Rustybullethole Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 This reminds me my dad wants a gate welded up out of old tools. I’ve an abundance of rusty old tut no good to man nor beast which I’ve been hoarding waiting for the time to do it. if it’s good pass it on though. Used to work in a youth project and we got a load of gear donated that way which was always a boon. Still have a telescopic cosh I grabbed from a giffer toolbox donation to save it getting into the wrong hands. Sits in my hallway as a welcoming stick for any unsavoury characters who may wish to enter the family home. Hope they come to good use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sierraman Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 Adapt them. Old imperial sockets make good for pressing bearings and bushes out, old screwdrivers always useful for lining up wishbones, spanners can be ground down to fit specific jobs where you need a thin spanner etc. But then I’m tight and rarely chuck anything away... sheffcortinacentre, Bitzer, colino and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProgRocker Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 I'm keeping my late dad's old tools. I just need to sort out some heavy duty storage boxes for the bigger stuff. My sister has removed the two decades old vices from his workbench. A photo of which is on @ETCHY 's Autoshite Vice thread. ETCHY 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
