15mm cougar pro reversible ratcheting wrench ordered from amazon for about $7.50. They couldn’t ship because the inventory was 0 but showed 1. Back ordered and I got it today. Also got my blue point 1/4 drive deep 5/8 from snap on store for $6.26 with the tax free shipping.

I'm from Canada. This was a one day event at a local tool show here.

Tekton Metric Reversing Ratcheting Wrenches. They look a tad odd being 6pt compared to others, but I'm sure I can get used to them.

I just got the stubby version a few weeks ago. I actually wanted 6 point personally. I try to avoid 12 point if I can. They are nice wrenches though. I was thinking of swapping out my mismatched set of full size to the set you got.

Wera 1/2 inch Zyklop Ratchet. It’s my test order from amazon.de. Even though it the listing stated it could not be shipped to the US, Amazon shipped it. It took about two weeks to arrive and was just under $50 w/shipping.

Besides locking the angle, what's the difference between this, and a standard roto ratchet?

That and the handle can be more comfortable if your using it in “nut driver” mode.

 

[jmhinkle]

You can also hold the black part as needed because it spins freely of the ratchet. The locking button is also the socket release in nut driver mode. It's the only roto head ratchet I'd ever consider. I hate them.

Finally made the upgrade to Milton V fittings and it really wakes up my air tools. Some new sockets to go with my Astro Nano.

I haven't tried the Wera but I would think that locking is a huge plus. Unfortunately I'm not a fan of the Kraftform handles. I think another difference is that the black part of the handle spins freely. And according to the specs listed at KC Tool, it's made in the Czech Republic, not Taiwan or China.

It does indeed spin free. Forgot about that since it's not a feature I typically use.

I dig the cart. do you happen to know how much weight it’s rated for?

500 pounds. It was $109 at Lowe’s but I used a $30’off $50 coupon. $84 dollars . Wheels are bigger than other carts so it can roll over my yard nice to transport

That black plastic spinny sleeve also allows Wera to not have to finish that shaft of the ratchet. In fact, there is nearly no chrome exposed on that ratchet which makes it much less expensive to produce. The whole thing is far too "busy" to suit me; I like the plain old chrome roto style and now there are several very good ones available at very reasonable prices. Even the new Craftsman roto in 1/4" is really very nice for small money.

been an expensive last few months....thanks to KC Tools having tool of the day sales and specials.... replacing some stolen stuff and upgrades..

New pair of water proof thoroughgoods. only been a month but I absolutely love them.

i've started replacing my 18 year old knipex pliers with some fancy new ones. a Wera Kraftform Kompact multi screwdriver for the HVAC bag. Some mini Knipex pliers wrench and cobras that I didn't have before. I like them minis so much I ordered the 150 and 180mm pliers wrenches too. Picked up a set of Orbis angled nose pliers, as well as a straight and bent pair of knipex snipe nose (needle nose). some new klein journeyman cable cutters to replace the wore out old ones, and thought i'd try out Knipex's mini cable cutters too. haven't had knipex cable cutters, so I thought I'd try those out too. fit and function over the last month seems better than the kleins i'm used to, but time will tell if they last.

Oh yeah, and a "new" reed 2C for the new fabrication table

I picked up one of these https://www.princessauto.com/en/detail/master-ball-joint-service-tool-and-adapter-set/A-p8585416e to change the bushings in the spring eyes on the travel trailer. Best $170 I've spent in a long time. Two done ,six more to do.

 

[BloodySinner]

Paid $500 (CAD) for these guns. Valued at almost $3,000. They're brand new. The mechanic passed away.

Got some harbor freight clamps. The coupons were expiring so I figured no time like the present. $20 for 8 clamps is not too shabby.

I am liking it so far. For whatever reason, the backdrag is less than on my other Snap-on 1/4" dual 80 ratchets, so that's a bonus.

 

[Zengineer]

Just opened it up today. It's a small thing often overlooked (by me) but getting away from rattle cans is very exciting.

Yeah maybe it has to do with the screws on the face of it idk. I feel the same way. I had a 1/4 shorter flex SO ratchet and it has always been finicky, got a newer version of it earlier this year same deal.
