Got over to Lowe's about 11:30 and grabbed the last 6 of their little "Kobalt" miniature tool boxes. The lid is magnetic.
Since I was in the neighborhood, hit the Russian deli and got some goodies.
I have one of these boxes and use it as part of my service cart setup. I use the shallow top space for inspection mirrors and a magnetic pickup tool. I do agree I wish that part was a bit deeper!
Let us know how you like the compressor! Also, size and horse?I just got done working 14 days straight/ 16 hour shifts, so I decided to treat myself. Got in late last night just in time to be home for Thanksgiving.
Turkey Day Tool Haul, Gobble- Gobble!
Happy BDay!Happy Birthday to myself, lol
Woot had a great deal on it. Now I just need to compliment it with the 3/8s DCF923
This has a great feel/weight/balance in the hand. Haven’t used it yet. Pretty excited to.
Okay@Rkcubed - please post that in the "show us your fencing tools/windmill tools thread in the vintage forum!
@mikeinri - I saw those in a post here a couple days ago and thought they might make great gifts. I got there a little after 11:30, walked in the door, caught up with two employees, told them "I'm looking for a small, blue, Kobalt tool box," and they said "Oh, I think we sold out," then led me over to a young man who was moving boxes around and they asked him and he said "These are the only ones left," so I grabbed them.
Girl at the register told me she'd give me some super-duper discount, but it turned out you only got the discount if you filled out a credit application for a credit card - instant deal killer.
Their "Black Friday" deal was $13 bucks a pop.... not bad.
I think the flat shallow space in the top is rather screwy, though... what do I put in there? Pencils?
Depending on how old you are will be my level of sympathy, I don't deserve much, lol.

Bought two packs of these magbars for $8 each plus tax at Lidl. So when I bolt these together, I have 3 socket rails, with pretty strong magnets for $16. I've found that these are a space saver in the top of my cart, and there's no pegs to fuss with or break of any kind. I don't see cheap magbars sold locally, DC market, that are in the "medium and small" size. I'm tempted to get some more.
Not that odd, their impact sockets and some of their shop equipment is what made Sunex a widely known brand. However, their other hand tools need to judged on a case by case basis because the fit, finish, and feel isn't always good.
My Pittsburgh pro 1/2" universal 17mm impact retension spring gave up the ghost recently, after living way long past it's expected life in an auto shop environment, at least 13 years. So I got this GW x-core in a pinch, the labeling is off. And it's a little chunkier in all respects than it's predecessor. I like having as much accessibility with these tools, I need something else, but, I have to have one of these by Monday. And a lifetime warranty that I can deal with locally through 2 distributors I know, rather than the abyss.
I tried this experiment with the magnet rails before but I found that everything in the drawer stuck to them and I abandoned the idea. Hope you have better results than I did.

I have some of their sockets, they're really nice, no issues.
That one amp unit does a good job of bringing car batteries back from the dead also. I had a 7 year old battery in my truck that sat over the winter for three months in my front yard that was pronounced dead by my battery tester. 3 days on that NOCO brought it back! There's also several reviews on Amazon that say the same thing.I have a 10A NOCO charger/maintainer that I love, but I grabbed this 1A to complement it during Black Friday. Mostly for the lawnmower battery during the winter.
The Koken fairy came again today...
Yeah - I have a Sunex set, but noticed the 22mm sleeve is already cracked (wife's Ody) and the set seems very reasonable, especially since the offset this design offers will work better for several of the family cars.
