[Closed] Decent Tools

chestercopperpot · 2018-01-16T23:03:16Z

Just been reminded how much I like Teng 1/2 inch drive sockets. After hanging off their basic ratchet wrench, with a three foot scaff bar and using my foot on said scaff bar, in a confined space to move seized bolts 1/8th of a turn at a time :lol: Good 12 point sockets which are strong as and a snug fit. Always seem to get the worst most seized bolts out without damage, as long as the bolt head can stand it! The only tool I broke was some cheapo 22 mm open end spanner who's jaw sheared off. The 3 foot scaff bar slid over it probably pushed it beyond it's design spec though :oops:

Heh, my motorbike's carbs had JIS screws. Really soft JIS screws. I always assumed it was Mikuni's revenge for Hiroshima.

Nah, they were invented for the benefit of Japanese/Honda technicians

Customer : "dunno what's wrong with it?, it just started playing up for no reason whatsoever"

Honda technician : "you've been ****ing about with this again haven't you"
