I’m not a mechanic so I’m not sure what tool to search for so I’ll ask here. I’m trying to find a ratchet or something to remove driveshaft strap bolt nuts that face the pinion. I have to use the open end of a wrench and that sucks. Trying to chase down a problem that might have me remove the driveshaft over and over and future maintenance.
My ratcheting wrench’s are too wide to fit all the way down on the nut. Wide around the ratcheting part not wide as in needing a skinny wrench.
Hopefully this question is clearer than mud.
Took an old ratcheting wrench to the grinder to make it easier to remove the u joint straps on the diff ends of the driveshafts. New old tool, or old new tool?

I like this idea. Just go to harbor freight and buy the right size. It isn’t like it needs a lot torque
Picked up a set of spring compressors today. And yep Harbor freight
May not need them, but I would rather have them.

I used my HF spring compressors for the first time about two weeks ago. Hell, they've only been sitting in my toolbox for four years. But hey, when you need 'em, you need 'em! I was surprised to find that they had a simple little retaining mechanism that is designed to keep the clamps from slipping and potentially flying off. Super simple design, and it seems like a viable solution to a potentially scary situation.
*(I worked at a brake and suspension shop in my youth, and my boss was installing big-block coils into a small-block '67 Camaro. Spring compressor slipped, and the coil went flying past my head, mere inches away. Scared the s#*t out of both of us!)

I have those same ones and they have worked well the couple times I used them.
Are you left handed? If not, that thing will bring the suck!
New use of an old tool, made a mount for my portaband that slides into my welding table. Hindsight being what it is, now I get to modify the mount so it’s level with the rest of the table for cutting longer pieces, will be easy to do though. This setup is now one of my most used fab tools. Should have made one years ago.
I am actually! But I bat, golf and cut right handed
I had a right side blade saw that came with a combo kit. First cut I gave it away and went back to my left side saw. Couldn’t see shit!
Years ago I worked at a carpentry shop , and bought a magnesium worm drive Skilsaw to replace my Aluminum version . It was 2 lbs. lighter but it felt like it weighed nothing at the end of a long day. I learned how valuable it is to have good tools ! Trimming rafter tails sucks , anything you can do to make it better is worth it !
Swing through the Home Depot parking lot with cash in hand is the easiest way to get work done

Home Depot is only an option If you have cash from working in the carpentry shop .
