Is your toolbox as tidy as this?

Post by amulheirn »

This is the toolkit they use on the International Space Station. Certainly more organised than mine:

Are they metric or AF ?
Cheers, Clive.

The text says both. There is colour coding is for size of drive. 1/4" or 3/8" and the sockets, light blue and light green are inch sizes, dark blue and dark green are metric, and the adapters are gray.
Can't see any sign of suitable methods to attach said tools to the operator to stop them drifting away. There's enough debris in space without adding a few tools to smash into other satelites.

Proper nerds tool box that, mine are organised but not that Flippin clean. How do you keep those soft touch grips so clean. I bought a brand new Bacho socket set and the socket wrench grip was black after the first use. :twisted:

Stewbie,
They don’t have oily bits in a space craft. Satellites and space craft are built in a clean room so its more hygienic than an F1 assembly area.
