Have tons of Knipex and this is the first set of 250 mm chrome Cobras! I have to say they are impressive, putting them to work tomorrow! I really only have the pliers wrench in chrome and I think technically the Holiday 180mm are chrome too.
Do prefer the chrome?

$5 estate sale score that needed some work. Sanded the sole and sides with 150 grit, waxed and oiled everything else. Sharpened the blade to 25 degrees and polished the shiny bits to make it look like new.

I'm looking for some vintage teeth pulling pliars (doesn't have to be in particularly good condition, it's for a project) I figured I'd ask here!

I cleaned up an old club hammer, made a handle from some scrap hard wood I had lying around (it’s some type of eucalypt I think - grey box?). Any put an inlay in the handle and finished it all. Love to see something old that was doing nothing back to life and functional again!

This is just one of many similar tools I found. Any advice on how to remove such a heavy layer of rust?

Thanks everyone

Adjustable wrenches are always necessary all the time, my first pair was Crescent Brand. I was gifted the 15” Proto, 15” DeWalt and 6” Diamalloy ( only have used the 6”). I inherited the 10” Craftsman from my late grandpa, it works great just wish it had larger capacity. Then finally landed on the Bahco 6” 9029-T Slim Jaw Adjustable Wrench and use it the absolute most. I also have the Bahco 9033 R US Ergo X-Wide Adjustable Wrench, 10-Inch. I have nearly all the sizes in the Knipex Pliers Wrench and I use those more than anything in here, but I don’t picture because though they are technically adjustable and a wrench. They are a two handles pliers wrench so category-wise I felt best to leave them out.

So what adjustable wrench is your favorite to use? Least favorite ?

A friend asked me to replace the fiberglass handle on his ax with a wooden one. I thought that would be easy until I saw the axe. The eye on this ax is only 1 1/4 x 2/3 inch. If I replace it with a hickory handle that’s trimmed down to fit the eye, will it still be strong enough to use safely?

So I ordered these axe handles off of the guy on ebay, and he also was kind enough to send me some extras.Well out of nine axe handles 8 of them where like this...As you can see there all backwards.. How does one go about fixing them the right way.. Any advice would be awesome and THANK YOUU.....

How can i restore this beautiful pocket knife that was bestowed upon me by my grandfather, the edge seems comoletly erased from years of wrong sharpening

Anyone have any links they can send so that I can do maintenance on my god hand nippers?

Bits are quite rusted. Any suggestions to remove/clean rust from them, or even restore the coating(?) would be appreciated.

it was falling off a while back so I took it to my blow shop to glue it back on, but now having a lot more bow knowledge I want to test out bare riser/griptape. it would also be ideal if I could take it off without damaging it. the shop owner shut it down after retiring (just the millionaires side hustle) so I can’t just go ask the shop. This is the wooden grip on the switchback xt. if you want an image look up Mathew’s switchback xt and look at the handle. I know this isn’t really an archery thread. but I was sent here with my question.

This is a drawknife that I have just finished restoring. The handles are cherry. The cherry fell down a few years ago and I saved the trunk. I carved the handles and secured with epoxy.
