Just picked up this hammer from HD. Somehow had lost/misplaced my old Stanley Fatmax, which is used as my go to all-purpose, bang the heck out of anything hammer. Wanted all steel, rip (straight) claw. While most folks use an Estwing or Vaughn for this purpose, I don't like the feel of them. I'm not a DeWalt fan (childhood memories), but the the 20 oz, NON-mig welded hammmer felt great, particularly the small hooked end on the handle. I tend to hold the hammer way down on the end and this hook keeps my hand from slipping. I also wanted the side nail puller, though I've not had one before. Did not go with a milled (checkered) striking surface because the hammer will be used for more finish work as well. The only downside is that the shape of the head makes hitting nails with the side of the hammer, as when in a tight area, impossible. Oh well.

Did not like the feel of the all-steel Hart as the handle was too fat. Stilletto and Dead-on were too expensive, no need for titanium and all that other fancy stuff.

So until the end of last week or maybe even this weekend I had never heard of Harry J Epstein Company, and it may have been a "good'' thing. I saw the Epstein's day 2017 thread, and decided to check them out. I couldn't resist putting in an order.

I missed the comments to request box art, but I am still quite pleased. I got the box opened up...

Got a small Craftsman USA punch set. Did I need them..... No, but for 7 bucks I felt like I couldn't go wrong picking them up.

Got some more drum brake tools. I have never heard of the brand Wilde, but again it's made in the USA so once again worth giving them a shot especially at 9 bucks for all of them.

Next out of the box were some Crescent flush cuts. Once again prices too good to not stock up. I got all three of them for less than my one pair I bought from SnapOn. I'm not sure how well they will hold up, but they are only used for cutting plastic. As long as I can keep them out of my dad and brother's hands for the wrong uses hopefully they will work for a long time.

I will probably never actually put a tire changer and balancer in my shop. It's a bit on the small side for that, and I doubt I will ever upgrade, but I decided to pick up a set of wheel weight pliers.

I also picked up an assortment of bit sets. I have a set of the ones in the back. I was able to keep it stocked for a long time, but at this point bits have been lost or broken. I saw these two different sets for a good deal, and decided might as well have my bit needs stocked up on for awhile.

I seldom use a chalk line, but they had these on clearance for 75 cents a piece. I will probably give my dad and brother a bottle, and keep the rest stored away. Shouldn't need chalk anytime soon.

Also picked up two bags of 2lbs scrap leather pieces. Not really sure where I will use them, but figured can't hurt to have a little stashed away. Just in case.

All told I am in for $120.99 after shipping. I felt like a made out like a bandit. I just searched through their clearance stuff. I will for sure be back for Epstein's day 2017 as well.

That's a sick cordless tool station. Any info. on it?

12 pc metric S-K X-Frames from HJE. Finally got them after 2 years since they were introduced and love 'em so far.

Found it! Thanks for the quick reply on that RIP. It's the perfect weekend to go pick one up too, at least I'll have somewhat of an excuse when the old lady ask what I bought this time.

If I had the wall space I would have one. That is a nice layout.

 

[ecotec]

A local industrial tool store on 8 Mile has been selling these sets for $22 for about a month.

Their website says $39, but they list them on Craigslist for $22.

I had to stop by my mom's today, and it was only 2 miles away...

 

[ecotec]

Oh, it is SK 1/4" drive metric deep.

 

[dutchgray]

I have on of those SK 1/4" deep sets, I bought it on ebay as NOS, of course being SK it had to be missing a size with a double of another. $22 is not a bad price.

I will look it over tomorrow...

They had 50 sets according to Craigslist. I thought it was a pretty good deal.

[PelicanPines]

A second Fuel Impact driver is on it's way... I like having two of certain tools. I also got a case of polishing pads and fabricated a 3" roloc backer pad to fit the polisher. Also not shown is a box of assorted saw blades for the Hawkzall

 

[T_Roze]

I guess it's kinda a new tool! Champion Inverter cover for my three year old inverter.

Got it for free from Champion support. I pulled my generator out last weekend, planning on test running it prior to needing it this coming up weekend. Long story short, I turned the fuel on and fuel was pouring out of the carb. I figured the float was stuck. Jumped on the CPE website, and they had a great write up on this exact issue. I already knew what I was doing, but the write up made it that much easier.

I emailed Champion, just to say thanks for the great website/support they provide, and to inquire about a cover for my generator. They sent one out to me for free, just because.

Big thanks to them, I love a company with real customer support! Not to mention a great product!

How do you rate it? Is that like an entry level camera or is it a replacement line for them?

Apparently they have a new SO composite 1/2" impact, MG850. We'll give it a go and see how it does!

 

[sgs236]

I was looking for a deal on a new 1/2" impact wrench a couple of months ago on Ebay and managed to get this Chicago Pneumatic CP7749-1 for 156 dollars shipped. So far, I have only used it to rotate tires on two cars, but I really like it. I had forgot that I setup a search for any Proto J150WP that was less than two hundred on Ebay until I got an email reminder that one had come up for sale. I didn't really need it, but I couldn't pass up the J150W-C for 118 shipped. I think I'm set for 1/2" impacts for quite a while.

Got a little project involving the upgrading of the sound system in my wife's car. I told her I'd need to get a few tools to do the job properly, so I ordered the collection below from four different Chinese eBay suppliers on the same day in the last week of March. They've been arriving in my mail box at irregular intervals over the past 4 weeks.



From left to right:

• 2 piece door card removal tool (manual pry + pliers type) - CAD$17.50 delivered
  
• Stainless steel pry bar - CAD$3 delivered
  
• 7 piece non-marring pry bar set - CAD$9.50 delivered
  
• 38 piece Car Stereo Release Kit - CAD$18 delivered

Turns out that the tools I already had were fine for doing the work as long as I was careful and I didn't need a single one of the new tools do do the installation. Even extracting the JVC stereo from the donor vehicle was achieved using a pair of stainless steel cable ties to release the locking mechanism ... but having the right tools will make the next job much easier.

May order a few more sets of the non-marring pry bars, as they'll be ideal for getting into domestic electronics and computer equipment that uses "clip together" cases. They'll be handy additions to the collection of plastic ID card blanks and guitar picks that I have been using to open the cases.

Picked up these Channellock snap ring pliers the other day. Also found some blades on sale, hoped they would fit my air saw too.

Nextdoor is great!!!

 

[Todd.Brock]

I agree ! It was so random it popped up. No one posts tools. I sold my mom's Honda CRV in about 4 hours last week on next Door.

 

[PelicanPines]

Bought a 2nd Fuel Milwaukee impact driver... spare battery... and bag...
