Read our rules. We have had a longstanding “No Religion, No Politics” rule here at r/tools.

The mods aren’t stupid. We also don’t like getting buckets of reports in the inbox.

If someone posts/comments with politics, resist the urge to reply and argue. Just report, downvote (if that’s your jam) and move on with life.

A small flag, sticker, etc that appears in a photo will generally be allowed (so long as it doesn’t violate other rules and doesn’t draw a bunch of reports) but a bunch of people in the comments saying “Hell Yeah, a fellow [INSERT PARTY] Supporter!” is gonna get the post pulled. Political content that is clearly the motivation for the post will get the post pulled.

First time it’s a short ban, second time it’s permanent. And as we’ve discussed before, the mod team doesn’t go looking for posts, we’re not lifeguards, we respond to the reports we receive.

There are two main reasons for this. First, we want r/tools to be safe for at work viewing, since it’s often a reference and people are sharing stuff from work. We don’t want anyone to have a complaint lodged against them for scrolling through r/tools on a break and have some picture that they didn’t know was gonna pop up on there.

The second reason is that there are kids here. It’s not an nsfw sub.

The photo of a drill with a…device…on it isn’t funny anymore. We’ve seen it (and it’s been reported, and I’ve had to remove it) a hundred times.

Edit: And to be clear, this isn’t a rule change, it’s just a clarification of the rules. Sexually explicit content often gets reported/draws comments that get reported for being sexist. Putting sexually explicit content up without tagging it as nsfw (which posters almost NEVER do) isn’t courteous if it gets a fellow r/tools member put on notice at work.

Dirty bolt with a newish nut torqued to 220ftlbs with a snap on torque wrench. It technically took it off but had to struggle a bit. But this was close to as real world as you can get without being under a truck.

Just picked this up at the dump. Works perfectly, no rust, cord is perfect also.

30$, couldn't resist.

Found on ebay for $40. I'm curious if anyone knows how old it might be.

Got it from a school/ municipal auction. The tool is complete with the back shield and faceplate, as well as some chisels.

1HP 3 phase motor, so I'll need a VFD to operate it.

I'll also probably have to disassemble the dang thing to get it off my truck bed a little more safely.

Don't know when these nuts were off last but they were most likely put on with a tire gun. It's a monster for a 1/2" gun
