If anybody has an old style R.236 spinner handle they’re willing to part with, send me a message! I would love to complete my Facom ratchet set with a period correct spinner. Here are some new arrivals from Ultimate Garage, and a cart I’m working on filling up with Facom modules.

I have cut several of them. Cutting the aluminum is easy, cutting the magnets is a lot more difficult. If you cut them in 2” increments (the length of each magnet segment) you can do it with just about anything. Trying to cut through the magnet itself with a portaband just destroys the blade...

Another Facom haul from @ultgar

I’m looking for an older style Facom R.236 1/4” drive spinner handle in this style, or similar: I think there are a few sight variations of the part number, but I am NOT looking for the modern style (Protwist) or the older translucent red plastic handle. PayPal or Venmo preferred. Thanks!

Marketplace KRL1201 top chest to complete my stack and facilitate my tool addiction!

I stumbled into the Snap-on USA 250 socket set on the truck and had to have it. Then I found the Klein pliers at Lowe’s, then the special Epstein's Day pliers…then it got out of hand 😂 So anyway, now I have another mobile tool kit to keep in my car! Other than the multimeter, bits, and gloves...

FREEDOM

Thanks! It’s okay, I like it for this drawer since I’m not shooting for maximum density and need to rearrange it often. I have a mixture of Hansen, Westling, VIM Magrail, and custom machined organizers in my main box and have achieved a little better density without sacrificing accessibility.

Small Facom haul from @ultgar One step closer to completing my wishlist from the 2003 SK - Facom catalog 😂

😮 is that new new or restored / new to you?

I agree 😂 it does say “for general automotive use” in the catalog. I did use it to pound in some nails to hang a calendar and some keychains, so that’s pretty general.

Here are two silly purchases for completely opposite reasons: Martinez M1 titanium framing hammer and Snap-on 16oz claw hammer. The Snap-on was a fanboy purchase and is objectively a terrible tool. Their tools are priced high and never the best value per dollar but almost always top quality...

It’s not complete yet, but I wanted to get it posted while we’re still on page 1995 of this thread….I started building a 90s themed travel tool kit for my 90s VWs 😂 here are some recent hauls from Snap-on, Icon, Ernst, eBay, and Marketplace.

Harry Epstein purchase to complete my Wright metric set

I finally picked up a Venom HP induction heater, on sale from Val Tools. The retaining ring pliers are from Snap-on, they were on sale and this completes my set.
