This is the tool that i used to remove my drain. Hope this helps. When you reinstall it, just remember to use plumbers putty.

u/MasenF · 22 pointsr/specializedtools

They're locking pin stops. I've never seen them used this way before, usually they go on the metal post on the back of enamel pins, to keep them from falling off of whatever you're pinning them to. Just bought a bunch of them, here's the link

u/BrandonRushing · 20 pointsr/HomeImprovement

Instead of buying that one tool, I'd highly recommend just getting a full Allen wrench set for a couple bucks more.

The InSinkErator tool is just a 1/4" allen wrench.

u/LJ-Rubicon · 13 pointsr/cars

Tekton and harbor freight are your best friend.

Go to harbor freight and get a toolbox, 3 ton jack, and 4 jack stands. A creeper is nice to have.

If you want sockets and ratchet from harbor freight, get the Icon ratchets and Pittsburgh sockets.

I suggest Tekton from Amazon. Start with the 3/8 set, then get the 1/2 and 1/4 set.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07P6RJXJ9/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_UuaQDbRWPK777

That'll cover your socket needs for the most part.

With a toolbox, Jack, Jack stands, socket set, and wrenches, you'll be able to complete most jobs.

Over time, you'll accrue more tools as you need them. I'm a mechanic by trade and, even with a fully matured tool setup, find myself buying tools I need every once and a while.

This might be excessive, but I wanted to be thorough so you can see what all is out there. I am having trouble thinking of anything that the following tools can't do, in terms of AR building and maintenance. This is basically my setup at home, though some.of the brands and whatnot are different.

I am operating under the assumption that you already have some basic hand tools in addition to the torque wrench.

The only things you absolutely need are roll pin punches and an armorer's wrench and some basic hand tools like Allen wrenches, screwdrivers, needlenose pliers and so on. The rest just expedite the process and help solve weird issues that may come up.

u/AffableJoker · 7 pointsr/GoRVing

I highly suggest a hand packer. You'll need a jack capable of lifting your trailer (I highly suggest a bottle jack), and stands to support it while your wheels are off. You'll need a 1-1/2 socket (I won't use a wrench on the castle nut), cotter pins if that's what your axle uses. You won't know until you take it apart so just buy a kit since they're cheap and you can use them if/when you need to work on your awning anyway. I use water pump pliers to remove the dust cap without damaging it. You'll need a seal puller. Breaker bar, torque wrench, and sockets to fit your lug nuts. Brake clean, I use varsol to clean everything but the drum. Varsol and cast iron don't mix. I'll clean everything after the varsol with brake clean because it evaporates. You'll need high temperature high pressure grease and new seals (if you bring your make and rating of axle to a dealer they can hook you up).

Jack up the trailer, take off the wheels, pop off the dust cap, take off the cotter pin or other retainer, remove the nut, washer, outer bearing, remove the drum, remove the seal, remove the inner bearing. Clean the bearings with varsol, clean everything with brake clean, blow everything with compressed air to evaporate the brake clean, pack new grease into the bearings, coat the axle spindle with grease, coat the bearing races with grease, reassemble.

The correct torque on the axle nut is 50ft/lbs while spinning the wheel to set the bearings, then loosen and retighten to finger tight.

u/TJTwo · 7 pointsr/Plumbing

This works well. Fits standard faucet nuts; just like the ones your faucet uses but also works for other things like basin supplies, kitchen strainers, tub key, etc.

With all of that you should have more than enough to do basic maintenance with under $80 worth of tools.

As you get more skilled, you'll need some specialized tools for the bottom brackets, headsets, and cones on your wheels but those will vary by type/bike, and in time you will own multiple bikes so buy the tools when you when you need them.

A. As a nightshifter: Royally fuck you winterhour, let the time of depression and moodswing begin!

B. Just spent 1.5 fucking hours trying to look for 1. a tool (or) 2. the name of the fucking tool in Dutch

It's fucking sick, I need this thing to unclog my fucking bath, 10$ on amazon in the US, OR a fucking 80 euros on amazon.de (?!!) OR it's a reasonable price but they're unable to deliver

So then, maybe fucking bol.com or gamma or something... half an hour of searching for the translation of 'dumbell wrench', conclusion: It just doesn't have a fucking name, I tried everything.

