Nothing major. Picked up a nice little 8oz Blue Point hammer for $2

Great deal. It looks really nice. Was that a garage sale or something?

Thanks. A little 2nd hand shop put an ad in Craig's List for a vise. I went to look at it and she showed me Vise Grips. Not really what I was expecting so I passed but looked on their tool shelf. I had to remove some rust from the head and sanded/stained/clear-coated the handle. Turned out nice and it's a keeper so I'm glad I went.

Just got myself this awesome socket set, wanted a 1/2 drive set but did not have the cash to go out and buy a quality new one. Picked up this awesome old Britool set. It is a mixed set one half Whitworth and the other half SAE

Nice, guess that is the good old door closed, window open saying. Vise grip = vise O well, really nice hammer for $2, heck you can't even find a handle for that these days. What did you use to clear the handle with?

 

[balane]

Just some Rustoleum clear gloss laquer. It will be a light duty brad hammer so I imagine it will hold up for me.

I'm psyched.i just got these for 47 bucks new.

I've been needing these for awhile.

 

[canuckian]

Snappy guy got me again today...CT8810O (gave me what I paid for the 4410 on trade), SAE nut drivers(on sale) and the 6 & 7mm ratcheting reversible wrenches (free!). Grabbed a couple wrench racks as well that didn't make it into the picture.
Also received a Fluke 113 meter in the mail that member Jeff Moss was kind enough to grab at his local Lowes (IIRC) for me when they were clearing them out. Thanks again Jeff!

 

[upgrading]

The Snap-on nut drivers are nice and colorful.

Well isn't that the 1st feature you look for in a set of nut drivers? One thing I really like about my craftsman set is the grey = metric clear = SAE. Can tell real quick which one I have in my hand.

Where'd you source that set from? We're the batteries free? Discounted?

Sae is colored that way for a reason something about electrical code

Picked up the harbor freight low profile jack. Went to use a 20% off coupon to realize I can't use it on a jack

Good thing the cashier liked me. She went in manually and took $28 off my tab.

What do you think of the jack so far? Ive been looking for one for one of my trucks when i cant fit one of my regular jacks. Reviews look pretty good on them but i dont know anyone with one to go try it

 

[Bryanthegreat]

I only used mine a couple of times and had it about 4 months. So far I love it.

 

[nmcqueen469]

Picked this up today at the local hardware store.

 

[ihredo4]

nmc you will love that vac. Other than losing that little plug cup on the bottom there mine has been great.

It looks like the location of the hose bib will remedy the kinking issues that some of their earlier vacuums had.

 

[Chris83]

Picked up a few things the other day from princess auto and off the snap on truck

Got both of these for $35

And the screwdriver and plier set from snap on

I've been completely satisfied with mine as well.

I haven't used it yet. My initial impressions are great. Looks and feels very sturdy. Has a quick pump and lifts 24"

It's a heavy sob compared to my craftsman aluminum jack. They have another model that's got an 1/8" higher cradle height than this which is lighter but it's reach is about 6-7" shorter.

My car is pretty low so I wanted the longest lowest reach possible

 

[AndrewH]

Just picked these up off CL from a guy for $180, he was like a Snap On dealer driving a car, going to be checking out the rest of his stash, he had about 5 of the SL80A and 3 or 4 of the F80 lol.

 

[Van Steele]

Mayhew hose picks and Habero (Gedore) chisels

[HighPlainsWrencher]

These are on clearance right now at my local Menards for 89 dollars and change. I was in the market for a driver and compared them all to Snap On's CTS661 model which is what I wanted off the truck. The Bosch won out on everything, plus it has normal controls on it. I guess now I will see if it holds up as long as some of the other SO's in the shop.

 

[priceman1414]

Some stuff from Menards - 11mm & 19mm deep (needed a 3/4 deep, but they didn't have a 'peg' for 3/4 deep) 3/8 drive sockets, and a pair of Stanley pliers marked down to $2.

 

[toddacimer]

Hopefully the saw blades are made of USA material and the plastic case is made elsewhere and not the other way around

Ideal Cable Cutter from Cripes. USA

nice pick, i've got two of them and they are great for working with twisted pair cable. i picked up a new klein curve cutter a while back which is a little bit more sophisticated but i still can't bring myself to part with my old ideals. i just use whichever one is in easiest reach at any given time.

a few more dies for my crimpmaster arrived yesterday. one for crimping F-connectors on coax for CATV, another for crimping the little pins used in D-sub connectors. i'm looking forward to finally being able to dump the natty old rat shack tool i've kept around for that purpose for so long!

 

[03protege]

And the screwdriver and plier set from snap on

Man I want the Green instinct screwdrivers, pliers, and hard handle scrapers sooo bad but cannot justify them.

 

[SatisTraction]

the ratchet was a birthday present from my wife. she was worried about the price of shipping it and was unpleasantly shocked when she saw the size of my new "tool"

 

[katotter]

So I got a Kreg master jig system, FOR FREE. Now I just need to find out how this thing works.

Really been wanting one of these, unfortunately the price never fluctuates on them.

If I did not get a free one I would not own one. R2100 here, that is $235 about. A lot of cash I'd say.
