😮 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.

The ultra rare BF634! 😮

I was really hoping the coolant pressure adapter would arrive before my dealer received the new CTR869 super long ratchets, as I don’t have self control, but I didn’t make it in time. They got me.

I couldn’t resist!

I couldn’t resist the Matco 20% off ratchet sale! 3/8” drive BFR98LFR.

Here are a few more of my solutions. Schaller bins. They are great!! My screwdriver drawer includes four organizer types: 1) original plastic trays for some, like the Snap-on picks and Facom screwdrivers 2) heavily modified blow molded cases. The Mac bit set originally had a lid and was...
