Also a lifelong dream was achieved today, I was at Sears and the Snap-on man was in the parking lot. I got to check out the truck and he gave me a catalog. I felt like a kid in a candy store!

Congrats! The snappy truck can be a fun place.....also a very scary place when you see the receipt!!

Oh and nice tool haul!

 

[jeffmoss26]

Well that is why I did not buy anything LOL

ECP, where do your wrench racks come from?
Kevin

Yes I'd like to know as well. Those look really slick, I particularly like the easy to read sizes right on the holder. Even my old eyes can read them.

I got impatient and went searching.

Turns out you can get them badged as Matco and Blue Point.
I'd be curious to find out who really makes them, because on the truck they're about $40/ea

They're magnetic, but only lightly, just enough to keep the wrench from falling out as you open and close the drawers. If I find them for $20, I'd gladly buy them.

I also really dig those wrench racks. Any other info?

Picked these up today with some Christmas cash.

Going to give my Stanley FatMax drivers to someone else that has expressed interest in them.

 

[Krokodil]

How do you like the Wera lazertips?

How do you like the Wera lazertips?

Love'm.

Used some and decided to go ahead and get a full set of Wera drivers. Better than tool truck drivers.

My first post in this thread, but it think this is a good reason. My Aunt just gave me this, it was my Uncles who recently passed and this was his dad’s and was his dad’s dad.

What is it? Looks like a super fancy level.

Well its been a while since i posted any of my new tools so here's a bunch.

Cornwell Stubby ratcheting wrenches

Cornwell Roll around chair

Matco MT2840 3/8 ratchet, this little guy is powerful for its size, I added a pic of it next to my SO FAR2500.

Nice little Sunex 1/4 drive splice drice ratchet and socket set, the only thing this guys missing in a 13mm

Streamlight Stinger DS LED, must have...

Cornwell 21/22mm xl ratcheting wrench

SO 10pc punch and chisel set, $99 deal

 

[popeye304]

My kids bought me some new wrenches. I'm sure it is so I can continue keeping their cars running. I have wonderful kids.

I was wondering, does anyone know where I can get a couple more of these molded plastic tool cases? I'd like to get a couple I have enough old tools I'm thinking of setting up small tool cases for going to the junk yard and stuff.

 

[Boost Creep]

they sell empty cases at sears

 

[FancyLearnin]

I've been picking up some of the last Craftsman Pro (USA) wrenches in my area...I've now acquired a complete set of SAE wrenches, up to 1-1/2 inches, and all the metric ones as well.


Also got all the Craftsman Pro stubbies SAE and metric...


All the Craftsman Pro offset box ends in SAE and metric...


The complete set of Cross Form wrenches in SAE and metric (some hate 'em, but I really like them)


Not the Pro series, but all the 6 pt wrenches in SAE and metric...


But I'm not just into the CM Pros....

 

[FancyLearnin]

And while we're at it, just picked up some Armstrong ratcheting combos (not a lot of ratcheting wrenches made in the USA)


Some Proto 500 double box ends (didn't need them , but the deal was too good to pass up)


Proto flare nut wrenches. These have a uniquely thick open end. Anyone have any experience with these?


My first set of Wright combo wrenches (these are quickly becoming my favorites)


Various Wiha pieces...


And what new acquisition would be complete without some new ratchets (Armstrong 12-994 flex head / Wera Zyklop / Craftsman Premium 1/2 and 1/4 / Craftsman thin profile set / Proto J5249XL / Wright 3425 / Wright 3430 / Titan 1/4 gearless / SK Palm control / Snappy F80)

My $15 service cart that I basically stole (for the price) from a liquidating Blockbuster Video store:

Nice haul, Iv'e been doing the same--couldn't help but notice your large SAE have USA on the box end-all the smaller one's it's on the open end, the module one's seem to be all marked USA on the open ends

 

[FancyLearnin]

Yeah, I noticed that, too. It's only on the really large ones, 1-1/16 - 1-1/2 inches. I had never even seen or heard of that set before I found that one. I wonder if it is made at a different factory that the rest...

