New tools!

[Tripper]

I *love* gettin' new tools & since I'm makin' a lot of relief cuts on my top chop I thought I'd get a smaller air powered hand saber saw for some tight areas especially around the dash area where a big saw just wouldn't cut it so to speak. I got this & a kool new shear from Eastwood. I'll post a picture of the shear when I get it assembled. Tomorrow morning I'm gonna fab up tables for my new work benches & will post photos when I'm done!

I have had one of these for years.
We call it the "Pooper" because of the sound it makes.
Works well, we use it a lot.

Have fun with it.

You really can't beat a good selection of tools. You will probably use these tools more than you know. I don't know how many tools I have gotten, and then wondered how I ever got along with out them.

I know what you mean. I am a tool freak. There have been a couple I just never got into, but usually find a use for all of them, usually on the same project, scattered around on the same bench and under my feet.
I call it a work frenzie.

I've got one of those saws. I use it a lot on sheetmetal. You can cut nice tight curves with it. I used it to cut the window hole in this rear panel just this past weekend, and will use it to make a window garnish moulding too.

Dont mean to change the subject but that is one good looking car, Gastrick.

Ok, back to tools.

We have one of those mini air saws, and we use it to death. Just used it tonight to cut a 15 inch diameter hole in the center of a fan shroud we built for Don's T. Dan freehanded it and got it a lot straighter than I could have.

I've had one of those for a couple of years now, usually it is the tool that can get into areas that others can't. Works better than I thought it would too, mighty handy. '22

another good use is for an easy out on butt welding panels i overlap them tack in a few spots and then use it to cut along seam. it leaves the perfect width gap for butt welds.

Hey, hey, good for you. That is something you will use a bunch.
