happiness is more hand tools - part 1

 

For someone who does everything himself I have significant collection of tools of all sort. However I generally only buy what I must have to solve a new problem. Up until now I rely on a $12 Harbor Freight 1/2" torque wrench even for most of my track cars. I do have a 3/4" Made in USA torque wrench for the single lug nut center hub race cars as they required torque of 250 lb-ft.

descaling tool for boilers

In order to protect my investment in multitude of boilers I invested in these few pieces of tool to perform routine descaling. The easiest set up is a small sump pump, a 5 gallon bucket, and a pair of washing machine hoses.