I'm done with this for today, I guess I'll just cry in the shower whenever I use it and it starts overflowing and reminding me of my incompetence /s

Could also pay someone to do it, but who's got the fucking money for that?

If any of you have a golden tip.... I'd be grateful

(it's to remove the drain-cover-shitthing from my bath, which has been clogged off and on up for 5 years or so)

Edit: Thanks for the helpful advice <3 Appreciate it!

u/RumShark · 5 pointsr/sandiego

So you didn't mention if you've tried any steps yet, so ignore this comment if you have.

My friend did the same thing, and it can sometimes be an easy fix.

A couple of quick things to check. This should take like 30 seconds, is not messy, and saves you from the "oh, I feel so stupid" moment. If it doesn't work, then you know you've tried the basics, and it's time to call professionals!

  1. Make sure the blades can spin freely. On the bottom of the garbage disposal in the center there is a little opening with a hex shape. There will usually be a matching wrench somewhere nearby (maybe under the sink, maybe in that junk drawer in the kitchen that has all the manuals and stuff you never know what to do with). It would look like this:

    https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B000BQ7WE0/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_U_eIwxDbFYFCVX7

    It should be able to freely turn (or you may still hear glass crunching or preventing it from spinning. Sometimes manually spinning the blades can clear them.

  2. Is the disposal not making any noise at all when you turn it on? The fuse may be blown. There is a reset button on the bottom of the disposal that can be reset when the disposal has been overloaded by accident. You can press it to make sure that it is set and the disposal tries to turn on.

    Here's a video of the whole clearing process: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J0OByRuoYM0
u/goeslikehell · 5 pointsr/Tools

Those are nice torque wrenches. The split beam ones don't need to be zeroed out after each use so it's my go to for lug nuts usually. I have what is essentially the same wrench, just direct from the manufacturer Snap On uses, Precision.

u/mrtravis2772 · 4 pointsr/plastidip

From what I've heard, you don't actually need to take your wheels off to dip. If you don't know what tools you'll need to do it, then you probably should go this route.

However if you still want to get some good tools to learn how to work on your car, here's what you'll need:

Floor jack this is the Harbor Freight one. It can be found in stores for as low as $70 depending on coupons. It's actually a pretty decent jack. Its very low and it lifts well. It's pretty good quality too, just very heavy. If you're not in the states/near a HF, do some research on a decent one as you don't want to drop your car on anyone/anything.

Jack stands you'll need four if you want to take all your wheels off at once. I don't have these stands and I don't know anything about them so do your research on some good ones (they don't have to be very expensive) and make sure to get some that will support your vehicles weight. Remember, be safe.

Breaker bar this will help you get the leverage you need to break your lug nuts loose. It's a very smart idea to properly torque your lug nuts back down when you put your wheels back on so they don't fall off or you don't snap a stud. Here's a combo kit with a torque wrench and that same breaker bar I have a few Tekton brand tools and I'm very pleased with them. They are a fantastic budget option that isn't junk. I would definitely buy from them again (and I'm a bit of a tool snob)

Lug nut sockets this is a generic kit that I have no experience with. You'll need a socket to fit on your breaker bar and torque wrench. This is a set with multiple sizes, you only need one size for your car so if you want to save some money, figure out what size your lug nuts are and just get one socket. The ones in this kit and some you'll find elsewhere are coated in a plastic sleeve to prevent scratching on your wheels.

Gloves Gloves aren't necessary but some people like them to keep from getting their hands super dirty. You can get as cheap or as expensive as you like with gloves. These seem to be popular. If you do go to HF to buy a floor jack, I like their heavy duty black nitrile gloves. They're disposable and very strong.

This should be all you need to get started with changing tires and whatnot. I'm on mobile so sorry for the inevitable typo. Good luck with your wheels and don't forget to post pictures on the finished product. I'll link some more tools below this if you'd like to build of a kit to do basic maintenance like changing your oil, etc...

