Pile of free tools

[vonslatt@mas.to]

@MLE_online those soldering irons are great! I got one from the town dump a couple of years ago, tips are still available.

[zackstern@hachyderm.io]

@MLE_online I thought you just got free tools hah. Anything you need here?

[mle_online@social.afront.org]

@zackstern nah, i have so many tools already

[mle_online@social.afront.org]

@vonslatt i thoooouuught about it, but i left it there. I just don't need more stuff

[mle_online@social.afront.org]

@Andres4NY i dunno. The scavenging god has blessed me

[foundthefault@tech.lgbt]

@MLE_online The fun thing about the really old 18v One+ Ryobi tools like that drill is you can use their modern lithium batteries with them.

[mle_online@social.afront.org]

@foundthefault yeah they don't know the difference as long as the voltage is close. My Ridgid tools had nicad batteries originally but i built a lithium pack for them

Four more nitrous valves for the valve collection

#ridefinds

[wagesj45@mastodon.jordanwages.com]

@MLE_online you have to have dozens of those at this point. who is dropping nitrous valves like they're sonic rings??

[chipperdoodles@chaos.social]

@MLE_online i was scrolling and my partner saw this and read "nutritious" instead of nitrous and we both went 'om nom nom'. I told her i think emily would appreciate this

[mle_online@social.afront.org]

@wagesj45 people who like to party!

And yea, dozens. I should count and see how many there actually are. I've just been weighing them.

[mle_online@social.afront.org]

@chipperdoodles full of copper and zinc, vitamins that we all need

[c_dan4th@mstdn.social]

@MLE_online And Fancy Pants too. Be still my heart!

[ferrix@mastodon.online]

@MLE_online I have that exact soldering pistol

[mle_online@social.afront.org]

@ferrix I wanted to bring it home

[ferrix@mastodon.online]

@MLE_online must have bought it over 30 years ago from radio snack . It's a tank, but not exactly state of the art

[mle_online@social.afront.org]

@ferrix my dad had one like that. I think he still does

[mdione@en.osm.town]

@vonslatt my father had one like that! It should technically still work, but I guess it is already gone...

@MLE_online sounds like one could make a wooden cabinet, scribble 'communal tools' on it, and put all that inside...

@MLE_online @vonslatt

"I just don't need more stuff"

ok what have you done with the real Emily?

[ruenahcmohr@infosec.exchange]

@MLE_online If you find a weller soldering gun that has got copper windings, get it, they dont make them anymore and they are leagues better than the new aluminum ones.
