The tool/organization nerd in my loved this video. I've gone from toolboxes to pegboard in the last few years...gotta love having everything visible at all times. I also apply the 'One Layer' rule to my garage and keep everything in a place where it is visible/accessible at all times.
Going through a shop reorganizing process myself and I think I may throw something like this together. Probably will add a power strip to the bottom and some kind of cable management/hangers for angle grinders and such.
I first heard Adam mention first order retrievability a few years ago, and it has stuck with me ever since. It makes working on something soo much faster, and you don't hesitate on starting a new project because you don't have to dread spending a lot of time digging up all the tools you need. More videos like this please.
Hey Adam, I love the tool shelf vice drawers! Drawers have always been an issue for me. One tip: If you store your sharpies point-side down instead of point-side up like you have them, they will last much longer. Just spray paint the other ends so you know what color they are.
One thing I love about Adam’s shop is you can tell he really uses it. It’s not a super clean, bright aesthetic thing. I tore my shop apart about a year or so ago to rewire the whole thing (previous electrical work was a nightmare and I couldn’t stand it). Everything sat on top of the workbenches all this time or in boxes and as I began to put things back I found much better ways to place things as I typically need them. I love it!
I like how Adam's made this amazingly well thought through Christmas tree of tools where everything is categorized perfectly and easily accessible, then shows a plastic fork amongst it...
I'd bet that disposable plastic forks are used often by him. It is great to have a tool to get in and pick at something that will get gummed up and ruined that you can then throw away.
I'm a retired sheetmetal worker. I know lots about working sheetmetal. My hobby is blade making, when I look at your projects their multi trade multi skill. You must have a whole box full of engineering degrees. I can only wish I had your across the board knowledge. You rock!
Adam... I've spent 30+yrs as a technician and finally have found someone as tool obsessed... And generally obsessed (I wear my OCD flag with pride) as I. Congratulations and thanks! You've shown some of my tricks and a lot more. When I worked in a multi person shop and had to keep my stuff protected and safe from evil doers, drawers were the thing. Now that I'm in my private shop... F- DRAWERS!!!
At 10:16, not a brayer but a j-roller. A brayer is used to apply ink to printing plates (think linoleum prints). A J-roller is used to adhere formica to its substrate. The extra long handle is so you can use it two-handed and get some real leverage. That's also why the roller width is half that of a brayer.
WHHY does no one on this channel that is talking to Adam, just let him finish his thoughts? Constant interrupting and trying to finish his sentences. Just let the man talk. Ask a question, let him finish the answer.
Yes, a bit frustrating from an audience perspective. They just have bad social interaction skills, and honestly I'm surprised they're hosts. I have this issue to a small degree, but then again, I'd never accept a hosting position.
I feel like they know something we dont, and that Adam may be a long winded kind of person. They (including him) may be used to this and it's only frustrating for us. Surely it accelerates video editing time. Let's face it, nobody wants to be stuck editing video for longer than they need to when one can be working with Adam and his crew of awesome people.
Sprint316 I kinda think they're trying to act like they know what he talking about, and trying to finish Adams thoughts to show Adam that they like the same things and have a knowledge of the same things Brown nosing lol
that ADHD haha, love it! I have it too and I appreciate him speaking at a speed I can understand and not too slow. of course people are different and there's a need for both :)
Tell me that I'm not the only one who gets a little thrill when Adam Savage uses the exact same tool as I do. I see several exact duplicates from my tool selection on that cart, and I LOVE it.
I like his design a lot. One thing I did notice, however is that it was a bit wobbly. I think some gussets in the corners would stiffen it up a bit. Not that it's meant to be manhandled but just in case it tried to roll over something that stopped the wheel(s) it'd be a shame to tweak it beyond it's stress point and have it break apart. Well done, Adam!
Is dust settling on the tools an issue? I like the tool stands, but I have endless issues with dust and humidity causing rust on anything that sits uncovered for a week or more. I may come up with a covered version of the racks though.
