Looks like a bearing/seal driver. Or whatever else you can find to use it to install.

Good score Scotty! That stuff will all come in real handy when you need it. Speaking of 19.2 cordless power tools..... I spotted a few weeks back that Craftsman had a 19.2 power tool operated RC truck and thought it was the neatest thing! Guess what Jen got me today . I bought a Craftsman 19.2 drill/light combo almost 3 years ago when they first came out with the new C3 19.2 stuff which for the money I dont think can be beat. I have used a lot of cordless tools over the years and had a 12v Dewalt cordless drill that seemed like the king of cordless drills for a long long time but the batteries went south and it seems that everyone wants $60ish for ONE new battery! It was an expensive drill when new, they still are, but Its hard to stomach that kind of money for a new battery and an old drill though its still in excellent shape so I bought the Craftsman 19.2 one and couldnt be happier with it. They make tons of different tools that work on the 19.2 battery and when I saw an RC truck that used the same power tool battery I was in shock and thought it would be sweet to have one of those too hehe. Me and Abby just got done playing with it and its pretty fun. I used to be really big into RC car racing a number of years ago and boy was that an expensive hobby! Its amazing what is out there now and something like this was just the fix I needed since I havent raced in a long time.

Awesome Dave. I got to use my 19.2 drill yesterday to put up some mounts so I could hand my hood off the wall in the garage and get up out of the way. Well I actually just drilled two holes to run some cable through to tie it up.

Ive been trying to go and get craftsman stuff when I can, looking out for the sales and such. But as I mentioned, there are some things that I can get at other places that would work just as well and for less cost. I dont think a bearing/race installer and remover is going to work any better with a craftsman name on it.

Its funny though, as weird as it may seem, I think of you and the quality work you do and the help you provide and when I am shopping for tools Ive got in the back of my head to make sure I get the right stuff so I can do at least as good of work as you do. I dont have anyone around here to really look up to as far as examples and quality go, and Im self-taught on much of what I have learned (well in that I have read a great deal, talked with tons of people and picked information here and there where I could find people willing to share. So for what its worth you are kind of the standard I shoot for. I try not to step on toes but I like to replicate the work others are doing and the things they are doing often just for my own knowledge of the process and work. I like being able to help out here and answer questions and that requires I get my hands dirty, have the proper tools and do the work.

Glad to hear you and Abby are having so much fun, and cudos to Jennifer for getting you such cool gift. You're going to Abby out there building cars that smoke you before long.