Socket set This is a very good place to start with sockets. I linked a 1/4 drive and 3/8 combo set. The smaller 1/4 inch drive sockets are great for small places and will be fine for a lot of your car. The 3/8 inch drive set is good for larger fasteners or things that are a bit tighter. If you were only going to get one, I'd get the 3/8 drive. Alternatively if you want something a little bit better, GearWrench makes very good sockets and ratchets for a good price as well (more than Tekton but way less than "professional" tool truck brands)

Oil drain pan Doing an oil change is a great way to do maintenance on your car and get started before you do bigger things. You'll need to drain the old oil somewhere so a pan like this is perfect. You don't need anything too fancy. I think I got mine from my local auto parts store for ~$10.

Screwdrivers There's a million different options for these. My personal favorites are the Wera Kraftform screwdrivers they are super comfortable and they have a special non slip tip that is amazing. I don't want to use any other screwdriver ever after this. (They're on sale now too!! They're usually about ~$10 more than this. I almost want to get an other set just because)

Pliers These are great pliers at a good price. Keep them clean and they should last a long time. I'm very happy with mine.

I can't think of much more right now. You'll know when you need something else. This also depends on what kind of car you have. Jeeps for example, use a lot of torx fasteners so you'd need torx sockets for a lot of stuff. Just make sure you watch a lot of videos on how to do things and make sure you're comfortable doing whatever it is you're doing. The last thing you want to do is damage you or your car.

I have an allen wrench set like this that has everything in metric and standard that you would ever need for a guitar setup. The best part is its easy to find when you need it and you dont lose the smaller keys.

u/Shwingdom · 3 pointsr/Tools

If you own a home a basin wrench is probably the biggest time saver you can get.

When something goes wrong, it's never planned, and it's usually water. This saves so much time and headache it's worth way more than $10-15.

u/witsendidk · 3 pointsr/3Dmodeling

I'm really sorry you've lost your fingers. That's so horrible. I myself work in a shop using powertools on a daily basis so I know the risk and how easily it can happen, it's one of my greatest fears and I wouldn't wish it on anyone. I hope you're coping alright all things considered.

There are definitely resources out there for you and people who can help. Here is one, I know there are more out there. I think there's one in particular I couldn't find.

Here's a list of a bunch of .stl databases.

Here's another list.

There's probably some overlap in those but that should help. I googled 'list of 3d model repositories' to find those, you may find more with similar searches like '.stl databases'. Add 'medical' or 'prosthetic' in there too, combine them and you should find some helpful search results.

There are also places online you can pay people to print stuff for you. But honestly if you find a model that you think works for your hand situation, please pm me! I would love to print it for you and send it to you probono if you want something from asap until you can print your own (I imagine you probably will have alterations you'd like after the 1st attempt) after you've figured out your printer. I'd be happy to help you get started as well if you have any questions at all. I have gone through the initial learning curve myself for about 2 years now so I know what you're in for challenge-wise. Check out the r/3dprinting subreddit, there's a lot of helpful folks over there, there also might be a specific subreddit for your exact printer. Yep, just checked, I believe it's r/MPselectMiniOwners. I've also gotten lots of help from 3dprinting discord channels (namely '3dprinters') Discord is a chat server program incase you're unaware.

Tools and materials wise, you will need only a few basic hand tools and filament. PLA will probably do just fine for your situation (you can use more durable filament later, PLA is just the easiest to work with and best for prototypes. Hand tools that I use are a metal spatula like these, and a pair of snips like these. I also regularly use 99% (highest % is best) isopropyl alcohol to clean my printbed surface. Also get a nice gluestick to help print adhesion to the printbed surface if you run into adhesion issues. That's about it, I have other tools and stuff I use but those are my most frequently used. You might want to get a decent set of hex head wrenches these are the ones I use, they work a lot better than allen 'L' style hex wrenches for working on your machine. That's assuming your machine uses hex head nuts though.

Also, Fusion 360 is the program I'd recommend looking into if you're trying to do your own modelling. It's actually pretty easy to learn, I used a site called udemy.com which offers cheap lessons (~$10 a course sometimes cheaper) that are very helpful. Fusion 360 is free for hobbyists.

Seriously though, please don't hesitate to pm me, I'd love to help you out if you're interested in that. :)

I bought this recently. Complete overkill for coil building, but it's nice to have a ton of hex key sizes available for pretty much anything.