I feel your pain. I work in a body shop.. My tools are in closed drawers and still get covered in dust. But no its not an issue at all... Just gets your hands/clothes dusty.. But if your in a dusty environment that shouldnt be an issue..
@@geomod6850 I like to use drum liners for tarps. They're big and round. The tarps are open on the sides unless you take extra time to lash them tight. Then it's a pain to get them off. Yep drum liners that's the way to go. WD-40 is a good rust preventer. I use that on many of my tools. The downside is that it attracts dust.
Just the excitement alone in this video shows how valuable having tools readily available and having to put them back in their places just as easily is worth having it set up on a roll of weight cart like it is. It makes you want to do more projects and be productive.
You should spray glue sandpaper to the wood frame . Like 60 grit down low , and like 120 grit up high. So you always have a quick flat sanding block handy . Just a suggestion . that will look cooler too btw .
If Adam ever retires he should open up his shop as like a museum because I would pay to take a tour of it. His shop ideas are really inspiring and I always look forward to seeing what he has in mind.
I love how excited Adam gets over obscure, but life saving tools. A man after my own heart. I can use something only once every 2-3 years, and still be absolutely ecstatic about it. I used my Rigid cordless jigsaw tonight, for 2 nibble cuts in plywood. Easily been 6 years since I used it last. Better example may be the Power Probe III. ;)
awesome dude........i have a few old ladders to try that with....thinking outside the box......maybe use some slick plastic cutting board material on the bottom as skids instead of wheels......maybe less liable to tip over?
Loved Mythbusters...But Don't lie, Adam...That, is a brand new set of tools, on a brand new box frame. You didn't make it, nor has it ever been used. You might have made one, yourself, in the past...but it would never look like that, within a days of working with it. I get it, though...You got the money to be able to make the video with brand new stuff...and you actually earned it. So...I digress. Hope you enjoy working with the availability of your craftsmanship, with the ease you've earned over the years. Hope to find the comfort like that someday, myself. Keep on building, my man...You were one of those who got my ass into the free-handing building of things idea in the first place.
I've never seen an episode where Will hasn't just let the man talk. Norm is a bit better but he tends to do it too, but he's definitely way less awkward than Will too
They're so right about tools in boxes/drawers being lost. I am not much of a maker, and my workspace is just a garage, but all small hand tools are on a pegboard and larger tools on narrow shelves, so things aren't pushed behind. I can see everything and it is so much quicker!
I've been dying to see these since Adam mentioned his pyramid-shaped first-order-retrievability-type tool organization system from one of your tested podcasts. THANK YOU!!
Adam reminds me of my grandfather. He used to do these sorts of cool things for his shops. I am so happy that there are people out there that won't let the talent of creation die. You should see some of the things my Dad has made just because he needed it. He never buy's specialized tools, he makes them. :D
I have done something very similar in my work trailer only a few months ago. I got sick and tired of pulling tools out, just to out them back in some drawer or box. Adam, you can also mount your drills and other power tools this way. I will share a picture of it and edit this post of the way I did it. It saves me so much time especially when I need to clean up after a project! Here is one last thing I absolutely love to do. I bought a lot of super strong neodymium magnets, and I use them to mount some of my smaller screwdriver, and nut driver bits that I often use. You could do this along the side, or back of your tool cart by cyano gluing the magnets to the wood. -Brad
Great minds think alike! It's time for a Jimmy Diresta and Adam Savage (Tested) mash up. You both created the same project with amazing and unique variations. Combine the two and the world will explode!
