This Swiss Tool X Plus Ratchet arrived today . . .
Not finish flaws but reflections in the high polish chrome that I wasn't going to get rid of without using a lighting tent and I wasn't going to set that up with all the lights required for it. ;-)



It will become one of the go-to tools around the house for the quick and dirty, along with carry on occasions when I might need more than just the Woodsman or Champion SAK but still confined to light duty smaller things. About the size I expected and a tad heavier (that's OK). So far I'm impressed.

Sears had this on sale had points to use and needed a small impact so bit the bullet and grabbed one.

You'll like it. It's my go to for regular work over my 18V DeWalt stuff. Just so much lighter and easier to deal with. Despite what some may think - you CAN have too much torque. I have a lot of Nextec stuff - none of it has let me down. I have even more DeWalt stuff. It gets used less often.

Something cheesy and cheap from Woot.

Nice Mayhew 28680 (AKA Snap On SHCP1A or Matco #HCPF90) hose clamp pliers. I luv mine a hundred times more than the Astro set they replaced.

What's that laying on top of them?

Is Mayhew manufacturing the pliers for the other two?

 

[WWheeler]

Is Mayhew manufacturing the pliers for the other two?

Yes, Mayhew is the OEM for both the Snap On and the Matco. Mayhew 28680/Snap On SHCP1A/Matco HCPF90 are all the exact same tool. I don't believe it's still in SO's current catalog though.

Lisle hood prop rod

Thanks.

 

[Fedwrench]

Is Mayhew manufacturing the pliers for the other two?

Yes. Mayhew hose clamp pliers have been rebadged as truck brands since they debuted. Astro too for that matter.

I'm probably going to replace the coolant expansion tank on my 911 this next weekend. A 15 minute ordeal on most cars; about a 1.5-2hr task on a 911. Looking for a good set of hose clamp pliers to pick up. Looks like I'm going with the Mayhews!

He's talking about the flex head Allen's with the swivel joint

 

[02Xterra]

Ordered a few things from Cripe.. I've been eying the 1/2" Gearwrench USA swivels for a while so I finally bought them. The 1/2" Armstrong ratchet was the only one I didn't have.. and also a SK 19mm from the socket of the month

There swivel is very stout, and flexes freely. The pivot is an adjustable screw. They are really handy!

I've wanted a set of 3/8" impact swivels for a while...finally found a good deal on eBay for full sets of each. Matco ADV.

 

[Rusty_d]

$17 bucks at menards. I’ve been wanting to try a Gearwrench ratchet.

This Titan pliers set arrived yesterday. They're smaller pliers, but that's what I wanted for smaller electrical and electronics use. I've got bigger and beefier already if I need it, but you can't use them very easily on small electronics.

Grips TPR. They're not soft, squishy, or very pliable, which I prefer. Extends nearly to the pivot on all but the slip joint which it cannot without interfering with the pivot, and I like that as well as it allows choking up on them easier. I don't trust any stuff on the handles like this to provide protection from electric shock. I've worked on stuff over 1kV and been tossed across a room by 750 Volts. Some guys will routinely work hot. I don't unless absolutely required for the task at hand, and removing power being inconvenient doesn't qualify for that. The 750 event was neutralizing a transmitter final, which must be done at full power and key down (transmitting RF).

Can't say they're high precision tools like Knipex, but for what I'm going to do with them, their precision suffices, they'll do the job on low torque tasks without bending or breaking, and the price was excellent. Cannot justify spending money on overkill.

This is what $100 would buy you at Sears. Of course I didn't pay that much thanks to warranty exchanges, I'm in at about $5.......
