There was 944191

Pardon Our Interruption...

And

944181

Pardon Our Interruption...

I did not look at the differences

Pretty clear the 944181 in your second listing is a typo as it says 944191 right there on it in the images provided.
I have that same set and it's 944191.

BTW: Looks like Craftsman 944181 is a 9pc SAE set of combination wrenches.

I've got several toolboxes, but I recently set up a USG full bank cart with my most frequently used tools, and absolutely love it. Super well built, perfect sized drawers, swallows a ton of tools. I liked it so much i bought another one today...

Not 100% sure what it's mission will be, but i'm thinking of setting it up for all my 12V/18V/20V tools and perhaps my oversized wrenches and such. I also bought one of there stupid meme toolboxes which is as worthless as you might imagine, not sure what I was thinking.

Proto 4750 HTC precision arrived today.

Damn it, you just cost me $90. Couldn't resist the combo of this gorgeous ratchet and another Zoro 20% off coupon...

 

[Markoos]

Accidental marketplace find. Brand new, £80.

 

[four.cycle]

And I never know if the “Made in USA” claim on the sheet is literally for that card stock identifier or the kit itself.

Lang / A&E / Kastar (Racine Wisconsin) has as its largest customer one Snap-on Tool Company of Kenosha, Wisconsin.

As that is the same rethreader kit you'd get off a big white truck, I'd guess it's most likely made in the U.S., like most all of Lang / A&E / Kastar's other products.

It was new--60-ish years ago.

My great-Grandma's Sears Kenmore 148.12140. Been clearing loads of junk out of the outbuilding (I now have a 6x6 spot of empty floor!), and finally found it under the junk.

Made in Japan. The 148 suggests that it was made by Soryu. The presence of multiple stylized "Js" in the castings made think Janome--hoewver, they only made the 385 series.

Almost entirely metal except for the carry case/base. Thus, it's a pretty hefty machine.





Needs the rubber bits replaced, and a manual. I have the original screwdriver, but just grabbed my little PB Swiss. Probably better on the screws anyway.

It works great. But, the belt is so dried up (and probably stuck to some of the parts) that the power is not transferred from the motor (which still runs good) to the pulley.

I'm taking it to a pretty sizeable (apparently, one of the bigger suppliers of old sewing machine parts in the country) sewing machine dealer a couple towns over, and see if they have any of the parts I need, as well as how to put them on.

Needs a few attachments to suit my uses as well. Mostly, I plan to use it hem pants and mend clothing in general. However, I want to make some canvas tool rolls and pouches with it, as well as axe covers.

Final pieces of my wrench upgrades arrived today.

Facom 65 Metric Angled Head Ratchet Ring Wrenches
I had not seen these in offset type before, I expect I'll reach for them more often. Just my most commonly used sizes, as I do have other options (I'd have got an 8x10 if they did one like Beta do with their 195P).


Facom 66A.10X13 Hinged Socket Wrench
Saw this type of wrench used by Swedish YouTuber M. Bjoernstroem, they seemed handy, and reminded me of the same type my dad had in his toolbox in the 90s when I was a kid (I actually remember how loose they were). The special 10x13 size is commonly used enough that I had to try one for myself, despite mostly negative sentiment in threads here about these "Saltus" type wrenches which are still popular in the Nordics. The spring tightness is just right, and the sizes are marked around the sockets three times.


Facom 76.J5PB Angled Socket Wrench bi-hex set
French style "Cles a pipe". Unnecessary, obsolete... maybe, but interesting, and I stumbled upon them relatively cheaply while looking for something else. Think I'll put them on the wall to encourage me to grab them.

My first order from HJE - big thanks to GJ for singing their praises. What an incredible selection of common and rare tools!

• Vessel Ultraball 3m Hex Driver - wanted to try these out so just picked up one in a size I use 3mm ball ends for often.
• Malco Eagle Grips - had the 10" already, should have ordered months ago when there were more available.
• Top Offset Adjustable Wrench - super nice, almost picked one of these up while I was in Japan but can't remember why I didn't.
• Kanetsune Misuzu Scissors - never had anything like these but figured it was worth the punt. They seem great for all the small detail stuff I'm not great at (like cutting precise round corners and such)

Early start to the day… 1st day of HF parking lot sale for ITC. 40% off Icon wrenches, 50% off nitrile gloves

Eastwood 0 offset wrench set and CTA stubby torx insert bits for an upcoming water pump job.

 

[M635_Guy]

Got out early this morning to take advantage of the 40% off Icon wrenches today to get some that would have come in really handy recently...

This makes me feel like I'm kinda set for wrenches (...he says, realizing the irony of that statement on GarageJournal... )

I'd be curious to hear your thoughts on the Vessel ultraball powergrip hex driver - had my eyes on those as well.

