What tool do we no longer need ?

[72c20customcamper]

Only reason I bought it it was 75% off at Tractor supply . I did end up using it on some black pipe at my rental house

I said a long time ago, 'I'll never sell a tool". Tools come to me on a one way ticket. If I need money I'll sell something else. Tools can make me money.

Larry, I noticed you haven't listed the tire iron/4-way/star wrench you mentioned in your impact gun thread

not as big, but a homeowner gave me a couple of grey colored pipe wrenches that are cast for using at a different angle. I guess they are left hand monkey wrenches . I wonder if I'll ever use them.

I meant a 4 way lug wrench ,that I have ,,but it is only a 14 inch one,, If I had a bigger one ,,then I could probably get the lug nuts turned ,,BUT,, a 20 volt impact can do more than just lug nuts ,,(not decided yet to buy one or not) I am all over the place with my thoughts of what I want and what need anymore ,,maybe it's my age ..

I have used a 36 inch Aluminum pipe wrench in day in construction ,,they work alright and for sure not as heavy ..

My wife bought me this church key. I collect them but really never use them. It's from the Concord Hotel (resort?) in the Catskills. Ever heard of it Mark?

I'm going to have my knife guy polish it up. He's good. And replace the missing Rhinestone.



It's heavy.

That is for sure the neatest bottle opener I ever seen , I look for these kinds of things at garage sales and so far I have only a couple that do not look like the stamped out models.. be sure and post a photo of it after it gets it' zing zang or what ever they called it..

Aint it somethin. I've got a bunch of them but they are all the stamped steel with different logo's on them. I've never seen one like this. I think it'll look good when my buddy gets done with it. He's a real perfectionist. He restores antiques and you can't tell. They still look old but they look really good.

I'll never use it. I collect bottle openers too and I like them much more.

I have a friend that bites the tops off of beer bottles. It gives me the creeps. I'm waiting for him to bust a tooth but he never does.

I have more than once used a five foot cheater pipe on a pipe wrench.

The other half usually jammed into something on my old tractor. Either it comes loose, breaks, or the tractor turns over

I've have actually stayed there in the late 60s and 70s. My dad worked for Metropolitan ins and they had conferences there where the Employes would do workshops and meetings and the families would enjoy the resort

How about the guy (Dennis Loyst) in Ventura Ca. from the Surf Brewery that opens bottles of beer within the eye area ? I think it is he right eye if that makes any difference ..LOL

Yeah but I like the wall mount ones better. The church key ones are fussy.

I don't know how anybody can open a bottle with their eye? I did go to a place once called the Fox Inn in Pasadena and the owner (Fox) would stand on his head and drink a pitcher of beer in seconds. He was later on The Man Show.

It might not have been a pitcher. It could have been a big mug. But he would empty it right out upside down.

I keep a painter's tool in my truck to open gourmet soda pop. You know, the thing they give you when you buy paint with a bottle opener at one end (how long since we needed that for paint products?) and a paint can opener at the other. Those can be tedious opening a bee...or I mean pop. Beats using my eye socket, though. My straight claw hammer works better. But I even have antique painter's tools with obscure paint company names on them. I'm with you on the wall mounts. I have a Squirt one mounted by the fridge in the kitchen, a coke in my screen house, and another in my barn shop.

[Steeveedee]

I have and use the paint can/bottle opener all the time. If I can't find it, I have to use wire cutters, and that's dangerous. I've chipped the edge of the bottle that way. Had to pour the pop through a cheesecloth to avoid shards.

[GOPAPA]

I have used different parts of my cars and trucks before to open bottles ,, under my steeing wheel was one and the bumper.. ,,them old cars and trucks had a lot of places I have used ..just depended on who I was with when I needed it done

[special-K]

I remember that, Larry. pre-73s, most of them, had bumpers you could open a bottle between the fender and bumper. I never noticed all the cars that should have a dent there.

Here we are on the 67-72 Chevy Trucks site talking about opening bottles and haven't mentioned the wonderfully designed 68-72 seat belts that are actually retractable bottle openers.

[Ol Blue K20]

I used to use the female end of older GM seat belts to open bottles. I still do it with "Blues" belt...

[yuccales]

Used this in the late '70's at the dealership.
