Non Multitools

[Fuzzbucket]

I think we're going to need a video... of podgering...

Yeah, I think you're right, I'll just ask Mrs Fuzzbucket if she'll take the child filter off the internet...

Here's my inside tool bag.  Because our garage has no direct house access, despite being attached. And I'm too lazy to walk out to my main toolbox. They're all hand tools, for quick repairs.

First pic is the bag itself. The outside pockets hold torx and Philips mini drivers, a small Crescent wrench,  a Gerber field sharpener, Klein scissors, a Aaa mini maglite, clicky pen light, WD40, a big sharp, and a carpentry pencil. I hang 1 inch wide duct tape off a Learherman biner.

Inside...ho boy. Hammer, torpedo level, large needle nose pliers, PTx Pirhana, ratcheting driver, bag o' hex bits, 6 inch crescent wrench, Goop, Loctite, paperclips for poking holes in the dried Goop around the cap, Stanley knife, pencils, chain for a ceiling fan, sharpening stone, nail set, assorted tweezers and pencil sharpeners (2 sizes), metric and imperial Allen keys, Teflon tape, eyeglass drivers in a tube of Airborn, 8 inch straight and angled hemostats, small ratchet set, Chanellocks, wire cutters, teeny dedicated flathead and Philips drivers, stubby #2 Philips,  electrical tape, small prybar, dental pick, zip ties, ear plugs, graphite lube, magnetic stud finder, head lamp, 16 foot tape measure, cut resistant gloves, and safety glasses. Phew, my thumbs hurt.

That's what I  usually turn to for handy man work around the house. Saws and files and such are too big for the bag, but are in the garage if needed. No MT was included because, with that bag, it's not needed. I dont need an extra half pound of steel that's basically redundant.
 
My most used items are probsbly the headlamp, the 5mm Allen key, thd angeled hemostats (getting stuff out of the garbage disposal), and the mini Philips driver up front, for battery compartments,  toys, etc. This is my super dad kit.

Love the Dog's paw in the first and second picks.     Bet that's the most usefull tool of the entire lot.     Looks like a real helper, how about a complete shot and name?

That's Snickers, my Aussie. Also called Snickerdoodle, or just Doodle. She's a sweet mule.

Oh, and my real helper is the toothless wonder there with her. That's my boy, Ryan, Pokemon trainer extraordinaire.

Enjoy this time and share every moment and everything you can.  They grow up way to fast.  There will always be a little part of  you missing after they leave.

Thanks guys. Feels weird to say I have a first grader. And a three year old girl right behind him.

Outstanding!!!

I'm very envious of your husky toolbag, I've been after one of their wheeled tote bags for ages, but they're so difficult to get here in th UK.

Oh... and your little ones are lovely too!!!

I see your combined hammers and prybars, and raise by an axe ...

Snail Brand (old English company - now defunkt) Roofing Tool

Here, in Canada, we call those “Box Tools”. Stemming from the days of wooden crates often used in shipping. You can still purchase a modern version online from one of our national tool suppliers (LV) for under $18.00 Cdn.

That's where I got mine, although at the time I think it was $13.95 at Lee Valley.  They also used to refer to it as the Ugly Tool because it couldn't get any uglier, even if it was left out in the rain.

Ugly or not, that is THE tool that I would want in a genuine survival situation. Keep your pack axe or big knife. I reckon I could improvise more solutions to more problems with that one tool than I ever could with a big knife or pack axe. It's an excellent bit of kit. Add a Swiss knife or pliers tool, and you're pretty much ready for anything.

I generally reckon I can improvise more problems than solutions. And true improvisation it is - I've never planned for them at all. I guess it just comes naturally to me.

(I kind of imagine myself in a tight spot trying to drive in a nail and getting that axe in my forehead in the process  I know, very unlikely But then again unlikely things happens a lot)

While eating my breakfast this morning of prefectly cooked soft boiled eggs, i was perusing through some old catalogues i had stashed away... as one does, when, low and behold i gazed upon this rare sight - an actual image depicting the sensual, almost spiritual act of podgering!!!

Is it a bit dusty in here... sniff...

[Syncop8r]

Whoaaarr! 

[Fuzzbucket]

Whoaaarr! 

Notice the subtle arcing of the wrist and gentle fingering in the second image... beautiful...

A picture tells a thousand words.

Changed spark plugs in a Nissan Murano today and used a bunch of tools - including the SURGE!!!- to handle the job.

If I ever get ahold of that piss-sweating smurf who designed that transverse mounted, 3.5 liter engine and made it necessary to remove the intake manifold to get to half the plugs, his life expectancy would be on the back side of the bell curve

The grey Craftsman model 6512 metal tool box is at least 40 years old, could be as old as the mid 60's. I have two of those, the one bigger, black Craftsman Rally Box from the 80's I think, and the obligatory late 1990's, 94 piece socket set in a tough plastic case. Plus one of those red Husky tool bags with the Bucks Bros. chisels, Stanley mallet, Miller's Falls hand drill, the old folding ruler, the old old Crescent brand side-cutter linesman's plyers with New England tips, marked Bell System on one side. I love that thing. I'll try to get some pics of it up later.

Nice setup, and great to see the tools actually getting used!

I feel you on the spark plug issue- I haven't done that in my Jeep but I do hate having to remove the air intake hose just to swap an air filter.  They really pack stuff in these new cars so tightly you can't do anything on them without disassembling half the car to do it.

Would this count as a podger, or does it have to be a ratcheting head?

I got this last week. It's very definitely a single use tool. One of those tools you either know what is does or you don’t.

I'm sorry Grant, but that won't do at all... you couldn't get a satisfactory podge out of that...

I give up Smashie, i can't figure out what that is. I'm guessing from the materials used, it's something to do with either shooting or boating... or telescopes?
