Show your new tool arrivals

[Moose-LandTran]

I don't know if it is pure ignorance or maybe just the normal feeling GJ brings. I forget you guys are so far away, seems like you are here hanging out in the shop with me all the time. Wish some of you guys lived closer, there are a few that I wish lived further away, but not too many.

3,500+ miles away and 5+ hours ahead here in Rainland!

Price? Because that looks like the import set, I think even HF sell.

pro-point sells it too. Bought it on sale for 35 bucks.

This particular one is the Matco BCW18.

I think you are right it looks basically identical to the other sets. So do the Astro Pneumatic 78618 and Sunex 3930.

I bought the Matco set used online and paid $55 shipped.

Got this the other day. Didnt Really need it but it was a good deal. Figured Id throw it in the back of the truck.

Oh and before I forget about it.... I got this little too.

I have several gearwrench sets. I really like the 120xp ratchets.

gives me a warm fuzzy feeling that tekton didn't feel the need to put their name on the swivel joint

Good to know. I didn't have a 1/2 drive set for the house and figured it would be good for doing routine maintenance on the Cummins.

Picked up the stand from harbor freight the other day for my block grinder.

Trip to Princess today for a few things. Ended up with a paint scraper, snap-ring plier set (quality is ok, should be suitable for the projects I need them for), magnetic dishes for parts, sanding/wire wheel/wire cup set, 4" wire wheel, hook and pick set (cheapy) and a pair of plastic racks for my stubby set. Good haul, nothing too picture worthy though.

Of course. I live in the future.

Craigslist score tonight - Snap On PIT120 impact driver set for $50. I didn't even haggle.

 

[Supe]

Is that impact set Taiwan manufactured?

You kinda ****!

 

[MattVette89]

Well the guy threw in 10 rolls of new electrical tape to sweeten the deal.....lol. Actually a really nice guy - knew what it was worth and just trying to clean the garage. Hence, the free electrical tape.

 

[AmishFury]

yes


words because yes is too short a message

[jeopardy98]

So these are new to me and nothing special but I picked up this super cheap-o tool cart with a few decent sockets and wrenches. The guy threw in the jack stands and the cheap jack. I got the whole setup for $45 so I thought it was pretty good. Lots of Wright wrenches and sockets and a few Kal wrenches and sockets. A mix of Craftsman, and a few taiwan made things and something called ES tools that is made in the USA.

I don't know much about it but it was mostly USA stuff so I grabbed it.

 

[nanofrog]

Bunch of stuff I've not photographed since Jan., but here's a recent one, and another on the way.

Belzer 2658E (cut & bend stand-off cutter).

CK Tools 3497 (straight stand-off cutter; rebranded Schmitz).

 

[txvwnut]

90 bucks off eBay with 13 shipping came with a Matco fine tooth ratchet. The only socket that looks like it been used is the half inch shallow. I was surprised when I opened it and found the metric sockets went to 15mm.

New Snap On 1/2 drive ratchet, and one of the elusive 95th anniversary SO catalogs.

 

[PC PaiN]

We have been using one of these Lithium ion jump boxes around the shop and have been really impressed with it so I added one to my personal collection. We have jumped off everything from motorcycles to trucks.



Have been waiting this for a good while and finally found a store with it marked down to $90

Mmmm nice ratchet, 45 teeth keeping it simple.

 

[rockinacummins]

Not much. Had a $10 gift card to blow at Sears.

 

[OHMS LAW]

I didn't know the new catalogue counts as a new tool. In that case I've had it for a month already.

 

[Ruger_556]

Yup, a little light grease in the head it is the smoothest ratchet you'll ever use...

 

[tank4114]

[MattVette89]

oh and a new box [/IMG]


Merb

Is it ironic that you bought a toolbox branded "US PRO" in England?

How it the quality of it?

 

[merbie]

Same box as the U.S. General 44 I'm pretty impressed with it, seems solid just smells funky, I love the finish

Got on the debt truck to make my payment and couldn't get out without picking up something.