I have a small 8000 sq foot shop and we found the same thing. Drawers are a place for employees to hide sins...What we found was by assigning and color coding (spray painting) sets of tools in open racks it brings organization and accountability to specific departments. Now...with one look I can see if my tools are being looked after and being kept track of. I can also see what departments are stealing tools in both good and bad senses of the word. The biggest advantage is that the tool are at arms length...even a new employee can find what he needs. The only thing we do different is we can roll the tool assemblies into enclosures that have doors so at the end of every day everything goes back in place and the area is easy to keep clean...satisfies my neat freak. Also gives us more work space for large projects
Now I see that you have made it not an organization of your tools but a presentation of just the stuff you have real tool organization would lead you to the conclusion of what you need comes first and what you don't need goes over there
I was searching the comments for a plan and feel like this comment was directed at me. Heh. I'm going to do just that now. I liked someone else's idea to make the top removable.
not sure why im watching this (started checking trucks out lol) but i realized that Adam would be such a cool teacher and youd learn alot from him building something!
w0mbles normally i'd agree with you, but when it comes to a video like this about someone else showing off and explaining what they did, it can strike people as interrupting. would you trade a personal anecdote for a trenchant question? i'm sure plenty of non-jealous people choose the latter.
Tiit Saul If you let adam just talk, they'd have 3 days footage before they knew it. They have to appeal this to all audiences not just the people who could watch him for 3 days talking about some stands . Some things norm butted in on helps break it up.
Well that’s really the best someone like adam Savage showing us how he does use his tools and built his Things, I really love to see all of his Tools and tool shop and him explaining how to built certain things, I can really learn a lot from this, it is the same as looking over the shoulder of a really experienced computer expert using Linux or unix for instance, you can really pick up new tricks and learn something from it...Thanks for this !!!
I love those Makita drivers as well. I'm a firefighter, and things around the firehouse are contantly breaking (because we are big, dumb animals). I keep a tool bag in my car with those small drivers and they are AWESOME. My fellow firefighters have duplicated the setup after using them.
I wish there was a video of him making one of these. I like seeing Adam making things for a more efficient work space. It's very satisfying. Don't know if you guys are looking for ideas for content but pick me! Lol
Tim Calvin Color grading seems to be the issue. As the camera records in S or V log which is a flat profile. Possibly a rush job to produce more content.
Looks like the main cam is an ungraded (or badly graded) sony and the b cam is a canon. It doesn't cut well and is distracting! Pity as it's a good video all the same.
1:07 That bright metal tool in the middle with the round tip is called a double-action liston bone cutter. It's a surgical instrument used for cutting small bones like metatarsals or metacarpals (toes and fingers and such). Probably costs around $300.
Also have a full 18v DeWitt set for woodworking, and cheapo Black N Decker drills for the low torque work, mixing drills, etc. Those clamping pliers also come in vice locks for welding/auto work for about 5 bucks a pop.
I get the feeling that interviewer is a massive poser when it come to tools. Constantly pulling the old 'i'll try to finish your sentence once I've figured out what your talking about.'
Those "handheld metal brake" pliers are readily available at Harbor Freight in the Welding section. And the sizes of CA glue he says are hard to find are really easy to find at a well-equipped, dedicated hobby or R/C shop. Us balsa-gluers go through the stuff like nobodies business (foam-safe CA too!) ps- for those looking for the CA-glue "kicker", it's often referred to as "Accelerator" or "insta-Set". Wanna make a quick holder that does a similar job if you have a mechanic's tool service cart? Buy 1"x1" aluminum square tubing and drill holes through it of various sizes for any and all things (great for organizing ratchet extensions and screwdrivers).
if Adam makes another stand much like his "Pliers" stand, i REALLY would like to see that as a "one day build". i would love to be able to make something like this. i might not use it for pliers but in a shop (both automechanic and woodworking) it would be very useful. if not just for open, convenient storage, making a roll-around for "in progress" jobs, rather than digging through the tool cluttered cart for that ONE screwdriver you had 15 minutes ago.
"First-order retrievability" Thank you for giving me a word for this. My dad prefers to maximize space, which means digging through boxes for 10 minutes to find the right tool or the right box of screws. Now I can explain first-order retrievability better.
Adam you are a master builder. I can only dream. You for sure have a unlimited budget compare to the lay builder which is a big plus. Thanks for sharing. Love your channel !
