The Cool Tools Thread


Duncan

Recommended Posts

Okay so I am planning to get myself a tool chest. Have been looking at Kincrome and the likes..

Found out that TengTools has a cool option to build your own chest. Guys at VEK also said they would bundle up an air compressor with rattle gun, etc.

Q. Any feedback regarding TengTools? I dont care about brand image - just need to know their durability, etc.

Repco make good quality tools for a sensible price and have life time warranty on them

if you go the repco route dont get there powerbuilt gear (not sure if they still sell it but they still do warranty swaps on it) i go a 500 odd piece powerbuilt double sliding toolbox setup with my tools for the trade about 6 years ago, most of it is all good however the ratchet handles' reverse switch falls out of them as they are poorly designed (they get replaced under warranty but its a pain taking them back and waiting for replacements). also the sockets are very lightly engraved with sizes so after a while its impossible to read. It doesnt effect there use its just an inconvienance

Glad to see this thread back in action :)

I have three Repco chests, get in there this weekend and snag one for 30% off. They seem fairly well built, I haven't got any complaints except that they keep filling up lol

    • Been poking around on the new to me car. I've determined that I have a Kakimoto exhaust from at least the downpipe back (I haven't confirmed the downpipe yet). It has a catalytic converter. Other than the company branding on the exhaust tip, I can only find one other marking. Behind the cat and under the car is a plate that has the numbers "NF307FP" and "M11111". Unfortunately, the Kakimoto website is written in Japanese and my browser won't translate it. I found that Nengun sells the brand, but my exhaust doesn't look like their current offering. They do indicate that each pipe is custom made, but I assume that's more of an inventory control thing than some sort of special, vehicle specific tuning. Anyone have a guess about what I have here? I'm getting ready to throw some dollars at tuning this car, but want to make good decisions. No reason to throw out a perfectly good exhaust system, if this thing will equal a full custom build.
    • Congrats on the progress. That's got to feel good to get the build done/mostly done. Now that you're this deep into it, I'm curious if you'd do it again versus finding a 5MT from the get go?
    • G.G.C. (Gibier German Cook) restaurant in Motomachi in Kobe: A tiny 2 floor restaurant that was founded in 1976. The original couple who owned/ran it retired and sold the business to a corporation who pretty much tried to keep it the same as it was.  Lots of lesser known (to me anyway) German beers available.  Venison with vegetables. The meat came from deer from Hokkaido. The chef told us that there's a whole industry around the use of all parts of the deer from the antlers to the hooves. Sure enough, directly accross the street from this restaurant is a shop that sells all manner of utensils, clothes and objet d'art all made from deer skin, bones and horns.... also owned by the same corporation. The venison was super tender 😋 Various decorations, a lot of which were quite old, no doubt from the original owners. A nice pilsner too which I'd never seen before.  It's well worth a visit but check the opening hours, they're closed on Wednesdays, only open 11:30am - 3pm on Mondays and Tuedays, 11:30am-3pm for lunch and 5pm-11:30pm on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, and 11:30am-3pm and 5pm-9pm on Sundays. Last order is 30mins before close.
    • Yep around 2m long or thereabouts.  I made another post in the photo diaries 17 years later lol. I swear it has not been that long!
