I bought the ASD version of these for my dad, or me if I'm at my parents. I took these to the shop one day to try them out. Not bad at all, the open end is a little aggressive, but they should hold up for most applications. I just wish the set went from say 6 or 7mm up to 19, I think there are larger sizes available.Icon long combination wrench set (10-19mm). I paid $72 + tax with a 20% off coupon.

Snap-on Friday. The boot for my air hammer came in, and my dealer had a promo going on a few multimeters, so I traded my old Snap-on meter in for this EEDM525F that I've been eyeing for a while. Also caught a 14.4 battery on promo, can never have too many of these.
I've been scouting Craigslist for a long time and yesterday my number came up. Gently used Hypertherm Powermax 45xp. That makes it 3 for 3 in terms of finding used welding/cutting machines. I'm a hobby guy so I don't depend on my machines for a living and I will never have the urgency of needing a dealer repair to keep working so it made sense for me.

I opted not to buy that set because when I got there one of the workers had the 10mm wrench out and I did not like the feel of it.
Plus the limited sizes. I'm going to go with the Tekton 6-24mm set. I held those in a local store and they felt really good.
Haha nice meter! Curious how much the promo price was. PM me if you want.

Nice meter. Just don’t think I could use it lol. Not good with technology… it would probably meet a hammer by the end of the daySnap-on Friday.

Diamond Dimalloy I think... I have never seen one like it. I will get a close up of it.
Is that just your dealer or a geographic thing? I don't recall seeing meters on promo in the monthly ad.

A few recent arrivals:
Milwaukee 4 Piece Hose pick set: Can't have too many hose picks. I like that this set includes a flat tipped hose pick with rounded edges. Some flat hose picks resemble a bent screwdriver. Comfortable hard/soft handles. measure just under 10 inches overall.
Mayhew 2 piece mini pry bar set: As the name implies, it's a mini pry bar set not a pocket pry bar set since, there aren't any pocket clips
Made in the USA, flat square stock blades, approx 1/8 inch wide blades, straight one measures 5 7/8 inches long overall, bent tip comes in at roughly 5 3/4 overall. nice textured hard handle. the handle itself is 2.5 inches long. I think will they be handy.
Milwaukee compact 3/8 drive ratchet: Crisp 90 tooth action, nice chrome, measures just under 5 inches long overall.
Craftsman V Series Long flex head ratcheting wrench set: These are long wrenches with a six point fixed boxed end on one side and a 12 point, 72 tooth, ratcheting flex head boxed end on the other side. The 10 mm is 11.25 inches long overall and the 19 mm runs 15 9/16 overall. First impressions are that these are really nice wrenches. Excellent chrome, eye beam construction, large size markings on each end/both sides, comes with a USAG/FACOM type wrench holder, very comfortable. The downside to this set, and I think it's a huge screw up by whoever came up with the set, is that it skips 15 & 18 mm. You get 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 17, & 19 mm but, NO 15 or 18 mm

Ford, GM, Chrysler. lol.
That makes sense, I don't touch those things.
But who uses 9mm ? I can't remember ever using a 9mm wrench on any fastener.
Rusty or rounded 10mm! haha
I used a 9mm for the first time ever a couple of months back: vw clutch cover, probably around ‘86.
VW and Peugeot use 18mm extensively.
I believe some American and Euro makes, It is the standard ANSI/ISO head size for M10 bolts.

While not so common, metric hardware can work on your racer.

Peugeot. VAG. Probably bmw.
Quite common on suspension bolts, where the bolt head is one size and the nut is bigger because it’s a nyloc. This was helpful when I only had one set of wrench’s and one rail of sockets.

I have lol. Suzuki I’ve used 9 and 11 same with Isuzu. I’ve also used the SAE equivalent to 9 which is 11/32 on Freightliner haha.

Ford drain plugs some of them. The one on my van is a 16 and some of the new Escapes too. Also mid 2000s GM I’ve run across some. Seems I’ve used it on some Euro stuff too at one point.
Lovely set. I found this one in my box today, didn't even know i had it.
Nice!
I love all things Mitutoyo!

You'll like those Halders, they're great hammers.

So what all can that enhanced meter do? Big screen, and a replaceable fuse for passing current through the meter. It seems to have duplicate buttons compared to the dial selector?
Normally I use my gen1 modis for the huge screen, but the backlight and contrast are poor. Still a good tool for multi channel basic scope.
One of these days a dealer will cut me a steal on a up to date vantage. I very rarely have any interest in guided component test, but there can be some helpful connector location stuff in there. Plus I'd have a new unit with modern screen and batteries. That craigslist modis is still one of my best buys ever.

Honestly it’s the (very) large negative screen that sold me. I can leave the meter on the engine cover or my cart and read it from inside the vehicle easily. It’s also nice for dark under dash work, I don’t have to hit a button on the meter to see. The horizontal orientation with the lead storage around the unit is nice too.
I haven’t had the chance to really dig into it yet, but one thing I have noticed is that it’s significantly faster than my old Snap-on auto-ranging meter.

Need to replace the batteries in my Macbook Air and Macbook Pro.
Bought the Tekton Tech Rescue kit instead of just buying the two pentalobe screwdrivers needed. Because.... yeah.
And since I was on Tekton I went ahead and bought the bundle which included their 1/4" bit set and driver. Because... yeah.
I really like the spinning aluminum bit driver that comes with the tech rescue kit. I think this will be my go to driver for small jobs.

It’s the display that’s calling my name with this meter, super easy to read compared to my fluke. Is this the one with Bluetooth? If so useful for diagnosing trailer wiring, tail lights etc
