Steel mill millwright here.. don’t hate on adjustable wrenches until you use a bacho adjustable wrench.. Kline also has a great 10” adjustable spud wrench.. also pneumatic pen engravers are great for extracting taps or broken bolts especially smaller sizes. I would definitely recommend having one in the shop especially for restoring stuff it’s almost a guaranteed you’ll shear the head of a bolt off lol

In car or bike resto - the thread detective is invaluable.

Order is placed for a pack of Big Thumbs. Aaron's top 5 tools should be a monthly thing. (Sorry Tay) Something about Aaron's delivery on the subject held my interest in much the same way as when I watch Adam Savage do the same.

More Aaron please!

Bahco wrench. One side alligator, one side adjustable

I would love to see more videos about tools. All those tools that are just used daily and make metal fabrication go just that bit more smoothly.

I really liked both your tool videos both Tay and Aaron showcased some tools I’ve never seen before that would be a really handy edition to the shop. Make more of these videos pleeeeease!!!

I am not a welder or hardcore metal worker, but I am a novice, self-taught jewelry artist / metalsmith and I LOVE my tools! I confess, I am a tool addict so I can totally relate! Love all your videos. You guys are so fun, talented and extremely entertaining. Keep it up! And, just for chuckles, I thought I would mention that I am once again craving Swedish fish! : )

if it was 50 tools, i would have watched the whole thing. i added the thread detective to my amazon cart.

Knipex has a great alternative to the alligator wrench; Pliers wrenches. I bought a small and large one for work and they are awesome. They have smooth jaws and the harder you push, the harder they pinch which has saved me a lot of knuckle pain..

my FIRE BALL shims are defiantly at the top of my list

Well hell, you just solved a whole bunch of problems! 🎉 Thanks for sharing!

Good selection Aaron! The screw pliers and marker, in particular. Speaking of broken taps, I just discovered a great product to remove a tap thats broken off below the surface, and won't budge with a punch. I'll just describe them, as I think if I attach a link, my comment will be removed. Do a search for Armor Drills, and Armor Mills. They're a small Made in the USA company in New England, that make carbide drills and end mills specifically for removing broken taps, and they are amazing! You can peck drill a busted tap out of the hole in a matter of seconds. They're like having a sinker EDM! The catch is, you have to use them in either a milling machine, or a very rigid drill press. Hope you guys have a great 2024!

Thank you guys so much for all the inspiration. TIME to get my welding skills going! Just got a tig, mig and plasma cutter!❤

Seams like my question will not get answered, because any other comment when by the way with no answer... Anyway how long do the inside jaws in the end of the pliers last before they loose there grip?

I have the "vamplire" brand and they have lasted a good while and show no signs of wear.

For the Thread Detective, just have your intern wear it around their neck. You do have an intern, right? Right?

yall know Bezos stepped down as CEO lol