 

[canuckian]

These came from member Wchamberlain today. BP composite adjustables, Matco 1/2 88 tooth ratchet, Matco reducer/adapter set and a Mac ratcheting screwdriver -a package without a ratcheting screwdriver from Will just wouldn't be right! Impressed with it all but what caught me most off guard was the Mac screwdriver. That's a nice little driver! The selector switch is, dare I say it, smoother and easier to move with one finger then the snap on's! It's not a hard handle though so it's still only "nice"

 

[98TJ]

With the the $149 HF 5-drawer tool cart coupon, the brother-in-law and I went to town and came back with these. One for my place, one for the FIL. He's never had (or wanted) a tool box so the BIL and I went out tonight. The BIL was going to get something from Sears or Lowe's, but I showed him these and he agreed that this were much better built and a better deal - and he's not a tool guy.

 

[John316]

Those larger ones are the NOS Craftsman Professional which were made by S-K. The shape at the box end is a dead giveaway. The text on these was also reverse of the newer Pro wrenches. I have a metric set of these as well as SAE up to 1" I bought probably 15 years ago. The best CM wrenches ever in my opinion!

 

[gasjockey]

i got this on the cheep rack at princess auto yester day there was no price so i asked a guy that worked there he looked at the wrench section and couldent find them so he stuck a $5.00 price tag on them pritty nice set for $5.00 http://www.princessauto.com/pal/product/8320319/Sets/5-pc-Metric-Ratcheting-Spline-Wrench-Set

 

[zbadass28]

Got this free off the truck on Monday

 

[jeffmoss26]

[jeffmoss26]

It's like Christmas around here!!
Snap-on lot from gdetie, stack o' license plates from a coworker (he just GAVE them to me) and another frankenstein tool I made...took the bit/shaft/holder from a Klein 5 in 1 and drilled out the Snap-on handle to fit!

 

[IBJanky]

The gf totally supports my tool addiction, so she got me these for :

myke

 

[jeffmoss26]

It rocks to have someone who appreciates your hobby!

 

[JAKE-THE-TOOL-MAN]

No pics yet but I just order a plier rack, orange boot for my 14.4 snap on impact, and an adjustable back beanie from my snap on guy. Still deciding on whether or not to pull the trigger on the magnetic blue point circular LED light, anyone have this and like/use it a lot?

 

[knocker]

Here's the newest addition to my tool arsenal.

Cornwell 3/8" BluePower Impact w/ boot

Cornwell 3/8" 90 degree drill "sorry just a pic of the box w/ tool inside"

I was up late last night and decided to check out the Garage Sale section on CL, well I found one that said there was tools so I stopped by on my way to work this morning and scored these for a whopping $4!

 

[bobemmerich]

heres mine...KD U.S. made metric and SAE socket sets and a Husky 52" box.

 

[wannab20hatch]

My spot weld drill finally came in today

 

[canuckian]

Dropped by HD while visiting the inlaws to pick up a Milwaukee 12v ratchet (which they didn't have ) and instead picked up a Greenlee step drill bit and cable puller on clearance ($15 for both) and decided to try the new Dewalt ratcheting screwdriver. Can't say I'm in love with the screwdriver but it'll do fine in the kitchen drawer for odds and ends. also got a Kershaw chubby SO knife from eBay (nice knife) and a set of Wera ESD micro screwdrivers from member kissmeimgerman. Great guy to deal with, quick shipping and great packaging! oh and got a roll of the "good" 3m electrical tape at HD as well.

 

[jasonreck71]

Seems pretty simple but the Home Depot had these bad boys for 3/$9.99. Fed up with the old style utility knife...check out my blog for a full write up on; yup just a utility knife

 

[jeffmoss26]

got 4 pairs of pliers from toolman12...great guy to deal with!
the Craftsman bottle opener is for a buddy, he saw the one I have and wanted it. Ordered from sears.com and it shipped from Apex Tool Group in NC...can anyone explain that?

 

[DARKSCOPE001]

Just some tools I picked up today with some giftcards i got for . Been wanting the knipex pliers for a long time. Needed a new toolbag for work. And a punch holder.

Next up are some new screwdrivers. I got a PH2 from Felo and have been impressed so far. Taking it to work tonight and going to give it a try. Ill upload what I get later.

Thanks
