I have a Pittsburgh torque wrench, can confirm the CDI is substantially nicer. Both set torques accurately.

I filled out my upper size metric wrenches with singles from Armstrong, KD, and Kobalt USA at Cripe Distributing for pretty cheap.

Roll it over a bunch of steel dowels and then pull them out with a little wooden wedge action?

Worn finish tools is going to be the next patina car / aged guitar craze. Someday people will pay more for artisanal antiqued Icon gear.

I had to go out and look, it's actually a Central Hydraulics but I figured all the non-Super Duty jacks are pretty much the same. Doesn't like lifting full size trucks a whole lot but it does do it.

HF jacks are good actually, my 2 ton low profile is 15 years old now and I've been overloading it on gravel and doing all sorts of bad things to it. Only maintenance I've ever done to it is wipe off the dirt when it gets gross.

Got another Armstrong haul from Cripe today: Needed 21mm for lug nuts and everything else is mostly just because I thought it was cool. The ratcheting stubby bit driver is a gift for a friend, I really like mine.

If it's not on eBay, it's probably pretty rare.

That's the plan for my HF 5 drawer but right now it's all I got so it's 100% of my most used tools and weighs 200% of what it should. I do cars and pickup trucks now so I'd still leave 1/4, 3/8, and 1/2 drive in the top. It wouldn't be too crowded if I took the extensions and lesser used...

This year I'm buying all the presents, so I happen to know I'm finally getting my hands on a Knipex pliers wrench. Trying to score a mini toolbox from Harbor Freight for my miscellaneous drill bits and drill press gear but they're hot items this year.

That won't stop the recasters, they can't read! Seriously though, good call on the return. This goes on sale with more stuff at Harbor Freight for like $60.

All I have is a tool cart, but it's packed. I'd like a larger box to store the sometimes tools, and have some space left in the cart. Then I could gather what I need from the fixed box, put it in the cart, and take that to my work area.

I busted my FL80 doing the kind of stuff you get the L one for. Contacted Snap-on customer service, told them my wife got it for me for Christmas (true) and asked if they could send me a rebuild kit. They sent one out free of charge the next day. Pretty easy to replace all the parts, even comes...

Looks like there's only a deal for inside track members right now. Dropping a link to the price tracker because that's a good tool to have: https://hfpricetracker.com/tools/58782

I have a full set of the old style, metric and sae. They are excellent, never failed me and feel good in the hand as well.
