I'm guessing the way the Carlyle ratchet looks exactly like Snap-On also, they are trying to jump on their bandwagon.

 

[FOCUS.FREAK]

Looks nothing like snap on ratchet.

Got my trust cook green hammers!! Love these things. Amazing fit and finish. Super fast shipping and a great price!! Couldn't be happier.

Pair of Knipex nippers.

 

[Keelhauled]

Picked up some new screwdrivers after I broke another of my Kobalts.

These wrenches caught my eye. My truck toolbox is lacking in ratcheting wrenches.

All made in USA.

 

[morgantm]

Holy big pictures!

 

[Keelhauled]

Yeah sorry bout that, I guess it just pulls it straight from the image host? I don't know how to make them smaller on this end.

 

[cliftonbros89]

My recent additions....

What's the part number on the screwdriver?

 

[cliftonbros89]

For when you really want to crack sockets or shear the 1/2" drive.

Agreed!

 

[toolmutt]

I took advantage of Enco's recent sale plus coupon code. Wiha torx drivers and Proto long hex bit sockets.

After reading that hilarious thread regarding the bit orientation on Williams drivers I went ahead and splashed out on a set



I have been needing a set of offset double box metric forever and Dennis Schmidt just happened to have one set in stock





That uncomfortable empty space in the metric drawer is now full. I feel oddly complete. Christened the 14mm already on a particularly awkward wheel cylinder mount on a late 50's Mercedes. I fought with one side for 40 minutes to get it off, Fedex showed up with the 75 deg offset wrenches and the other side was apart in seconds. I LOVE having the correct tool for a job.

I also got a couple of Proto prybars (top two) to compliment the Proto pry....uh....screwdriver I got from HJE last year.

I didn't know Proto made pry bars like that. I may have to look into those.

If you don't mind me asking, where did you find the wrench set?

New crimpers and jacket.

 

[JKady]

My latest, Greenerd No. 2 (2 ton) , picked it up for a song this morning, in doing some research it seems these little buggers are pretty expensive new. Don't mind the bench, it's getting re-done soon enough.

 

[kunkernator]

New crimpers have a hole in the grips?

 

[Brownsfan]

You will like those crimpers. They are Thomas &Betts rebrands. Just with the matco soft handle (which I hate but doesn't effect the performance ) . I have the Thomas and Betts set just like that for 13 years and the cutters are starting to get dull but the crimping part is still the best I have. I would be really upset if I ever lost them

 

[K-Dog]

VW sends out their decklids without the tag nuts so I needed a nutset tool to put in the nutters.

Now of course when I open a new box Moomoo has to come and investigate.

They got torn in shipping according to my driver. Got a discount because of it.

 

[jlenander]

That is the funniest thing I have seen in days!
Curiously, my wife didn't find it nearly as funny...

Good deal, can't really complain about that!

[Wamsutta]

Stopped by harbor freight and picked up some stubby wrenches and a 3/8 torque wrench. I figured I would give it a shot.

What camera did you use to take that picture?

Dear K-Dog, Moomoo is not a dog...

My new favorite ratchet.

Keelhauled,

Before uploading your tool pictures to the image hosting website, download and use a program called "Irfanview". Open a picture, go to the "Image" menu, and select "Resize/Resample...". Then, under "Set new size", enter "620" for the "Width". Lastly, go under the "File" menu and select "Save as...".

Besides shrinking the image size, the image's file size will be reduced as well.

Not new, but new to me. The junk one I've been using from HF is trying to give up the ghost. This block was at a local flea market. It wasn't a fantastic bargain, but I don't mind too much given the overall condition. It doesn't need much, maybe a wipe-down with windex. Both wheels are C-man, not sure if they're original.

 

[firworks]

Got my Buddy Blaster and Model 3 from Trusty Cook!

I sure wish I had these on a few projects in the past.

 

[Sam'sAutoParts]

New to me, at least, from eBay, been wanting on of these for a while. SK tuff1 swivel head.

 

[Chadwilliam1]

Nice sk ratchet.

 

[Bobcat753]

Christmas came early for me! Dewalt Deep Cut Bandsaw. My cat even approves this one

 

[priceman1414]

SK day order - some new semi deep and deep sockets and other misc stuff. See SK day thread for full list.

HD took this deal off the website last week while I was making up my mind about it. It was in my cart, and I got an alert in the HD app letting me know that the item is no longer available for sale. I clicked the item link and it said "Unable to fetch product information" and no amount of searching or hyperlinking could get it to show up on their website again.

I was pretty bummed because I really couldn't justify the cost otherwise. I've been wanting that stand for a while now, but $800 for both is a bit much considering how many other tools I've been buying this month. I really need to upgrade my miter saw ASAP and I noticed the "Checkout" button was still in the cart, so on a whim I tried anyway...

Glad I did!!



The first and only miter saw I have owned up to this point has been a Craftsman Professional 12" dual compound bevel (non-slider) that I have been generally happy with, especially considering the price I paid for it about 10 years ago. I wouldn't say that it's all that accurate as it has proven difficult to produce repetitive cuts consistently, but it's been good enough for framing, building fences around my property, and rebuilding my old shed. I am restoring my 200+ year-old house, and I have recently moved into more serious projects. I quickly discovered that I am not very pleased with its performance on trim and other detailed cuts where I expect precision. I am currently finishing up a 40' x 8' front porch that was torn down to the 100-year-old timbers and rebuilt. I am working on the ceiling and realized that a better saw was in order to get this finished before winter is in full swing.

I could wait until work tomorrow (I work almost right across the street from my local HD) but my wife isn't home yet, so I'm getting in my truck right now to go pick it up.

 

[Viggen337]

I also picked these up the other day. You can never have too many sawhorses!



The Dewalt ones are pretty nice, and they were actually a few dollars cheaper at HD than the identical Stanleys that I was eying at Lowe's. I did grab those two sets of Blue Hawk sawhorses at Lowe's while they were on sale. They were $25 a pair, down from $40. Too good to pass up, and I needed a bunch to set up a painting area in the back of the house for my wife to prime our tongue and groove ceiling boards before I install them.

I've gone through a couple of sets of the cheap ones. The plastic shelf thing doesn't co operate after awhile. Next time I'm building the stackable ones out of plywood and 2 by's

Iphone 6



Just used plenty of light to keep the auto ISO nice and low.
