Tools, (Neat, Handy, Odd, Old, Favorite, and Unusual)

I bought one at a garage sale for 50 cents...use it almost every day.

You can't go wrong with a genuine Starrett tool.

A deburring tool for quickly removing burs from drilled or sharp-edged holes. There are many brands, and they are inexpensive.

Thanks for posting this. I just bought the countersink deburring tool since i drill a lot of holes in metals. I know this will work also. watched a video.
For $10 plus extra blades may get this down the road.

I did not know the british made tractors

I bought one of the original Mr Funnels. My long term opinion is that it does not work after the first half dozen uses. Fuel with ethanol or isopropyl pulls the water right through,

I believe this one was made in Kentucky. If you are referring to the two pedals on the right-hand side, they are independent rear brakes. Normally they are locked together but if you unlock them and stand on one of the rear brakes, the tractor will make a tight turn to that side.
The British did make the International B275 model I believe.

Nice info.
It is a reference to leaking oil.
Same reason why little computer industry.

Made a tool today out of necessity.

Had to replace a broken steering lever on a Honda HSS928 snowblower. To remove the cable you have to push in the two tabs thru too tiny holes at 90 degree angles. There is no tool for this and Honda does not make a tool for this. I was able to depress the tabs from inside with a small flat screwdriver to remove the cable.

The problem is you can not do this if the lever is intact and you just need to replace/remove a cable.

I don't have a picture but i just used a tweezer and bent the ends inward at right angles for each end. You can push in tabs at same time with this.

I think what you are describing are snap ring pliers. The set I have are made by Channellock.

no. unless they make snap ring pliers where the ends are pointed inward towards each other at 90 degrees. looked all over.

I have a set of these. I swear i have a set of inward pointing pliers. I am certain, let me go get them. Oh yeah no. Darn. I could have sworn i had a set with my various ones. But nope. I would have bet on it. Searched. Same.

Hey , that may work if I filed down the ends a little to fit into those tiny holes.
Thanks.
