike stuff. It's the reason I've been spending more time looking at tools recently, which is where I got lost in the almost endless offerings of japanese pliers and so on.

I have some interest in getting to know motorcycles better. Mostly because a friend has dumped an almost working one in my garage and flown (strange word) to live elsewhere and leave me with the task!

A great set of tools should start from motors tools, Snap On, Mac, Beta, etc; and use Park Toll only for more specific bicycle necessities.

Motorcycle thread then.

I had (well, have) a lot of Park Tool stuff but it’s being replaced with Wera, PB Swiss, Knippex, Wolfs Tooth and Abbey.

That grease syringe is from Radar Labs

I have to decide yet if I attempt to fix it, or get some help with that. Maybe above my head 🤷🏽‍♂️

I'll join the thread 😊

And some Silverline to maintain the balance

Knipex best cutting tools ever.

Yep, if it works…

How do you cut the foam away without going all the way through?

Have you found a good tutorial for this or winging it?

Measure thrice?

I'm really liking that green every time I'd see it, might copy you on the foam when I build my set.

In my experience, he will return to find an almost complete collection of motorcycle parts in boxes. This applies whether he's gone for one year or fifty.
