Tools that younger people would not recognize.

I just put my speed wrench in a box labeled rarely used tools just a few weeks ago. I hadn’t used it in years and was always moving it around in the tool box. I got one of those fancy battery powered ratchets years ago and that’s what I use now. That speed wrench was king back in the day especially for valve covers.

Yesterday's project. All done with cheap Craftsman (Lowes) battery tools. This is my old shop that is on property I own 25 miles from home and hasn't had power for years. Once I used a long extension and breaker bar to give the lag bolts on the motor mounts a quarter turn they came out with a socket on a little 1/4" to 1/2" drive and a 3/4" socket on a 46 year old boat. I have cut a lot of it up already with a same brand sawsall and one battery charge pretty much lasted me all day. I guess I am adjusting to the 21st Century.
