Off the HFT returns table, both 10 amps.
www.harborfreight.com
www.harborfreight.com
Both work fine. I saved $100 off the regular sale price. I have a membership, and that got me a 40% discount off the returns sale price.
Here they are, the internet hid my pics for awhile, but this is a pic of the actual pieces. The bandsaw came w/a big plastic case, including the spare brushes and the owner's manual. The 7" sander came off the table all by itself, nothing w/it. All by its lonesome self.
I also got a used tool. Not HFT! wood/metal Delta bandsaw

I see you have or use mechanical lead pencils. Do you also have a cast iron Boston lead pointer?
Kobalt 28 pc wrench set. I'm not a huge fan of Kobalt tools but it was in the hot deals thread for $9.98. I figured why not ?
An extra blade for the 4x6 bandsaw. Menards has them in stock.
Purely curious.

No, been watching a couple of guys in YT with mechanical silver pencils. I bought a couple of "regular" wood silver pencils. The silver lead kept breaking after sharpening.
I got on Amazon and found a two pack with plenty of black and silver lead. Only used the silver one day and like it so far.

My newest tool addition to my Fluke collection! A near mint Fluke 867B graphical multimeter!
It's in GREAT condition despite being a 'vintage' Fluke, 1997~1998 era.
I have a new Fluke TLK-225 lead set and a Fluke IR-USB comms cable on the way for it and will likely be adding a 30' retractable lead set to it, hence the very large case.
It is a beast of a GMM, measuring in at 9.7" tall, 5.4" wide and 2.7" deep. It ***** through batteries with a 6 hour run time with 6x "AA" batteries, but given that the power supplies/chargers aren't readily available and that I won't use it all the time, I am fine with storing an extra set of batteries in the case with it.

Thanks for sharing, a few questions: what are they, what are they called, what are they used for, and what do they cost?

Swung by Lowe's to browse any sales.
Found this for $15 down from $24. Didn't need it, but I'll definitely use it.

They are stainless steel dental crown pliers in three different orientations. They all have replaceable silicon tips.
I'm not at all a dentist, but saw them as useful in mimicking fingers much better than metal or even hard plastic 'soft' pliers.
In working on 80's cars everything plastic likes to break, especially electrical connectors, so that's where they will be used.
The left and right are just no name COO Pakistan versions from ebay for about $15, and the middle one is a Nordent 2709 which is $260 MSRP, but I got them for $55 off ebay from someone that had a new pair.
There are various german, swiss, USA, etc made dental brands in the hundreds of dollars, but you can sometimes get a steal second hand.

^ Pakistan makes a good portion of the surgical and dental pliers currently in use. Amazing stuff. These orthodontic pliers were made in Germany. You really have to scour ebay listings to find them cheap, but they're out there. These were $8 bucks, with shipping, as I recall.

Bought these in response to all the lunacy in the SK “Brand of USA” thread.
I must have 15 pair of stamped strippers, this is my first forged pair.
Really enjoying them so far after 2 projects.
Paid a serious premium for the green over standard Duratech blue.

What was the BOGO deal, and is it still going on?
Got my BOGO from Astro…….thanks. Always find it interesting when companies include sizes that have no use. I/My company makes large aerospace machines, for some reason the engineers always call out SHCS. Every size from 4mm to generally around 20mm sometimes larger. So i almost only use hex sockets. With that said, this set includes 7,9,16, and 18mm. Obviously every company does it but with SHCS it seems odd.
Have any of you used these sizes?

Next on the get list.
Didn't buy these all at the same time but they are recentish purchases. I haven't bought anything off a Snap-on truck in over 20 yrs!
Took him months to finally get me the necklight. Last time I asked he gave me a pair of socks for free. Thought nothing of them but I've been wearing them at home on cold nights & I actually really like them. Who wudda thunk? Lol
Anyone know how much these sell for? I kinda want another pair.
Not a tool but it is related. My new t-shirt.

