Bought this wrench a while back as an alternative to a whole set of thin wrenches. Little fella actually works pretty good and I have found it helpful several times. Most recently was removing a stubborn check valve on a Bosch fuel pump while replacing a pump for a racer friend while at the track.

Picked up a HF blasting cabinet with a 30% off coupon. After a couple mods (metering valve, lights, water trap) she's ripping through paint and rust. I'm using it mostly for restoring the various bits of tin work on my '66 Fiat 500's spare engine while I plan out the motor build - 35 horsepower here I come!

I also had one of these! Had planned on similar mods as you but never finished installing. Did mount on casters so I could move around shop as needed. Never enough floor space, no matter how big. I’m not that tall but casters also raised it just enough to make using it easier on my back.

I didn't know these existed. Asset of sockets to fit taps for when you can fit the T handle in there. I haven't tried them yet, but I'm glad I did a search for such.

Those look awesome. Been many times I've needed to rethread a hole some ham-fisted ape (i.e. me) boogered up and these would have come in handy.

This is not a new tool, it's been in my tool box for a long time. But I don't recall what it is...anyone know?

The other side is a screwdriver handle.

Looking at options to improve my metal skills/output and found this. Looks pretty interesting but also a bit more $$ than I was expected. Whats your goto solution to bend small metal bits? There are a few versions of the duo-mite, looks so simple.
