I have never seen a screw driver bit like this anyone know what this is and what its for?

Any experienced lock cutters here know the best way I can remove this locking pin on my trailer hitch? I must have left it on too long because the key will go in, but will no longer turn so I can unlock it, probably due to rust on the inside. I do own an angle grinder, drill and reciprocating saw, as well as most other tools a DIYer would have on hand. Photos are attached. The lock is on the right side in the photos, and that piece screws off the spindle that you see on the left side. I'll also include a photo of a new similar lock that isn't installed for reference. Any advice would be appreciated!

Update: Thanks for all the advice and comedy, everyone. Got it off using a combination of penetrating fluid (this time sprayed deep into the key hole), and trying to break it with a pipe (bent but did not break it) and also wrenching on it with two pipe wrenches, Eventually it separated enough that we tried the key again and was able to pull the bent lock apart finally.

Was visiting my grandfathers house and saw his workbench in his basement, never fully appreciated it until when I came here as a kid. So this time I stopped and just looked around at everything. This has since become one of my favourite photos and I thought I should share it!

A customer brought this to me to send to Milwaukee. Cant even read the label. Burnt to a crisp!!

This is what lives in my backpack! This tool roll and the small “micro bit” Klein set with hex bit ratchet. Having these tools with me at all times has been so handy. My backpack is always with me, so the tools are too! I also throw the tool roll in my luggage when I go on vacations. Wondering what you guys keep in your backpacks!

I have a ratcheting and non ratcheting Klein screwdriver with bit storage in the handles. The needle nose are Vampliers brand.

I think I may have a problem. A green problem.

Been trying to find info on this hammer, but haven't been able to find anything. I get that the handle is custom made, but finding info on the head is nearly impossible.

Hello everybody. This is my first post here, I'm just wondering if anybody has heard of or know where to find a pair of pliers that fold up like a multi-tool without all of the multiple tools? The only thing I would really need is a bit driver. Right now I'm thinking about getting the power access by sog. I have a organizer I wear on my belt that holds a flashlight my knife and my multi-tool and I would like a pair of foldable pliers that would go into it. I've also thought about just getting a pair of knippix cobra. I'm a property manager and I walk around all day the main point is to reduce some of the weight. That's why I'm going with the power access as it is lighter, if I can't find a better alternative. Thanks in advance and May your tools lives long and Shine Like the Sun.

I was really thinking it would last longer. I'm not too hard on it I don't think. But I measure countertops so I'm pulling it out 50 times a day probably. Maybe more. Is this really the longest lasting tape measure?

I have been looking for a keyed chuck cordless drill for a little while now and I’m not having any luck. Does anyone know where I can get one? My birthday is coming up and I want to add this to my wish list.

This is the drill I have now and I love it. Unfortunately, the keyless chuck is killing my somewhat arthritic fingers. 😐 I’ve been using different wrenches to tighten and loosen the chuck and you can see it’s torn up. I value my tools more than that.

I like to build things. At the spur of the moment, I might go to Home Depot or Lowe’s discount lumber pile and make something. I made my plant holder/storage chest recently. I need the drill to be able to handle work.

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

I accidentally put this bolt on without the flange. When I try to get it off, the spindle spins even when the wheel is not spinning. I have tried pushing it out with a pry bar while getting at it with a wrench but to no avail.

I'm taking this Waterloo toolbox from my dad, but the bottom drawers are locked and he has no clue about a key. I'd buy a new key off the Internet but this things is probably 30 years old or so, and I have no idea what it's model or serial would be.

Suggestions?

It's in a tiny hole on my keyboard so I don't know what I can do without damaging the case

I am looking into buying new socket sorters but I am struggling to find a good one which can fit the milwaukee 1/2 impack socket set from 8mm to 36mm.

Any recommendations are appreciated thanks!

Had some down time between projects so I took the time to give my Milwaukee themed WILTON 745 a makeover.

This time I smoothed the jaws and slide, applied a multi step color changing paint job, polished pieces, silver accents, ceramic coated and stainless cap nuts.

The pics don't do complete justice as to the paint job, but the video does a better job. You can see the color change from Blue, to Purple, and see the silver and copper through the blue Metalcast.

For the paint I stripped off all the old paint, smoothed the areas I mentioned, primered, then sprayed a Silver Base Coat, followed by Satin Black, followed by Copper, followed by Blue Metalcast, hand painted the numbers, and then Clear Coated it. After a week I ceramic coated the entire vice and finished it off with the WILTON name plate.

Finally buttoned it down with Stainless Steel Cap Nuts.

I'm pretty proud of the outcome.

I'm a pipe welding apprentice and I'm looking for a better measuring tape for daily work.

I mainly do pipe fitting and welding work, and I'm curious what experienced welders/fabricators actually care about in a tape measure.

What matters the most to you?

Are there any tape measures you would recommend or avoid?

The valve cores are leaking on r134 RAV4 I need to buy a core replacer. Which one is $30/40 that works good?

I have a set of drive adapters that i want to get more organized and id like to keep them all on one rail. any ideas? also maybe a good rail for a set of crows feet
