I've added a new version of the "Unicorn" special tools that could be easier to print on some machines. I've also added an easier to print Power Tools sign. These are the -1 files. I intend to work on this more over the holidays and add some things further. Let me know if you see something that I should create.
Tips me at Venmo, but you'll have to send me a note for the details.
original upload
I have a four year old with her own dirtbike, since she rides, she wrenches. I found that it was a challenge to get her to recall where the tools where, she would recall the name and what it was, but not where it was on the box. Additionally, I have an 18 month old son who loves to be out in the garage helping as well.
So, I figured that if I made some cartoon shaped tools with the name of the tool on them, then maybe both kids could learn:
Where the tools are located in the box (helps the wife too)
What the tools look like (associate name with shape)
Currently I have uploaded (I'm working on more every week) the following tools:
Wrench Metric
Wrench Imperial
Pliers
Screwdriver
File
Hammer
Ratchet & Socket
Electrical
Calipers / Precision tools
Specialty Tools (that's the unicorn, things like brake blead kit)
Power Tools
I plan to add micrometers in the near future and maybe a multi-meter. If you have a request please let me know and I will work on it.
Once the parts are printed (most print in an hour or so with 4 walls & 10% infill), glue some magnetic tape to the backside and pop these on your toolbox. Then just enjoy watching someone learn and grow!
Oh! I almost forgot, shot me over a coffee or beer (I prefer beer) so that I've got something to drink in the garage.
