For the record I did Share one batch in the thread @$50ish, and my first batch was same price. $41 was too hard to pass up. Not lifetime supply for me but I am good for a Long time now. When its cheep I tend to use it for things I wouldn't have before. It does clean certain tings well, air hoses, extension cords, wipe down toolbox and lift etc... Even just hand tools, makes the Milwaukee cordless pretty again

Maybe if I loaded it into a Sureshot I would use WD40 more. It did manage to strip the white lettering off my milwaukee tools. Not sure if that matters to you.

I started with the 1/2", the 3/8" and 1/4" drive followed close behind. They're top quality tools.

Just over $10 / gallon! Wow! That’s about £8 in Imperial Groats!Guess its a tool... Now have 7 unopened gallons of WD. Need to refrain from buying more even if its too cheap to pass up.
I reckon I’d have 7 unopened gallons at that price!

What sort of projects do you need the 12" bits for?Picked up two 12" drill bits and a 12"& 6" bit holders.
Did anyone ever strip a FJ200/300? I looked last time the jack thread bubbled up and didn’t see any info on what they’re like internally, just a lot of supposition.
Fwiw, my fj300 is great.
I have a few larger bits, diameter wise, that I have used when remodeling the house.....old home larger beams.
Think of them as extensions for a ratchet and socket...times where the drill may not fit in a tight spot.
Besides, they are factory blems and each bit was $1.29/ea.

The torx screws holding my armrest on were slightly too deep for my torx sockets, so I got these Eklind bright torx L-keys to get at them. Fit was very tight, I was impressed. Hoping these will be more rust resistant than my black oxide stuff, just can't seem to keep anything black oxide nice.

Bad A$$
Appears to be high quality. The finish is really nice. Have not used any of them yet..

Loving my .22LR screwdriver insert bit box setup.
So I took the idea a step further for 2” power bits using a .223 box.
I used clear vinyl tubing as reducers to get the sizing perfect, which also eliminated much of the rattle, and provides comfortable spacing for easy bit removal.
Very happy with the result.
Most of the bits are new.

I've "needed" some sort of bolt cutters for a while, but I always "made do" with what I had. Last weekend I had to cut a steel cage out from around one of our trees, as the tree had grown into it. The tree isn't tall so I had to lie down on the ground and crawl to get underneath. Oh, and it's a rock garden around the tree. I went at it with a close quarters hacksaw I have. The normal hacksaw was too big. I have a corded rotary tool and a corded angle grinder, but I didn't think it a good idea given my position and all the branches. So to cut to the chase I ordered this Gedore Bolt cutter for next time I suppose. As If I had this last weekend that job would have been really quick and painless.
First Gedore tool, first Austrian made tool for me. Feels solid. Tested in on a screw and a nail and it went through them easily. The price seemed good on Amazon. I think the current ones have a blue handle though.

I’m working on my daughters 2006 Honda CRV and I need a long reach 10mm wrench. My craftsman 10mm wrench is the standard size, which is about 3.5-4 inches in length, at the most.

Astro hose picks (fantastic feeling tools @Astro_Pneumatic_Tools ), Snap-On long hose pick, hub scrubber, and 8 inch needle nose, also swapped a 1/4" ratchet to a 1/4" bit driver.
Going to hopefully go on an ASTRO buying spree soon for a friends son who just started in the auto repair industry at a local dealership. Have never been disappointed in their products.

I have those Astro hose picks, I like them.
Picked this up at Lowes today for an upcoming project. I never expected big box hardware stores to sell jacks.
My truck came with a screw type bottle jack, I've never actually used a bottle jack to lift a vehicle though. Is it safe? Just seems sketchy AF to me.

Ooooh, NICE!One of the more expensive tool I ever purchased. Finally gave in after all these years. Too diificult to troubleshoot evap system on one car and vsc on another car.
I've been eyeballing the $900 TopDon Pheonix that ScannerDanner has been pitching lately. Haven't seen the 'Phoenix Plus" though. I see now it's apparently been available on other places like Amazon but it just says "coming soon" on the TopDon website. lol

FFS.... a while back I lost a screwdriver that disappeared when we had some contractors in... feared the worst.
It was a stubby CK HD Classic #2 Ph, hard to find in the US.
Bought a Tekton to replace it
Then I found a CK just like the one I lost on Ebay & bought it...
Today I found the missing screwdriver in the ShitBox Honda, so now I have three stubby #2 Ph screwdrivers.

I'm not sure if I ever used a bottle jack by choice as the primary lift device more so because my vehicles' lift points aren't really designed for them. Adding a piece of wood just adds to the sketchiness factor. Leveling stuff on a solid flat concrete floor and in the hydraulic press seem like the best usage for bottle jacks. Was using a scissor jack for a while which was slightly less sketchy and then decided another floor jack was the way to go.Picked this up at Lowes today for an upcoming project.
