What’s one tool you own but never use? We are asking e14 in our Join, Share & Win Competition

E14Alice

Hello Everyone! 

Firstly, I would love to wish you all a Happy New Year! 

We’re back with another AskE14 question, and this one’s all about your tool stash! We all have that one tool tucked away in a drawer, gathering dust because we never seem to use it, or maybe you bought it for a project that never happened, or it just wasn’t as useful as you thought.

Here's the question: 

What’s one tool you own but never use, and why?

Is it something you regret buying? Something that looked cooler than it turned out to be? Or maybe something you think you should use more often, but never do?

  • Back in the 1970s I built high performance test interfaces using 50 ohm copper semi rigid cables.  I used this tubing bender to shape thousands of cables, but I haven't used it in the current millennium.  It is still in my toolbox of small hand tools.  I think I still have some semi rigid pipe stashed somewhere - maybe I'll get inspired to build some RF interfaces.  The tool has two sides, one for 0.141 and one for 0.086 pipe.

    Valuable tool to keep the center conductor equal distance for the outer conductor maintaining impedance of the cable.

    With the copper semi rigid it's really hard to maintain the minimum bend radius without a tool like this.  Although we always used X-ACTO knives to cut the copper shield...
