Homemade “wonder pup”

No worries. One way to decide that you have a full complement of tools is to overlook the application of one to the job at hand. Note that I said "full complement" and not "too many". The latter is an impossibility.

Anyhow, glad it works for you.

Nor ''too many full compliments''. Marv certainly earns them. Reminds me, his avatar a rather creative individual as well, worked in a Swiss (?) patent office early in his working life. The existence of impossibility is certainly achievable though; but no one's ever done it.
FLASHBACK: 1990's In Tim Allen's standup routine he'd say "I've got tools...I've got tools to MAKE tools. Yep, makes it possible, just never happens.

Thanks Morsa for showing us your "Pup" dog build and all the iterations of driving it. Great Stuff. Thanks again!

Marv, you never cease to amaze me...just to know these things existed in the first place and all the opportunities to drive them just validates my earlier points of the great value you bring to everyone here. Many Thanks!

I did think the universal joints could cause some sticking issues at steeper angles but thought of my old Snap-On ball swivel sockets but now HFT has them at 1/4 the price...But the flex drive is even better...if only I remembered I had one...LOL

MKOLTZ, How come you got all those trophies and I only got a few???....:O)

I suppose that being both a model engineer and a certified tool aficionado means I bring a sort of quirky combination of unusual information to the forum. That plus having been at this for 75 years and having a father who lived through the depression and the war and had to make what he needed; he passed a lot of his knowledge and DIY enthusiasm on to me.

Flexible drivers are also very handy with miniature equipment. This set...

https://www.amazon.com/Sourcingbay-S...engfa+tool+kit

which I own, contains one as well as the hard-to-find miniature hex sockets in sizes M2.5,M3.0,M3.5,M4.0,M4.5,M5.0,M5.5, There's even triangular screwdriver bits (haven't found a use for them yet) and some bits that look a bit like hex bits but have only t five sides (probably some alien spacecraft standard). Miniature pozidrive bits are hard to find and, if memory serves, it has those too. Regardless, highly recommended if you are forced to deal with the small side of the universe.

Busted me up with the Alien Spacecraft Standard! I was in Lowes one day and picked up this set...now on (of all places) Amazon. Even with the bad reviews, I like it and never given me any problems. Like the flex in your set though for another 10duckets. Somewhere I think I have a 1/4" flex driver... HFT has a Security Bit set <$10 that has a bunch of the odd ball bits in it...only used one of the odd balls I think somewhere in my travels and definitely not to reverse engineer alien technology.

This set is my Golden Go To for small stuff...present from my Mrs. Each of the blades is laser etched with paint for easy choosing. They fit like Snap-On and hard as rocks with a great feel to the handle.

Great thread, with a little co-operation outcoming is an excellent product.

Im amazed how fast Morsa creates these new tools. I haven't even finished reading when he makes a new one.
Wow!

Thanks, Tuomas.

The trick is that besides presenting current (scarce) work, I’ve been presenting old works. These clamps were made in march-2014 (photos keep track of the exact date).

In the past, I was a member of a forum in Spanish (foromimecanicapopular.net) that no longer works. Reviewing the list of work presented there and the album of photographs, I’ve made an Excel file with the homemade tools-related topics; there are about 50 still pending issues, that I am threatening to share here.

Go ahead.
We dare you!
