#Tools that should be in #every #mans #Toolbox

Dan The Metalworking Man is here today to talk about some tools that any MAN worth his salt better have in his toolbox.  Some of these may seem very basic but that is the beauty of it all.
Let me recommend a few and see what y'all think.
Stanley Knives Gray Enamel Finish
Utility Knife 
Tools that should be in every mans Toolbox
http://www.lighttoolsupply.com/knife
It's beauty is in it's simplicity. Not designed for one purpose. From cutting batts of insulation to opening packages and taking paint off paint covered screws. This is a must have for any toolbox or weekend repairman. You call yourself a handyman you better have one of these.
 
General Center Punch Sets
 
Center Punch

Tools that should be in every mans Toolbox

These tools are not just for starting holes in metal. You can use it to tighten a loose knife handle or shovel by centering the punch on the rivet and then hitting it with a ball-peen hammer, expanding the rivets head. Try a spring loaded one for ease of use and accuracy.
 
 Empire Torpedo Levels
Level

Tools that should be in every mans Toolbox
http://www.lighttoolsupply.com/levels
There is a multiple uses for this tool and you can have more than one in your toolbox. For really precise applications use a laser level. Mount it on a stand and the laser will rotate 360 degrees projecting a visible level line.
 
 
 
Gorilla Glue
Glue
http://www.lighttoolsupply.com/glue
Tools that should be in every mans Toolbox

For many jobs a polyurethane glue like Gorilla Glue will be a great way to solve many of your problems. Gorilla Glue is very strong and sticks to a variety of surfaces. Another cool thing is it has a cool name. Get some Gorilla today!!!
 
 
 

Precise High Speed Steel Drill Sets

Precise High Speed Steel Drill Sets


 
Drill Bit

Tools that should be in every mans Toolbox
http://www.lighttoolsupply.com/drillbit
Use them for drilling wood and most plastics. For industrial use, it is probably better to get a set of titanium coated sets.
Remember that heat and friction will slowly take away the bits honed edge.
You can purchase a Drill Dr (which Light Tool Supply also sells) to sharpen up those dull drill bits back to their original sharpness.
 
OldForge Cold Chisel
Cold Chisel

 http://www.lighttoolsupply.com/coldchisel
Tools that should be in every mans Toolbox-
Use this tool to cut through bolts, rivets, and pins. Using the chisel cold as opposed to torch or forged heating for the same result. Strike the chisel with a Ball-peen hammer. Always wear safety glasses and never use it on stone or concrete.

#Surface Roughness Testing



They are many devices you can use to test the Surface Roughness of a metal part.  Surface Metrology is the measurement of small-scale features on surfaces.  When choosing a unit, it all depends on how much money you want to spend and the various features each tester has.  Some of them are Made in China and usually are less expensive.  Below are a few that I recommend at various price levels.

Phase II Surface Roughness Gauge

    Dan the #Metalworking Man found his pilots for his Private Plane

    You know being in the Metalworking business I make a boatload of money.   So when these girls asked to fly my Private Jet what was I suppose to do?  They were hired on the spot.  I will keep you up to date on how they are doing.


    .

    Who makes a really good #Electronic Micrometer?


    Over the years this conversation comes up all the time with #Tool and Die makers and Metalworkers.
    Who makes the best Electronic Micrometer for the money?  Times are tough these days and when I spend some Cashola I want what I buy to be a good value and last a long time.  I have to say that #Mitutoyo make a hell of a good Micrometer.  In fact they make everything good.  This Company which is based in Japan has been around a very long time and they make their product in the typical Japanese way.  They take pride in what they make and care about what their customers think.
