    Here are a few of the odd bent and very useful wrenches I've accumulated over the years......

    The older 9/16 and 5/8 I use more than the others.... I have a complete set of the MAC bent wrenches from 3/8 to 7/8..... LOL I never use the Mac ones they were covered in dust....

          I have a few trick tools I like and use a fair bit, here's a few of them...……….
          1st is an Optical centre punch,... spot on every time, has a cross hair sight that you put over a marking out line, remove the optic, place in the punch & blamo ….
          2nd is a mini pipe wrench I have had for 40+ years and is so fecking usefull i'd hate to lose it !!
          3rd are my set of square eazy outs with flute to lock into the drilled hole,... wont expand a bolt jamming it even more and far less likely to shear and really fuck ya day up like the left handed spiral ones do ,
          4th are my set of TOLLE motor stands for big twins, if ya Know of TOLLE from Sweden you will know the quality...
          5th is a great bit of kit for finding the centre of a round bar or marking out an exact half of a bar or ring or washer......

              Don't get to use it all that much, most Folks will buy a Cam set with the gears made on...

              What's so great about weld-on lobes is you get to keep the factory gears in play...





              I did this mod on my XR with the Red-Shift 570 lobes and also on my Buell with using Leineweber L5-T lobes ....

                TOLLE will send anywhere in the world, i'm based in England and they got here in about 3 days.
                the price is about $54 (510 Swedish Krona) plus shipping,....
                not the cheapest but as I say, great quality and fit flat in a toolbox...……… https://www.tolle-engineering.se/sto...-stands-495923

                        A proportional divider has been very useful to me over the years.

                            Documenting the unusual tools is a good thing. That's the first I've heard of that one.