Also a breaker bar is a great idea. I got one from Halfords. Bit expensive but some of those bolts won't move with just a ratchet.

Also a torque wrench.

I agree, build you own kit. Below is my take. Know that some of those tools are not for every day use in networking, but who can resist getting more tools? Also, if you get all of these I realize it will be over $200. So, just use this list as a guide not a definitive list.

I've been using this set for years now on planes, quads, 3d printers, and all kinds of stuff. None of them are stripped. Even the smallest size is still good as new.

I have a Fluke 112 but only because the company I worked for replaced them and gave the old ones away. It is fantastic to have one, but I think they are like $150+ new. Totally not needed. I've had bad luck with the super cheap/free ebay and harbor freight specials. I would consider stepping up to the ~$50 price range. I use the continuity beeper like 95% of the time I pick up the tool, so make sure it has a beeper/buzzer.

Best thing about these wrenches is you don't have to crank them back down to 20 ft/lbs after each use like you do with spring based torque wrenches.

u/Chippy569 · 2 pointsr/LifeProTips

A breaker bar along with an appropriately-sized deep 6pt socket (19mm is most cars these days) should fit in your trunk no-problem and will kick the shit out of a tire iron. Should still be able to remove the wheels even if you accidentally let jiffy lube rotate your tires and they didn't bother with an appropriate torque stick.

u/Burned_it_down · 2 pointsr/whichbike

If the bike you have fits you and hasn't been terribly abused it might be worth just keeping it. 550 is going to buy another entry level-ish bike. $200 in tools and parts can fix most issues, and you can keep up on your own maintenance from then on.

u/Ricotta_Elmar · 2 pointsr/MechanicAdvice

The US General 5 Drawer Tool Cart is a beginner mechanic's best friend.

A word of warning though; don't buy combination wrenches from Harbor Freight. They skip sizes, and that's not what you want when you're working on several types of cars that can't agree on standard sizes.

IMO this is the best set you can get for your money, but you will need to get a 23mm separately if you ever want to change the diff oil in a Miata.

(PROTIP: 15/16 is 24mm and 5/16 is 8mm.)

u/maverickps · 2 pointsr/Tools

I have the bigger brother of the tekton you mentioned: https://www.amazon.com/TEKTON-24340-2-Inch-ft-lb-33-9-338-9/dp/B00C5ZL1NS

Since I drive an F150 with lug nuts that need 150ft/#. And as with most precision devices, they don't operate their best at either extreme.

The thing is solid, and all my tekton tools have been a pleasure to use. But I have read online as I am sure you have that spring types like the tekton can lose calibration A) over time, B) if you do not return to the lowest setting.

The Tekton would be fine probably forever, but if you bite the bullet now you can get the generic version of the snap-on for about 3X: https://www.amazon.com/Precision-Instruments-PREC3FR250F-Silver-Torque/dp/B002XMSFIM/

I came across this link on this subreddit about who actually makes the tools for snap-on, and you can find it here: http://www.toolchat.net/

Since most snap-on are just re-branded. The 2nd wrench I linked is a split-beam and does not have the associated accuracy-over-time issues of the spring type ones.

That said, with the Tekton you can spend that other 100$ on more needed tools, then graduate to higher quality over time. Having a spare around is awesome.

u/Anon_Y_Mouse_123457 · 2 pointsr/bicycling

Chain breaker is for removing chain pins. When you get a new chain it probably will have more links then you need.

While I have no problem with them making them, I flat out refuse to purchase Shimano chains because there are many times when I need to take a chain off and I can't because I've run out of replacement pins. Sram 9 speed chains have a reusable/rebreakable link. Sram 10/11/12 speed chains have a locked permanently after the first time link. I do not purchase those either. I exclusively use KMC chains because they come with a reusable link for breaking the chain in that location. I also keep 2 of the links in my saddle bag. Ya never know when a link will get buggered 15 miles from the trailhead.

If you have carbon, then get one of these preset torque wrenches: Ritchey 5Nm 6-Bit Torque Key https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00SU86GCK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_0gHWCbBB8T426 (Park, Ice, Bontrager, etc all make them too). I like the ones where you can replace the bit. Don't use it to loosen the bolts, use a hex/Allen key for that.

u/deepburple · 2 pointsr/MotoUK

It would probably be cheaper to think about the tools you're going to definitely need and buy them individually as cheap as you can or in smaller sets.

