I feel like a ******* now!

I rather like those clear-yellow handles.... I have two older than I am in a similar color. Who made them?

Great! Thanks. They may soon be in my toolbox, not that I actually need any more screwdrivers.

I don't know the vintage of these ones
. Bigbluegoldie got them in a master set sometime ago. I got all the yellow ones $45 shipped.

They came in a set I picked up about 6 or 7 years ago. Just like the yellow Proto's, but without the vapor blasted tips. I replaced them with some tri-lobe Proto's that I had 2 sets of (and also use at work). I tried to come up with an excuse to keep them, but I didn't have the room. Good screwdrivers, glad to see Jim1987 putting them to use.

I have been holding out on a good deal for an impact driver, finally nailed this set on EBay for $182 a couple weeks ago. I don't know how I have got by in life without one of these up until now. I used it all weekend in the garage, hell it even has enough power to remove lugnuts for tire rotations.

Not bad, unfortunately that's part of the Fluke line that is made in China. It's still a good safe meter, though there are others that are a better value. For what you mention, honestly it's way overkill. Either way it should last you a long long time.Old meter died on me... It was borderline on inconvenient testing 12v systems with a meter that would only read 33.** volts or 356 mv

Yeah, I know. I don't really have any use for their 800 gazillion function automotive meters. I just needed frequency, ohms, diode test, and the ability to do voltage drop testing without doubting what the meter says... Any more in depth than that and I'm plugged in with a laptop watching signals anyway.

If you're insinuating that COO=value those Chinese flukes are actually pretty high quality inside and out.
Thought it would say "Made By Gearwrench"
Do you have a link for those wrenches?

I have one, they are good to very good but I wouldn't call them great. They don't have the typical over engineering and ultra high quality feel I expect from fluke. They still have the price though. In the end, I just believe they are over priced for what they are. Especially with other meters out there like the Brymen BM257S.
They are built by Uni-T to Flukes design and specs. If I was going to choose a Chinese meter maker I'd choose Uni-T. I own several Uni-T meters that are well built, but lack the input protection of the Fluke.
Edit: I just checked prices and it appears they dropped the price on the 115 heavily from a year or so ago (used to be $169-199). It's now a much better value, price is actually a pretty good value now

I like those style of blow guns. They are easy to use in the hand compared to some that feel like two hands are needed!
