Nice! what's the part number on that?

I don't think I've ever seen anything like that looking new, only beat to **** in the corner of a factory floor after decades of abuse!

The purple truck dropped off a few things today:

Gearwrench 81253T 2 Piece compact head 3/8 drive 90 tooth ratchet set. It's not exactly a 3/8 drive in a 1/4 drive body but it's close.
Knipex 8700100 4 inch super small cobra pliers. I really like the knurling on the handles. In fact, Knipex should consider offering cobras & Alligator pliers with knurled handles.
Olight recent sale bundle a warrior M2R light in red/white&blue w/charger, a green mini light and a free key ring multitool. I'm not sure if I like O Light's yellowish light but, time will tell.

These arrived today. Bearing driver set and static wheel balancer rig for motorcycle wheels. The balancer is designed to rest on jack stands or similar and is well made her in California.

Who makes the wheel balancer?

Who makes the wheel balancer?

Looks like the Mark Parnes model, I've owned mine for around 15 years.

I want that MR2 patriotic! You say it has yellowish light though? I dont have any olight products. Is that normal?

Most manufacturer's these days sell warm or high CRI (color rendition index) variants of their lights. It's kind of the next frontier in LED technology since LED's have historically been very bad at rendering colors. It's funny because people have become so used to blue/bright white LEDs that they subconciously equate that with "high performance LED" when really the high color temperature LEDs (the blueish ones) are slightly more efficient but compare miserably against old incandescent lights in terms of color rendition.

That was a but of a rant but trust me when I say that if you see "yellow" LED from a known manufacturer like Olight these days, you can almost be sure that its on purpose and it is a plus.

Interesting, Ok thank you!

Couple of little orders came in to my Matco dealer - 1/4” locking flex ratchet in black (AFR68BLFG) to go with my black 3/8”Matco, and my new favorite bottle opener (10MMBOTTLEWR).

 

[demarpaint]

I really didn't need it but for $62 shipped it was hard to pass on. SK 1/2" Drive LP90 Flex Head Teardrop Ratchet $61.99.

 

[NUTTSGT]

No pic but I picked up a 8mm 1/4" drive socket from Menard's to replace the Cman one that I dropped when changing the plugs on my truck. I think the Cman is down under the intake.

Unfortunately, I bought a 12pt rather a 6 point like I needed and this Masterforce socket is taller.

Time to pull the engine to get that socket back.

Nah, just the intake. . . but I think I'll pass. I told a buddy about it and he said he lost a Snap-on extension in a similar situation 4.6/5.4 V8 Ford.

Not really a tool but it is a tool for **** so my *** can be happy.

Got a bar stool seat replacement. I had to resize the bolt pattern though. Was supposed to be 5-1/4" pcd but the one I received was 7-1/2".

I bought this from the Mac guy for $15. I've used it a couple times now and it does save you from oil messes. FC5 from SUR&R.

A little more eBay fun THLX72. Not sure I am a fan of the locking mechanism though

Was it a gift or do they just put a bow on every new car?

Nope, I get to pay for it myself. Fortunately I was able to put 35% down so the payment isn't frightening.

You’re lucky. The finance company used Covid as an excuse and made me come up with 50% DP. MF[emoji35]

Nice! I found a used one that my brother has as my garage isn't tall enough, too bad he's a hour away.

Is that high enough to stand upright under the car?

Depends on how tall you are, you can get a car to about 6'6" off the ground. I'm 5'11" and can walk comfortably under it. If you're 6'3" or taller, you probably want to consider the taller versions.

The car in the pic isn't quite at full height.