Buying several pair at once, I could pay $5.50/pair for the snap on socks. I've since moved on to Samsox, USA made, available on Amazon. They're about $15/pair though.
Snap on socks when new are great, but they seem to lose thread volume too easily and lose the inherent "plumpness" of the material.

Another inexpensive multimeter for use around the house, not that I needed another one. Internal lithium battery, usb-c charging, cool display, monitoring modes, non-contact voltage detector, no mode knob, etc. Just thought it was kind cool & something different. Fnirsi DMT-99.
And a new Brother label printer as an upgrade to my 15+ yr old one (which still works fine).
Got eva hard cases for them too.

Thanks for the info. Will only be for inside home use when my feet are cold. I rarely wear socks at home. It doesn't get cold here much which is really not even cold so only a few months a year I might wear them.
I probably won't buy another pair, I'm too cheap when it comes to things like this.
Been wanting another bench power supply for a while. My other one is a 120V 3A & it's big & heavy. Can't believe how cheap they are now. I don't need anything fancy, cheap & compact is fine with me, hopefully it lasts. 30V 10A.
And a new catalog. Never been so excited to get a catalog before (well except the time I got the 1st one). But whatever the excitement only lasted a few minutes and I'll probably never use the catalog anyway. Will just sit on the shelf with the other one.
Edit: While on the subject, thought this scene was pretty cool when I saw it in Big Hero 6.

Went to auction because I heard there was a fine Lassy in attendance and she might be had on the cheap.
Got distracted by a few other things though:
Parts washer. Happy to have this old Handi-Kleen, it's in good shape. I took the legs off to transport it home.
There were two 1-ton hoists, I wanted to walk away with one of them. I truly loved the look of the older Robbins & Myers but the Vital came up first. I bid on it in case the Robbins&Myers went higher than I wanted to spend, and got the Vital for a very nice price:
Quite a while later the R&M Model M came up. For my experience and what I've seen, there was a fairly low level of activity around this auction so I walked away with this one too. Very heavy in weight compared to the Vital:
I was the only bidder on this collection of small files. There are about 20 small diamond files in the left boxes, the middle box has several syringes of diamond compound. The two boxes on the right have bout 60 small files. I have a use for those but the diamond files and syringes of compound are outside of my current wheelhouse. Maybe I could use the diamond files on some carbide cutters with tricky profiles? But probably not:
I think this is serendipidous? About a month ago I bought a set of circlip pliers. A set of four that has larger tips for larger clips. I had considered getting a more comprehensive set that has finer needles for smaller circlips. This came up and again I was the only bidder. So I won this lot; five pliers with smaller tips, and a mixed selection of clips.
Ah. This! Any other auction house that I've dealt with would probably split this single lot of stamps into 4 or 5 smaller lots. They run from 1/32nd to 3/8ths, there are letter, number and symbol stamps. I don;t have a use for the smallest, but as I've discovered, once I do have something I often find a use, or create a use, for it:
These next two items were freebies. No bid or no pay items that they gave me as 'parting gifts' when I picked up my winnings. A Walworth wrench and a set of t-handle hex keys.
Oh, and that lovely Lassy? Here she is, a 12F in all her glory. I've been wanting a hand tapper for some time and this low-activity auction turned out to be the place to finally get one. It came with the two fences for the table and a set of 16 collets that I need to take a closer look at. Seven of the collets had taps installed in them, so a minor bonus. It appears to be in quite good shape. Clean. Well lubricated. The only thing missing is the adjustable weight arm lever for 'automatically raising' the wheel and tap away from the work after the tap is unthreaded from the work. While the top arm on the frame has a machined mounting point for the lever, the mounting area looks clean. No witness or shadow marks, so I don't think one was ever installed on this tapper.
Not bad for a slave girl auction!
Haha, yup, that's why I was so excited when I got them. I didn't think I would ever get one. I was just lucky at the right place at the right time, twice, which pretty much never happens to me.
