Snap-on 3/8" Speed-wrench -- Before & After Cleaning

Backyard Trellis Demolition work and tree trimming

Cut the two large beams into about 2.5 ft long pieces & piled them in the lower left side of the picture.  The Olive tree is hanging very low and is covering one of the metal posts and is blocking the rear sliding door.

The upper part of this picture is the olive tree that needs to be trimmed.  I ended up filling the entire Green bin with the cuttings...

To temporarily cap off the metal post, I installed some drain line clear out plugs over the posts.  The tops of the posts are fitted with threaded pieces so the drain caps threaded into them.  Will keep the bugs & critters out for now.

After the Olive tree trimming.

The ficus tree and the jasmine need trimming too...

Shimano PD-7401 (grey) & PD-6401 (white) -- After Cleaning

These were pretty rough.  After cleaning, they're presentable but still pretty scuffed.  Could do a lot more work (filing, sanding & painting) to make them look really good but I don't think these will ever go on a bike so not worth the effort at this point).  These are pretty heavy and modern ones are probably 2/3 to 1/2 the weight...

This white pair are actually in not too bad a condition.  They show the scuffs and dirt more but with a little bit of light sanding and a little bit of touch-up paint, they would probably look pretty good.  As with the grey ones, not worth any work at this point because of their weight...

Proto Tools Socket Holder -- Before & After Cleaning

Looks like this socket holder was part of a set of tools for a specific box?  (box no. 5493)

The swing away handle is a little bit bent along it's length.

The larger end of the socket holder is pretty bent.

The handle is a little bent on this end, as well as the end of the box wall that's closest to the end.

After some light cleaning (didn't want to take off too much more of the red paint).

Used some steel wool to clean the Proto Tools plate.

Using a small hammer, straightened out the bent ends of the box and the handle.  Turned out pretty good.

Had a few 3/8" sockets handy.  They're not Proto but will do for now.  They fill up about 1/2 the length of this pretty long socket holder.
