[Chadwilliam1]

how do those snap on roto head ratchets compare to say gearwrench?

 

[Cheeky81]

Can't really say, because I don't own any Gearwrench ratchets.

I really like the Snap-on one though... and it has even finer teeth than Dual 80 (72 vs 100).

The Snap On roto head ratchet is better, slightly longer and most likely stronger, but probably not $60 better for most people. My friends and co-workers have the Gearwrench roto ratchets and like them. Personally, I have all of the Snap On roto ratchets and love them, and would not replace them with the Gearwrenches.

Got a Husky bucket thing and a hangall. Some Husky Wrenches, channellock 908 crimper/wire strippers. And a mayhew curved pick/awl.

I like the little Husky bucket thing...

Droooool. Where did you score all that?

 

[yaidunno]

Droooool. Where did you score all that?

The long cabinet screwdriver set and mini pick/driver set were right from snap on. Everything else is from ebay. Was able to get some pretty good deals, just took about a month to collect it all.

 

[GarageNewbie24]

Sweet. I got one of those and a SWAG Offroad table and it's one of the most used tools in my garage.

Nice! Yea, that's next. I was going to get the 4x6 from HF but figured the milwaukee would be a better tool. Especially with the SWAG table.

@Chuck122
Yup! Use them all the time, get better tools for great prices. Only works at HD though, Lowes refuses to match anyone, including coupons from HD.

That thing was only like 6.99. I plan to get a second one to hang by my toolbox at work to drop stuff in.

That's awesome! You inspired me to redo my layout! Do you know if they made that Torx set in the green handle too? I've seen that orange set but never with the green hard handles.

I've only seen the Torx drivers in orange, red, and black. Not to say that green wasn't made though. Im sure someone else can tell you with certainty.

Hi everyone. I'm new here and figured this is a good place to start. Just got this new Matco box today. Also picked up some Pliers, ratchets, etc. but didn't get any pics yet.

Welcome.
I like the color of the box.

$100 off what? What was the final price?

Love the color! If I ever decide to paint my box, that's a combo I would definitely consider. It doesn't scream look at my toolbox...very nice!

 

[BlksnshN]

Thanks! I originally wanted the stealth (flat) black but the Matco guy gave me a good deal on this Silver Vein box. I'm quite pleased with it.

Yeah, my Cart is sitting just to the right in this pic. It's the Snap On three drawer in the bright green. lol. I wished I had bought black almost right away after getting that cart. It's a cool color but too flashy for me.

 

[ricky836]

$100 off the retail price. it was like $365 I think

 

[chrisa7164]

WElcome! Love the color combo

[durallymax]

Filled up a couple of my screwdriver drawers with some new Wiha's. First pic is phillips/slotted. Purple ones are all Microfinish. Most are heavy duty. A few of the red are just softfinish drivers that they didn't have in Microfinish. The red ones with red shafts are screwholding. They're badass. They physically clamp the screw.

 

[Seiler]

I'm so broke.

Everything left of the X-Acto is new.

Yesterday's score at Canadian Tire:

Stanley 26 piece 1/4", 3/8" and 1/2" drive Torx bit and e-Torx socket kit (STM71656) - on sale at $19.99 ($50 off recommended retail)

Stanley 27 piece 3/8" drive hex bit socket kit (STM71655) - on sale at $19.99 ($50 off recommended retail)



These two kits are more complete versions of the limited range of hex and torx bits that came in my Stanley socket kits (hex in one kit, torx in the other).

Stanley 36 piece metric/sae combination wrench set - 13 metric sizes from 6mm-19mm (no 16mm), 11 SAE sizes from 1/4" to 3/4" (including 9/32" and 11/32") plus 12 stubbys (10mm-15mm and 5/16"-5/8") - on sale at $39.98 ($110.01 off recommended retail)



These combination wrenches are pretty ho-hum, and without the Stanley logo, they could be any better quality black finish Chinese tool. The "black chrome" finish feels and looks like it's nothing more than gloss black paint and I suspect the LASERed size markings and logo will wear off pretty quickly, but at least each piece is also has the size stamped on the other side at both ends. I certainly wouldn't have paid the recommended $149.99 price for them, but at the sale price, they were a good deal. They'll fill the SAE gaps in my tool box, and as the bulk of my metric wrenches are cheap unbranded Chinese tools, the box holding my "junk grade tools" is going to get a lot heavier.

Craigslist...sometimes I get lucky.

My first set of REAL drivers thanks to Ash at GHT. FELO # 53167 with the 3pc torx. Huge toss up for me between these, Wiha, Wera and Snap On soft instinct. Unfortunately I went with the handles that looked the best. Im not sure how I did but am very happy with what Ive got.

Trying to sell some unneeded tools to complete the set. - #3 phillips, larger flat head drivers, the rest of the torx and square drive. Should be plenty for me.




SF80 from SCscout guy, a couple Sunex impact sockets from Tooltopia, GLA12B 3/4x1/2 impact adapter, AWEF6K, SGF4MA mini file and a 9/64 bit off the SO truck


Bluepoint ball peen hammer handle for my BP16B hammer from SO website and 3pc brass drift set from Northern Tool -5.99 on sale right now.


Channellocks #317, 437 and 548 from HJE