I need a tool rack like this!! I do miniature work and leather work. The sheer number of small hand tools I have is nuts. As an artist, a tabletop version could hold pencils, brushes, calligraphy tools, drafting tools, paints, inks, and so much more. Adam, they say "find a niche and fill it", well I'd rather clean out my niches and rack them up where I can find them! Please consider either marketing this rack with some options, or tell me where to get some diagrams! Please!
Rob Jeffrey hey you get outta here with your logic! Nah jk, but I'm sure there would be some mechanics or whatever that haven't thought about this, and would want one.
Rob Jeffrey "There tools"? Where tools? I don't get it. If someone isn't capable of not making a mistake in their sentence, then they should give away all of their keyboards. I could use a new one... >:P
Fantastic idea, I always hated drawers 😅, I do make my own workbench, it's still in progress, but I use aluminum profiles, so I can expand when needed I do also make a retractable phone stand mounted to my window grill so I can watch ur vids before going to sleep 😬 Big fan of ur work, since the days of mythbusters, keep up the good work and inspiring others in craftsmanship 👍
Or screwing an important screw in a confined space Or spray painting newly made project and trying to make it look exactly like the original, u get a sneeze, a very bad stomache, an itchy eye, scalp or someone screaming for to eat dinner or repair their shit
Adam thanx I just happen to have been going the " F the drawers " way when I came upon your video and it was a major help my friend. Thanx again from Ocean City, NJ.
Drawers are not a place where tools go to die. No tool, no matter how old or sick, goes willingly into a drawer. Drawers are a place where tools are thrown to experience a new level of pain as they are slowly digested over a thousand years.
This reminds me of something I built, just a few days ago. My dust collection consisted of a shopvac and a separate collector, both on casters. I built a rolling "tower", with the vac at the top, and the collector at the bottom, but then I started adding... stuff. It actually looks a bit like your plier rack, in a way. I call it my "Turbo Tower of Power".
Adam I really like your concept of first order retrievability. If I ever wanted to build my workshop I will build it around that concept. It can be really useful if you have very little space.
So a thought, what would you think of keeping a tap and die of each type bolt or screw in the case with the size they are for? Would that speed the grab for it if needed?
OMG! Mr. Savage, Where can I purchase one of those medical staplers?!? I work on boats, there are places that no human can reach all over a boat, please where can I get one...
I bought a full set of ethicon endosurgery tools for $10@swap meet; the locking titanium truly needle nosed pliers are very handy and surprisingly complicated with their multilink jaws- fits easily down drinking straws with jaws shut, but shafts don't flex whatsoever
Abe Lincoln s working on boat wiring and plumbing upgrades, i found usb borescopes, crochet hooks that could be rebent (not aluminum or plastic) and those crescent extended needle noses( after some grinding) worked better for the amount of grip I needed with 5200 slopped upon wires and fasteners. Also, buy cheap bolt cutters and grinder the jaws into whatever esoteric bank breaking tool you need, like a crimper. They all will either sink some day or rust up anyways and making new tools periodically makes the job more fun. Get a vacuum with a long bendable snout.and put a course filter net in between it and vac hose to grab non magnetic boat fasteners that fall and sawdust extraction. Marinade injectors help epoxy application.
Adam Savage shows off one of the most important parts of his workshop: his tool boxes: th-cam.com/video/1OPSbF6kM9k/w-d-xo.html
Is there a blueprint available to make the this stand so we're not starting from scratch?? Thanks
specialforcesnavy did you find the plans?
shandilalala sure didn’t
Have you sent the Ridgid Job Max right angle impact driver? Much smaller profile than that RA drill. Only for hex shaft bits, but still...
Do you have the part number for the stapler. Can't find it anywhere.
this is so therapeutic or something
im so chilled out and calm with how organized Adam is

It's true. I fought it, because I like to see the cap color, but there's no doubt they last MUCH longer cap/point down.

