    Amazon Deals on New Retail Items - Post them!

    Great deal on a set of heavy chisels. I own (3) bought individually at different times. Note they are carbon steel vs Chrome Vanadium and do take a sharp edge after knocking off factory edge. Haven't used enough to determine edge retainability long term. The fatter rubber coated handle allows...

    Dental / surgical loupes

    Ask your dentist to quickly try his on. Explain your situation. Maybe get some pointers and pricing.

    Whatever size you buy, get more than one.

    I made a tool to install my AC clutch!

    For Globemaster and MIT tools, they arrived at their destiny. Typically they're stored separately so as to not contaminate the Snappies.

    Vacuum Extractor Pump Suggestions?

    I kept it simple with mine only capable of suction. Didn't have need for suction and pumpout capability much less the complexity and expense of an air driven one that required a compressor.

    Vacuum Extractor Pump Suggestions?

    I had a 7200(?) I got in early 2000's and had for over 10years, probably more like 15. I bought it from National Tool Warehouse and it cost about ~$75 total for pump and brake bleeder kit (~55 +~20). It was very reliable and I took it apart a few times for good internal cleaning and inspect pump...

That's why I posted the cheaper ebay one available. *** OOPS , sorry, missed shipping on that one.... I looked at so many ads I didn't catch that. Like I said initially, prices on...

    Vacuum Extractor Pump Suggestions?

    Do online search for fluid extractors. Boating supply shops sell them for boat oil changes. They've really gone up in price from what I've seen. I had a 6 or 7 liter Mityvac upright tank model for years that was great. Currently have a small 3 qt Liquivac that works OK (prices gotten stupid, I...

    Machinists level.

    I find it fascinating that something like a level can be designed and made to be so accurate. This reminds me that where I used to work, a company would come in and check calibration on our inspection tools/equipment. A guy was checking flatness on a smaller granite surface plate with an...

    Snap-On What is it - maybe aviation related

    Odd, I don't see any picture shown in the OP's opening post yet subsequent responses somehow identify it. That aside, the Navy just gave us 12" straight slot screwdrivers. Occasionally would see one of these more pocket sized, actual proper, tools...

    Amazon Deals on New Retail Items - Post them!

    going by the pictures, this brand and others on Amazon , the wall thickness at the corners of the hex broach on the larger sockets looks to be kind of thin and that's where they split. When searching for a small 1/2" set I noticed that issue on the pictures of many of these sets. Finally got a...
