Nice. I've got a 5.11 Rush12 backpack & I've been pretty happy with it.

Final Snappy Wednesday. Bearing packer mainly for trailer bearings. Pretty sure it's from Lisle.
I've got the 12-20 awg pliers and I wanted these smaller ones that go to 24awg.

That bag is on my Birthday List. I want that bad.
I am SOOO impressed with the quality of the 5.11 Push Pack. The side compartment for a water bottle is unexpected. It is normally zipped up... unzip it and it unfolds a meshed side slot for a water bottle. The CCW pouch can open LEFT or RIGHT, which I like. There is not one single thread out of place. The finishing of this bag is perfect. All YKK zippers too. The over the shoulder strap is a tad "Bold" for what I need but it will work.

Picked up this Stihl RE90 electric pressure washer. I have been wanting one that was easier to use and quiet compared to my gas powered ones, and this one matches my other toys.

My 6 point wrenches we’re waiting at the doorstep for me when I got home from work. Bought used from a member of another automotive/tool related forum. Very lightly used. Gave $49 for them. Not bad. I wanted 6 point wrenches just for the heck of it lol. Everyone over on that forum didn’t like my Snap-on wrenches and kept listing other brands that were better so hopefully they like these lol. Even if I don’t use them I had to think in the GJ mindset it’s a tool and I NEED it LOL.

I have exactly the same thing, including the wrench roll. I never used them though b/c I have the same tool with Craftsman brand, and I have GW's pass thru tools, which work like wrench. But these are nice, dependable tools. I would definitely trust them more than 12 point ones. The best place to use them is when I bleed brake fluid. Perfect tool for that.

You'd probably love Williams supercombos. Same wrench with a thicker beam.

That’s a great idea on the brake bleeders. Typically I use a flare nut wrench for those but I think I’ll try these out next time.

That’s a fair point. Personally I like the thinness haha but it’s all a matter of preference. Makes me feel it can fit in more places easily. I just know one thing is for sure these feel a heck of a lot better in my hand than my rough Craftsman Chinese ones these are also a lot more precise my other ones would slip so I needed something better. Personally I would not of paid retail for them as they are pretty high. I got both these sets for $570 out the door. So it’s probably not the cheapest price still but I’m happy with it. Took $135 off the regular set and $111 off the big wrenches set. Better than paying retail.

Thought I’d try my hand at this pry bar, seems very stout. I needed a metal pry tool anyways. Been using plastic ones for way too long.
If you put a 4ft cheater pipe on one of these wrenches and broke the open end, would your dealer replace it with no questions asked?
In my experience depends on your dealer & how good of a relationship you have with him. I was cool with my SO dealer & spent money with him often, he would replace my broken chrome sockets that were used with an impact. He would also replace comfort grip handles (the old fat ones broke really easy) that my coworkers would break using cheaters.
My Matco dealer on the other hand wouldn't warranty broken chrome sockets for any of my coworkers if they had any signs of impact gun marks on the drive end. I never bought any Matco chrome sockets, not because of that reason, I just didn't like them. But my Matco dealer would replace consumables for me without me even asking. I never would have asked to warranty consumables, he would sometimes happen to see me struggling with a worn consumable & would just hand me a new one.
I don't work at a shop anymore & my SO dealer retired (I kept buying from him after I left the shop), but if I stepped onto a random SO truck & tried to warranty a cracked chrome socket with impact marks I wouldn't be surprised if they said no.
I've had some SO dealers who gave me a hard time about warranting tools where others are really cool no questions asked & treated me as if I was one of their regular customers. Luckily I never did need to warranty tools often.
Mac on the other hand, every truck I've stepped foot on the dealers were assholes. That plus their high prices & their tools never really interesting me much I will never buy Mac tools.

My dealer would replace it with no questions asked. He will replace anything for anybody. Especially for me though as I’m one of his top customers.
My guy would, I haven't bought a lot of tools off him as I was pretty set when I changed jobs but he did get me for a new box as the shop is nowhere as properly stocked with specially tools as my last shop was so I've been buying and my old box was FULL.
I need a side cabinet.
Milwaukee m18 blower kit with free 6.0ah batt
Starting the gas blower for 5 minutes of use is a pita. Also got it because my only m18 batt I have (9.0ah) that I have for my powerhead trimmer and Sawzall, seems to be starting to **** out. Now I've got an 8.0 and 6.0
My first cordless blower. Seems to blow pretty good on high but seems overly weak on low. Doesn't feel like it's quite as powerful as my 25cc echo pb250ln but I haven't run them side by side yet. Bought the echo because leaf clean up takes about 3 hours. But it doe weigh less than the echo

Just curious, is there a point to that question? Or did I just miss something?
My experience resembles that of darkzero... I was on the truck this afternoon, my dealer changed out another ratchet handle for me (changed out 3 handles total, now they're all green to match my other ratchets).
Few hours later, I called him just before 5pm (on a Friday) and about an hour later he literally drove to my house to replace the lock on my KRSC430 box after I could not get it to unlock. He even drilled it out and replaced it for me.
If I wasn't already a loyal Snap On customer, I sure as **** am now. But not all dealers are created equal.

a new project a new tool, mini torch and some gas refills.
Have two of them and they are very useful, but they will **** **** up if you pry too much on the wrong thing.

Some new tools from good ole Walmart. Got some 9 inch long nose vise grips for home stuff. I have a Chinese Irwin set that absolutely *****. I bought at Walmart when they still sold Irwin probably 6-7 years ago and the teeth are completely gone on them. Not even worth trying to warranty in my opinion because the new ones will just do the same thing. I read online these are pretty good and they look like the Duralast vise grips which are great for what they are so I figured I’d give them a try if anything I can always upgrade them later as they are my home set. I have a smaller set of Bremen 6 inch long nose at home as well. Some they had were made in Vietnam and some in China this pair says China. Something was telling me Vietnam tools would be like India tools so I got the Chinese ones. These are definitely better than the Pittsburgh ones I can tell you that just by looking at them and these probably won’t fall apart and almost cause a hood to fall on you like the Pittsburgh lol. Also got a 3/8 socket rail for my swivel sockets that I got last week.
Just something small, Williams 1/4" drive spinner handle.
Is that four sided (lobe) or six?

Picked this up on sale for $175. Full disclosure, I have never welded before. I’ve been wanting to learn for years. After watching a bunch of YouTube reviews, this seemed like a cheap way to give it a shot. Plus, I have a project that requires a little welding.

This just showed up which is actually needed to remove some paint from concrete (just tested it, did the job just fine)
Unfortunately the Amazon driver rung the doorbell, which alerted the dog, which in turn alerted the roomie.... Will be adding "Do NOT ring the ******* doorbell" to future delivery instructions...

Got some things at The Home Depot today. A 12 piece Mayhew punch and chisel set. I wanted to get the Snap-on but honestly I’m tired of waiting on everything to come in from Snap-on plus I don’t need to spend anymore money than I have too lol. But I may get them eventually. We will see how these hold up I know the name Mayhew so I hope they are the same quality they have been in years past. Then some Philips and flat head bit sockets. They will do me for right now till I find some better ones after I do some research.

I bought a 3 pack of Mayhew pin punches from HD about 10 years ago that I’ve been beating on ever since. They’ve held up great. They’re almost all I buy for punches now, except for a set of protos I got a good deal on.

I actually intend on doing the same thing when I get a little extra cash. I've been putting off learning to weld for too many years. I've done a lot of research and I think these HF Titanium welders are the best entry level option.
I didn't even know that existed, but I'll definitely be ordering one.
