I did not buy this but given how my recent "uxcell" adapter from China was purchased rather than paying for a Japanese Koken adapter somebody had mentioned, I just found out Wera also makes 1/4" female-to-1/2"-male adapter:

Had to watch the 5min assembly video and had it put together in about 20 minutes.
Ok it is the Superdooper Deluxe Model with all the accessories. Early Xmas gift.
I consider these to be essential table saw accessories.

I have two complete sets of those. Use them all the time. Not as useful for every cut on my router table. I have a BenchDog push handle for those moments. Had an uncle with 9.85 fingers.microjig GRRRip-it

I came across a Snap-On truck last week. A new 3/8 impact and a pair of pliers. The driver was at a car show and was running a 20% off special. I still paid way too much, but I’ve always wanted this impact.

Wow, didn't know you could buy these. I made similar push handles/blocks out of wood and other materials. No, they're not as pretty, but work. Are we dealing with a chicken/egg situation? Can you make push tools out of wood if you don't already have the push tools.

Milescraft 3406 GrabberPRO is another version of those for about half the price.
Not sure how the quality compares.
That ratcheting tap/die wrench seems like a cool idea - until you actually have to use it and need to reverse every so often to clear chips. You'll be wishing for normal tap/die wrenches (and the Lisle-style style tap sockets).
I use mine (like maybe once) as a 3/8 drive t-handle ratchet - there's an adapter. One of those gimmick tools that I should probably just toss. At least I bought the ratchet handle as a separate kit so my tap/die box has spaces for regulat wrenches.

I really like the T-handles, especially when chasing threads. Also gives me T-handles for pass thru sockets, hex bits, 1/4, 3/8, 1/2 square drive. It’s one of the few cases I’ve kept. A drawer of loose tapes makes for a lot of searching. You got a great price.

Another vote for those ratcheting handles. Have had mine for a few years, and never any problems using.

Dont youguys pay any import taxes when buying from overseas?
I always have when buying from the USA, Royal Mail will hold the item until you go collect and pay the tax.
I've never tried UPS or FedEx though
Everywhere else I've never had a problem, I suspect USA retailers are scrupulously honest to not fall foul of the US Government.
Another early Xmas present arrived today.
Microjig Microdial tapper jig.
And some AWD 3/8in floor flanges (airtool mounting system) on the cheep.
Are those flanges for some other project you discussed in a thread a few weeks ago? They look familiar...

Many years ago I got basically that but from Griot's Garage, as a gift. Great tips, great grips! The Ph. #2 just seems to fit just right in so many Phillips screws.
I was thinking a few weeks ago, maybe someday I'll have enough drawer space to have a section that's "screwdrivers, but not really for turning screws, just abusing", and the Wihas won't be in that section.
Don't think that was me

I always go to a T-handle tap wrench, at least when there is room to swing it.

I actually have several normal tap handles. Beautiful old Starrets from the 50s and 60s that I inherited from my grandfather who was a machinist. I purchased this set mostly to have a nice organized case of taps/dies. The ratcheting handle was just a bonus, and I’m interested to try it out!
I have all of that stuff. Drawers of it. I almost never use any of it since I bought a couple sets of tap sockets. All those tap handles hurt your hands.

Here are a few things I got over the last few days. Two sets of Malco Eagle grips before they are gone.
A swivel for my new impact and a non-marking lug nut socket. Actually I got two of the sockets 19 and 21mm, the other is in my tool box.
Finally a picture of locking pliers at lowe’s today. This is what killed the Malco line. I’m a sucker for the USA stamp. I think I could buy 6 of these packs for what I paid for the two Malcos. However, the Malco’s are so much nicer.

I doubt seriously if cheap Kobalt locking pliers killed off the Malco line. If anything, it was a lack of marketing by Malco and maybe the fact that most people beat the **** out of their locking pliers and don't want to beat up a $50 plus pairHere are a few things I got over the last few days.

It is definitely due to locking pliers' users don't want to pay up. Malco makes a lot of stuff and $50 is just normal price for their pliers, seamers or crimpers.I doubt seriously if cheap Kobalt locking pliers killed off the Malco line.

About a year late to the game, but picked up a couple of Knipex pliers. The dual action and the XD water pump (Cobra) pliers.

You will love that 3/8" impact. I had the original version, the IM31, for about 25 years and then about 10 years ago when it was needing to be freshened up, I opted to upgrade to the new MG325. For the most part it is my go-to gun.

Are the bits in your new driver the same as the ones in the Milwaukee Shockwave driver kits? Or are the proprietary to that specific tool?
Thx
Found a couple of deals and shipped to my daughter in college, her first year and first time dealing with freezing temps. I like how these types of tools have become easier/safer/compact to use and carry.