As a mobile locksmith with a small vehicle this is the kind of thinking that will make my life easier and my business more profitable. Thanks Adam.

You would have a real life iron man suit lol
Good point, though Adam never disappoints!
It would likely work
you are about 3 yr too early, look at the first episode of his new show savage build
Welp, we found out xD
Absolutely, spent more time thinking about it than the actual construction and it shows. Amazing cart and a very LEAN design concept. LOVE IT!

Hey Adam, Any chance I could get the measurements or design plans for that tool rack? I would love to get rid of my draws.
take a damn screen shot and use some common sense!!!!
I was searching the comments for a plan and feel like this comment was directed at me. Heh. I'm going to do just that now. I liked someone else's idea to make the top removable.

If you cant get your hands on one of those medical stapler thingys he showed, get a pistol grip fish hook remover
thank YOU ,,I have been looking for some thing to go down into my sparkplug hole to pick up a washer that fell in ..that is going to do the trick!!!!
deepsquat600 That is exactly what i used mine for!!! I found mine at Gander Mtn. on sale for 5$ and knew it would be perfect.
Ebay. Laparoscopic surgical instruments
Make friends with a surgical nurse. Hospitals use those, and many other tools, once and then throw them away.
Thanks internet guru
This is my favorite video on TH-cam. I have watched it like 6 times
PLEASE stop intrrupting. Let Adam talk.
Tiit Saul he has a bad habit of relating a lot of things to himself instead of letting the other person talk. he'll grow out of it.
w0mbles normally i'd agree with you, but when it comes to a video like this about someone else showing off and explaining what they did, it can strike people as interrupting. would you trade a personal anecdote for a trenchant question? i'm sure plenty of non-jealous people choose the latter.
*****
Stainless screws........
Tiit Saul If you let adam just talk, they'd have 3 days footage before they knew it. They have to appeal this to all audiences not just the people who could watch him for 3 days talking about some stands . Some things norm butted in on helps break it up.
w0mbles Will and Norm are amazing. These people hating on them should go to another channel
Adam, you always amaze me with your genius.
Adam should of demonstrated how the fast dry glue works on Will's lips. It would of went to a 14 minute video to a 3 minute video.
Well that’s really the best someone like adam Savage showing us how he does use his tools and built his Things, I really love to see all of his Tools and tool shop and him explaining how to built certain things, I can really learn a lot from this, it is the same as looking over the shoulder of a really experienced computer expert using Linux or unix for instance, you can really pick up new tricks and learn something from it...Thanks for this !!!
I love those Makita drivers as well. I'm a firefighter, and things around the firehouse are contantly breaking (because we are big, dumb animals). I keep a tool bag in my car with those small drivers and they are AWESOME. My fellow firefighters have duplicated the setup after using them.
***** It could be that when he says "firefighter" he's a fighter who uses fire?
RuffneckRaven Liu Kang?
***** If you like fire to an irresponsible degree, you either start fires, or become a fire fighter.
+NerdishAzn The 10.8v. They have more power and torque than you would think.
I can't finish this video because of this absolute lad of a host.
Tested Any chance you could release a set of designs in sketchup or something?
Even just basic measurements would be great! I am going to make one for sure.
+Brian Hiatt This is why we learned algebra in school, people.
+nzlemming judging by the video and taking adam's height into account, the stand is 12 feet high.
"I spent more time thinking about it than building it" - Adam. Things always go better that way! Good job.
Does anyone know what model are those Knipex at 3:42?
I wish there was a video of him making one of these. I like seeing Adam making things for a more efficient work space. It's very satisfying. Don't know if you guys are looking for ideas for content but pick me! Lol
Does the color balance seem off to anyone else?
Tim Calvin Perhaps the white balance couldn't cope with two pale ginger guys wearing blueish clothes.
Tim Calvin Color grading seems to be the issue. As the camera records in S or V log which is a flat profile. Possibly a rush job to produce more content.
