Here are some Pictures of my first "Made in USA" Tools (Channellock & Eklind), and my new Sortimo LS-Boxx with Foam Inserts (Made by Toolbed) for my Facom 440 Wrenches and Gedore Ratchet Socket Set. The Stanley Torx Screwdriver Set is really nice (Made by Bost, Facom).

I still need some additional Modules for the LS-Boxx for the rest of my Tools. So far, i am happy with this solution for Tool Storage.

I LOVE the storage box, looks excellent.

As for me, my Smith welding setup finally came up off of backorder. Series 30 regulators and Toughcut torch and tips. (Thanks to Strouty's suggestion). Already been screwing around for days with it, and LOVE it!

Oh, and you can see the welder I plan on upgrading with a Miller 211 (assuming Zoro comes through with a 30% sale next month).

Glad you got them, definitely better quality than some of the others your were looking at. Hopefully zoro will come through, I too would like the 30% off sale.

Interesting reading Ruger. I've added 'Abandoned America' to my Amazon wishlist.

I'm not usually one to sit down and read a book but I find both of them to be pretty interesting. The author of 'Abandoned America' posts some of his photography on FB if you don't want to buy the book.

Ah, Amazon. :)

The latest Bahco Ergo pliers has some nice features that other brands don't have. What's you initial impression?

I like them. I have both the old school (Made in Sweden) and newer production pliers (Spain and China). The combo pliers on the top middle is made in fact made in China. The Bottom Middle is Sweden, rest is Spain.

The spring design is really unique and innovative, however it feels mushy and is not very strong compared to a traditional style. That is not to imply they are weak and will break; it is simply a preference.

The grips are better than most grips I have held. Bahco is really on top ergonomics on most of their stuff. I like it better than my Knipex stuff.

In terms of cutting performance it is on-par with some other competitors. Uncertain as of right now of how long the edges will hold up. You can compare it with the Snap-on PowerEdge as they are virtually identical.

Not very exciting really since I won't be using them. As of now I haven't decided whether I will unpack them either. The box has been opened but they appear to be in their original packaging still.

That's nice looking...are they all the same size wrenches? And if so what size are they? Just curious.

Some very nice Snap-On and a kick *** beer mug just showed up courtesy of Warmpancakes. How he got the mug to ship full and cold is his secret. Once again sorry for sideways pics.

What size are those snap on wrenches? Can you actually use them?

They match up with a 12mm spanner (or SAE equivalent). I didn't actually measure them though.
Yes they are all the same size. I was a little disappointed with this fact to be honest. I think it would of been much cooler to have a full set of different sizes. They could of made up some BS about how it symbolizes the companies growth over the years or something as well. Haha....

Oh, and I tried very hard to get the pictures to show how they actually look in real life. I think the picture is rather true to the eye with the different colors, even showing what looks like a dirty finish on the open end of the second to the bottom spanner.
