Not really. I use them to scrape when I don't want to marre the finish. They're handy for paint touch up work when detailing the car. They're also handy for removing stickers, decals, stick on wheel weights, etc.

I have an OEM brand set of thread chasers that look exactly like that!! One was damaged and AutoZone decided to "damage" out the whole set so snagged it for free dollar's. Has saved me big time!!

Running into a lot more metric stuff on new machines in the plant so finally got a set of 6 point 3/8 along with metric Allen sockets. Had some surprise points to use.

Also got me a side cab for my HF 5 Drawer.

I had no choice on the orange. Been bugging my driver for one for a couple of weeks and today he had two. My co worker grabbed the blue one first. I like orange so it fits.

I didn't own a Milwaukee tool on Thanksgiving day. Everything bought since then. Thanks Garage Journal.

Crackerballer, why did you get several duplicates of the same tool in M12 regular/M12 Fuel variations?

The base versions were part of the $99 deal which I was also able to use a Harbor Freight 20% off coupon on, so I got the two tools, 3 batteries, and bag for $84 out the door. I bought the Fuel Impact/Drill kit with the M18 and returned the M18 so I got like $60 off. Then I got the base Hackzall kit for $77 since the lady honored the HF 20% off and then gave me an additional 10% off since she did it as competitor price match (she did the same thing with the rotary tool). Then I wanted the 3/8" Impact Fuel and the Fuel Hackzall and CPO had the bare tools where you buy two of them together, get two free batteries, free charger, and a free bag.

All told, it costs me about $750 for all of the tools, batteries, and cases you see. I probably could have been a little more targeted and done better with a few M18 combos, but I like having the options and tools. I may sell the base hackzall and base 1/4" impact.

Picked up these palm ratchets, they should come in handy when it comes time to removing plugs in tight spaces next to headers

Also picked up a few of these trays. They are about 2 inchess deep and will come in handy to hold any nuts and bolts when I come to disasemble something

Was impressed with the Taiwan quality of the large set of metric hex keys from autozone I stopped in and picked up the SAE set today

Does that torque wrench have the scale etched on, or cut into the body?

It's etched in.... Really easy to see compared to my Gearwrench

I have Metric and SAE and am very happy with both, just wish the Metric had the nice holder like the SAE

Well I honestly think they are made by two different manufactures being that one has that holder and the other doesn't. They vary in price, the one set is chrome-the other is satin, and one set is a good half inch longer. I'll show comparison pics tomorro

I bought that SAE set a couple of months back (and then promptly quit my job I would have used them at). Haven't had the chance to use them, but after I opened them up, it looks like they're a piece of hex stock machined down to a round rod and glued into the socket piece. Odd design, and curious to see how they hold up.

I remember looking inside the druve end and they actually look like a smaller hex shank on the inside

I used mine on about 500 bolts with a 700 foot pound impact last week. They held up fine.

If that doesn't kill them, nothing will.
