2-ton hoist + load stabilizer

 

[darkzero]

Tap & drill guides. Surprisingly I've never owned any. Well machined, nice engraving & etching, hardened (so they say, I haven't checked), tumbled, made in USA.

I've never heard of Big Gator Tools. Looked them up & looks like these were on Shark Tank. I thought Shark Tank was for new innovative products? And patented? These are nothing new, what am I missing? Whatever, they're nice & I'm happy with them.

 

[RCL]

Been using Big Gator drill guides for a couple of years and really like them.
Quality made in USA.

Just recently started following Homak after I bought a new box from them, long story short right before Christmas they had quite a few giveaways and I entered one, being that I never win **** I thought it was another dud, but as you can see.... got me a bucket organizer, a cantilever style box( very Kennedy esque), screwdriver set and precision set!!

What is that blue point tool?

What is that blue point tool?

I’m gonna venture a guess at a CV boot band tool? Hard to tell from the pic tho

I've got the identical Stanley set, posted a pic. They're also green, was the same price as the Craftsman ones (regular price) & was sold at Lowes. They don't say Tylon on them though.

Stanley ones have yellow tape & chrome clip. Craftsman have white tape & black clips. Not sure if i like the white tape but maybe I'm just not used to them.

Picked up a Fiskars 24"x36" cutting mat for use on my drafting/drawing table.
Under $30.00 at Walmart.

A nice large size that covers the whole 2'x3' glass top of the table. Its 2-color/2-sided with gray on one side and white on the other with rule graduations along all four ends.

More Westling Machine socket trays!

 

[M635_Guy]

My Sunex sockets arrived:

Other than an overly-liberal amount of oil on them and the case that took a few minutes to rectify, these seem awesome

I have that set in SAE, and I love it. Gets used every day working on industrial water transfer pumps.

It indeed is a CV boot band tool.

New to me anyway.
Racine Tool and Machine Co 14" band saw.

Just too cool to pass up!

Love those covers!

Finally got a topside creeper. Fixing the intake manifold on the suv was the last straw. Not sure why I didn’t get one sooner.

Might even lift the other cars so I can use the topside creeper and not have to hunch over anymore.

I still have to figure out how and where to stowe it somewhere. Found my 5 year old on it when I walked into the garage.

 

[Jack84]

Got some Ko-Ken tools.

You're going to love those extensions.

It was time for some new organization items. First on the list, 3 cell Ernst organizer.

Next was 3 Ernst Pliers Racks. I loved having all of my pliers laying flat in a 2in drawer, but I needed more space, so swapped some things around and put the pliers into a 4in drawer using the racks. An added benefit by placing all of the racks against the front of the drawer...I can open the drawer about 12in and see all of my pliers.

Now I need to figure out how to store T-Handles efficiently...

Picked up a “new” air compressor yesterday. This should keep up with my plasma cutter!

I always want one of those when I see them in the shop. With my coming engine swap on a lifted truck I may need to pull the trigger.

I use the 3 cell organizers for pliers and screwdrivers in 2" drawers. I don't have a 4" drawer to spare for pliers, so I can't use the stand up rack.

Could anyone tell me the correct name for this tool? We use it to 'pop' hose clamps. We call it a "popper" but am having trouble finding it online because I don't know the correct name for it.

 

[Fedwrench]

Lisle 82130 two piece flat blade hose pick set. Since I absolutely hate the Snap on Instinct handle, i had to wait a bit for these to come out before buying a set. These have the curved, flatter blade tips to reduce the chance of piercing the hose when removing it from a fitting. Great for those high mileage hose removals.

Scored theses new old stock craftsman professional screw drivers from my buddy rileysan! Almost all of them had their early 2000’s tags on them! I also got one torx and some Phillips but I already put them away! The flat tips are getting used!




Also scored these stubbies from the same time period, also nos! Both the screwdrivers and the wrenches came from a sweet estate sale haul. The wrench set is missing the 1” in case someone has one?

My set is missing the 1" also... I bought them second hand years ago so I don't know if they actually came with one or not...

 

[Mr. Tool]

You got yourself some damn good tools there!

Can't go wrong with Koken tools!

Got some Ko-Ken tools.

Rileysan got 2 sets of these. I saw the 1” but his was missing so he kept it. They do exist

loving this new double sided stubby... 43oz of motivation on one side and a little How You Doin on the other side..

Love KOKEN sockets. Not impressed with their ratchets.

Took me a while to justify to myself it would be worth the shop real estate. Even folded up this topside creeper seems to take up plenty of room.

Thinking it might be helpful for stuff outside of truck underhood work. Like detailing the middle of the hoods and what not.

I might need to buy one now. One hammer to rule them all. At least all of you are making it sound that way.

basically.... guys at work love it and can't wait for them to be put into production. this was a pre-production demo model

Harbor Freight had a special on their Pittsburgh ratchets.
Buy 3 and get 1 free. I couldn't resist.

 

[Tas biker]

Got this from one of the other hot deal treads.

Almost thought I bought the wrong item.....wife even made a comment about it.

The handle works different from other torque wrenches I’ve used. It also slides along with twisting it to adjust your torque setting. The range is actually 30-150 in lbs.
