3/4 sockets also make good hydraulic press accessories!!

I turned out a 27mm socket to turn it into a brake cylinder clip installation tool. It worked great on the drum brake cylinder in my old 86 Firebird. It was a cheap socket bought for the purpose and I might use the old cheapo 3/4" socket set I have in a hydraulic press, but the 3/4" Tekton set is too nice to treat them that way.

Used with a C clamp it sure saves a lot of aggravation when installing the new brake cylinder.

Tool bench of old.

Quite the vise.

Hand cranked drill press.

Foot pedal operated chisel. For making mortise and tenants I think.

Not sure what this one was, but it's foot operated. Maybe for knocking pins out.

Anvil

Early chain saw.

Thank you power tools, my back aches looking at them.

The kid of a friend of mine found this. Has anyone seen one of these before?

I have never seen one before, but the helix inside the tool would indicate this tool transforms a vertical motion into a rotary motion. I'm wondering if this is an early lapping handle to lap engine valves?
The knurled tip might be just to bite into the valve to reduce slip. Similar to this tool.

The kid found it in an old dump that was
Eroding down the lake bank, this is common here by us.

Oil can collection stored in the radiator housing, off of a Graham Paige automobile. Circa late 1920s for the rad housing.
Graham Paige cars and truck company was later bought by Dodge.
Notice the tire plug tools in the top left of the picture.

Apparently the Graham was offered with a dust cloth for keeping it clean.

Early resistance tester using a Wheatstone bridge used on the railway system.

The four upper right hand dials are the 1000s, 100s, 10s, and 1s resistance selectors.

By warrying the resistance of the companion resistance, the value of the unknown resistor can be found.
The gage labeled V in the center is a galvanometer and will read 0 when the unknown and variable resistances are equal.

We totally take modern multitesters for granted.

* Love Project Farm. I Watch his videos before making purchase. I Love Knipex pliers . I use their regular pliers to grab a hold of something. They can pay for themselves in just a couple uses for the real hard jobs. Sometimes I go with Tekton or Gearwrench because they are also very good but not so pricey. They both have a lifetime warranty. I dont have a pro shop .

Assorted gear pullers and seal drivers.

These tools have saved me so much aggravation and skin on my knuckles.
Us old knuckle draggers have to look after the thin skin we have.

Always nice to have the correct tool for the job even when you only need it occasionally or even once a year. I learned the hard way trying to Mickey mouse a tool so it can work for me. Takes 3 times longer minimum if it works at all.

Installed a new Vevor 8 ton air assist lift cylinder on the shop crane. That sure saves a lot of hand pumping.
Had a bit of hydraulic oil in the shipping crate which worries me a little but it seems to go full stroke so I will have to keep an eye on it.

Recently changed out the summers for snow tires and was happy with my new impact driver.
It has 600 ft/lbs. of torque and makes quick work of removing and installing the lug nuts on the truck rims.
My 1/4" Dewalt impact driver simply couldn't handle the job.

I also discovered that the coating on the winter rims is plastic chrome, and not metal chrome that can be polished. Bummer.

The black areas are plastic chrome that has peeled off.

The finish peels off like the peeling on an orange. Lunch bag let down.

I look at the Milwaukee and Dewalt drill/driver kits that are in the flyers every few weeks, but haven't pulled the trigger on buying one. I do it the old fashioned way with a breaker bar and torque wrench. Might have to get the winters on next weekend.

You don't wanna go down the Milwaukee rabbit hole.....you won't be able to stop buying them. To me they are great. But I use mine almost every day.

About five years ago, i picked up a Dewalt drill and impact driver set for $120 from the Amazon. I've got to say, I've used that little quarter-inch impact for way more than i ever thought i would, especially for driving screws.

I have a couple sets of 1/4-inch to socket adapters, and use those in lieu of socket wrenches for lighter jobs.

I also switched out the three-season,tires for the winter tires on my truck and the wife's car today. No snow in the forecast, but today's 46°F will be the warmest day for the foreseeable future, so thought I'd take advantage. Anywayz, i use a breaker bar on the lugs, then the little impact to spin lugs off and on, then breaker bar to tighten lugs. I'd be afraid of over-torqueing with a larger impact, and i don't trust torque sticks.
