KD Tools CM order.

Wiha slotted chissel drivers and 8mm parallel pin punch. Wera stainless bits and stainless hex key set. For the motorcycle tool bag.

 

[Moltar]

Got the Leatherman Sidekick multi tool. It was priced well on amazon so I decided to throw it in. The quality is actually really nice, my only gripe is that it doesn't have scissors.

If you want scissors go to Home Depot and pick up the Leatherman Wingman. For the past few years they've sold them during the holidays for $20-25 depending on which store you're in. The Wingman is identical to the Sidekick except it has scissors instead of the saw.

Crown Imperial who makes the stubby hex bits??

 

[T_Roze]

My girlfriend and I exchanged Christmas gifts last night for some odd reason. TLL72 to go with the FLL80. Good thing there's not a SLL80 or i'd have to get that too. Zippo for size reference.

I love this ratchet. My favourite for Ford 5.4 exhaust manifolds! Enjoy!

My Zoro CM order.

Whiteside creeper seat. So much better than the ************* Torin it's replacing. Nothing I can do with the old except trash it.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!! My SO guy told me some else makes their seats for them, but wouldn't or couldn't tell me who.

How much was that seat? You probably saved me some money.

I've got the green handled version of that.

Now it's time to retire your breaker bars lol. You're going to love that ratchet man. Best money I ever spent on a single tool hands down.

 

[rocco]

Does this orange thing count as a new tool?

nothing more fun than having a SCUT to play with.

 

[c.schulz]

Hey Rocco, tractors count, yes they do... Mine is 2 years old but sporting a new paint job.

[panknuckshovel]

Made my points pickup this morning.

A new 3/8 Zyklop, my first foreign tool.
3/4 18" breaker, some nut driver sets, both of the damaged nut sets, prybars, ratcheting scredriver, mini torx set and a 12" truck box. Why do they have to put the barcode sticker right on the stamping, worst possible place.

You are correct. Whiteside is the OEM for the Snap on creeper. The reason I got it is because I've sat in the Snap on rebranded one which was the best seat I have ever sat my **** on. The casters are super smooth and you can roll across the whole shop floor squealing like the Geico pig. On the Torin creeper I'd get 2 feet and very ungraciously topple over like a sac or potatoes.


With the Zoro 30% CM discount it came out to less than $100. Zoro is the cheapest place I could find the seat at.

Daddy just got a new helper this weekend and you can't be a good helper in the shop without a set of 120xp flex head ratchets.

Hope you guys can see the picture, first time uploading a pic. Craftsman Industrial deep offsets and some cheap mechanix gloves. The chrome on the wrenchs is really nice.

Look at that ~18" handle next to him. They grow up so fast- in a couple of years he will be turning the ratchet with you. Enjoy, and congratulations!

What's with the Facom angle--through wrenches ? What type of mechanic uses those ? I've worked on a lot of stuff in my life and can't think of a single use for those ?

No clue, what there for but could be handy on some things I guess like setting valves with a poly lock. You used to be able to buy them threw craftsman years ago. Same OEM I think.

Astro Pneumatic. Typical Chinese pliers...not bad for $14 shipped

I only gave $125 for both of these brand new in the box:

Lowes clearance. $4 for the cutters and $0.28 for each utility knife with blades

Husky USA screwdrivers

Craftsman 250pc mechanics set. All USA

2-for1. HF spot blaster, and a Rigid 6hp shop vac with car detailing kit

Those cutters worked like a charm when I redid my fuel system with push-lok fittings. Cut through the fuel hose like butter. Plus I got them for Christmas as a present.

Where did you buy the pliers from for 14?

Agreed I dont understand what the benefit of that tool would be.

 

[GTA Matt]

Mini ductor II. Put off getting one of these for way too long.

 

[Jarhead0408]

Man, I am jealous^^^^ Let us know how you like it!

Yeah I have been waiting for it to go on sale. A co-worker went on the truck and bought the green handled one once I showed him mine. It will be put to good use for sure.

 

[Bunit98]

90zcar nice wrenches. I love the feel of those wrenches

 

[Qualitytools]

Those wrenches look great made in France or the Zchek (sp) republic, I am curious what do you use them for besides accessing nuts on long bolts or so...
Please share

Nice Set!!

I use mine for bleeding brakes, and there great for engine building nice length for snugging stuff down and not over torquing fasteners only my 10mm has the hole for a stud to pass through the rest are solid over the curve I picked mine up second hand for cheap but they've been great

I'd rather close my **** in a car door than wear a headlamp.

Thanks for the reply, I thought they were hollow all the way thru but still very nice, enjoy!

 

[Tronyadorable]

Both of which can be easily done with a regular deep socket.
I aint seeing it.
I use a good ole speed handle for engine assembly.
