Tools That Are NEVER Used!!

[CADplans]

I went looking for a 3/4" crow foot wrench (I KNOW I got one!!,, somewhere??) and I kept running into the odd tools I have never used.

Most of them came in a large roll around chest that I bought second-hand off a Saturday radio buy/sell show, about 30 years ago.

LOTS of Snap-On,, I could not resist,,
BUT,,
I ended up with some mechanics tools that just get pushed around.

A starter wrench, some odd "ratchet" wrenches,, a combo tool that is for some sort of engine work?? a double offset open end wrench,,

We all have some,,

Show us the tools that you never use!!

I think that may violate the TOS.

I purchased a Milwaukee magnetic drill in 1993, definetly paid for itself over the 7 years I did used it.
Sold it to a small machine shop recently, after not using it for over 20 years.

Lots of fire extinguishers.
And I'm proud of it.

The wrench in the center, with two 90° bends , is a wrench to adjust valves and injectors on a Detroit Diesel 71 series engine. The big curved one on the right, might be used on starter bolts on those engines. A smaller, 1/2" wrench like that was needed to remove the back bolt on the fuel pumps and water pumps on the DD 71s.
