On week 2 of (sort of) thorough organization of the garage/workshop. Hours and hours of sorting, organizing, labeling, entering on Excel so I can find the darn stuff later. Now on to tools gathered in various plastic drawers etc. around the house.

Finally! My Sig Armorer's Tool, gift of Bruce Gray in probably 2006-7. Thanks, Bruce!

Mine is on the bench in the garage! Sometimes it pays to have a stash of old tools.

Pretty sure I have one of those in a range bag somewhere.

Dang, I didn't know they stopped making those, glad I got one when I did.

That whole "not available anywhere" thing makes me want to borrow one and see if I can duplicate it. Cool

Digging through some very carefully organized storage boxes placed on neatly organized shelving ,
While searching for something totally unrelated.
I came across 35 pounds of ammo I forgot I had.

Looks like they made some cosmetic changes over the years.
I think I got mine around 2010 or 2011.

Back in 2010 I found 1000 round of 9mm ammo I forgot I had stored in my garage.

I did a bit of garage cleaning and I found things I had no recollection of having. I bought a set of impact sockets a couple months ago. I just found an second identical, unused set. No idea when I got it.

Advantage of Amazon: faster than finding your lost tool.
Diadvantage: now you have three of them.

Somewhere in the house or garage is a 640rd spam can of 7.62x39 I bought from SG (Buyer's Club) for $45.

Seems like quite a few designs of the same tool. Had no idea they had become so scarce. Here's mine that I also picked up off the forum:
