I'm going to look for these. I've always used my cable hose clamp pliers to hold a nut or bolt in a pinch, but something that doesn't flex would be far more useful.I was looking for some ultra-low profile sockets and came across these Tite-Reach Extension Clamps. They are useful when you just need to hold on to a nut or fastener. Also handy as a small parts vice.

I love the dual reading and double sided feature.
Anyone know of imperial tape measures like this?

Indeed. All of the metric tape measures we have are the stupid double-scale--metric and inch. Inevitably, the wrong scale is always on the side I'm trying to read from.
Yep, that's what drove me to searching for a just-metric tape.
Good idea on the Icon pliers, almost buy 2 get one free. My store was out of most on the 35% off coupon so I didn't bother going.

That's why he looks like 90+ years old.

It's a Makita 7403 L I think. It's down in the sawmill building and I'm messing around with deciding on a stain for the project.
Agreed! Already had 1 but too good of price to not get some more
How / where did you buy that? The link appears to be for the manufacturer, to wholesalers?

Thank you for that. Now I'm depressed it's $28,901.45. LOL
I typed in my zip code and it told me to get the hell off the website.

I guess the location of a decimal point can make a difference?

It's $2600 something. Lots of used units all seem to be from Japan and mostly 1 seller. Most of them are $800 or less.
In the past somewhere I read that those were a different voltage than the units that get shipped to the USA with a following comment that it didn't matter to the machine.
Other comments that I've seen is the cutting chain is in the $500 range so I just "bit the bullet".
There's a lot on YouTube with a simple "makita chain mortising machine".
Those guys in Japan got the children's first Japanese traditional woodworker's tool set when they were kids and hated those two chisels, too!

I wasn't aware of their centuries old traditional joinery .

Japan uses 100v and 200v electrical systems in different parts of the country.
Some people think a transformer to change the voltage is necessary to use the Japanese spec units.
My guess, is that Makita probably uses wire and insulation that can handle 120v current just fine, and that the only difference will be slight differences in the output speed.
At least that is my understanding.

Tsunoda Plastic Cutting Pliers PN-125 (135mm)
After much exploration and weigh-up, I went for this one as it suits my uses. There was practically nothing in it between this and the Knipex 72 01 140, just yellow to distinguish and a bit cheaper. A short length of heat-stretched 15mm hosepipe fits nicely over the end to store it shut.
Knipex Universal Tweezers 92 84 18 (126mm, tip 1x0.5mm)
I wanted something precise but not too dainty, so chose this one for the tip profile & size. There are cheaper tweezers, but Knipex made the effort to put up detailed photos and measurements of their tips (if only they did with their pliers like Tsunoda do). Came with a plastic tip storage cap.

Is it just me or do y'all hear the word "mortiser" (and "mortise") in the voice of Norm Abram?

Those knipex tweezers are great for gripping that stray nose hair.

Man, you ****!! Those boxes look immaculate. Great score.
I don't want anything to do with Sunex these days and I hesitate to order anything from them because I don't know what I'm actually going to get in return. I really don't like that and I don't think it's fair to the customers either.
They are different tools, depending on COO.
