Not really much of a tool but I guess it counts. Found this in an antique store yesterday with my fiancé. Guess I can use this to crack open a non twist beer from time to time

The Calipers are very neat, I don't work on cars for a living but always wanted to get one for those times......

Elora 1/2 inch drive ratchet . A1 customer service from Elora . I had a ratchet I bought new about 1980 it started slipping . I sent an email to customer services asking about a repair kit . They said it was not available due to the age of the ratchet so they sent me this

 

[Horror Business]

Can someone please explain to me what a torque stick is and how it works?

New unused Craftsman/Harbor Freight tools as found in Wales...

Can someone please explain to me what a torque stick is and how it works?

A torque stick is used for limiting the torque transferred from an impact wrench to the attached socket. It works by twisting and then springing back rather than transferring the entire torque. They come in different diameters and colors for different torque ratings.

They are commonly used to quickly tighten wheels in tire shops.

Nice story and nice looking ratchet.

Ruger, where did you get the torque stick? I didn't realize you could get just the shaft extension with no socket. Is it 1" or 3/4"?

[mfrantz90]

8 piece SO carbide burr set


SO Metric 8-21 swivel impact sockets



SO 43 piece thread chasers



SO 16 inch indexable pry bar and SO T handle torx drivers

 

[Strouty]

Is the indexable pry bar USA made? I have some gearwrench ones that work well, but I like the look of that handle.

Yes it is USA made stamped in the ring on the handle just like the ratchets

Finally had to get that pliers wrench from Knipix. Thanks to Zoro, my pliers itch has been scratched, and what pliers order would be complete without some blue handled awesomeness! Not sure what I'll use those nut busters on but since I don't own a pair, they seemed like something one would "need".

the 410's are monster grippers

 

[Strouty]

Knipex makes a similar pair, they are called Raptors, at least I am pretty sure they are.

Yeah, they look tough as hell. I can't wait for my next rusty, rounded or galled nut to show its ugly face!

 

[Jeremy77]

Had to find something to use them on, wife suggested this so I guess we are both happy now!

Thank you.

Picked these up off Craigslist on Monday, $175 for both. They both look brand new

Might want to give this back and get the 48 pc. set ( if you deal w/ alot of metric fasteners )

I work with a decent amount of both I just bought this as an add on to the 78 piece Tap and die set just for when threads aren't totally destroyed

You will Love the Knipex Plier wrench!! I purchased my first one back in almost 10 years ago and found lots of things to use it on. Enjoy the collection as that was the first Knipex that I purchased after finding out it won a design award and was featured in I think (popular Mechanics), I now own several Knipex tools (great German engineering) and they all perform flawlessly

I've got several.. where I grew up we called these "church keys".. don't really know why.. I'll have to google and report back..

The vintage look of days gone by when true recycling meant taking bottles back to the store to be sent to the bottler to be cleaned and refilled.... I wonder if has taken a look at what it takes to melt glass back down vs the cost and energy to simply clean and reuse...? Hummm....

 

[brandon523]

Picked this up this morning. Hopefully it works well.

 

[Strouty]

Practice with it first. I remember the first tools I marked years ago. It looked like a finger panting.

LOL - that's exactly what I was thinking. Going to practice on my Craftsman stuff first before I touch the truck brand tools.

I just received these from Ash (germanhandtools) nws 10" water pump pliers. The quality and finish is great! And Ash was also great to deal with.




Also picked up a new stihl fs56 trimmer but no pics.

+1 for Ash, I have purchased things from him before and was very impressed. He has also helped me find tools that I needed that he does not even sell. Great Guy highly recommend him

Congrats!

I got these in trade for a graphics kit from an RM125 today. The ratchet is a proto and the extension is SO. I'm not sure about the universal swivels but I think I did okay. Anyone know what these swivels are?

Thanks. Are they any good?
