That's a good 6 in 1. I bought one of those plastic craftsman truck boxes in 89. I kept a 1/4 drive set and a test light in it.

Curiosity got the best of me along with a 20% off coupon at Zoro so I ordered an Ingersoll Rand 759992X 3/8" drive ratchet.

Please post a review once it arrives. From the backside it looks like that latest 90T Gearwrench stuff. I'm curious if it's looks the same on the anvil side.

That and the fact I was able to get it for under $30 is why I was willing to take a shot.

Is that an air powered impact?Finally got to put this Astro to work. Impressed. Lots of power and surprisingly quiet

Yes, an Astro Nano Flex. It and the reg Nano have more power than they should given their size.

4425?
That and the AESWave terminal kit have saved me a lot of time and made me a lot money.

Jumped on the Westling band wagon today. I still like the Ernst rails because you can take a whole rail with you but I’ll admit these socket trays are pretty nice. Since I don’t use sockets a ton at work and my box is right next to my machine, I think the Westling trays will be a perfect fit. Got the SAE sets for now. I will probably add the metric sets later.

Got me another hydraulic lift cart, well "stand" actually. I have a HF lift cart but it's too bulky to use in my limited workspace. This one is a dirt bike/motorcycle work lift stand.
Gonna use it for things like getting my super spacer on the mill table. That little sucker weighs just under 80 lbs. Will probably use it for my drill press too that weighs 85 lbs. I can still lift them but I've got a bad back & as the years go by I know it will get tougher for me to lift them. I can already feel it these past couple of years. Tested it out today, I love this thing already.
Bessey magnetic wand. This one is just a cheapie, the USA made ones cost way more than I wanted to spend. Probably won't get used that often, I've lived without one for years. But it does work fine.

I have been looking for the 68100 tool, where did you find one? It looks like it has been discontinued.
I stumbled across it on the Napa online site. Hard to find it on their site. Weird and glitchy. You can try to call their online number. Don't email them....they will respond with "call us during business hours".
Snap on probably still has it under their blue point line. You could also try to contact Schley and see what they can do...although they don't sell direct.
Just found a link now...Napa Canada price is probably not USD.

Since this is GJ I have to give the obligatory 'Get them all, duh!"
TBH I don't use my air tools all that often these days only because I have compact battery impacts that will usually do in the same places BUT it's nice when I have to be able to get an air impact in places I never could before, to zip off brake calipers and brackets and whatnot. When my battery versions wouldn't fit the Nanos have helped me more than once get at crank bolts & such that I otherwise if I followed the service manual's advice would have had to pull the radiator to get at. It's nice to be able to slip a piece of cardboard down in there to protect the rad and save at least 30+ minutes on a job without too much inconvenience otherwise. I hate dumping coolant and refilling if I don't have to.
Yeah...I know what you mean. I have almost the whole Milwaukee automotive line of impacts and ratchets, grinders etc. I still like my air tools especially my die grinders and cutoff wheel (I have them in Milwaukee M12 cordless too....and they're meh). Also I really like my Mac (SP Air) 1/4 drive ratchet coo MIJ(bought new in the mid 90's) and my Rodac air hammer. I have the Mac composite 3/8 impact (Probably an IR) and probably don't need the nano (I have the M18 Mid torque 3/8, Mid torque 1/2, also the M12 stubby fuel 3/8.Since this is GJ I have to give the obligatory 'Get them all, duh!"

I probably want a nano because I have the nano sockets lol!

Kind of at my limit.
Do you know what "sloppy seconds" are ?
Do you know what "sloppy seconds" are ?
The one I got is branded Durhand. I got it from Aosom. Currently $220 (used to be $180 pre pandemic/inflation) but I found a 15% off coupon & got it for $187. It came quick, they shipped from a warehouse close to me so I got it the very next day which I totally did not expect.
There are other brands on Amazon, some cheaper, some more expensive. But many of them don't have casters so pay attention to that if it matters to you. I see you're in Canada, Amazon Warehouse US had a different brand for $140 but no casters. I could've probably added my own but I decided to just get the Durhand as that's the one I've had my eye on for so long.
The casters on this one lock 2 ways, 2 of 4 the casters lock, when locked, not only do they lock the wheels from rolling but they also lock them from rotating. That's a nice feature for use as a work stand.
I'm sure we all do but not all AWD are "sloppy seconds".... implying used. Almost all my AWD purchases have just been damaged retail packaging with no damage to the actual item or prev purchaser use. In fact I can't think of any AWD purchases I have made that had signs of any use, if any of them were I couldn't tell & I always inspect very closely.
But then again I never buy the ones that say comsmetic imperfections/damage, only the ones that say damaged original packaging and/or repackaged. I have had a couple that weren't even the item being sold, those returned of course.
Where did you pick up that oil pan? If you don't mind.

curious to see why you picked up some singles over the gearwrench set of 8-25mm or w/e it is nowThe first of my extra long ratchet box wrench’s turned up this week, I forgot to take a photo of it when it came in, so here’s it when I started using it. I’m really pleased with it, works great.
I wanted the full set of these, but they were coming in at over $1000…you know it’s bad when the snap on guy says ‘these come with a lot of lube’. So I ordered the 10, 13, 16, 17mm for now, will pick up the 18 and 19 when my bank balance recovers
