[Mr. Roboto]

My first electric impact gun. I have an IR2235TiMAX that I absolutely love, but I think there are a lot of uses for an electric impact as well. Eager to put it through its paces and see how it compares. On paper, it can produce a little more torque than the IR (1400ft-lbs vs 1350ft-lbs)

My Wright Satin finished wrench set ordered on Epstein's day 2022 showed up with a bunch of other goodies today in a flat rate box Perhaps the backlog at Wright Tool has eased a bit

Great to know, thanks!

I was looking at this set. Seems good for the price.

Nice! Good to hear. Yeah I’m in way too deep with Milwaukee to ever consider changing haha.

I bought a Crain model 575 undercut saw for a flooring project I was working on. It was a little on the expensive side, but it made short work of the door jambs in the room. It’s US made, came with a spare set of motor brushes, and a nice case. Also a pic of my closet door jamb after the install.

 

[Snapped-off]

Assembled, but I need to get fasteners to bolt it to the stand. I think I'm going to modify the light switch and cord whenever I swap this over to 240v.

Many thanks to this thread my 4” torx arrived. My 6” arrive next week

 

[bugnut]

Thanks for helping spend money! I got a case of wire ends and a new wire end squeezer! Compliments of GJ and AMZN.

Milwaukee 49-90-2037 AIR-TIP Long Reach Flexible Micro Hose Set​

The prices online varied online between $39 - $65. I paid $39 at Home Depot online. Arrived this past weekend. Used for the first time today. Super good quality from what I can see. Works well with my Ridgid wet dry vacuum. This will certainly get use when I clean out my computer equipment. Today I used it to vacuum a spill of cat hair from a recent shave. The hair fell between two cabinets.

 

[gleman]

I got the 100 PC. Security bits from Harbor Freight. $8.99



I'm not sure of the quality but I need the funky looking H bit on the left and they seem nice enough.

This looks awesome. Thanks for sharing.

These are NOT clutch bits.

 

[four.cycle]

^ I have a whole set of clutch-head drivers... that's not what those things are.... and I'm curious because I am seeing old screwdrivers and other devices which have been modified in order to serve that purpose.
Like this lovely Sommer promotional screwdriver that the previous owner reworked:

2 Prong Security Screwdriver Bits.

1/4 Hexagon Drive Also known as Pig Nose or Snake Eyes. Usually Out for Next Day Delivery 3:30pm Work Day Cut-Off.

[gleman]

Those are the bits I need! I don't know what they're called but marked circle H.




For my toaster.




I don't want to spring for another fancy toaster and haven't found a Duolit on the cheap. I figured it was worth a shot.

Huh... ok... 63 years old... have those bits/drivers... labelled clutch bits... BUT yea... it is in a set of "Security Bits". My whole world is now ... out of sync.

Attached is a clutch bit. My bad.

Some aluminum *parts trays* from the cookware aisle at WallyWorld..

 

[four.cycle]

^ thanks. toasters? and I'd been of the belief those things were for telecommunications systems - like phones and such.
So... If I do not own a toaster, I probably don't need them?

Just buy a cheap toaster ($20 or less) and throw it away when it stops working and get a new one. Is it really worth rebuilding one?

 

[Etchase]

I have a 3/16 plomb socket that is modified into one of those 2 prong bit configurations. Must have be a favorite toaster

I did buy a cheap toaster($19.00) and use it. It works but I don't like it.

I think the old one is worth a shot at repair.

I have a big stack of old bakeware in the shop for various uses. Mines garage sale and thrift store vintage!

Degreasing, soaking and sorting. True heros of the shop.

 

[newchris]

Put together a set of Tsunoda pliers. Made in Japan and EXCELENT quality for the price.

Mossberg model "C" 5-in bicycle wrench and Eska 230649 stamped bicycle wrench

 

[thr3squared]

If you have a rural king near you you can get same set for $20.

While I like the price, not a fan of the dark color. easier to see small parts/screws on a brighter background.

 

[mogandave]

Got this bad-boy yesterday, $1.47 delivered. Seems to fit the hose okay, going to put it to work later today...

I have an ideal punchdown tool 66/110 that kinda looks like that but it's just security bits.

I bought that same set as I needed one non standard bit for an emergency repair.
Quality was good enough that It did the job, but I forgot what electronic piece of equipment that I fixed, and now I feel old.

Have a few Tsunoda pliers as well and agree the quality is very good.

I plan on making a pilgrimage to HJE this week

 

[murd]

I was up to the city last week. Had it in my head I'd visit the pawn shops and see if I could find a coil framing nailer. Over the course of the week I got to 5 or 6 shops, none had the one I was looking for. The shop that had the most stuff was asking for higher than retail on the items I looked up. Anyway, one evening I went to the Home Depot and found the clearance table. On it was a brand new coil framing nailer for half price.

 

[may0naise]

I picked up a central machinery 4x6 horizontal/vertical bandsaw at good will for $70. Works great and is in basically brand new condition.

 

[WWheeler]

Got a new Wilde 45” pry bar (HPB20-38) delivered today. It definitely dwarfs my other pry bars also made by Wilde. It's a beast, and now I'm going to have to make a new rack to hold them because my old one on the side of my cart sure doesn't have room for this.

Don't know how much use it will actually get, as I almost always grab the shortest one and only go longer if need be, BUT if and when need be now I do have it. Rather have the tool at the ready that I don't need today than not have the tool that I do.
