Metric tech, what ratchets are those? I’m not sure if I’ve seen those before.

Appear to be the nepros in the box photo and koken in the shot with the pup.

I love the knurling [emoji1786]

It seriously comes in soooo handy. I wish all manufacturers would do this.

First post here but long time lurker! Been upping my tools recently from decent Craftsman, Pittsburgh Pro, etc etc. Lately I’ve been taking advantage of Napa’s deals. The long panel Wrenches are the bees knees and look even a good friend of mine who used to be a Snap On dealer was highly impressed with them.

Nice, but I dislike the wheel size. I have a similar 18 gallon tank and take it to a shop that has a recycled oil furnace, and those little wheels make it difficult to load when full. I’ll most likely replace them.

Definitely small casters, but with this little 8 gallon should be okay. Plus I don’t have an oil disposal so I’ll have to drop it off at advanced auto....lol

That height looks perfect for my Danmar M6! Thanks for sharing.

Is there any way to remove the funnel and neck and seal it off? Or do you need to transfer it into another container for transport.

That’s the lowest it will go and will extend all the way up to 74 inches.
As for the funnel, just pull it off. It came with a set screw but I’m not using it. It sits in the tube about an inch and half. It didn’t come with a top seal if you remove the tube. I’m going to have to look for something to seal it to make it easier to transport to get it dumped.
Edit: or just take the funnel off and leave the tube in.....

Looks much better unboxed.

If Milwaukee doesn't hurry up and release an extended neck cordless ratchet, I might cave. I've had my eye on these for sooo long. Just don't want to have multiple battery systems.

Transom plug might do the trick.

Thanks to you I ran by the local Napa at lunch and snagged the CWLN 21 and 22 mm to thicken up the home box. (Using the current 25% off promo)

Both wrenches felt the same weight as my snap on flank drive and I look forward to using them!

You will def enjoy them. The finish highly impressed me and they have worked flawlessly

This is why I bought these, I wanted cordless ratchets that didn’t look like some goofy looking China made HF junk. I have tons of Milwaukee and will continue to use them, but the ratchets are awesome and I am happy, just not about the price or the fact that I now have two chargers.

Craftsman adjustable pry bars.
Great set at $29.99.

I dump into a 5gal bucket and take that. Fits better behind the pax seat and all.

Here is what I got today. Next week will be a nice haul..got some good stuff on order.

Been needing to step up my flare nut wrench set, so I decided to go with these. Love the fact one end is open, so after you break your fitting loose, you can quickly remove it using the open end vs the flare nut end. 10-20mm, no skips.

 

[G1GRANDEUR]

nice set!! personally dont need full set, but some sizes will come handy.

Are the open ends smooth or FD+?

 

[Strouty]

Smooth and wide so they don't mess up brass.

 

[protegeV]

Nothing prettier than a snapon wrench.
Not much more expensive either

It's been a while since I've posted. I still pick up random tools here and there. Got this recently from the Matco truck. I warrantied out an old 1/4" that wasn't supported any more and selected this as a replacement.

I decided to order the ESD-safe handle for my Xcelite 99 series shanks. Being that it's made in Germany, I assume it's a rebranded Felo or Wiha or something. But it's still not a Xcelite handle that you see every day:

Felo. I have few Xcelite tools. I was a PC repairman many years ago, we used Xcelite a lot.

 

[BigBoreFan]

My first SnapOn purchase. I'm big-time now. Ordered online, no trucks Nazis for me.

I found a 3/8 drive long SnapOn ratchet in the middle of the road. It needed a new handle.

I have a total of 7 pieces of SnapOn, other than this ratchet, I have no clue where any of them came from.

A Fluke 77-IV, this replaces my 1983 Fluke 77 which has gone crazy, needs rebuilt.







Btw it is made in the USA!

Need to chase down some air leaks in the house so bought a thermal imaging camera. A Flir TG-165. My wife says we can go ghost hunting? really? Gonna need lots of beer for that!

Let us know how that works. I've been wanting to do the same thing.

 

[oldgoaly]

It works, take your time and look at the whole area. Something like 6-7' away gives a good sized chunk in detail. I know the walls ****, brick, air gap, tile and plaster. The window seals were the surprise. They (the seals) are going to need replacing, some are 30 years old already others are only 10. The screen is small on the Flir, so looking at the walls of a room will take 10-20 minutes. Looked at the electrical boxes (2 400 amp service) no surprises. Takes time to take down curtains and shades to get a good look at things. So far no ghosts!

Hey, where did you get those? What's the COO? Looking to replace a Craftsman set.

Interested to hear your feedback on that. I've had the Flir One for my iPhone for a while and I've been really happy with it.
