Popping in with a couple comments but first, I'll just say I came across this thread a few months back and spent some days reading through it bit by bit. Thanks for documenting so many interesting projects as well as sharing your life experiences with us. 1. Love the mix of "this will almost...

I'm a big fan of Barrina LED shop lights. They have been around for several years. When I moved into our current house, I decided I wanted to add 2 more strips of their 4' T8 LED lights. I was able to order the same style, lumens, and bulb temp that I had purchased 6 years ago. They had slightly...

Figured it's about time for another bump, still looking to acquire more of these.

Some more shop vacuum options https://slickdeals.net/f/18876751-6-gallon-husky-stainless-steel-wet-dry-vac-with-filter-hose-accessories-39-97-more-free-shipping

$30 at Wal-Mart, not going to be a world-beater but should be a decent budget option: Hart 6 gallon 5 peak HP stainless steel wet/dry vacuum with bonus car cleaning kit https://www.walmart.com/ip/HART-6G-5HP-SS-AE-VA/16343906587 Some comments from people who've previously purchased and/or...

Got my 3/8" spinner handle in today. Seems like pretty good quality, fit and finish are very nice and it is pretty hefty. Not marked with the country of origin but looking online, Teng Tools are supposedly designed in Sweden and manufactured in Taiwan. Also pictured is a 1/4" spinner handle...

Another vote for OTC, I've been very pleased with the fit and finish of their E-Torx sockets.

For those looking for a currently-available (and not astronomically priced) 3/8" option, this one from Teng Tools is available on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0001P0X4C?tag=atomicindus08-20 I've ordered one and should have it in a few days.

Snagged a few but still looking for more, let me know if you have any you're willing to part with.

Bump, still looking for more of these!

I'm looking to purchase any available Gearwrench socket rails of the "internal clip" style (see pics below). They used to sell these separately but no longer list those items on their website, and any retailers that still have active listings don't actually have any stock when I've contacted...

I agree with many of the comments above but I will offer that I've found the Olsa gearless mini ratchets to be a useful tool. Zero backdrag, zero slop, and a very compact head makes it my go-to when I've got a bolt or nut in a difficult to reach spot...

Another JIS option, I bought this Sunflag set a while back and really like it. Very solid construction and excellent fit and grip from the tips. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BG9QR6J2/?tag=atomicindus08-20

Olfa scissors, specifically these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001D3G51G/?tag=atomicindus08-20 Heavy duty without being heavy or clunky like snips. Short blades so you can make sharp curved cuts with plenty of leverage. Micro-serrations so it cuts through thick plastic rather than...

Craftsman RP combo wrench from the Danaher V/\ era. Logo side clearly stamped offset a bit, and there's a secondary issue if you look closely... Opposite side also shows offset stamping, secondary issue is a little more apparent... Ouch.
