Metrinch sockets and spanners

When you get a rounded bolt or nut they're the only tool that can undo and do them back up again.

They don't damage nuts and bolts NASA use Metrinch

Went to a garage sale today.
Picked up a hydraulic garage bearing press for $40.00
Needs some TLC but will be great when changing out bearings, which will be rarely ( I change the caravan bearings every 2 years.

But with some mods, I can use it to bend materials as well, so for me , it's money well spent.
