On this week’s episode of Grease the Wheels, Uncle Jimmy hits one of our collective nerves: tools. From the tools that we use every single day and would be lost without, to the tools that get relegated to the back of the bottom drawer once a particular recall is done - we can’t get the job done without them. We also talk about the level of mechanical genius often found in some of the ways that we modify tools to do certain jobs better, or look at a tool designed to do one thing and having it do something completely different that requires some of the same physical properties. We also take a look at tool trucks, how they target the new guys, and what tools DIY’ers should have which should actually be as simple and non-destructive as possible. No DIY’er needs a 3 ft breaker bar, but if they do they should definitely have a tap and die set ready to go.  Also Uncle Jimmy pitches a worklight torture test, with a pitching component.  This episode is distributed by The Wrenching Network.
