Draco-REX Posted October 16, 2013 Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 Every now and then you see something that just strikes you as a perfect example of genius. We just got these in at work: http://www.cal-vantools.com/p-5-90-degree-gearless-angle-drive38.aspx It uses multiple bent rods to create a 90 degree transmission. No gears. I can't stop playing with this thing.. It has got to be one of the coolest ideas I've seen in a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turbospec29 Posted October 16, 2013 Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 How much? I want one now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not Brian Posted October 16, 2013 Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 Neat idea but I can't think of any time I would need something like that. It's in the same shape as just a ratchet with a short extension.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg1647545532 Posted October 16, 2013 Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 Neat idea but I can't think of any time I would need something like that. It's in the same shape as just a ratchet with a short extension.. Except you don't always have room to spin the ratchet. I can't think of any time I would need one either, but for a mechanic it's one of those things that can be the difference between 10 minutes of cursing and 30 seconds of rummaging around for that one tool that will solve the problem.

Draco-REX Posted October 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 How much? I want one now. 11.99 for either the 1/4" or 3/8" drive. I know my store has them, not sure about others. Part#s are 482 for the 1/4" and 483 for the 3/8". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's in the same shape as just a ratchet with a short extension.. attach to ratchet, now you have a u-shape for insanely hard to reach places Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cordell Posted October 16, 2013 Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 I'll be in to get some at that price. You may be able to do most everything without that tool, but the one time that would come in handy it makes me money. These kind of things in my toolbox can be really nice to have.

This, for 12 bucks its a bet that has a lot of upside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky31186 Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 I can name at least 5 times when I could use that... Shit on these airport trucks are always tucked away in the smallest area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickey4271647545519 Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 This is one of neat tools I've discovered in the past year that's come in rather handy. http://image.truckinweb.com/f/newproducts/1310_tite_reach_extension_wrench/49290203+w640/tite-reach-extension-wrench-1.jpg http://www.tite-reach.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great tool for pulling valve covers off a Subaru. Mine have a flex head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had to borrow from the neighbor though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
