I’ve got more screwdrivers than I know what to do with, but that power blue is just beautiful. I might have to make room in the box for some more screwdrivers…

Sounds like you knew my motivation for the purchase. I have so many screwdrivers that they are now in every corner of my shop.

 

[PelicanPines]

These are handy for so many "fingernail" tasks. Mostly for cleaning things... getting into corners etc. Found these MADE IN USA versions. Great quality.

NO finger nails... then Scrigit !

Not exactly a tool but my tool organizers came in today. Ernst socket boss, plier organizers, and wrench racks. Can’t wait to get it all set up. Went out on a limb and went with the “HiViz” green/yellow color.

 

[Raineman]

Those look great

That color is sweet!

I think so too. I was originally going to go with the standard red/blue for SAE/Metric but said screw it. I think chrome sockets will look good against the highlighter color. Plus I just got a bright white tool box that this stuff is going into so it will really pop. Not that any of this matters to what actually gets done in the garage... but it makes me feel good lol.

Don't let your wife/girlfriend hear you say these things. You'll will never be able to complain about the endless shoe and purse color combos

Warranty replacement Craftsman ratchet I got this ratchet in a box from the pawn shop a couple weeks ago. It’s frozen up I’m going to grease it and see if it will fix itself. They told me the raised panels were on back order and they would not be making them anymore after that so they gave me this one instead which is ten times better. They offered one of the other style ones too but I wanted the Gunmetal one. I think Craftsman is trying to earn back their customers base which so far for everything they have done for me they have. Satisfied customer here. And this is Taiwan made as well.

Got a new spark plug wrench for the motorcycle tool box

It does. I have the same socket boss trays for my impact sockets. FYI it goes well with the Hansen Hi-Viz trays and my snap-on Hi-Viz hard handles.

Starrett center punch set.

 

[MarkG]

Finally ordered a real ground clamp for the Miller. Also bought a couple sorts of braided copper for difficult to ground projects. (like one I just did....:S)

 

[Indexmill]

Starrett center punch set.

That was a quick $300.

 

[Craftfab]

That was a quick $300.

Gracious. Where are they that much? I get mine from Zoro. You can get all three right now for $138 shipped before tax (and they are eligible for the 10-20% coupons too).

 

[Dr.JohnnyFever]

Finally got the zero offset ratcheting wrenches I had been wanting:

 

[Kasal]

El trinquete parece relativamente bien. Sin embargo, tengo muchos trinquetes de calidad, por lo que es probable que se convierta en un regalo de Navidad.

Los enchufes están * secos *. Recibirán una limpieza con CLP más tarde.

excuse my ignorance that is the CLP.

[Dr.JohnnyFever]

disculpe mi desconocimiento que es el CLP.

A combination cleaner, lubricant, and preservative. Very good stuff. Available as a liquid or spray.

Una combinación de limpiador, lubricante y conservante. Muy buenas cosas. Disponible en forma líquida o en aerosol.

Thank you very much, I will look for it.

 

[Dr.JohnnyFever]

I have got by just fine with pry bars and large screwdrivers up until a couple of weeks ago when a particularly tight Accord caliper caused me much vexation. That won't happen again.

 

[Dr.JohnnyFever]

Jumping on the Hi-Viz Socket Boss bandwagon. Actually, it is just coincidence. Ordered these a while back when I found out my newly arrived Grey Pneumatic 3/8" impact set wouldn't fit my Hansen trays.

 

[NUTTSGT]

Crimson 1/4" drive spinner handle from Rural King. This will go in the tool box on Engine 1 at the station.

 

[FMB4]

That was a quick $300.

I have a mid-sized Starrett automatic center punch that was given to me, in well used condition, by a machinist that I worked with in '82. No telling how many times it's been used. Still works great to this day. Meanwhile, a cheap HF auto punch has spent more disassembled than it has been used (there a number of online videos that show how to make these cheap punches more reliable).

 

[Ign]

Picked up this SVTS272 Snappy rad pressure tester for $100

 

[engineer2]

Not a new tool, but I finally dragged it out of storage to start reviving it.

 

[vertguy]

The BO Twin Grips from HJE finally arrived. As usually, they seem very well built and should come in handy.

Warranty replacement of my 30 year old MAC 9/16 that I exploded the box end on a while ago. I shipped my broken one out to them on 8/2 because I don’t have a regular MAC truck available to me, and this shiny new piece of awesome was waiting for me when I got home today. I really didn’t expect them to send me their newest top end wrench to replace it, but they did. I don’t regret that investment many years ago. Good job MAC, and thank you.

Did you have to pay shipping to them and did you contact them prior to shipping, I have some broken stuff and it's been years since I've seen a truck.

 

[Raineman]

I sent it back in an envelope with a note and my return address. Followed warranty instructions on their website. Very pleased with the whole process.

 

[Kevkx125]

I picked up a used mower lift . should come in handy for cleaning under the deck

 

[fair1345]

I bought a rotary hammer but the truth is I do not know how to upload the images in the forums, an apology.

Whatsa distributor??? Ha!

 

[NUTTSGT]

Been wanting to get a couple larger batteries than the 2.0ah that came with what I bought. I came across this 4 pack of two each. 2.0ah & 4.0ah at Lowes. Tax with Veteran discount came out to about $145.

 

[FMB4]

Whatsa distributor??? Ha!

I think a distributor has something to do with Dwell (or is it the other way around?). I've got drawer partly filled with very old Penske tuneup equipment that includes a dwell/RPM meter, timing light, alt tester, and a crude CO meter. Never use any of them these days, but I keep them around anyway. Not sure why.

 

[2ndGearRubber]

Arrived in my tool box, after I made it.

10mm, 1/4 drive torque adapter. Seen next to a snap on 8mm. For some reason NOBODY makes these in 1/4 drive. I eyeballed it and it ended up just under 1.25inches. Although I almost exclusively use them at 90 degrees.

 

[m6z]

A couple of magnetic sparkplug sockets
