Unlock the Dream Tool Vault: Discover Your Ultimate Wish List Essentials – 1st Edition

Every machinist has a secret wish list, a Dream Tool Vault, filled with those coveted items that seem just out of reach. These are the tools you fantasize about – envisioning the incredible projects you could complete if only they were on your workbench. They're the high-end calipers, the ultra-precise CNC machines, the versatile multi-tools, and the specialized bits that you can't quite justify because of the budget constraints or the lack of frequent use. Yet, we all know the satisfaction of finally giving in to one of these 'pie-in-the-sky' purchases and discovering just how indispensable it becomes. It's a feeling of regret for not having bought it sooner and a newfound appreciation for the projects it enables.

 That’s the magic of the Dream Tool Vault. It’s not just about the tools; it’s about the dreams they unlock. So, we asked our clients in our showrooms to share the top items on their Dream Tool Vault wish lists. Here’s what they revealed:

Jeff's Dream Tools

Jeff, a mechanical designer at CPI, shared some practical yet essential tools on his wish list:

  • Lightweight Hammers (4 oz.) for ease of use and making gentle modifications. Check them out here.
  • Magnetic Level, because they're convenient and often misplaced on-site. See the details here.
  • Triangular Block Set for setups, like the KBC Angle and Bar Gage Block Set. This set includes 90°, 60°, and 30° angles for precise adjustments. Explore it here.

Jeff described these tools as small but incredibly handy investments for his projects.

Devon's Must-Have Magnetic Drill

Devon, a fabricator from Pin Anchor Traders, says he has most of what he needs but secretly dreams of owning a Magnetic Drill.

He envisions using it to make holes in beams on-site, a task where portability and power are essential. Devon’s eye is on the Evolution Magnetic Drill, a compact, powerful, and easy-to-use tool with impressive specs:
  • Angular cutting capacity of up to 1-1/8".
  • Cutting depth of up to 2".
  • Magnetic adhesion of 2860 lbs./ft.
    Learn more about it here.

After discussing it with Devon, he admitted it might be time to stop dreaming and start drilling!

Dave’s Ultimate Shop Enhancements

Dave, a metal enthusiast with a growing shop in his (former) three-car garage, shared his wishlist for taking his space to the next level:

  • Hand-held pneumatic Gun Vac® From Guardair, which attaches to his air compressor to clean up metal chips and shavings effortlessly. Discover the vacuum here.
  • Quick Change Tool Post Set to make his lathe more efficient, moving from one cutting setup to another in seconds. Check it out here.
  • Automatic Center Punch, which allows for quick and accurate hole marking with a push of a button. View options here.

Dave’s excitement for these tools suggests they won’t stay on his wish list for long.
