The Shop and Tools

Tools that I regularly use or have constructed to complete various projects.

The Vise

The Workhorse of my shop. This was left on my driveway 20 years ago by my kind hearted neighbor who thought I could use it. (I discovered by tripping over it in the dark). I use this for everything from pressing bushings and universals to welding. I joke with Trevor that I want to be buried with it so I can continue to use it in heaven to fix stuff.

Wrenches

I have a few sets of Craftsman ratcheting box wrenches that are my go-to when working on my cars. Line wrenches, box wrenches are also staples in my tool box.

Pliers

My pliers have pliers! Inherited, purchased, and found, the drawer is full of linesman, needle-nose, and locking sets. The few cool ones are the aviation twist-tie pliers (use with stainless 1mm x 9.1m / 19 gauge 30ft), hemostat, and reverse pliers.
