Tools and Machines Tools I Have, But Rarely Use

Ben · 11-27-2007, 12:38 PM

So I have to keep some of my tools that I never really use for work at my house. Now I got a bigger box for work so I can take them back to work.

Tap and die set and my torx bits.

They are Matco tools. Also taking back my Power Probe II. Although I rarely use them (I haven't even used one piece of the tap and dies) it is always good to have. The torx set saved my life a couple times.

I'm jealous. My tap and die set was something cheap I picked up to solve an emergency.

The handle used to turn the taps is this super cheap affair that after having used it half a dozen times is completely useless. Next time I need to use it I'm going to have to figure out how to make a 12 pt socket work.

I have an adapter set so you can use these with a ratchet

What are those longer handled things used to turn the taps called? I should see if I can find just a good one of those. The taps I have seem to be good enough.

One of the most unused but nevertheless useful (at times) gadgets in my inventory is this.

Radio digital Tacho. 1 to 12 cylinders-2/4 stroke with an ignition pulse test function for knackered ignition leads.
