My Tool Collection & DIY Adventures With Them

Battery was already 4 years old.Bike was not cranking.Went ahead and changed the battery with 4 years pro-rata warranty.

Put up inline fuel filter for filtering metallic particles and dust from the tank.

This is my tool box.Some of these tools I used to get the job done.

This very same battery lasted Precisely ( And I mean by the day!) 5 years on my activa. As if It was designed to do so!

They are not same as both have different specs.
Active is 2.5 amp.This one is bigger ie 5 amp,and taller too.
I know because I have installed both myself.Of Course the brand and look appears same.

Mine is good old Lokhandi (Metal body) Activa. Heavy . Tough.
Yes It has the old Tall 5A Battery (i've changed myself). it even runs a car bulb if need be.

Made a practical use today.
Making baby food on this stove is very easy in any parking. I did not even use half of the cube. Just some crumbs (powder) which were broken from cube. The cubes are very hard to break. The small crumb (15~20% of entire cube) burned for good 5 mins, enough to cook baby food.

These are my screwdrivers.This is not complete.All these constitute set no 1 and I have separated them as they are bigger in size.
There is another smaller set no.2
brands I have are STANLEY, TAPARIA,SEMATO,FOCUS,and MULTITECH. All are good,but multitech is magnetic and hexagonal too.

This is the latest addition to my tools collection.
This is a TAPARIA 31 bit set with a screwdriver adapter for the bits.Its small and handy with good quality bits.Lets see if they do not catch rust in the next monsoon.Only then will I call them really good quality ones.
Most of the common size and shaped bits are covered in this set.As I have already said they are 31 in no.The bit set gets separated from the screwdriver adapter on pulling apart.

Made my own DIY Battery Jump Clamps.
The Quality is ultimately much better than Amazon cables which just have thick insulation and not much of a copper wire.
Staggered cut to prevent shorting.
Will post a guide if needed.

This is my HEAVY DUTY jump cable set.I have purchased this from the market,as I was finding it to be the easier route.
It is of good quality.Wires are very thick copper with good insulation.
Length of the wire is 8.5 feet.
Capacity is 800Amp.

Very neat DIY with demonstration . You have used a very good copper wire.How much is the length of this?
You are correct about the online quality of wires.They end up costlier too.
Your SAFARI bonnet is gleaming!! esp. next to XUV.

This is my bench vise.It was passed on to me from my great grandfathers side.
It was all rusted and black.I somehow procured the parts/spares and renovated it .
Now its totally in usable condition.Its wt is 7 kg. Its jaw size max is 5 inches,which is more than enough for my DIY projects.
