Lots of cool photos over at the HAMB, here's a couple from a thread about the history of Los Angeles

That is one great photo.


Very cool socket wrench holder! That's clever!

Craig Breedlove built the Spirit of America in his garage!

This is how many oil derricks there were all over Los Angeles, above in Brea, below in Huntington Beach, 1958

The first the time I have seen a delivery truck in use to deliver when new


Drive by banking?

The DeWalt truck at SEMA... wow.




A customized 2011 Ford Super Duty pickup truck, the only newly designed Super Duty on display at the show.

What was in a Model A tool kit?






I think that box, in all it's wear and tear, is bitchin. How many could have possibly survived the nearly eighty years since it was printed?







A fan belt, a distributor cap, a crank handle... that doubles as a lug nut wrench, a couple wrenches, a pair of pliers and a crescent wrench that have been replaced or weren't original to the tool kit, a three way socket wrench... very innovative and cool.. a hammer and a jack with handle. Plus two cool little things, a lock for the spare tire, and a screw on wheel puller to break the rim loose from the axle.

Tool boxes among the trailers in the paddock at Speedfest

When shopping for or making your next tool box, here are a variety that the pros use. Seeing that touring race car teams use them, I bet they are set up for the most efficient way to get things done.
Wow. Impressive










2nd coolest, portable, secure, and has a vise




Most unusual and innovative
