I was across the pond outside London last week visiting a vendor for work. As he was showing us how to do some things he pulled out a set of T-handle hex wrenches and then used part of the handle to get torque on the fastener and then swapped to the end and spun the bolt out. Silly me, I had never seen these before and was quite impressed. So of course being a tool nut I ask him where he got them. His answer, Sears and Roebuck the last time he had been in the states. After getting over the sting from the slap on my head a few days later I looked up and sure enough, Sears carries Astro-pneumatic and they make a set of T handle Hex wrenches like this. Not exactly like his, but the same concept. Here is a down and dirty pic of his.
After I got back stateside and my body did not know what time it was anyway, I was up catching up on some shows and as I was fast forwarding through "This old House and Ask This Old House" (use to watch these all the way through and enjoy them, have I changed? Nope dont think so) ANYWAY, they showed a thing on how to cut pipe for plumbing which I was barely paying attention to when I noticed they had a small autofeed copper cutter which I thought was interesting. Then they mounted it in a close quarters Rachet handle and BOOM, I was hooked. Here is the photo off the website.
Both items have already been added to "the list"
