More snap on this week. The drill is a Sioux palm drill and she is a beast

My girlfriend heard me talking about getting a small tool box for my bicycle tools. She surprised me with it for my birthday earlier this week.

Husky Brand - I like the top tray for small parts storage. Downside is even empty its a bit heavy, but I'm not going to be moving it around much. Nice little toolbox.

California Air Compressor 6gal, 1hp, 2.35cfm
Goodyear Rubber Air Hose 3/8
Milton Inflator Gage
A Pair of work gloves
And some kick@ss box art from Harry Epstein

hi there my name is pat and I would like to know how that california air compressor works for you. Is it noisy is it fast to air up, you know the usual things us guys want to know.
Obviously I don't expect you to give me a rundown immediately, but more like in a week or a month depending how often you use it.

I believe the OEM is Mechanic Time Savers FYI, At least they look like the ones I have.

 

[Exceller8]

HMD, which wrench racks are you using?

 

[durallymax]

Gedore socket rail:

http:[/QUOTE]

Looks very nice. Is it magnetic to stick to the drawer? I see the actual holders use a detent. Can you put 3/8 and 1/4 in the same rail?

Thanks.

Thanks, I'll look into them.

Though to be honest, having 'Gedore' marked on there gives it a certain panache...

Also picked up a couple more HF welding clamps. Probably my favorite HF item.

This isn't my picture (obviously) but I just got the Kershaw Blur in S30V. I think it will make a great EDC utility knife.

IR429 body saw for working on the Chevelle...

I bought that same saw a few months back and have been kicking myself for not buying one years ago

Nothing big for me, noticed i had some stuff sitting in my tooltopia cart, and now i have my first set of gearwrench sockets(1/4drive metric shallow 6pt). Ive been doing work on newer (last20yrs) cars and my mix n match 1/4 metric set was getting frustrsting. Quality is superb for $20 and the rail they came on is great. Also grabbed a replacememt SK 3/8 hex bit to replace a lost one, and an apparent NOS lisle 7mm hex bit with a surprise inside

Lisle package was covered in a thick layer of dust and the applicable vehicles stop at '92

And the surprise...

somebody posted that you can´t interchange them on older models ?
http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=188830
but newer models are exchangeable ???
On these pics:
http://www.timesavershop.com/products.asp?cat=13
it looks like the base plates of the plastic squares have the same size like they would fit into the same rail which comes in different length. Would make sense...But the best might be to ask the OEM.
Yes the rear of the rail is magnetic.

Thanks, I'll look into them.

No tool purchases this week but emptying the bins at work the other day and a Facom 3/8 J.161 ratchet fell out at the bottom! Picked it up and it wouldn't move so pulled it apart, lubed it and put it back together and it works perfectly, I love it! Asked around to see who binned it but nobody knows, So I gave my old draper 3/8 to the apprentice

 

[Ronando]

Just picked up a sweet box cutter yesterday. Can't stop playing with it. Damn fine new toy. Got another one coming, it's a Klein too, but bigger and retractable. ...now all I need is some BOXES!

 

[Mr. Tool]

These arrived in the mail today Harry J. Epstein & Co. specials...FACOM tools.

[nikh]

Thanks to all of you tool addicts for making me feel like my too obsession is at least something close to normal

 

[canuckian]

picked up a couple items from the snappy guy today...LED underhood light, seal removal picks and 8mm and 9mm ratcheting wrenches...

those seal removal picks are amazing; haven't used them on a seal yet but i have use them for almost everything else
electrical connectors; stubborn trim
should probably buy another set

Also why do you need a 9 mm wrench?
i have heard a few applications and am just curious; i use them sometimes for rusted up 3/8 bolt heads

I didn't buy them for seals either. they just looked like a handy addition to my pick sets. Both the things you mentioned came to mind.Also thought they'd be good for getting crud out of close quarter spots.
lI honestly have no good reason at the present moment to have the 9mm. I needed the 8mm for a couple fasteners I've come cross on my car and motorcycle and he had the 9mm there so I picked it up. Guess I don't like to have gaps lol. I'm sure I'll come across a 9mm something or another sooner or later.

It would be great to see that in action..... waiting

I'm doing a test and calibration print at the moment ... about 4 hours into a 5+ hour print job to create 6 tiny little hollow 20mm cubes @ 0.05mm layer size (807 layers in total).

I'm documenting the whole process in a FaceBook album, but as I start to create stuff, I'll add pages to my business website.

My biggest limitation is the cost of the acrylate photopolymer resin (@$149/litre + shipping, taxes, and duty), but to be honest, I think it's still a lot cheaper than ink jet printer ink.
