Those knipex shifting spanners are awesome. I have a 180mm set in my laptop bag along with a few “just in case” tools and it has saved my backside more times than I can count.

People think they are multigrips, but having parallel jaws that tighten when you apply force to undo a nut or bolt makes quick work of most things. That being said, if I’m in the workshop I have the correct size spanner or socket and will use the correct tool.

What the heck you are doing to your poor laptop with a 180mm shifting spanner??   

 

[SeanB]

Useful tool that, I have them in all sizes from small, to if you don't come off I will rip you off size. Helps in times acting as an impromptu clamp for things.

I just discovered the Knipex adjustable wrench - I like them.
Re "gentle persuasion"  tools - I inherited from my father, a "Civil Engineer "  a pair of Stilsons - each about a metre long.
You don't have to push hard with that amount of leverage
However they do make an argument for steel capped boots if you ever drop one one your foot!

Definitely don’t use it on the laptop

I always have a few useful tools in my laptop bag (that knipex shifter, volt stick, Stanley knife, small ratcheting screwdriver set), you never know when it will come in handy. I know the dangers of volt sticks just before anyone jumps in. It’s more of a “yes, there is power” rather than a “no it definitely doesn’t”. If I need to be sure, out comes the proper gear.

I have a 400mm knipex set at home in the tool trolley. I got it for a ridiculously good price, but have never used it. One day I will use it I’m sure. It takes up nearly the width of one of my toolbox drawers.

From the container no, rather from my light - on my small working surface of 6750 lm in LED

If you have a ton of photos of individual items please consider starting a dedicated thread. I'm sure many people would want see it all in one place rather than piecemeal between other users posts showcasing their own humble bench setups.

Perhaps in the Other Equipment & Products Forum that is probably the perfect place for photos of individual items.

Good idea, I can create something like this in one topic and send photos next to the home workplace of my mobile workshop, a simple workplace in employment or a work area in my garage  (it is currently under reconstruction)
First have to put the photos in a folder and I need to make a size adjustment and create a description. Let's see how time will be

I also thank you for praise, i have a lot of photos,  gradually insert

Another option would be linking to a dedicated collection of them on like imgur.com, once im done redoing my home office i'll most likely do this myself.  Work was tossing a bunch of stuff so i collected it like the garbage collector .. i mean recycler that i am

My 8x10 or so spare bedroom is now wall to wall with desk space and shelving lol

I'm just itching to buy one of these https://akro-mils.com/Products/Security/AkroBin-Cabinet-HD4824F  These guys are only like 2 miles down the road from me to boot so no freight charge.. just back my truck up and go l

We have a similar cabinet at work, but it does not have trays in the door

I have one that is about 2 feet long.  I also have a 4 foot piece of pipe to add to my 1/2" socket wrench to make a hella breaker bar.  Lug nuts don't stand a chance.

It's not 4' long, but a KT Pro A4103PR Bust-a-Bolt set does a nice job of it without busted knuckles IME (especially on the side of the road).  Works very well for front end suspension too.

With that much leverage, even a 3/4 inch stud, with a nice rusted-on nut, can twist off very easily! Bless penetrene and an oxy torch!

[GreyWoolfe]

I haven't twisted off a stud yet.  If there is a lot of rust, Liquid Wrench.  That is what my dearly departed Dad used and is what i use.  Very gentle persuasion so far as easily removed lug nuts.

Won't do any good if something's been Loctite'd in.
Only heat/impact/bigger spanner or the oxy torch can help you then.

I had to laugh, the two big stilsons' nickname was - 'gentle persuasion'

Nah  that's already reserved for my 12lb sledge !

Same here. the big adjustable spanner is called "fits most" simply because the smaller sizes just the mass of it tends to break them off.

Nothing quite like a good long breaker bar for those stubborn nuts.

Damn it! Thats the third one i've sheared off in a row! Well, i suppose, at least it's off.

Been there, got the t-shirt and burned it.  High temp red Loctite on 5/64" allen key set screws in brass gears.  Walmart special propane torch to loosen them.  I rebuilt about 300 laminator units with 2 gears and 2 set screws each.  I probably recycled that twice that many at least due to the heads already being stripped when they were tightened.
