Bought a couple Dasco cold chisels at one of the local hardware stores.

Is this a good brand in the States?

I am trying to familiarize myself with your tools.

 

[jeffmoss26]

In my opinion, yes. I've never had a problem with any of their chisels or punches, and they can be found in many stores.

Nice buy and a steal at a fiver

Not new, but new to me. Picked it up for a fiver at a car boot sale, all it needed was a new plug.
DeWalt DW411 palm sander. Made in USA.

i finally found a DEC MMJ die for my crimpmaster on ebay! i'd say this is probably the best tenner i've spent in a while. i can't wait to start making up some nice custom console cables for all my old VAX equipment...

i'd say it's at least a mid range brand, and it is US-made. i've always thought dasco made fine punches and chisels but every once in a while you'll run into someone who absolutely hates them.

 

[McFarmer]

OTC 12 ton bottle jack ($168 and made in Spain) and a new Sure Shot. Local auto parts store.

 

[csmitty]

Went back to sears to get some clearanced Gladiator stuff and it was gone

So got this for $0.14 instead. Can't really complain its China I guess.

 

[jmscollinsiii]

When gj went down for maintenance last night I got on craigslist and snaged these for $50. Sorry for the crapy pic. They are a 3/8" - 1" Snap-On wrench sets.

 

[OhWrencher]

Did you forget a number on that $50? Great deal. I just picked this up off my snappy guy and had to share.

 

[rshadd]

Kill A Watt Meter...

 

[Specs]

I was busy: mac/snapon/and blue point

 

[AV tinker er]

Kill A Watt Meter...

I have been wanting to get one of those. Can you post a review in a couple of days/weeks?

 

[Super Sport]

Decided to buy one of these since I have two vehicles I'm concerned might have bad head gaskets...

 

[tweedlestan]

Be careful with that thing...

 

[scaron]

closing on house delayed again, and a federal government shutdown to throw a nice blanket of uncertainty on my FHA loan to boot. i decided to salve the pain with a new set of klein precision drivers that i'd been lusting after for a while. i really like this set, very nice quality, much better than the precision drivers you find at sears. i guess i must be a real tool-aholic, LOL.

 

[NUTTSGT]

Compliments of a good friend.

 

[MN_Runner]

MAC SAE Wrenches, MAC Spark Plug Set, Toyota Oil Filter Wrenches.

 

[amlv20]

I love that spark plug set, and those Toyota filter cups are a must. Some of my best buys from mac

 

[Chadwilliam1]

 

[wittycow]

I really wanted these in Green, but Red was on the truck.....As for the filter wrench, if I borrow something 3 times, I try to buy my own.

Was at Lowes in the next town over. Found these 8" Knipex hanging in an out of the way spot. $10.33 on clearance!!!

 

[OxJaw]

A few things I've bought over the past few months. Channellock and Knipex and the lone SnapOn pliers are courtesy of the Hot deals section. They GripLocks are pretty nice and grip really well. I've wanting to try a set of these type of pliers for a while now and I'm impressed. They grabbed where vise grip just spun. Really thinking about the Knipex Cobras now, I hear they grip better than the Channellocks and if they do that's pretty impressive.

Set of Craftsman snap ring pliers. These are much nice and easier to use than those cheap fuckers from Autozone. I really like these, should have bought them sooner.

 

[kunkernator]

Stanley Proto 3/4" drive torque wrench with a 1/2" drive Snap On pinned reducer.

Thanks warmpancakes!

 

[Hootbro]

Received my 3/8" locking flex Armstrong ratchet from Advance Auto. The rest of the trinkets are from Cripes.

 

[JBradley500]

I just got the 3/8" and 1/4" to go with the 1/2" from advance this week too. I really like them.

Same here. Advance split my shipment up and the 1/4" will be in tomorrow. I snagged a gently used 1/2" one on Ebay for half the cost of new. These are nice ratchets.

FWIW, I swapped in the 84 tooth internals from my Craftsman premium ratchets and they are a direct working fit.

 

[Chadwilliam1]

those Armstrong locking flex ratchets are awesome, I have all three. How do you like those Napa pliers? I am thinking about picking up a pair.

Edit: I also have 84 tooth kits in mine.

First impression of the NAPA pliers is not exactly great. The pivot pin and nut is not exactly tight and there is little more lateral slop than I like. Also, the bend and hand dressing is a little hacked also.

I plan to use them mainly as hose clamp pliers for limited access. For that, they will probably serve well.

SK 15 piece metric set unused and channellock snap rings both new snagged off ebay.

[amlv20]

Holy sheep ****, my snap on man had a hell of a deal on this. $290 for this 34 PC set.

 

[balane]

Nothing major. Picked up a nice little 8oz Blue Point hammer for $2 and also finally found a four port Craftsman C3 charger for my power tools.

My metabo atuff came today. Added these to compliment the cordless grinder with 4ah batteries
