I liked it too until I saw it was $600 list price on the Snap On site.

Thanks. I'll be looking out for it on Ebay.

Ouch. I have a new cart coming from my guy, will see if he will sweeten that price to help me fill it with these.
Vessel screwdriver set for use in my room/around the house. Not made in Japan & doesn't have the same great feel as my other Vessel screwdrivers but I actually like this set because of the "bits" that can be used as small drivers then insert into the handle when more torque is needed.
Spare butane soldering iron/torch. I don't like these as a soldering iron, I use a Portasol for that, but I like these with the heat blower tip for heatshrink or with the torch tip for other uses. Was cheaper to buy the whole kit than just the butane iron & one blower tip. Been using these for over 20yrs now, my previous ones were Radio Shack branded & Iso-Tip.
I got a set of these blow gun tips years ago but wanted more. Turns out it looks like they don't make em anymore but found someone on ebay who had some for a good deal. Yeah they're cheap but I like em cause the tubes aren't really narrow so they won't bend easy & they don't have the OSHA approved vent hole which is what I wanted for the blow guns I use em on.
Yup, same exact ones I have cause I remember where they are made.
Not really a tool but I've always wanted to try this fancy smancy blue moly. Stuff is expensive but I found a place online that had it for a good price. I was skeptical of the vendor cause there were some clues that made them seem like a scam site but I decided to take the chance, luckily they turned out to be legit & I couldn't be more happy with their service.

With the new 3D printer, the 35 plus year old dial caliper needed an upgrade as it was having some issues with the zero lock screw. Man, this new one is slick and having both imperial and metric, along with fractions is very nice!
Maybe. On the Mayhew site the 4 piece set with part number 42015 shows made in the USA in the description but when you scroll down it shows a COO of FR, France. I don't know if the means the raw punches were shipped here then machined or the means they were packaged only in the USA. Cornwell has a machining facility in Mogadore OH for what it's worth.

Thats, ok I can't spell America in Chinese.
Whoa I wonder when they came out with the etorx sockets for that set. I have all the other pieces so those would be a nice addition. The foam insert would be nice to have too.1/4 drive low profile set

I too bought one of the Dewalt stools. I have a 30" inseam and I found the stool was too tall for me to use as a work stool to scoot around on, and I already have two nice stools to sit on, so I ended up returning it.

I saw the online price. It was marked down to $49.99.

Cordless die-grinder. I think this is my new fav tool in a while. I was thinking of buying the M12 version but already have plenty invested in the Ryobi line (and my old C3 line). Plus this one is currently on sale for $100 at HD. Has 4 selectable RPM settings (10k to 22k) and a variable trigger.
Negative ghost rider.
I don't need the whole kit but after just looking I don't see the etorx sold separately online. You can get all the other pieces individually just not those. I need to track down a dealer or wait till they update the site.

Hmm I am probably about the same height and I think it is good. It has a decent amount of height adjustmentI too bought one of the Dewalt stools.

I had my eye on that Dewalt stool too. At the time I couldn't find anyone selling it without outrageous shipping cost to me. I ended up buying the Masterforce stool from Menards. We don't have Menards here but even with shipping it was way cheaper. Funny cause Menards website said the stool couldn't be shipped to CA but I ordered it anyway & it got delivered.
I'm a bit shorter than you guys and the Masterforce stool is fine for me. The base is a bit different than the Dewalt though & sometime after I bought the Masterforce I read that it does drop a bit lower than the Dewalt, haven't checked to see if that's true. They are said to be both made by the same manufacturer, JS Products.
Love the stool & the fact I didn't have to repaint the yellow but eventually I got sick of the lip on the seat cushion. Couldn't just sit down on it without having to position it towards the back. So I swapped it for a traditional bar stool cushion, so much better & much more comfy. I put the original cushion on another smaller stool I have that had a tractor syle seat.

... the pattern is full.
Got me another Italian made hammer. Don't really know why but I like these Osca hammers. I haven't seen much talk about them over the years except for those in Canada that find em at Princess Auto.
The one I just got is the medium size for the ones I have. There's one more smaller size but it's too small (the head) for my needs. The one still wrapped is just a spare for the size I use the most.

I bought that one on the recommendation of Scotty Kilmer to replace my very expensive Midtronics unit for home use. It was hard to pass up for all of ~$28 USD on sale on Amazon.

I've been slacking in posting my new tools lately but here is a couple that got delivered Friday. It is a USCutter SC2 34" vinyl cutter and a 15" x 15" heat press. As I've posted before I've started a Cerakote side hustle, and I was paying for stencils which was getting expensive. Not to mention that to get a one-off stencil would take about a week. Now I can purchase my own camo pattern or design what I want myself and print it out in minutes and be in the sandblaster in no time. They had a package with the heat press so why not diversify a bit and be able to make some shirts if needed. The company I work for is already wanting some. May not be a tool to some but they are to me and I'm fairly stoked.
I actually purchased a Cricut first and while it proved that it would be a money maker it was limited, and the material was too difficult to work with for stencils, so I sent it back.

New tools today. Snap-on Tuesday my favorite time of the week haha. 36 inch pry bar he finally was able to get more of those. He had a red, green or black so I chose the red. Then some orange cutters. A pocket screwdriver his last one and it’s bent a little lol but oh well. And the a interchangeable Phillips and flat head screwdriver I’m sure that will be handy. Then some more vise grip style pliers 10 inch ones last time I got the 7. And then a long Phillips head to go with my long flat head. Also got my bosses two sets of vise grips warrantied too they were Blue Point and had to be ordered. He didn’t do the because he had never bought anything from Snap-on since his last shop and dealer lol. Oh and thanks to my coworker for letting me use the top of his box as place to take my pictures haha.
I have this set, and boy are they handy when you need them...My Capri "thin" wrench set arrived in the Amazon truck.

1974 Blackhawk catalog No. 227B, 1976 Duro-Chrome catalog No. 40M, a very odd 1/2" hex female drive ratchet which somewhat resembles an early J.E. Wakefield unit that is part of a set I own, a Spring Tools 28R45-1 center punch, and two small bicycle wrenches/hook spanners from Ukraine (the markings on which denote the prices - 7 kopeks and 15 kopeks - not part numbers or manufacturer's name. I'll have to see if I can get more information about their origins from the seller.
Catalogs will be available at ITCL in the near future.

Been a bit since I posted my recent acquisitions.
Snap-On Striking preybar set. I have some older Craftsman USA bars which are great, but no striking caps and I'm always afraid of breaking the handle.
Icon double box end ratcheting metric set. Been eyeing a double box end set for awhile and these fit the bill. Scored on Ebay for 30% off retail new. Also got a Bluepoint scraper for free off the truck.
Igaging sliding squares. Never had a need for these, or didnt think I did, until we started laying LVP with a freind who had one. Immediately got some on the way.
First foray into Wera. Got the Metric T-handles and the striking cap screwdrivers. Very impressed so far and will be adding more.
Finally two bit sets. The Wiha was a needed upgrade to my HF precision bits that seem to like to strip out the smaller screws very easily. Extremely happy with this set so far other than the required adapter for the ratchet which makes the overall height quite tall for such a small ratchet. Also got the Apex bit set with the guards for work around door knobs. Saw them earlier in this thread and thought that was a novel idea.