90% of the tools i've used to do a lot of work on multiple bikes is with this £9 box of sockets and this £9 set of spanners.. The socket set has been amazing with its ratchet and spanner that clips into each other. So useful.

Also get a large torque wrench. I got this one which has been great: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B000LFTSG6/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

All that is less than £40 and will cover almost everything the average person is going to do with a bike.

Snap-On has this exact model with their name on it (plus a reversing head I think) and I've been using this one on every. Single. Wheel. Nut. On every car I take the wheels off of for the last 6 or 7 years and it is still calibrated.

I also torque axle nuts up to 242 ft-lbs and there are no issues so far

u/Gandalfs_Soap · 1 pointr/Lyft

I should have mentioned this: if you are thinking of trying to fit a bike in your car. Carry two adjustable wrenches. Reason is in case they are riding without quick release. Also, put the chain in a plastic bag so the grease doesn't get everywhere. If they can take off/on the wheels the better but if they can't, you may need to put the wheels on/off. Quick tutorial for freewheel. Quick tutorial for fixed, I don't particularly like this video since the guy didn't have a horizontal dropout but it is the closest I could find. You could also get a rear bike rack for your car in my experience the Saris is pretty reliable but it is fairly expensive this one is $80. They are some that are cheaper but I have had one bad experience with a cheap bike rack and since you are hauling people it would probably not be a good idea if the bike rack were to fail. I hope this helps.

Lowe's has the same item for the same price.

Yes, $9 for a little wrenchette is definitely overpriced. Even amazon's price of $6 is too high, IMHO. I guess the lesson is "don't lose it" and if you do, just use a regular 1/4 inch hex wrench (aka an allen key).

Sorry for the double up comment, but if you're really interested in a kit, here are each of the tool's they'll give you

Feeler Gauge

Allen Wrench Set (this is actually more comprehensive)

64th inch ruler

Straight Edge (For judging neck relief/bow)

Mini Screwdrivers

String Winder (with wire cutter)

Compare to $60 dollars

$100:(http://www.stewmac.com/Luthier_Tools/Essential_Tool_Kits/Basic_Setup_Kit.html)


This actually seems like a solid deal, but you can get all of these at a hardware store for less and not pay for shipping and wait around for it.

u/DaoDeer · 1 pointr/3Dprinting

Buy

($6)Wires:For the MOFSET mod

($1o)MOFSET

($6)Wire spades:For the MOFSET mod

($8)Assorted M3 Bolts:You need some for a few mods and for the bolts you will inevitably strip on this cheap wonderful machine

($13)Longer assorted M3 Bolts:For a few mods

($9)M4 Bolts:For one of the mods

($9)Metric allen wrench set:Had to order one of these since metric tools aren’t common round these parts

(~$20) PLA of preferred choice- You’ll run out of the sample bit quick so go ahead and order a roll or two to be prepared. You will note some upgrades require ABS so a small spool of that to your order will also help.

($6)M3 Lock nuts:Critically needed for a simple mod

($10)Threaded rod and nuts:Please note that this item seemed difficult to find online. I recommend going to your local hardware store and getting two 5/16” rods of at least 16” in length. They should have an assortment of threaded rod in various lengths available. Also note that the pitch of the threading matches the nuts you buy. Further instructions regarding this can be seen in Azza’s Z-Axis braces below.)

($6)9mm Wrench for the nozzle: Don’t wait for your first clog, go ahead and have this on hand to remove/change the nozzle. Note to only tighten/loosen the nozzle when heated.



Below is the order of printable upgrades I recommend but I suggest you mix in a few other prints along the way because this is a hobby after all and you should be having fun. It helps to have your quality as tuned in as much as possible for some of these so be patient and keep trying if you need to.

Print

Spool holder- temporary : Until you can mount your spool on top of the enclosure or any other personal preference.

Belt tensioner- print x2

Z-brace

Shielded stop button

Cable relocator : It’s a pain, but if you spend the time to do this and turn your extruder motor 90 degrees then you can get the full Z height without ruining your cables. It does involve opening all the cables to the PSU and feeding a few extra inches back through the cable chains.