Look up a few posts -- tis plain, you need some French wrench-pipes next!

I need to drill through the 8-10" still at the house..

 

[pfbz]

This guy arrived yesterday. A Stahlwille 11111050 along with a Koken 1/4" Spinner.

Damn it is small! Not sure if it's a keeper.... The spinner is awesome though!





In comparison to Wiha and Wera bit ratchets, a Snap On T72, and an Astro Nano 91405.

I constantly tell myself that, but always end up buying more. It's like a sickness I'm trying desperately to control.

Speaking of which, I picked up the large size Icon SAE combination wrench set and a box of gloves this morning. Both were 40% off and I had $35 in "HF cash", so I walked away for only $30 and change.

I wanted to buy more wrenches, but I had to exercise some self control (blasphemy).

Quoting myself...everything is awesome except this Vessel driver.

Not really sure what the Ultraball profile is for - perhaps it works well in a hex fastener with a lot of insertion depth, but that isn't what a 3mm hex would normally have. It will round / cam out of an M5 cap head stainless hex fastener at around 2nm. Wera ball hex has no issues.

But, nonetheless, I'm glad I was able to try it out without spending a ton.

I went over between meetings... I needed some deep offset and have had a need multiple times for them. Also wanted some ratcheting long format combos. Already have stubbies and a good set of regular combos.... I'm kinda wrench set myself now too. The S pattern I've never had a need for yet.... same with flex and double box extra long. The cars I work on I've never had a need.

Oh and a couple boxes of gloves.

The inventory was pretty well picked through at 1030am... and Im in an area there are a dozen HF within 30 mins.

I resist the rest. At the discounted price these are a good buy.

I guess after twenty-eight years of working out of this shop, I have the tools I really need to build, fix and maintain our equipment.

But I still lust... and if I see a cool tool at a sale, I'll buy it if I can justify it in the least bit

 

[WWheeler]

Picked up a Milwaukee 2460-20 M12 Rotary Tool (the cheaper brushed model).



I have two corded Dremels that I rarely use, and a Dewalt DW660 corded rotary tool, that's more of as roto-zip that I use to open up drywall or tile for outlets/fixtures, and I've a few pneumatic angle and straight die grinders that actually do get used a fair bit, mostly automotive work, but I digress. I've been wanting a cordless rotary tool just so I can have something little more convenient to get to. And on that note, for convenience I also picked up a Dremel 4486 tool-less chuck for it in the hopes that changes ought to be a bit quicker and I won't have to keep the little wrench handy.



I also picked up a WorkPro 476 pc rotary tool accessory kit to compliment it. Seems like a nice assortment. The case they come in could be better. Many many of the pieces were out of their position and scattered around the inside of the case, and a few had made it behind the white panel and were rattling around between it and the outer shell. The white piece will pop out making it not too hard to get them from behind it but not-so-easy to do while it's holding all those little pieces. It definitely could have been designed better. It'll be fine in my garage but it's not a road-ready assortment by any means.

Yours are magnetic? Mine are brass--magnets don't touch them.

An order from HJE. A 1 quart Hoffman NOS oil can, the Lang long punch that isn’t included with the 3 piece set, and some USA made zipper bags.

 

[PelicanPines]

Mine are marine stainless...

 

[Skyman]

Xcelite nut driver set, missing two drivers (which I think should be 1/4 and 5/16), and I'm guessing an extension, possibly another piece:




And Xcelite ball point Allen set that might or might not be missing one or two drivers:

I have that same Milwaukee rotary tool - love it but my application is a little unusual.

I de-gloved the end of a finger in a line on a commercial fishing boat.

Part of the nail still grows back but it can't be cut with clippers the way it curves back in.

I use a cone shaped abrasive bit on that rotary tool to grind down what's left of the nail...lol

Not really a tool but, an SK mini tool box.

Not really a tool but, an SK mini tool box.

I know this is an Asian import from Great Star, but I really should get one of 'em for my US 1/4-drive stuff.

 

[Mr. Roboto]

I bought the metric set of these last year. For the money, they've been fantastic, so I picked up the SAE set as well.

 

[Fedwrench]

I'd look on ebay for some old school hammertone green SK boxes for that. This mini box is for decorative purposes only

Interesting, ah that's what these are. I had never seen these before. I got a few of them from Aliexpress a couple of months ago for $2-$3ea. Thought they might be useful at work but I haven't found a use for one yet. I was wondering what they were copies of.

What's the difference between a sewing machine and a female jogger?

A sewing machine only has one bobbin.

It was de-gloved. Trust me, I was there!

That pic is after they snipped off the 3/8” of protruding bone.

I thought I’d spare you the before picture - now that is “graphic”.