Looks like the main cam is an ungraded (or badly graded) sony and the b cam is a canon. It doesn't cut well and is distracting! Pity as it's a good video all the same.
CreatureOTNight If they did in fact shoot log, they probably just applied a generic LUT.
Tim Calvin Sudden outbreak of jaundice in the Tested office, perhaps.
1:07 That bright metal tool in the middle with the round tip is called a double-action liston bone cutter. It's a surgical instrument used for cutting small bones like metatarsals or metacarpals (toes and fingers and such). Probably costs around $300.
More like $24 on eBay these days.
Adam, that cart rocks. Very well thought out and executed
Adam Savage is my hero
"I reject reality and substitute my own"
Adam is such a geek when talking tools but a very interesting guy and a genius and very warm hearted person :)
1:44 - Will, trying to sound like he knows more than jack shit, and fails, whilst interrupting Adam's train of thought. Typical.
Also have a full 18v DeWitt set for woodworking, and cheapo Black N Decker drills for the low torque work, mixing drills, etc.
Those clamping pliers also come in vice locks for welding/auto work for about 5 bucks a pop.
Adam, you ought to keep your CA Glue in a fridge. I do and it lasts 12 to 24 months at least.
Good to see Lean Manufacturing Techniques in action!!
absolutely love it. definitely making one
I'm am auto mechanic and I love those 12v makita impact drivers. one of my most used tools and they actually are pretty powerful
I don't make negative comments. But Adam could have described all this himself. The side kick got on my nerves with the always obvious remarks. Yuck!
I get so many great ideas watching these.
I get the feeling that interviewer is a massive poser when it come to tools. Constantly pulling the old 'i'll try to finish your sentence once I've figured out what your talking about.'
Those "handheld metal brake" pliers are readily available at Harbor Freight in the Welding section. And the sizes of CA glue he says are hard to find are really easy to find at a well-equipped, dedicated hobby or R/C shop. Us balsa-gluers go through the stuff like nobodies business (foam-safe CA too!)
ps- for those looking for the CA-glue "kicker", it's often referred to as "Accelerator" or "insta-Set". Wanna make a quick holder that does a similar job if you have a mechanic's tool service cart? Buy 1"x1" aluminum square tubing and drill holes through it of various sizes for any and all things (great for organizing ratchet extensions and screwdrivers).
If Adam wasn’t so interesting and inspiring, I would skip every video this guy is in!
I love this! I’m a tool nut, like a lot of people watching this, and this gave me a lot of great ideas! 👍
How could you not have said "It wasn't a Permanent Marker"
if Adam makes another stand much like his "Pliers" stand, i REALLY would like to see that as a "one day build". i would love to be able to make something like this. i might not use it for pliers but in a shop (both automechanic and woodworking) it would be very useful. if not just for open, convenient storage, making a roll-around for "in progress" jobs, rather than digging through the tool cluttered cart for that ONE screwdriver you had 15 minutes ago.
Love the wrack, just imagine tripping and falling into it.....at all the crap that would stick into you, then get glued down, LOL
Wrack????? WRONG!!!!!
"First-order retrievability"
Thank you for giving me a word for this. My dad prefers to maximize space, which means digging through boxes for 10 minutes to find the right tool or the right box of screws. Now I can explain first-order retrievability better.
First order retrievability.
If only retrieving traitors was so easy.
Adam you are a master builder. I can only dream. You for sure have a unlimited budget compare to the lay builder which is a big plus. Thanks for sharing. Love your channel !
When will they get interviewers that know what they're talking about
Who cares? Why would the interviewer need to know anything?
@@dcan911 to make a good interview
@@irongreek7722 but then what would you moan about?
