Topic: The most pristine tool in your toolbox

[Redman]

  I have a 19/32 box wrench and socket that have never seen a nut or a bolt. One of these days I`ll find something that they fit.

      Ha! Ha! I hear ya. Isn't there also another one, like maybe a 25/32 too?

I use mine for a lever on my 3/4 combination wrench when loosening the bolts on my wheels put on by some moron with an air wrench.


The socket has seen lots of use driving in 5/8 od lip seals and bearings.

the one I polish every night   , how do you think I lost my eyesight

my 15mm combination wrench..

 That and a tool I made to take the Indian Gas and Oil caps off a 101 Scout tank.. no sense in buggering the knurling.. worked perfect..

[mark]

I don't think the 9mm sockets/wrenches have seen much use.

Best tool in my box!! never leave home with out it!! lol

[Redman]

You guys are a riot. I did read somewhere that this size would fit the oil drain plug on a Crosley. Maybe they would fit the valve cover nuts on an old y-block.

You could always use it as a hammer or pry bar like the rest of us do.

My 1" drive impact gun and socket set.

Not sure why I even bought them. 

[kghost]

My Boxes (plural as theres a roll around metric box and a Standard box) are a mess.

My tools are worn and used. Sometimes theres grease and stains on them.

They are not all name brand or shiney.

But my bikes are clean, pretty, and run perfectly

Are you saying you never use 'em!?!

[bucky katt]

7mm combination wrench. it's never been used.

[CycleRanger]

The 24mm socket I bought to remove the bolt holding the harmonic balancer on my Nissan truck engine.
I used it both times I changed the timing belt. 

[Steve F]

That brand new circuit tester that has the aligator clip on one end and a needle tip on the other.  Seemed like I could use it someday and that was 5 years ago.  Just HAD to buy it.

[Terry in Australia]

My new 200 amp AC/DC Tig welder. I got it for my 50th birthday last week and haven't taken it out of the box yet because I bought another CB750 on Saturday and I've been trying to get it back on the road. No biggie, it'll still be there when I need it........ 

[Grnrngr]

Not in my box, but I bought a tile cutter about 10 yrs ago when we were thinking of tileing the bathroom floor...never did and the cutter is still in the wrapper....got some air tools not quite as old, still in the pack, that I bought right before the compressor crapped out...

I am just waiting for one of the girls to make a joke about their "toolbox".........................................

7mm combination wrench. it's never been used.

Ditto here. Also someone gave me one of those bendy allen wrenches for adjusting the dwell on a GM V-8 distributor... never had the occasion to use it.

[Kframe]

I've got a metric socket set that has some half sizes.
I don't think I've ever found anything that takes a 5.5, 6.5, or 7.5mm.
Weird.

[Laminar]

I bought a set of ratcheting wrenches a while back. I keep trying to use them but normal wrenches are so much more handy and compact.

[Bob Wessner]

My left-hand screw driver. 

[754]

Kframe, them are probably for ignition work, you know those sproingy things.. That or for electronics..

[domer]

a god damn $30 oil pressure sensor socket. something like 23mm, but has rounded corners.it never made a full turn on the wrench, and will probably never see the light of day again... #$%*in prelude...
