"GMC big straight six" Bah. There is only one gas* I6 option for this, and you know in your heart what it is. Hudson Hornet. *I dont think a Jimmy 6-71 diesel would fit anyway.

I have that same L. Coes wrench. It's surprisingly useful for everything but wrenching (though I'm sure it would be great at that too, I just haven't encountered a bolt big enough to use it on since I got it, would've been perfect for the 1-1/8" transfer case fill plug on my Jeep back in the day). It's served as an ersatz hammer (that's why the back is mushroomed, it's been used as a hammer for 100 years), sheetmetal bending brake, and C-clamp when I'm one short on actual clamps (which is every time, that's the nature of clamps -- just like every rope is six inches too short, you always need one more clamp.)

If you're buying new, look at Homak. Half the price, same quality as Kennedy. (Disclaimer: I got a cantilever box, it's pretty skookum, I assume the ones with drawers are of similar quality.) Status of rebuilding my tool collection after all my tools got stolen (the local methhead broke into my shed when I was away):  And yes, the shiny thing in the bottom is a framing hammer with an axe head as a counterweight. DIY flipped their poo poo over that when I posted it in the tools thread. It's the old-school version from before they invented claws. I like old things and rarely build houses (I did help build a house once, 29 years ago ... I'm 36.) Edit: You guys are cool, you get the version reshot with the real camera.  I can tell you what everything is, if you want. (spoiler: the big roll of tape ain't Duck/duct) Edit: Y'all are all asleep so I'll just go. Starting with the Craftsman socket set on the right and spiraling clockwise downward: Tape measure and axe-sharpening puck; random bolts and fittings to be populated (the brass one is the cap from an A/C filler valve); screwdriver bits, Bic lighter, loupe, and knife with a blade/can opener/marlinspike; epoxy and writing implements. Next shelf, pliers and Crescent wrench, precision srewdriver set; two sets of Stanley/DeWalt Demo Driver screwdrivers (original and spare), scissors with my grandfather's name engraved on then, and the driver for the 1/4" bits up top between the tap and magnifier; Altoid tin full of foam earplug, labeled "EARHOLE PLUGGERS" because AvE; wrenches and Allen keys that came with the socket set. In the well, Gaffer tape with a roll of electrical tape inside, the black line is the case for a Harbor Freight clicky torque wrench, tiny cross-peen both ways hammer, PVC cutter, sockets included in the Craftsman set to provide spares/boost the parts count (it had four 10mm, I'm cool with that), old-school framing hammer/rigger's axe, small ball-pein, ancient L. Coes wrench. Chillbro Baggins fucked around with this message at 02:54 on Oct 20, 2018 |