Cable shroud : Looks nice if you do the cable relocator.


The following need to be printed in ABS:

M3 Bed Nut retainer: 10/10 upgrade. I know they look worse than the nice metal stock ones, but these help keep your bed level longer.

CiiCooler

Glass bed Holder


Now that the first major round of printed upgrades is done it’s time to shift to a few more supplies to pick up to really fine tune the machine.


Buy

($5)Radial fan: For CiiCooler

($5)Glue sticksThis and a glass bed is magic

($25)Borosilicate glass 8” x 8”

($26)Y-Carriage plate upgrade: This has been a nice upgrade as I now only need to relevel the bed every couple weeks instead of every print. Check out this guide for a ‘how to’ as well as a free upgrade by shifting your Y pulley over.

($15)rechargeable dehumidifier: For keeping in the bin with your opened filaments

($9)Extruder gears: Might be able to hold off on these, but will need eventually. If for some reason you have a Maker Select with metal X-axis blocks (V1 and V2, but not V2.1) then this is a must. You can follow this guide for a how to.

($28)Metal extruder plate and lever: Not needed, but nice.

($14)Noctua 40mm fan: Not needed, but makes the printer a lot quitter. A LOT quieter.

($50)MicroSwiss All Metal Hot End: The destruction of my PTFE tube by this point pushed me to doing this upgrade. If needed you can follow this guide for replacement. Remember to tighten/loosen when the nozzle its hot.

($6)Ceramic cotton: Tore off the stock one when replacing for the all metal hot end by accident. At least its thicker than stock

Now that the printer is in its final form, its time for the enclosure which is a stacked Ikea Lack hack.

Print

Spool holder

Pi Case

120mm fan cover

Fan grill

120mm fan PSU modification: I edited this to fit upside down since my PSU is mounted on the underside. This was nice since I blew the 40mm fan anyways so it made everything a lot quieter than before.

IKEA Lack filament guide

Webcam holder: This is one I designed specifically for the webcam I happen to have lying around. The camera mount piece can be changed out no problem though for what ever webcam you have or buy. The SketchUp file is included on Thingiverse for such purpose.

Buy

($20)2x Ikea Lack: Luckily there is one right down the street from me. I am located in North America though, so we do not have the STUVA, if you live literally anywhere else you may check in to this as an alternative.

($80)Plexi glass for enclosure: Could be cheaper alternatives, but it looks cool

($9)Foam pads for feet

($42)Raspberry Pi3: For OctoPrint. I also suggest using a different USB cable than the stock one provided by Monoprice or you will have issues.

($9)2x 120mm fans: Used for the power supply cooling and enclosure

($6)Rocker Switches so that the enclosure fan can be on for PLA, but off for ABS

($15)Dimmable LED lights

($10)8mm LED light connectors


Total:
$250 printer + $452 upgrades/parts + ~$80 PLA/ABS to date

Your idea seems like it may be "too little" for the project but I am honestly ok with that because I rather get something done then bite off something too big to chew and end up having to figure something out last second and it being a piece of crap.

​

So does that flight controller stick right into those frames and then you screw them in or something? You say I only need to solder the the power wires to the camera, where do the motors go? I probably sound like an idiot but I'm not really an electrician or carpenter, I don't build things, other then computers :P. I need to head off now so I can't do so much research right now and I spent all day researching today.. won't have much time tomorrow, we are going to tour a college. Can you recommend a good video that would go along with this build? Tomorrow, I am going to ask the teacher if the TV in the room I am presenting in has analog input, if not we go from there. We have access to a 3D printer but a lot of people are going to be using it most likely and I think its slow but I can definitely get the camera mount printed. Once again, appreciate the effort.

I tried a ton of Allen keys and couldn’t get find a correctly sized one. I bought this set thinking it might work and it did not.

TEKTON Hex Key Wrench Set,... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00I5TH074?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

All I can say is don’t try this set.

good idea for "to change flat tire". in the shop today, I want to use my hand tool to loose that lug nuts to make sure it's smooth, that piss off the boss, he asked me to get lost. I should come up with a reasoning of "just in case I need to change flat tire".

