Don't buy what proponents of #AI are selling.They said the same thing about
#Computers , adjustable #wrenches and
#Dishwashers. Thankfully no one ever suggested the washer and dryer would one day become self aware and rule the world. At least until the power goes out. These people are unwell...

I need an efficient way to keep #wrenches in my #workshop (a problem common to every #machinist I think).

Combination wrenches (those with the ring, top left in the pic) are easy to hang, but double open-end wrenches?

Until now I keep them between two corks screwed to a board, but this requires a lot of space.

Suggestions?

I think it was with a channel lock wrench that turning it similar to how shown, with the fix end at back, made it much easier to turn in that the loading on the adjustable handle was virtually eliminated.

There's a reason tools are designed the way they were and having changed in the last 100 or so years. L

Look what I found at the hardware store!
"Honey, hand me the 13mm wrench. The pink one! The pink one!" ๐Ÿ˜…
No. I didn't buy them. I thought about it tho ๐Ÿ˜

Wrenches, used for gripping, turning, or twisting an object, are one of the hand tools used in a machine shop.

Good hand tools. e.g. for #drivers and #wrenches and whatnot, Wiha or Wera, etc. I bought cheap stuff for years, then stepped up to "good brand at the home centre", before finally biting the bullet and buying good stuff.

I wish I'd started there, or got to it faster. I spent more on #crap- and semi-crap stuff than I eventually did on the good stuff, which will last my life and that of whoever gets them when I'm dead.

Hackers can infect network-connected wrenches to install ransomware

Researchers identify 23 vulnerabilities, some of which can exploited with no authentication.

A couple of shots from the studio last night - spanners on a reflective board.
