Every Shop General

A Hudson or equivalent compressed air sprayer so you don't pay out the arse for aerosol cans (you can pressurize them with a hand pump if no air compressor) and some poly squirt bottles are useful kit to spray your spooge of choice.

WD-40 is mostly good for cleaning and very good drilling/cutting/tapping lube for aluminum.

Have some useful recipes for cleaners and penetrants:

Add disposable nitrile gloves to that list. They're also good to have in the bedroom.

Isn't that used as a no-rinse soap? Or am I thinking of something else?

A bath of used engine oil is handy for soaking seriously rusted items for long periods of time (weeks). It will free them up without a lot of elbow grease and without damaging them.

>>1186406
I said neoprene. You're right. I meant nitrile.

>>1186408
You must be thinking of something else, unless Fast Orange makes a no-rinse product that I'm unaware of.

Paper towels
Wax paper if you do wood working and use glue (prevents accidentally gluing stuff to your workbench)

>It is a water displacer. Period

IE its an oil that has rust and corrosion inhibitors in it. You "displace" the water by spraying oil on it, and since now its doused in oil and inhibitors it shouldnt rust even though it was wet.
>implying this is a unique use
Every other competing penetrant on the market does the same thing.

>Don't use it for shit else
WD40 says it has over 1000 different uses though!

a vacuum cleaner is nice to have too
alcohol, car window cleaner or any window cleaner you can find cheap, thinners - no idea how they are caleed over here we have 6000, 6005, 6006, technical gasoline and toluene for heavy shit like asphalt (i have them in small botles for small surfaces so i dont need to dick around with big canisters)

How the hell has no one mentioned brake part cleaner yet? I use this stuff for everything, including spraying it on my hands when I'm done working on something dirty. It's like alcohol based so it stays wet for a second then just evaporates without leaving a residue. Notable example - after changing my oil and to get oil off the garage floor, cleaning food grease off a metal BBQ tray and wiping down Stainless steel part of BBQ pit, wipe off my hands after painting / varnishing / staining / dying stuff. Even something as simple as wiping off your tools when you're done. If you need grease, dirt, oil, paint, stain, etc. cleaned up then this is your guy. I always stock 3 or 4 bottles at all times

Protip: Always get the "non-chlorinated" version and DON'T get it on any paint jobs, it'll strip the clear and paint right off.

>>1186907
Tell that to the many machinists who love WD for machining aluminum.

>>1186996
>It's like alcohol based

Read the MSDS. It's mostly acetone and toluene with some methanol.

It is insanely handy though, and the cheap Walmart variety is the best deal by far of the three in your pic. I buy it by the case.

Using it for hand cleaner isn't smart though. Nitrile gloves make that unnecessary.

I finally got myself a decent mask for when I spray paint or lacquer. First time I used it, I still smelled a very faint wif. After the work, I removed my mask and and started gagging as I stumbled out the door. The smell was that bad in the room (yes, I had a vent running, no it wasn't adequate) and barely any got into the mask.

You decide to go with a piano hinge yet, Anon, and have plans for stops on the swinging door? And are you gonna go play Moses and part the Red Sea with all that WD-40? Because the ONLY thing you are allowed to use it for is FUCKING DISPLACING WATER! Nothing else. No using it as cutting oil, stopping squeaky hinges, loosening up a stuck nut, after shave... None of that. Only WATER DISPLACEMENT! It's in the name, after all. Just ask /diy/, they'll tell you.

>>1187592
The piano hinge that was available at Lowe's seemed super flimsy, and I haven't looked much past that the last few days. Thinking I might see if I can find heavier duty hinges that have no holes drilled yet, and then cut/drill to fit(that center pillar behind it limits my options) and then bolt it on, or check online for heavier duty piano hinge. I'll look into it on my days off. By stops you mean to keep shit from falling out? I'll get around to it before I fill it. WD-40 is solely for cutting aluminum, because I've heard that it works better than normal cutting oil(so far so good).

All sorts of greases.
Lithium based greases (with graphite or molybdenium additives)

Funny thing. Guess who sells house brand Deoxit? Radio Shack. Made by Caig and everything. So, instead of paying $15 a can you can pay $9. Some google-fu will tell you which Radio Shack part numbers line up with which Deoxit products. That is if there is still a Radio Shack in your area. Most of the corporate stores have closed but there are still plenty of independently owned stores around.

>>1188223
You can do that with 3 in 1 oil

>>1188240

Speaking of lung disease:
A vent hood, so you can smoke indoors without it having to interrupt your work. Also you can dry epoxy shit without it reeking.

Also, I enjoy whomever said "wax paper". Wax paper is the shit. Whether you're making bullshit plastic containers easier to clean after you've taken the food out, or keeping solder blobs off the carpet, wax paper is there for you.

I heard carb cleaner has oils in it to help not totally dry carburetors.
> i prefer it too, though
Also agree pb blaster is fantastic

Ammonia & dawn for degreasing small parts (mix with water and don't inhale)
Rubber erasers for polishing off small amounts of water stains/smears/fingerprints
Paper towel storage you keep separate from your kitchen/household paper towel storage so when you spill something and there's only a bit left on the roll you're not smearing grease all over in your haste.
A shop vac.
At least 2 sharpies in case one stops working mid-work and you need to erase the marks you made (rub sharpie on sharpie marks and quickly wipe to erase if you didn't know)

Luxury: An oven, range, or at least a small electric hot plate. Oven allows for drying things that will fit in it (lowest setting) and for things like killing woodworm. Stovetop lets you heat water for chemistry bullshit (degreasing works better with very hot water, as an example.) Keeping kitchen and shop separate is generally a good idea for safety and health but it's not always an option due to price and space.