>remove them often enough
do you remove them every 3 months or 6 months? I usually didn't touch it if there is need to, such as to change a flat tire.

> Torque it down, dry
you dry the lug nuts before put it on? May I know what's the purpose?

Thank you for your recommendation of the 3 tools, do you think these 3 looks Ok:

Star shape is torx wrench. should be able to buy from a local hardware store or amazon

u/kryndon · 1 pointr/cars

Well, I know I'm a bit late to the party, but I always forget my questions when it comes to Wednesday.

Anyway, I've finally managed to buy the sought-after torque wrench!. It's not too fancy, but I won't be using it a lot for now, so it should to the job.

I also bought 4 spark plugs, a feeler gauge and silicon grease. I'll be attempting to replace my own plugs this Christmas. I've got the torque settings from my manual, but I'm not sure whether this wrench can go so low (25 Nm are required). Anyway, my question is, as someone who'll be doing this for the first time, could you give me a any tips?

u/woodengineer · 1 pointr/HomeImprovement

I believe you actually need a tool like this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000BQ7WE0/ to get in there properly.. either that or you've ruined the motor. Either way though I would not be putting rice, pasta or starchy things down your garbage disposal it's a nightmare waiting to happen.

u/claimed4all · 1 pointr/harborfreight

For a bicycle, get a torque key and call it a day.

I personally use a [Ritchey Torque Key](Ritchey Torque Key Bike Torque Wrench - 6-Bit Set, 5Nm Preset Max Torque https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00SU86GCK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_kNfWDbPHT1AFQ). Works Great for all the smaller bolts. Anything requiring more torque, like bottom brackets and cassettes, just wing it.

u/Icouldbeanyone · 1 pointr/SVRiders

Since you're lacking a tool bag, these would be useful for you.

You'll get the bolts loose to raise the tank.

Tank prop, I can't seem to find one, since mine didn't come with one either. I just use a dead blow hammer and prop it up.

u/tepidviolet · 1 pointr/bikewrench

Park Tool discontinued their beam type torque wrenches in 2016.

Why. :< Like seriously.

I just use two different beam types. The little one gets the most use, and the big one is there for the rest.

The little one is this random thing on Amazon. Taiwanese brand. Not sure if this tool in particular is made in Taiwan or China. 0-9 Nm, 0-80 in lbs scale.

I also wanted a big beam type that went up to 70 newton meters without going very far beyond that. I think that pretty much covers everything, even the bottom brackets that require a ton of torque.

So I got the Park Tool TW-2. I caved and just bought one on ebay (old stock still in packaging) for a premium. The TW-2 scale goes up to 600 inch pounds or 70 newton meters.

Just get a $5 disposal wrench. It sticks in the bottom of the disposal and unjams it. Super simple to do.

I just get whatever is cheap from home depot/hardware store/target/etc.

But if you want specific kits or multitools, try:

https://shop.animalbikes.com/hard-goods/tools/kotulak-multi-tool.html on sale makes it more worth it otherwise pretty expensive

https://www.amazon.com/TEKTON-Long-Wrench-13-Piece-25262/dp/B00I5THFR4/

https://www.amazon.com/TEKTON-23003-8-Inch-Adjustable-Wrench/dp/B00FFUPRXK/

Like I said, I don't like to buy "bike tools". Unless you really feel the need to get some compact multi tool for "reasons". I like to buy tool sets for the house so I have tools. Then take what I need for the bike with me in a backpack.

Those multi tools aren't gonna feel comfortable in your pocket anyway. Have a backpack. Have everything you need in it. And if you drive to a spot it stays in your car or if you're riding you carry it around but since you're already carrying a pack it's not much different if it's individual tools or a singular piece.

