What new tools have you got lately?

^^^^YEP, that works for me @legopnuematic ^^^^^^^^^

 

[Catbox]

Third on the vise crimper.
It works just fine.

 

[TotalyHucked]

I'll try to remember to post if it works or not.

I hope it works well for ya. At first glance, that looks sketchy as hell lol

4th on the vice crimper. It works great.

Before I had that thing, I did them all meticulously with various pairs of pliers. I always got great results, but it sucked, lol.

Not exactly a truck tool.

The back popped off the wife's wristwatch.

While attempting to put it back on she managed to cut the O-ring that seals the back.

While I was doing my usual Amazon/eBay, "where can I get this part?" thing, a suggestion popped up for a tool kit for servicing watches for around $30.

Yeah, I know. Chineseium. But for something I'll use maybe five times a year, and it saves me from having to savage a delicate piece of equipment to press the cover back on.... eh.

Turns out it works quite well. I may even do it the favor of greasing the threads on the pressing tools so they'll last more than a few uses.

*** O-rings sold separately.

Picked up a "broken" 3D printer for $30. Needed a new cable. Got a whole cable kit for less than $15 shipped. Slapped the laser engraver on it that I had never really messed with. Spent a day figuring it out. Managed to make some sweet custom switch caps.

No flare fitting, but just a test piece.

I have done that before though. Never failed it would be a really nice flare too

It’s always a really good flare or the perfect length of tube when you forget the fitting.

I’ve got one of these that works pretty good, use in the vise.

I have the same one. I think it came with a set of wires. Works well enough for the number of wires I do.
