Finally took pics. New power strip and cord wrap for my krsc46. New 1/4 ratchet, brake caliper tool, memory saver, and air hammer shake n break. Also picked up these used Matco 3/8 sockets from the SO man for $60, he tossed in a free hat.

 

[Tuc04]

I just got some Koken stuff direct from Japan. I bought a Z-EAL (Z Series) stubby ratchet 3725ZS and a Z-EAL spark plug socket.

The ratchet is 36 teeth and smooth as butter with very little back drag. It came dry, but I opened it up and added a few drops of RLL.

The socket uses clips to hold the spark plug.

I have previously purchased nut grip sockets and some of the nice knurled extensions. The quality of everything I have is top notch.

 

[jeopardy98]

What ratchet is that?

The craftsman comfort grip one they have for $14.99

What kind of light is that in your first picture?

The Astro 12SL

Yep got this set awhile back and if it is ever in stock again for $120 I'll buya few more sets. For the money I'm just not sure you can beat it.

I agree. I don't think you can beat it at all for that price. This set far exceeded my expectations.

Actually, I figured it out. It's an Astro Pneumatic 12SL. I forgot that I had seem them from Matco at double the price. Found them on Amazon for ~$68 for anyone else that might be interested. They seem pretty sweet, I might have to get one.

Yes they were on Woot deals the other day for $55 shipped. They included the magnetic strip and the hook as well for that price. It is amazingly bright and I think it will get plenty of use.

Wow, that's a hell of a deal. Wish I had of known about it, I would have bought one. After a quick google search, I can't find any other place where it's that low, and of course the Woot deal is over.

 

[jeopardy98]

There was a thread in the hot deals thread about it. I wish I had grabbed another actually.

 

[Qualitytools]

Swung by sears for the first time in a real long time and picked up a few things on sale. Got a couple of magnetic pick up tools, a pocket LED light like EZ Red hawks, and one of those new Craftsman extreme grip ratchets. The ratchet was on sale for $14.99 and after they took off some surprise points, it was a whooping $9.19
Now it's not going to make me give up my Carlyle or Gearwrench ratchets but, for nine bucks and change, why not.
it has a nice 72 tooth action and I'm digging the satin finish. Yes, it hails from Taiwan. For $16 out the door, I was happy

I just picked one up as well. I compared it to the low profile ratchet from H.F and the Craftsman is thinner and has a release on top while the H. F one does not.

John Deere large and small magnetic parts trays.

 

[MARCIOCRM]

It's well built, nothing earth shattering. Will fill a niche when I am fitting pipe and don't want to get dope on my pliers wrench.

Thanks!

[mopar_johnny]

Napa was having a tool trade in deal towards a bunch of Dewalt stuff, so I traded off an old drill and got $25 credit towards this angle grinder.

Picked the Kobalt 0552620 to go with my SOUTHWIRE electrical unit. I would have bought another southwire but the kobalt was 15 bucks less and the only difference is on secondary pouch with flip lid..the Southwire had a devider. .which I need for separate connectors..on the other side I do not..so might as well save myself 15 bucks...

[bahcoswed]

Arrived today! Was like christmas until I tried them The mechanism is not good ,Its rough and very hard! Its so hard on the bigger sizes that its are going to be trouble to get a ratcheting function. When I compared them to my Facom 467 it was horrible. My opinion on 467 is that they are the smoothest and lowest arc swing on the market with 72 tooth design! Stahlwille open ratch 17 was really a disappointment! The satin finish is better than the original german surface and the box end is the thinnest I have seen on a ratcheting wrench, pretty big difference against 467 and they "was" the thinnest before! Smaller sizes works, but miles away from facom's smooth mechanism. I put some lube in the stahlwille, no difference!

Those look really cool, and I've always heard great things about Stahlwille tools, especially they're regular box 14 combo wrenches. So thats disappointing to hear. The design definitely looks unique

 

[fried_daddy]

Here are a couple of items I just picked up!!

Kobalt 3/4 Drive socket set.



Kobalt 300 Piece set I got on sale along with flare nut wrenches and swivels.



Screwdrivers, hex l tool sets. Also have one of the gear-less Kobalt ratchets along with its sockets in the lower right corner.

Yes stahlwille is europe's snap on! (Without the mirror chrome). I have the openbox 14 6-22mm set and openbox 13 6-24mm set! They are so comfortable with the u-shape design! Love the box end on 13 series and how thin,light they are! 14 series is just as comfortable but much longer and not so thin! If a OB 14 spread or snaps, everything does[emoji2] The best with a stahlwille wrench is the superb quality, you can abuse it 3 lifetimes and they look like they just leave the hardware store[emoji106] Back to OR 17: The finish is suberb and really breaths quality! The open end is not the german style and are pretty fat too, but I dont care if the open end is thick on a ratchet wrench because if I need the open end, I probably grab a OB 13,14 instead! The ratcheting function is ok up to 15mm, not as good as facom thou! 16,17,18 and 19mm are worse! My old china **** ratchet wrenches is smoother Maybe they works better after some abuse

 

[Sterff]

Here are a few of my latest items. The hammers are made by Cook: lead and brass.

 

[Silentt]

Bogo gearwrench mid sockets. Tooltopia shipped them in 1 day, very happy

 

[toddacimer]

Picked this up at the local pawn shop for $170. Been looking for a YA700 for 5 years. Super excited to sell my Craftsman 4 ton jack now

 

[Askme42]

Don't know what I'll do with a second dewalt 204 piece socket set but my Sears price matched $120 so had to buy it.

 

[AmishFury]

the $5 in surprise points from the battle of the bears promo was about to expire and i didn't see anything i really wanted... so bottle wrench it is... and it works extremely well

Cornwell WBWMLOHP7ST- 7 Piece Metric Long High Performance Offset Box Wrench Set, 12 Point, 8MM to 22MM

 

[Stooge]

Had to pick up a new pack of the precision screwdrivers since I have a tendency of losing them, and figured I would grab the set with the free pair of pliers. screwdrivers are German, pliers are Vietnamese but seem to be well made, sort of remind me of some gearwrench ones I've handled.

 

[txusa03]

Stoge, you have the link for the wiha bonus pack?

I have the same ones. Screwdrivers are great and the pliers are pretty nice, too.

Txusa - I got mine from amazon.

 

[Stooge]

I've had a few sets of Wihas and still have a set in my desk at work that are yellow and black, for some reason out of all of my other screwdrivers, the precision ones don't stick around too long.

nice and cheap!
