Bought these a little while ago but never got to posting them. Drill, Impact Driver and 1/2 Impact wrench along with milwaukee drill bit set and impact bit set. All of this for a little over 170 total. I think I made out quite well. Anyone have any opinions on the C3 stuff.

my first "pro" wrench, like how it grabs the flats rather than the corners:

Cornwell man intrigued me with this one. A basic multimeter, and scanner in one. Since I got the few bucks I owed him paid off, I thought I'd splurge. To be honest, for simple CEL checks, and voltage/draw checks it gets to be a pain hauling around a full diagnostic scanner, and a full fluke. This seemed like a great option. And has more features then I expected. Including vehicle specific codes, data display, basic tests, charging tests, starter tests, and battery tests! Along with a graphing meter. Time will tell if I like it, but for the price I'm impressed.

And my other crank turner came in.

Oh, so this website will deliver, let me make weekly payments, hand warranty issues, and countless other things? You pay for the service of a tool truck.

zbadass, crazy what people think is junk. Good finds!
Jawn, I've installed thousands of those screws over the years...and punched down an awful lot of cable :D

Just picked up a matching cranberry Snap On KRSC46 cart to go along with my 761 for $800 in excellent condition. I had to drive 3 hour round trip for it but I wanted the matching one and they don't pop up every day.

Lol, I figured I wouldnt get away with that. I got all pictured for $170 out the door. Not too shabby considering retail is:
http://buy1.snapon.com/catalog/item...roup_ID=682048&store=snapon-store&dir=catalog

And it had a long hammer bit and a pickle fork bit that don't normally come with the set also.

Great job on that.I wouldve bought that in a heartbeat.The list price is just F***in' stupid ! The guy that originally bought that lost his *** on that deal especially at a pawn shop.

If those have the hex hole at the bottom of the adjustment screw, then they're assembled in the USA, made out of Chinese parts. I drank the Kool-Aid and bought a pair and after a little research, discovered the ruse. It pissed me off to no end that they'd put an American flag on what's essentially a piece of Chinese junk.

Hmm...guess ill have to go out and check. Just got another one today to give as a gift. For $4 guess its hard to complain.

They usually put assembled out of imported stuff though. I'll report back.

Nope. No hex in the screw.

Where were those made? How do you like them?

Made in Taiwan. I haven't used them in a real use scenario yet, but initial impressions is that they are the best ratchets i currently have. very smooth ratcheting, very thin profile, fit & finish is top notch. unless they fall apart on me under real use, I think I will like this more than my Snap-On (F80,S80A) or Craftsman premium (84t). To top it off, the set of 3 was only $75 shipped to me.

Couple of "freebies' that were destined to the dumpster while helping a friend move last weekend.

WEN All-Saw
Model 909
USA made
Chicago, IL

Circa 1950's to 1960's I guessin'.

Works perfectly.
I shoved in a new blade and it needed one of 2 set screws for the blade replaced.

Reminds me of a tool for dudes "that can't man-up" to using a circular saw during that era. LOL. Plenty of amps and power tho.

Other is a 3.5" Columbian vise. Model 1035.
Replaceable jaws.
Needs a little lovin' but works just fine.

Both were destined for the landfill.

Kinda sad, but they do now have a good home.

:)

Picked up a harbor freight 1 ton shop crane last night for $143 out the door. Got to love those 20% off coupons.

120 teeth? Isn't that like the highest tooth count yet? Are they limited in amount of force to be used?

it's actually a 60 tooth gear, with dual pawls that are offset to engage alternately to make 120 positions. so, the gear teeth themselves are probably just as strong as the older 60 tooth gearwrench model (which I've used for a while and never had a problem), but the contact surface of the pawl and the gear is about half... so, how does that translate to how much torque this thing can take, i'm not sure... but i think the design is creative/innovative and better than having a gear with finer teeth.

If the fine teeth are strong there should be no problem though. But sounds 'innovative'.. reminds me of the gearless ratchets, never used 'em, i'm wondering how strong those are!

Are those 120 ratchets Armstrong? I can't make out the name but the logo looks like it.
Are they low profile?

Regarding fine teeth, I'm not sure the same principals apply but with common thread technology fine threads are considered stronger than coarse threads. (this would be taking into account that a nut should be 1 1/2 the thickness of the bolt) so in that area or distance the fine threads provide more strength from shearing or breaking. The advantage of coarse threads is it takes less turns to remove the nut as the fewer threads are more inclined.

Ratchet teeth are not inclined but the strength factor should still apply. If you grab the anvil of your ratchet and wiggle it you will see there is considerable wobble between it and the body. If the spindle on your car was that loose you'd have to take it off the road. Because ratchets aren't made to such tight tolerances there is a limit to how fine the teeth can be before they start to slip or disengage. Big coarse teeth can tolerate a lot of slop before they will disengage. Building a ratchet with very little slop between the anvil and the body to allow for finer teeth would seem to be the challenge.