First, you will need one of these:

Superior Tool 06020 Tub Drain Wrench (Dumbell Wrench)-Dual Ended Drain Wrench that fits 3/8 or 1/2 Inch Ratchet Wrench https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000AO193S/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_JlDVCb2E0FKA4

Then, if the metal cross bars on the tub shoe snap when you use that tool, you’ll need one of these:

https://m.grainger.com/mobile/product/1VUV1?gclid=CjwKCAjwzPXlBRAjEiwAj_XTEebjhmh8B5mQZwXgYXOLbfjkBm5oCQT9xhza3WVfOgZb5uvi5SPkvRoCvJAQAvD_BwE&cm_mmc=PPC:+Google+PLA&ef_id=CjwKCAjwzPXlBRAjEiwAj_XTEebjhmh8B5mQZwXgYXOLbfjkBm5oCQT9xhza3WVfOgZb5uvi5SPkvRoCvJAQAvD_BwE:G:s&s_kwcid=AL!2966!3!216788409968!!!g!296274828640!

And if that strips out the tub shoe, you’ll need a sawzall and surgical precision.

I use this 3/8 drive Neiko beam torque wrench for low torque applications. It's affordable and I like how I can visually see the torque scale. The scale starts at 50 lbf-in and moves in increments of 50 all the way up to 800 lbf-in. I prefer using the N-m scale, though.

For 15-25 lbf-ft accuracy, you should get the 1/4 drive beam wrench.

If you want a digital all-in-one torque wrench, I hear the ACDelco 3/8 and 1/2 digital torque wrenches are very accurate from 3 lbf-ft to something over 100 lbf-ft. Just be extra cautious when applying low torque with these.

u/GoAskAlice · 1 pointr/JUSTNOMIL

Hi.

One recommendation for your DH and FSIL: a bidet.

Don't trip out, they are cheap, sturdy, and easy to install. You know that nozzle on the wall behind the toilet? That's where the water for the toilet comes from. You basically stick the bidet right on that line.

Trust me, if I can do it, anyone can do it, you just need an adjustable wrench and a couple of different-sized screwdrivers.

Forget discussing toilet paper, seriously.

And non-digestive issues people need to learn about these things as well, because honestly? This washes your butt, okay. It does not give you an enema!

u/felt_rider · 1 pointr/bicycling

Update:

After reading a bunch of reviews and looking at all the recommendations, I decided to go with the ritchey 5Nm 6-bit set given that I need to use this only a couple of times a year, if that.

I love dyi projects. Never had this problem but I’m sure one day I will. So I did some research and found that a faucet wrench might help. Pretty responsible price on amazon.

I spent 9 years working in IT, and my guess is that it's going to be a T10 torx bit. If your buying a set, get a decent one. My experience is with HP proliant servers, and they have always used a ton of locktite on those screws to keep them from giggling lose from vibration while running. I have personally broke a few of the cheaper drivers trying to get those screws out. Make sure you use the right size driver, the tricky thing about torx is that a smaller size can trick you into thinking that it will work, but those screws will be tight enough from the factory that the wrong size will strip the screw out. The correct won't have any slop and won't be able to wiggle inside the screw.

I would get torx keys if you can like these:
If you're ok with made in China, I'd recommend Tekton

Otherwise klein makes killer Made in the USA tools

I don't know... taping the garbage disposal "key" to the side of it has really come in handy.

(if you don't know what I mean: see this)

u/roddouche · 0 pointsr/cycling

can you show me what these are supposed to look like? When I think of allen wrenches I think of those little bendy straws made out of metal

I also can't find a wrench that goes by the name of a newton meter torque wrench. Is there another way to say it?

This is all I was able to find when I looked it up. :(

u/seasond · 0 pointsr/howto

Hex keys, as in hexagon, are allen keys/wrenches. Ikea sometimes includes the necessary tools in their kits.
In order to keep costs low, Ikea won't make any proprietary tooling or hardware, so everything can be built with a basic toolset. The same goes for most products since the Industrial Revolution. :)

You should have an SAE and Metric hex set like this. They're cheap!

>I trust he would do a much better job than I would.

No he won't. All you need is a torque wrench, you may already have one, if not, a beam wrench like this is preferable to a click style for something like this.

Don't listen to people telling you to level your scope to your rifle. Anyone who tells you this has no idea what they are talking about and just repeating what other idiots told them, this is not a thing, and it does nothing.

Optimally what you want is the scope mounted so that the elevation adjustments bisect the bore, and the way to do this is through a live fire test, levels mounted to your rifle and scope wont do this (and that's what your idiot "gunsmith" is going to do, you will have paid him for nothing. ).
