On those cheap HF welders, my Dad swears by his. He said it wasn't worth a **** with the wire that came with it. He says it works flawlessly with good Hobart wire.

i picked up a small roll from lowes when i went to look at a huge as Kobalt rolling tool box (the one with the built in cd player and speaker for 400$)

it wont feed the wire into the sleeve not even grab it and unroll any idea's on how to fix the small rubber wheel?

 

[Ditchdigger]

Nabbed this Easco metric set for a tenner

Looks like the only one ever used was the 12mm. Some american made goodness for the price of HF.

 

[00S4Boy]

A KRL1024BPC. Should be here next week, now to see if the digicam still works.

 

[SnowBlaZeR2]

New everything but tub for the bathroom.

Some pliers I needed for my 2nd set of Cman Pros, a couple Cman combo wrenches to fill in some blanks in my trail box all from Sears.

3/8 x 100 Goodyear hose, socket trays (which I hate) and one of those Pittsburgh Pro rotating head ratchets all from HF. My wife wanted to stop in there and look for some stuff for her house tool box and I couldn't resist.

 

[nate379]

A haircut - $20
Title and plates for one of my cars - $45

 

[Bjkearns]

wow that is so cheap
title and plates on 2 or more cars for $45
cheap cheap cheap
I need out of CA

 

[nate379]

Was just a title transfer which is $15 and then I got a set of Veterans plates which costs $30.
I'm not a "vet" per say since I am on active duty still but they went back to the ugly as **** yellow plates and the vet plates are white. Not to mention less harassment from cops and the $30 goes to a fund for vets.

 

[O RLY]

Got my S80 in the mail today that Ive been waiting on for 3 weeks!

 

[bmxr4life87]

Got an old waterloo crinkle finish box with a few tools some american for $30 and I got an IR air drill from a coworker that needs planetary gears for free

Yah think? Well done.

Now just change your name to the one on that RHFT!

 

[ugapug]

The old guy at the flea market had the Easco version of the RHFT too - I may go back next weekend and grab it too since it's essentially the exact same ratchet.

[Rickster]

- A set of NOS in the package Cman locking 3/8 dr extensions
- Cman autoranging multimeter
- a nice wrench rack for my cart
- Someting called a roberts (I think) pipe or water outlet remover 4 pc kit. Looks like it fits into a water outlet and then when you onscrewit, part of itself rotates out and grabs the outlet for removing. It's like a stud puller only for inside diameters.
- Handful of older Mac ind finish wrenches with owners marking -I don't know why I bought them, but they were the value items in this old box.
- An older retangular Snap-on name plate with its pins and lockng tabs in place.

[Strouty]

I got an electric walk behind forklift, 3000 pound capacity, 106" lift. I paid $260 and it came with the charger, added some water to the cells, charged it overnight and she works pretty good. No brakes, literally, the shaft that holds the drum is snapped off. I was trying to make an elevator/dumbwaiter to get engines and other heavy things upstairs, this should get me started!

 

[Flatland Dave]

Nothing, nada, I did sell some scrap iron though..

 

[slip knot]

Picked this up along with some other goodies. I think I'm gonna try and restore it. Paid $40 for it with $100 worth of tools in it.

 

[caper150]

8 sheets of drywall, a bucket of mud to finish off the shop, hangers and end caps for the gutters on the house and two new blades and a drive belt for the mower. I might need to go get a job if this keeps up

Snap-On KRA65 box with the sliding tray. All the talk here made me want one bad-like.

I have this same box. Bought it forty years ago, from a friend that his dad had a shop. It was made to hold a Snap On valve seat grinder set, for stones, guides, and stone dresser. I got it and the SO valve refacer machine, made by K.O. Lee, and some other stuff for $150. I still use it some.

 

[crewchief888]
