Day 25 of 30

Was able to use this ratchet screwdriver late yesterday evening at home today work on a couple things.  No action shots though :facepalm: it worked wonderfully as a nut driver and a screwdriver  :salute: the ratcheting sped things up as well :tu: :like: :like:

DAY 25

Another late shift dealing with the great unwashed and their mindless questions such as;

Q) Are there toilets outside?

A) No. We just pi** in the street here  :poh:

Q) Where is the way out? (whilst standing under a 30ft bright yellow sign saying "EXIT")
A) There is no way out. Just reboard your plane and go home, you're too dumb to travel :doh:

Still, only one more shift to go and then 2 days off  :woohoo:

Stay safe awl  :salute:
They don't like it up 'em!

Day 26

Tone ratcheting stubby I got the other day, with stuff that just came in:

Tajima Dora E3 cutter. Micro flathead, flat light pry. Kinda longer than expected, this won't fit my Maxpedition Micro.
NT STL-ONE, Blade goes in facing left and right, nice compact size, same length as my Olfa auto-lock.
Engineer replacement tip for TZ-14 punch, because my no-brand punch tip is completely flat after a few tool mods.

I was looking for a short auto-lock like kaevin's Muji mini, but I couldn't find any on Amazon Japan.

DAY 26  The continuing saga of which bits will fit tools.  Makita adapter means I can turn the Fiskars into a nut driver.

The Neiko mini ratchet has a bit driver on one side, and 1/4" socket driver on the other.

I'm currently occupying 2 houses as we going through an extended process of moving.  So some of my toys are at one house, and some are at the other.

 :ahhh   :cheers:


Edit:  I do keep the Leatherman ratchet in my pocket, so there is that.  But the Klein extenders are mo better when using a ratchet handle.  When I set the Neiko ratchet to tighten, and the Leatherman ratchet to loosen, I inadvertently time traveled for 3 minutes.  I won't make that mistake again.

Day 27

Anvanna t-handle ratchet set. Very happy with this. It comes under tons of brands. This set has 40 bits, two 4x4 grids plus 8 long bits in the lid. If you're thinking about one of these, I'd suggest getting this variation with the 40 bits instead of the other sets that have 24 bits. The ratchet is an aluminium Alloy. It feels quite nice.

The other thing is my phone stand I made out of a coat hanger. The plastic coating had tore open here and there when I was bending it, so I finally stripped it, straightened the kinks with a pliers wrench, and ran a paracord sleeve around it. It looks so much better. I should have used a better color, but it looks fine as it is.

Love the STL-ONE. I wanted to find a E3 at one point. But after moving back, my wife was going through some of the stuffs laying around and she is not happy with my answer explaining the difference between my Tajima DCL500AYCL and Olfa PL-1. "So, they are both large utility cutters anyway?". "I thought it is handy to have more around when opening and cutting boxes when moving". My buying activity has to go down at least for a while.

I think there are Muji stores in the states?

The mini ratchet got the t-handle treatment. :ahhh
The description says it has 60 teeth, so this may be the Prestacycle head. Or it may be a typo and it may be the Topeak head which has 52 teeth. :think:
The description says the head is 0.6" wide, which is the Topeak head width. So it has 52 teeth, not 60. A shame. This would have been nice if it had the Prestacycle head.