>I heard carb cleaner has oils in it to help not totally dry carburetors.

You can read the MSDS for any cleaner you like to see what's in it. I've been cleaning carbs since the 1970s and I prefer the cheapest toluene/toluol spray cleaner available so I buy it by the case at Walmart. It's harmless to soft parts.

If you need to soak carbs I recommend Pine-Sol (not generic pine oil). It doesn't bother soft parts or plastic. I've used the commercial dips including the old, strong methylene chloride Hydro-Seal (which destroys seals) and after trying Pine-Sol I don't miss it. I soak overnight and agitate heavy soils with a parts brush. It also works fine in ultrasonic cleaners.

Solvina - no idea if you can get somthing similiar in the world
its cleaning paste mostly used for hands or skin it cleans almost anything - clened asplhalt/oil paint from hands with no problems
the paste or soapy mix with saw dust(mostly from wood, the acient ones used glasmaking sand)
and
Indulona - a hand(or skin) cream also can be used for anything there was one time a cleaning one, poeple used it do clean/revive leather, cleaning boots, lubrigating machines etc.

Ended up just putting a bunch more shitty hinged on it. Should be fine. With all the hinges, it's probably going to be around the rated weight.

It won't penetrate into the threads. BTW when you finally remove the fasteners and the threads with them then end up installing thread repair inserts, hit your new bolts with anti-seize. Dry threads (unless manufacturer specified for some reason) are evil. Anti-seize and Loctite have opposite goals but neither promote seizure because they are barriers.

I feel like this is only for after working in your shop. It's too easy to make mistakes after a few drinks. At best you ruin a project, at worst you get hurt.

I use Fast Orange, Gojo, and Lava at work, all are pretty mediocre unless you spend 5 minutes scrubbing each time.

The best I've used is pic related. It's the best scrub for poison oak/sumac rashes too.

Only drawback is that you absolutely have to use lotion on your hands at the end of the day if you want to avoid saltine-cracker skin.

Yeah, didn't think so... was hoping for a miracle. I've had a situation where an intake manifold gasket turned into removing the head because a bolt broke. Only the bolt head broke, and the whole hole was full of corrosion. Also, Chrysler likes to use dozens of little 6mmx1.25 steel bolts to hold plastic parts on. And the plastic parts have brasd sleeves the bolts go through. Like the engineers worked out how to maximize corrosion.

I use to work for a Paper Converting company that made those. Every time we ran an order of them made it a priority to nick a few rolls for my own shop. Or a 55 gallon trash bag full of the paper scraps. Worked very well too.

>>1186369
I need a bunch of these. where can I pick some up if I don't own a cat or buy solid detergent?

>>1186184
Good penetrative fluid. No you can't buy it. Its 50% acetone and 50% ATF fluid, dexron III works best.
Beats anything on the market even kano kroil.

Has anyone said tools yet? I feel like I haven't seen that post yet.

>>1204259
what tools?

>>1204544
Just tools, man. No one mentioned it, but every shop should have them.

>>1204259
>>1204546
Maybe the others bothered to read what OP wrote.

>>1204552
Like I give a fuck what some faggot has to say. Who the fuck reads the OP?

>>1204555
then make a tool thread, the last one got btfo like 2 weeks ago

>>1204599
But then I'd be OP, and I'm not sure if I'm ready to suck a cock.

Apparently this stuff is amazing. Great for laundry too.

>>1186372
Wish my dad would realize this, he uses it for everything and it just ends up breaking the materiel down a few months later.

How do I make him stop ruining everything with wd40? He's a hoarder and has several cans of the stuff laying around and doesn't listen to reason.

>>1207841
dads don't listen to reason, just throw that shit out until he gets the idea

>>1207841
Get him a couple of the right stuff.

>>1207898
He's got a bit of everything in the garage but still reaches for the WD40 every time.

Old habits die hard, especially when you still think its the 1960's.

>>1187554
Takes me back. My dad had a Hamm's Bear sign over his workbench. This was the 60's.

Moved into this old house n everything was pretty cleaned out.
Out in the garage there was this long shelf with old coffee & peanut butter & small jars screwed into the bottom of it.
These jars had everything in them. Nuts bolts hooks cotter pins. You just walk in n look up n can look in the bottom to see what's in it & unscrew it if you need it. Every 1 who sees it says their grandfather had the same thing.

After 10 years, I'm still using them... I hardly ever go to the hardware store. My garage is stocked. Every1 should have 1. & keep it organized & pass it on.
I thank the old man who lived here every time I find something I need.

I sure hope you're here ironically, and don't actually use tools.

Not near anything hot (they will melt and burn your hands)

>>1208738
Joke's on you, I'm not that Anon, and I use mostly hand tools so I don't have a problem with a drink while I'm puttering in the shop. Good job on the quitting though, seriously. Shit's worse than nicotine for killing you while it doesn't let you off the hook.

I like to keep my sprays in milk cartons. I have three of them full. Also don't forget plastic ketchup and mustard dispensers so you can buy the bulk wood glue.
