Home Made Tools

[Tysano]

Craftsman makes a tool that is perfect for removing hoses... $2.47 each, not worth making your own.
That is a window/windshield, installation tool

Mocked up another inflator

With the valve closed, left gauge reads tire pressure and right gauge reads source pressure

Open it up and they equalize

And the larger screw on chuck is easier on the fingertips than the dually extensions on my old setup

Leak free and painless compared to inflators with clip on leads and momentary valves

My home made wheel bearing puller for my 40, the key is fed through the bearing and when pulled back lays flat against the inside of the bearing, slide the long tube back and you have a slide hammer type action, works like a charm.

Nice tool, great idea, but there's an easier way. Remove the spindle nuts, remove the outer bearing, leave the rotor on, and reinstall 1 spindle nut, then grab the rotor at 3 and 9 o'clock and slide the rotor off with some force. You'll end up with the rotor in you're hands and the inner bearing and seal will be on the spindle.

Before my dad passed away 2 years ago, he was having to change IV bags at home. He had trouble with the push to connect fittings so I made him a tool from a pair of channel locks that would let him squeeze the plastic fittings together without breaking them. It worked like a charm.

Umm... Pretty sure he's talking about the rear axle, not the front.

Mocked up a couple more inflators

This one has larger ports and tubing for more flow:

And this one has dual outlets (lock the main and opposing valves to check pressure)

Mounted this piece of aluminum plate to my Harbor Frieght Band saw. Now I can use it as an upright for cutting smaller pieces and shapes.

SMG, they (the green ones) used to come with a table like that. It mounted directly on the blade guide. And I've seen one guide broken because of it.

 

[LAMBCRUSHER]

on a HF tool? NO WAY!

 

[SMG]

I think this is a step above HF saw. It has bearings for the guides as the HF does not. The castings are the same.
It's been working great!
