Broke my Dewalt bit extension so I thought I'd try out what Milwaukee has. Also decided to pic up this ratcheting driver. I like the idea of using 3.5" bits, and I'm going to see if there are a couple of specific ones I can find in order to make this my main driver... plus FREE bottle opener.

Nice! I need to get the 3/16 as well. Much easier to plug weld.

5/16-8mm is better as it allows better penetration, you need to crank the heat up when plug welding 3/16 i have witnessed to many failed welds due to improper penetration. Be careful!

Got this tree fiddy off at harbor fright. 3/8 to 1 9/16. Smaller set will come home to other box. Big metric set coming soon.

 

[merbie]

I'd hang on to those if I was you, pretty sure those are the old ideal made crimpers, one of, if not the best pliers type crimper IMHO.

I already have these ones so I don't really have a need for the new ones

Great tool to have. It definitely speeds up the process of pushing pistons back.

those work good for crimping small stuff like red or blue connectors but if you go up to anything bigger like the yellow ones they dont have enough leverage to do it properly. i have about 3 of each because i get them at good prices

 

[amlv20]

Got this set of torx that lists for $336 on snappys site off the new driver for $129.99 special.ive been wanting it for ever and at that price couldn't say no....

I have both as well. The bigger ones crimp much better and easier IMHO. And the cutter is fantastic. I would keep both because they are different enough to warrant having both. If you have any time where you are doing multiple crimps in a row the 29cp is a much better choice. And these are Snap On made. The older Snap On and Blue Point branded ones were Ideal made. I have an old angle head set( Blue Point ) made by Ideal. Really nice cripmers

I agree, I have both and I use the larger pair all the time.

New yard crane (well new to me).
15 ton Pettibone.

I've got a pair of Pettibone axles set aside for a "monster" project. Love those cranes!

Been wanting to try a flank drive type socket but couldn't stomach the snap on price as I'm just a diy'er. Wera metric sockets.

 

[eyeballengineer]

Cable went out a few nights ago. Spent some time on Amazon 70% tools section. All nine sockets for $54 and change. Williams are Taiwan and have slop in the pins but worth the $4.50 each I guess.

Virtually all sockets now are 'flank drive' type sockets, so you should be good to go with any major brand.

Those look really nice!

[lugnut71]

okay 97 nismo, how did u get the yellow minis?

 

[lugnut71]

Did you buy them with the full size screwdrivers and got a mini tray for them? My dealer does sell them individually but can only get three of them, the large flat is not available he says.

 

[97nismo]

....bought tray on eBay then bought the flat yellow set that included the 2 minis, then bought 2 Phillips from snap on

1/2" wobble extension

 

[bsaint]

Digital temp probe is nice and this puller is HEAVY duty compared to the OTC one.

I've never used a wobble extension - you like it? Do you use it more/less often than a standard?

I only use wobble extensions. They're fantastic.

That slidehammer set is the second thing I ever bought from snap on. 13 years and going strong

Come on man, play fair! Nice. I am always looking for one of those small ones at DRMO that the military uses.

Thanks. I might have to pick one up to try it.

 

[Sask dude]

Some princess auto sales. Didn't need another 3/8 ratchet. But....... Who couldn't use a 8th one haha. I'm curious if I will like the 1/4 stubby flex head

 

[Brians VWss]

I had a 10.00 off 35.00 at my local ACE from my rewards. I have always wanted a long flex 1/2. I picked up the Craftsman 16 in long flex. I figured 25.00 out the door was not bad. Now I think I have my 1/2 drives covered

I can't wait for it to be delivered. It's a little rough but it will make life so much easier. My current yard crane often needs more work then the crane I'm repairing.

I have a friend that picked up one of the military rigs for 3K and it was like brand new condition...he uses it instead of a gantry for his business.

Feel free to post more pictures if you have them.

I wish I only paid 3k for this one. These cranes aren't very common here in Canada. I will post more photos when it shows up.

 

[crbnfbr]

It's nothing special but I only had tamper resistant Torx screwdrivers, and the chiseldrivers were a $1 more than the 300 series. Plus, these are my first Wera's and I wanted to see how comfortable they are.

Dewalt 10 amp 4 1/2" grinder

 

[CarsonConcepts]

Been on a bit of a buying spree lately. Have a few projects coming up that I wanted a few upgrades for.

Picked up a HF 50' Hose reel and put a Goodyear hose on it and used a ZillaWhip for the lead-in (Both on sale at Tractor Supply). Coiled up the stock hose to use as an extension if I need it. Have $87 total into it.

USA made Husky 50-250 lb.ft Torque wrench. New small Ryobi Jobsite Radio with Bluetooth, aux and USB charging port. Good sound for the size. Gladiator Clean-Up Station (was on-sale and had points to burn at Sears, cost $0.07 out of pocket). Also picked a pair of HF Aluminum 3Ton Jack Stands. Almost creepy how light they are.

Still have a 4pc. Gearwrench Flex 120XP Ratchet set and QuadBox Wrench coming from Trident Supply that should be here tomorrow.

I like hose reels, or I took the controller and filter for my compressor

Where did you get that radio at ?

I am having trouble finding it other than at Ryobi's site.

 

[CarsonConcepts]

I got it at Home Depot. They are just starting to stock the new versions. I actually had to find mine in the over head as they showed stock but did not have a shelf spot for them yet. Model# P742 / Store Sku: 1001220544

OK.
Good to know.
I will be looking for it.
Seems a nice price.

Went on a spending spree today. I received a $500 scholarship for tools at Mckittrick Hardware in Lowell. The prices weren't great (msrp mostly) but it was all free!

 

[upgrading]

Free is good.
