Ebay is a dangerous place after several beers.

I've been considering a breathalyzer interlock on my card.... Not just for Ebay, but for anywhere after perusing this thread! "Gee, that's a nifty tool that I don't have and right here's a handy linky to it... OOH! only twenty bucks...."

Went to settle up my tab, but…….I just couldn’t resist. Got a bit off for them though. Maybe next time I’ll have more will power. BTW Thin jaws are Spanish

I have these thin jaw ones. Channellock, hecho en España tambien.

Used them the other day on a threaded headset for one of my bikes. I have a headset wrench that fits, but it was just a little loose fitting.

I think they're making them for both CL and SO.

Ocean State Job Lot is quite different than Tractor Supply. They buy closeout items in bulk from other major retailers and sell it at a discount. Their inventory changes very frequently (brands/models) as a result.

The name comes from the fact that they started in RI (as did I, LOL).

I’m guessing they’re similar to Ollie’s? We got to Ollie’s in Terre Haute or Vincennes, IN all the time usually not much in the way of tools but we buy a lot of stuff like sheets and towels.

Wheel hub removal tool. Admittedly, it’s a knock off of the lisle….but it’s half the price and it comes in a case. I’m a sucker for a case.

Love my Lisle wheel bearing tool but the WORST part about it is they give you NOTHING to store it in... Seriously, a cardboard box that disintegrates after two uses? Sheesh... I ended up buying a PFC case with foam made in USA that fit perfectly without even having to cut the foam. Link in case anyone else with a Lisle 40100 wants a case for it.

Sounds like it. They usually have lots of seasonal stuff, decent selection of housewares and kitchen goods, but only a very small tool section.

Bought a router motor to use in my router lift. I've had the lift for some time. The motor will also fit my PC fixed & plunge bases. It's variable speed and soft-start - a big improvement over the PC690 standard motor (I hope).

Woodpeckers had the motor on sale for $60 off.

That looks very Snap-Onny. Does SO make that ratchet?

Yes, made by Snap-on for CAT.

The Milwaukee bug has infected me bad.

I realized I don't wanna have to go out to the new pole barn every time I want a 1/4" driver in the house so I came up the idea of leaving the Dewalt in the house tool box and equip the pole barn with Milwaukee tools.

Weak excuse to buy new tools I know.

LMAO... I have 6 of those batteries... maybe 8... and three of those drivers... along with 20+ of their relations. This is Garage Journal. The MOST EXPENSIVE free forum on the internet.

Glad I won't be here for it...lol

I also have a quite extensive WWI and WWII firearm, bayonet and web gear collection.

Out of fear my wife would let it go cheap, I have made a spreadsheet of weapons and accessories with what I paid for them and their appraised value. I update it about every year or so. It's in the sealed binder in the safe labeled "OPEN WHEN IM DEAD"

I probably should start adding tools to it....lol

Since everybody here appears to be a big fan of the Kobalt and HF wee promotional tool chests, here's a 15 minute review by America's favorite acerbic forklift repairman. He's known for mocking fools in the world of tools and construction and industry, but he also does some product reviews.

Video includes tale of Snap On tool cabinet woe, and a very quick review of two clamps from HF. ("Berger", another fake brand within HF that's meant to sound like some respectable clamp brand? Bessey?)

Heard the Snap on version is in development, will retail for $699.00 plus shipping on Black Friday.

I am a firm believer in to each their own - none of my business how people spend their own money, but........

I really don't get the fascination with these little boxes.

Yep, I’ve got them also. Had the Channellock version but I’m not a fan of the Irega adjustable wrenches.

Definitely need some of those, they are incredibly effective for trim panels. Mine have bluepoint written on the side, but look identical.

Snap on usually gives them away if you ask your dealer nicely. I’ve got one of the 95th anniversary versions.

Interesting factoid ... You can't really pull the bits up nd out... The proper way... Push them DOWN thru the bottom ... Easy peezy.

I've bought a couple three-packs from them after getting a single. I've got a several spread through my garage, one in my travel roll and I've given a couple away as gifts. I use them super often - way more than I expected (hence why I have five floating around).

Picked up Snap On TKF72 and got my dealer to swap the anvil to a 3/8 drive for a reasonable £100 including TAX ($126)

Will go nicely with my TK72 I already own for those really awkward jobs.

 

[CHI_Tool&Die]

Newest addition to the good old work box. My Matco guy still hasn’t shown up with my order from July but he is alive cause he finally responded to my text. Bought this ratchet online from Matco. I think that Matco makes my favorite ratchets out of the tool truck brands, but the jury is still out as I don’t have a ton of time behind my 100 tooth Snappys yet.

 

[Etchase]

$27.49 at Lowe’s if you can find them. Identical to the Proto, with the ratcheting size adjustment. I like this over the awkward Knipex size adjust. Made in France. Who thought Craftsman would be my holiday gift of choice.
