I was working in a restaurant long time ago above the ceiling and my mini cutter fell into the wall, since it was a reno I cut a square at the bottom to retrieve it!

I lost my old Elkay wrench or misplaced it, but found one on sake today at Lowes for $4

I decided to buy one and try it out. I like that it’ll recharge my phone.
It’ll probably get clipped on my bug out bag.
If y'all want a good flashlight just get you a desalt or Milwaukee cordless battery flashlight,you already gots lots of battery's and they last a long time and real Brite,that's all we use now
Rocky was talking about bucket vacuums.
But yes, I use the lights you’re talking about plus about 3-4 other lights.
I like flashlights, I have a pile of them.
I ordered me another 6’ general closet auger with the drop head.
They’re the beast of the best. I’ve used them all I think and I like the one above the best.
I believe the general clears the toilet with less effort on the operators part.

I was planning on using an old gun case with the soft lining inside.
Imagine the complex viruses and bacteria that would be found there. 🤣. Probably start a new species,
Talking about lights. I really like this one for all kinds of stuff, work and home. Plug in or battery, 7’ height adjustment. Quick set up.

Do you know where I can find some Bibb screw taps that are in screwdriver form that the taps fit into the hollow handle for storage ?
craftsman use to make them. I can’t find one like it anywhere.
I have the handle type tap holders but would like something smaller like I use to have along with tap storage onboard.

They made one a little different than this one That I’ve had before and lost….a few times 😐

I also have a screwdriver style handle that holds those size taps in the shaft, it uses a set screw, but the handle is solid. I also have the Klein handle with a reversible bit that has 3 stepped sizes on each end, of course that's no good for a blind hole. The Klein version has replaceable bits(Set screw), you could replace the stepped taps with standard ones, hollow out the handle, and use a pipe plug or cap. Unfortunately they changed it so the tap bit is no longer held in with a set screw, you'd have to find an old model to modify.
Multi-Bit Tap Tool Driver
Klein Tools Multi-Bit Tap Tool Driver increases your job speed by combining your taps and drivers in one tool. Available in six common tap sizes, the tool comes with four screwdriver tips and three nut driver sizes. The large Cushion-Grip™ handle provides greater torque and comfort. Work smarter...
I can't say I've ever seen the craftsman version you speak of. You could take the shaft from a solid handle type and attach it to a handle with storage. There's no shortage of screwdrivers with storage handles, just need to find one that takes 2" bits so the taps don't rattle on each other.
I will keep my out open for what you speak of.
Yeah, my dummy self bought the Klein version without really looking at it and you can only use the first tap size in a blind hole 😐. So I think I threw the SOB in a box amongst the pile 🤣
Here's the really old Klein version.
I have several of this old one but also have a newer one that has the nice handle but two sets of multistep taps. I can't seem to find the one I have online.

This is your go-to tool when creating new threads. Add machine screws to just about any material from metal to wood. Use it to form new threads, re-form burred threads or clean out plaster obstructions.

I’m going to look for the taps I need with 1/4” driver shanks. Then I could use the taps in any bit holder.
That would be ideal. I tend to forget they started putting 1/4" hex shanks on everything now. Then you'd just need a screwdriver handle with storage.
A cool little trick I’ve used before to repair a faucet seat temporarily or not so temporarily
…….until the can get the correct seat installed.
File the broke area out and get to good brass at the margins. Similar to what a dentist does to a decayed tooth.
Then heat it up with your torch and fill the area with solder letting it be bigger than it needs to be.
Then take various files or a dremel and filing away the excess.
Got the idea from how a dentist does a tooth.
For small imperfections you can just sand or file the seat smooth but above is for really those emergency situations or temp repair.

Yes, that’s like the one I bought but only the two ends would do what I neeed and I think they where the wrong size. So it was a bust for my intended purpose.
Yes, that's an old trick that works pretty well. Often you'll find the solder lasts longer than the rest of the seat if the water is corrosive.
If you need to remove a good amount of solder you can just use a reseating tool meant for nonremovable seats. I've occasionally used a seat tool on removable seats I didn't have a replacement for.
Just break off the wrong size so the size you want is first.
You can replace those stepped taps with standard taps.
