there was a bike coop in my old college town which was neat. they had all the tools you need for bikes, so like basic drivers, chain wrenches, truing stands, etc. at some point i needed a bottom bracket tool to so i bought one and donated it to the coop. you could build a bike from their scrap pile which was fun. it was all 100% free, except if you bought like new cables or a tube or something.

echinopsis posted:it’s not truly in the spirit of the thread but I wanna give a shout-out to mains powered electric drills a corded drill is the only one i have in my house right now. mostly because i just want it to last forever. imo the big downside to corded drills is they typically don’t have a clutch, so you can’t set them to nicely stop at a given torque. gotta feather it or hand drive so you don’t strip fasteners or over-tighten into wood. that and the limited range but it’s been mostly fine with (appropriately sized) extension cords.

a chainsaw is one of those tools i’d use once or twice so i can’t justify buying one. i’ve got a lovely invasive common buckthorn on the corner of my house though and drat would it feel good to rip it down and paint the stump in herbicide.

i had one of those tiny leatherman ones like jonny posted earlier, but with just scissors and no wire stripping/pliers part. i forgot it in my pocket when i went for a flight so i had to trash it.

rotor posted:i've never noticed this tree before but the pix i see make it seem like they're on the small side, like 4-6" trunk max? If so you absolutely dont need a chainsaw, just get a pruning saw or just a plain old big handsaw and go to town. Take maybe 20 minutes. yeah i've got a fiskars saw like that that i chopped down the other smaller trees around the house. the big one is just a bit over 6" and probably 10-15' tall so i'll think about trying it out myself. i think the only problem is that they really need herbicide applied to the stump immediately after felling because they produce lots of suckers. so i'd have to get through the trunk within like 5-10 minutes so the vascular part of the trunk is fresh enough to suck up the herbicide.
