That elegant implement that made your work or hobby task so efficient, it was almost an ecstatically pleasurable exercise. Here's my el cheapo strap wrench, which made replacing the salt generator cell in my pool plumbing quick, easy and no injuries:  The credit card beating at the pool supply store for the replacement part was breathtaking. I'm good for at least another 4 years. I hope. ____________________ | ||

And it has a bottle opener in the non-business end. Clearly a cool pool tool. "I vowed to myself to fight against evil more completely and more wholeheartedly than I ever did before. . . .

Is that a Fetzer valve?  | |||

It’s a Fumoto valve for way easier oil pan draining. Got ‘em on all our cars. "Common sense is wisdom with its sleeves rolled up." -Kyle Farnsworth "Freedom of Speech does not guarantee freedom from consequences." -Mike Rowe "Democracies aren't overthrown, they're given away." -George Lucas | |||

I bought this Schwaben 6 Liter Fluid Extractor from ECS Tuning...And it's AWESOME! --> https://www.ecstuning.com/b-sc...system/007221sch01a/  I also purchased this Schwaben Dipstick Oil Change Tube Set to go with it, and it works on my '10 Audi S5 and both of my Volvos ('09 S60 & '13 XC70) --> https://www.ecstuning.com/b-sc...be-set/013810sch01a/ I use it for Oil Changes and specifically got this Schwaben Extractor because it will pump out the drain oil instead of having to pour the tall column of oil out of it, risking spills. In the winter, you don't even have to get under the car...And assuming your oil filter takes a replaceable element, it's located in the engine bay and you don't have to fight with to get it out of the housing, you may not even get you hands dirty! With the engine warm (hot?), I can extract 6 liters of oil and then pump it into my waste oil container in a total of eight minutes!  ____________________________________________________________ If Some is Good, and More is Better.....then Too Much, is Just Enough !!

I have them on all my vehicles also very handy and no mess. Made changing my oil on my Motor home very easy. 10 gals of oil is hard to manage, but being able to cut the flow to change out 5 gal pails sure made my life easier. ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ | |||

Prepared for the Worst, Providing the Best |
This week it's been these, particularly that Estwing on the right, but the Dewalt got a good workout, too. Ripped out 4 termite-damaged walls at the in-laws house on my days off. Re-framed, added a few windows, re-sheeted, and re-sided. Finished up about 4:00pm this afternoon. Back to work tomorrow...looking forward to the break! Love that hammer, though. The grip really does reduce fatigue over a plain wooden handle, the "full-tang" design makes it basically unbreakable, it's got enough mass to drive nails with minimal effort, and enough leverage to pry just about anything loose...even snap boards if you have to. It's a quality tool. I have a smaller one that my 15 year-old son used most of the week, but he kept trying to steal my big one. After we finished up this evening he had me take him to Rural King and he bought his own 28oz.  | |||

I must be a pansy as my Estwing (E3-16S) hammer is only 16oz. Thought I'd lost it and bought a replacement and then, of course, I found the misplaced one.  At least Bob Vila agrees with my Estwing choice. https://www.bobvila.com/articles/best-hammer/ Certifiable member of the gun toting, septuagenarian, bucket list workin', crazed retiree, bald is beautiful club!

I like my little one, too, but for framing the longer handle and heavier head are a huge benefit, especially when you're trying to replace studs in existing structure and don't have the advantage of being able to put the whole wall together and then set it in place. | |||

I agree the Estwing hammer is my favorite hammer that I own. My model is not the framing head but smoothed surface. Comfortable ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ | |||

I was replacing some wood trim in the master BR closet and was using this to final fit the trim.  Not high tech but most pleasurable to use. | |||
