 Dave it is an inch..  so the top is about 400 lbs. Can definitely  drill and tap into it..

 A friend has a machine shop, he makes fab tables with the drilled holes to accept the clamps and fixtures you can buy, hot hands or something like that. I have a chassis table in mind that uses several of those at intervals that may be moved to build dragster chassis.
 This guy made his own planishing hammer and English wheel from 1/2" plate about a 3 1/2' throat. Very talented, I'll admit to being slightly envious.

Not quite a Motorcycle must have, but a shop must have.

When your more declarative and Accertive "B*t:h you are coming out"
 
I would've saved a lot of aches and pains if I bought one of these as a young man?.😩

I always felt my Corded rigid 1/2 drive worked well. But this... This isnt asking it to come out. Its out or in half haha

I could have used one of those when I was younger but then I probably wouldn't have had a compressor to plug it into.

Not so much a tool, but a tip.  When performing maintenance and repairs on your bike, use the tools you carry onboard whenever possible.  That way, you can add a tool or three to your tool pouch if you find it’s really needed for roadside repairs.

Easy for me to say ‘cuz I drive a sidecar rig

I always try to do this. Going to order a set of Hozan "JIS" DIN drivers for the bike. Keep my vessels at home.
But usually I try to keep a 1/4 ratchet swivel extensions amd a 8 10 12mm socket and the corresponding wrenches.
Fuses spark plugs amd a section of fuel line in my riding backpack.
