Gray Tools 30" pry bar. It just squeezes inside my hanging locker
Gray Tools fibre grip 6" vise jaws for my 6" Gray vise
Gray Tools 3/8" 40 tooth acetate handle ratchet
Grip-On locking pliers, 7", 10", 12"
Estwing Ultra hammer

How do you like the pry bar? I was thinking about buying the 24"

^ I absolutely love this thing. My buddy has one that he powder coated purple and I've got a standard finish one :)


Yeah me too! Go get one, because the price tag said $14.99, but it rang up $4.99.

I've seen guys collecting 12mm wrenches in every toolmaker..but it seems every toolmaker produces a bottle opener, so I think I've started my collection of these! :beer:

I haven't had a chance to use this 36" one yet, but I already have 3 of the same model in shorter lengths. They're great. The acetate handle is comfortable and wipes off easily. I love the nickel plated shaft vs the black oxide as it won't rust, and I get condensation over the winter as I heat my garage only when I'm out there.

I bought their 3 piece set no. 73903 thinking that would be all I'd need, but the 13" bar is too short for most of the times I've needed a pry bar, and I was skunked a couple of times with the 24" bar. Thankfully I can just fit the 36" bar into my side locker.

We just got a mac truck and I've been wanting this 3/8" Palm ratchet for awhile to take the fans off of Maxxforce 13's makes life so much easier. So now I have a Mac tool in my box.

I was going to post these last month but anyway. The portable miller welding table [ 30FX ] is the best I have seen its got a steel plate top and is extremely sturdy. The welder is a Thunderbolt XL 225/150 AC/DC.

Yeah they really are. And my long 3/8 air ratchet doesn't fit, and I wasn't going to pay 250 for the stubby IR. But this little gem makes doing a fan clutch a fast job. And we
Do tons of them down here.

Picked all this up the other weekend. You can never have enough ratchets.

Today I updated my air tools with these Milton V-Series Hi-Flo Couplers and Plugs.

As you can see, they're quite an improvement over my older plugs.

Today I received my SK 1947 21 Piece 1/2-Inch Drive 6 Point 10-Millimeter to 32-Millimeter Deep Socket Set
DSC00006.JPG

Shallow broaching, some Snap On folks think this is worth paying 3 or 4 times as much for and it really don't matter to me.

To many sockets for a Hansen tray so some are off to the side.

All sockets look fantastic with great chrome and no scratches like I had seen in another post. My only complaint with SK sockets is those worthless metal rails, I wish they would switch to the plastic VIM like so many others use.

Just a lil **** from lunch time.
Sockets are from local hardware. Jonnesway.. 2 GBMFH from Stanley ( 32 and a 40---24 on order)to protect my lil Stanley 12oz. Both for about $15. Cheap enough. The Hazet stuff was on my P.O. box.
Ampro 18 ga. nibbler and Mil die grinder(both used) from a couple weeks ago.Kind of halfass but does OK for $80.It plows through 18 like it says it will, but leaves a rough edge. The grinder is a typical Dremel type. Nothing fancy.
Going to buy a Milwaukee 10 ga. Nibbler ($900) if I win this upcoming contract.
There's a ton of curves in 16 ga SS and the plasma aint gonna get it for that.

OH well I guess this crappy software doesn't like Flikr.
Why doesn't the owner do what they do on the hot pepper forum and charge a few $ a month for a membership and host fotos here ??? It's not 2005 any more. Bandwidth is free.

OK Photobucket works.

I like that ratchet, but in a pro star, the radiator is far enough away i always slid my dewalt cordless impact in between the fan blades. No air hose in the way, and just as effective.

I have been eye balling those for a wile....

Have you used them yet?
What do you think?

How much did you spend ?

They work great, makes rethreading anything soo much quicker and easier, been using coworker's tap socket on my taps for a while and finally got myself a set. Ill double check tmr on the price as I left the receipt at work
