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...

This puller set has been on my wishlist for nearly a decade, I finally splurged when my dealer got a deal at the Snap-on Franchisee Conference. I also picked up a few odds and ends to complete sets. The Ribe bits were also an SFC bargain.

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.
