The Fallen tools thread

RIP heroes of the garage, tool bag, the bread and butter.

This one hurt. Proto 1/2-3/8 drive adapter. Easily dates back to the 60s and has been up until now the only one I haven't broken.

That looks like the effect of a cheater bar of the end of something that should have been bigger to begin wit! lol.

Does that say not guaranteed on the bottom?

Guilty. My Craftsman 1/2-3/8 was dealt the same death blow.

Looking at that diff cover in the background that makes the Titanic wreckage look clean, I'd say your intentions weren't entirely pure when you used a 1/2 to 3/8 adapter.

Because.... Dana 60. Everybody needs a few of them as spares. On the way home from work. With the improper tools to start with.

I feel your pain, I just bought a set of 05 super duty axles... they look like they are in about the same shape...

You'd be fine if you were a professional and wearing safety goggles as indicated on the adapter.

$1200 vacuum exploded, only 3 years old. Ordered a new one this week, should be here next week. I don't have a pic of the motor bearing that froze and destroyed my sander but a sad week for James Wilmoth Flooring...

Yea, it said "may break". But it held for over 40 years! Not like some Exploding vacuum. Made, where?
