jeepwm69 7,619 Posted December 5, 2022 Looks like something @shadetree needs since he gets everything completely polished up when he does a rebuild. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fishfiles 20,145 Posted December 15, 2022 It says 6-8 , maybe one side is inch and the other metric , LOL ----- Crescent is a very good brand >>>>> can't say for sure , but I think they are the original first crescent wrench 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But it's a johndeere issue.... I'll see if i can find a pic...Been told it's a very rare collectors edition, but it's in my tool chest.... No idea how much it's worth, but i ain't selling it... Besides it's got it's battle scars... you can get a regular diamond brand (old school) same lenght etc... And the johndeere issue is much thicker, and I've never had that wrench loosen or round a hex off, when others will, plus skin the ol knuckles... It's not a black oxide type has johndeere stamped on one side and diamond etc on the other. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SailRedemption 133 Posted December 17, 2022 12 hours ago, Fishfiles said: Here is a trick some of you'll might not know Problem with that though is the new drivers like that brand are trash and the tips wouldn't hold up. I didn't know about the socket and weren't but I use a wrench or crescent on the square shaft ones at times. My big craftsman and cobalt flatheads all have warped tips because they are crap metal.. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I could have used that yesterday on the storm door..... Too cold for me to break out the air tools or drill set..... Besides the extra time it cost me allowed me to wrench again plus think un disturbed.... work smart and hard (thumbs up) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

toodeep 1,758 Posted December 20, 2022 Not a real common sight in my shop but the kids car was parked in the wrong direction so all the duct work filled with snow during this.last blizzard. If the blower motor wasn't froze solid I would have never known. The new lift I had to get makes it a lot nicer working on everything compared to my old atv only lift. I've been putting off replacing the window regulator but since it's in the shop, warmed up and at working height I might as well get that done tonight too. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's a disaster area right now but usually its clean and organized. I find I get more work done if I'm not searching for tools, even though as soon as I set one down I'm searching for it. 😀 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_Wilson_™ 6,567 Posted December 29, 2022 I might have every type .... Lol! I don't know but out of all these the biggest impact model works best at clearing zerk fittings, but i snapped a few angled zerks off with it.... I've had success from each one, both impact models can be packed with grease, or a liquid solvent...... The needle injector works really good on ball joint boots t-joint cup seals.... Basically any part that doesn't come with zerk yet has a rubber seal, boot etc where a very small hole won't matter....i never use any one that punches a hole in a rubber part thats also going to see alot of water mud etc etc..... I alway try and go between the rubber and metal with that needle.....I've had people tell me oh those don't extend the life or make things work smoother... And that's total BS.... They do work, and work good.... We hardly ever had tie rod ends issues once i got that bad boy ...saved no telling how much money... Just in parts... But also less strain on the complete steering system ware due to dry sockets. Kinze planter road wheel hinge points were the most troublesome ones about plugging in a very short time... That red impact took care of those most of the time... And they screw straight in so you could get a good heavy knock on those. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have something like the needle on the far right, that I can tuck up under the boots on ball joints and tie rod ends. That red one looks neat. I'll have to see if the old man has one. If not, it will get added to the wish list. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_Wilson_™ 6,567 Posted December 29, 2022 Oh !!!! My bad ..... That red sucker came from shoup farm supply ....
