| So I decided to make a new thread that's more on the topic of tools and garage/shop stuff. Basically just somewhere that everyone can post about tools that they have and what they're used for, and also just general things that you have in your shop that's really useful....maybe even things that aren't useful that you wouldnt recommend buying at all. Also garage organization ideas and pretty much anything shop talk or shop related. Again anyone can post so dont think your going to take over the thread or anything like that. P.S. I couldnt think of a better name at the moment so if you have a better one let me know. |

| That's a pretty neat setup there! Reminds me of Hotrod Drag Week where people put tool boxes, tires and pretty much everything they need on the back of their race car. |

Yeah, I take good care of tools. I've got some kobalt ratchet wrenches that I use pretty often. They are definitely nice to have. The kobalt ratchets are nice but the sockets are like 3 bucks a piece. |

- Well I've been using these 90 degree clamps a lot here lately and I recommend buying one or two of these if you haven't already. These are WAY better than trying to clamp whatever your working with to the table and then try to hold the square up to the part and clamp it down at the same time.

 These things are the best, especially if youre lazy like me and dont care enough to make perfect cuts. Theyre dirt cheap too. _______________________________________________ |

| Where do I get one of them there angle clamps? Do they make any other angles too? Need like an adjustable one where you can change the one side. The 90 one would be helpful pretty often though. I'd like to have some kinda exhaust pipe vise too for work. I'm sure there's something out there but I never research it. Something with cupped jaws instead of flat like a normal vise, because trying to cut exhaust pipe in a normal vise with a sawzall is a pain. It rattles loose and the vise crushes the pipe down. Especially short pieces. |

| So for my birthday I bought myself a bead roller which is pretty cool!  I've been wanting one for awhile now and I got this one on Jegs cause it was on sale. Its overall a good value for the amount of dies it comes with.   Like most of these it flexes alot and there are some things that I would like to change to make it better. So I will definitely be upgrading alot of it. I was going to just build one but the gears would have coasted more than the bead roller and finding 2 spur gears with the same outside diameter as the dies that fit a keyed shaft is hard. |