@@dcan911 something else
It was annoying me too
I need a tool rack like this!! I do miniature work and leather work. The sheer number of small hand tools I have is nuts. As an artist, a tabletop version could hold pencils, brushes, calligraphy tools, drafting tools, paints, inks, and so much more. Adam, they say "find a niche and fill it", well I'd rather clean out my niches and rack them up where I can find them! Please consider either marketing this rack with some options, or tell me where to get some diagrams! Please!
Dude Adam you need to patent that thing and sell it.
Mr_NarwhaL If someone has that many tools but isn't capable of building that stand themselves then they should give away their tools :)
Rob Jeffrey Yeah but an aluminium or plastic industrial quality one would be cool.
Rob Jeffrey hey you get outta here with your logic! Nah jk, but I'm sure there would be some mechanics or whatever that haven't thought about this, and would want one.
synical13 o shit, grape jelly, shit just got real.
Rob Jeffrey "There tools"? Where tools? I don't get it. If someone isn't capable of not making a mistake in their sentence, then they should give away all of their keyboards. I could use a new one... >:P
Fantastic idea, I always hated drawers 😅, I do make my own workbench, it's still in progress, but I use aluminum profiles, so I can expand when needed
I do also make a retractable phone stand mounted to my window grill so I can watch ur vids before going to sleep 😬
Big fan of ur work, since the days of mythbusters, keep up the good work and inspiring others in craftsmanship 👍
Handling bottles of super glue is a great time to have an itchy eye, 7:37
Or screwing an important screw in a confined space
Or spray painting newly made project and trying to make it look exactly like the original, u get a sneeze, a very bad stomache, an itchy eye, scalp or someone screaming for to eat dinner or repair their shit
Adam thanx I just happen to have been going the " F the drawers " way when I came upon your video and it was a major help my friend. Thanx again from Ocean City, NJ.
Drawers are not a place where tools go to die. No tool, no matter how old or sick, goes willingly into a drawer. Drawers are a place where tools are thrown to experience a new level of pain as they are slowly digested over a thousand years.

Hehe
This reminds me of something I built, just a few days ago. My dust collection consisted of a shopvac and a separate collector, both on casters. I built a rolling "tower", with the vac at the top, and the collector at the bottom, but then I started adding... stuff. It actually looks a bit like your plier rack, in a way. I call it my "Turbo Tower of Power".
Cut piano wire all day.... Something an Assassin would say
47 might like that tool 😂
Adam I really like your concept of first order retrievability. If I ever wanted to build my workshop I will build it around that concept. It can be really useful if you have very little space.
To improve my first order retreivability, I need your workshop address...
The hand brake you talked about works great for snapping small sections on plastic after scoring.
Again... Will... be quiet and sit in the corner while the adult is talking.
Get a bigger shirt to.
So a thought, what would you think of keeping a tap and die of each type bolt or screw in the case with the size they are for? Would that speed the grab for it if needed?
OMG! Mr. Savage, Where can I purchase one of those medical staplers?!?
I work on boats, there are places that no human can reach all over a boat, please where can I get one...
666Tomato666 Of course! why didn't i think of that?
Thank You
I bought a full set of ethicon endosurgery tools for $10@swap meet; the locking titanium truly needle nosed pliers are very handy and surprisingly complicated with their multilink jaws- fits easily down drinking straws with jaws shut, but shafts don't flex whatsoever
Abe Lincoln s working on boat wiring and plumbing upgrades, i found usb borescopes, crochet hooks that could be rebent (not aluminum or plastic) and those crescent extended needle noses( after some grinding) worked better for the amount of grip I needed with 5200 slopped upon wires and fasteners. Also, buy cheap bolt cutters and grinder the jaws into whatever esoteric bank breaking tool you need, like a crimper. They all will either sink some day or rust up anyways and making new tools periodically makes the job more fun.
Get a vacuum with a long bendable snout.and put a course filter net in between it and vac hose to grab non magnetic boat fasteners that fall and sawdust extraction.
Marinade injectors help epoxy application.
Great video. I like to nail tool belt pouches to the wall around my work area. They work well for jamming a bunch of tools in.
