Might I ask what press ? Or you have a link to where you talked about it prior ?Normally the only magnets that excite me are those from Rock Auto, but these are really nice which helps to keep things square to the tooling.

I only posted it in my "shop" thread nowhere else but it's a Langmuir 25T Titan
Kwik Fab's Small Shop
Customer sent me pics of them about to get tacked up and welded. Front panel needs to be bent.

This weeks additions. On the SO truck i
I Bought the diagonal cutter set, he had the Cornwell wrench set on the floor for a couple weeks. I asked how much, he said $100. Basically new. Also I’m a sucker for Klein special editions.

I had each of those in my hand at Lowe's. Don't think I could keep the white parts white, but if they come up on sale, I'll reconsider.

How do you like it? Seems like a great set to keep by my desk.My 2nd time posting about this discontinued set. These are $36.99 at Napa right now under their monthly special. Can’t imagine they have many more.
I think it's very nice set. Can't believe not sold out yet at that price. They must have A LOT of stock.
Another BMW specialty tool.
... setting camber angles on a handful of BMW models (which BMW claims are not adjustable).
Video Link on how it's used.
The video shows slotted strut hat holes on that E46. I have never noticed that before.

It's good to see you posting here again. I always enjoyed seeing what you've been up to. Hope all's well with you and yours.

Just arrived!
It's the backgauge for my CNC press brake.

All of my BMWs (and other makes too) have had slightly oval or oblong strut top mounting holes. I think that E46 may have been clearanced a bit more. But you only need a few mm of adjustment to get everything evened out most of the time. For anything more aggressive you’d still want camber plates, at least on the E90 chassis.

Fujiya 210-190-BG angle jaw, thin nose, slip-joint pliers
$27.95 - Harry J. Epstein
Initial impression: I'm impressed. This is an updated twist on the original H.D. Smith "Gettatit" pliers, but re-engineered for current day engine compartments with no room to work in. One for me, one for my buddy. We'll see how he likes them.

I have found a speeder handle with a bit adapter is absolutely perfect in these situations. Given how deep down in the box it was buried, I bet I've used it more after my Granddad passed than he ever did.
Also, my list now has a a 1/4 inch speeder, as well as a good quality bit holder for 1/4 drive (as my cheapo Kobalt doesn't hold them well).

Looks like I now know what's gonna be added to the large-ish order I'm making in a few days. Recently had a bit of a headache with my grandmother's EGO weed eater--the string jammed, and I can't just take out the drum like on any other weedeater we've got. I pulled the Tsunoda PLC-150Us out of my pocket, and they weren't thin enough to get to the string.

On my way back from The Glass Candle earlier, I stopped by my buddy's place and dropped off the Fujiya pliers and some other things.
He thought they were pretty nifty.
We both like that skinny-skinny action going on there.
Those look a lot like my Hozan JIS set.I don't have any JIS screwdrivers... Until today ...
This Vessel set of 4 arrived today... I'm impressed for $20.00
Seem like pretty nice quality...

Past couple days
Reversible ratcheting 16mm wrench and a green magnetic pad from Snap-On.
Aluminum socket rails from Menards.
1/4” impact sockets set that goes up to 11/16 from Tekton.
I have decided I don’t care for Tool Box Widget socket pegs. I like being able to pick up the entire set and taking it to whatever I am working on.
I will be selling the TBW 1/4, 3/8 and 1/2 socket pegs cheap very soon.

My latest tool pickups...
Klein Toolrunner bag (love it! Great deal at $100)
Klein Flickblade knife with bit driver, $20 (don't love it, prefer the regular flick blade at $10)
Klein Fastbit bit driver, $17 (I actually prefer the Vessel 2200MBH120, but the Klein's are great for go-bags)
Some additional Quinn sockets for my go bags... 1/4", 3/8", and 1/2" metric deeps. $31 sale price for all three of them.
Videos online if you want to see more, otherwise just scroll on by and treat them like just another picture!

I have plenty of Snap-On tools, but not their reversible ratcheting wrenches. And although I have several other great sets, I will admit I get a little pang of jealousy every time I see them... Of course I'd have to have the whole set, and that $600 price tag for 10 wrenches keeps the green monster in check.

I see the Snap-On man every other week when he stops at a friends bodyshop.
I pick up the reversible wrenches one at a time. Over the past several months I have almost put a full set together. By mid-summer I should have a complete set up to 19mm put together. I did the same thing with SAE ratcheting wrenches last year.
It’s an easier to swallow a bite at a time….lol

Received my recent Woot! purchase.
I know what you mean! Way easier to justify spending $100 five times then $500 all at once!
There are other screwdrivers from Hozan I have that are definitely produced by Vessel. So I guess between that and this, they probably use Vessel for all their drivers. My Hozan pliers are some favorites of mine, and I suspect they are supplied by Japanese manufacturer 3peaks. I wonder what Hozan makes?! I have a Hozan P-707 crimp tool that is pretty nice for misc small Japanese connectors. So far I have not seen it anywhere with another brand label on it.
Other than the printing on the handles, they are exactly the same. They even have the same circle, from inside the handle molds. They are more pronounced on yours than on mine.

The box says JAPAN ORIGIN but those are made in Thailand, no?

Todays car boot purchase, all for £10, used, a little bit dirty but in good condition, Hazet, Elora, Koken, Milwaukee, Sealey, Halfords and Snap-on 
A new place for my rear end.
The one of the left has been through a lot - I replaced the casters not too long ago after one of them snapped. But in between that I got the one on the right and have only sorta-liked it: It's a little large, not very comfortable (IMHO), has no grab-handle and the tray is somehow less useful than the old guy.
The new one has a drawer and a sectioned bottom tray. The cushion is firm but way more comfortable than either of the others. Nice solid casters, so should be OK on the pebbly driveway. I was surprised how heavy the box was - this thing is pretty beefy. Have some stuff to do early next week, so it will get tested fairly quickly.
The Icon magnetic mat fits perfectly in the bottom of the drawer

Nice, this was just released by HF apparently. I have the older icon version, but it has a larger footprint.
You said the casters are good, how is the seat vinyl? And the draw slide? I have $25 HF cash and I might use it in this tomorrow.

"There are some men you just can't reach."
Yeah - new on the site in the last few days, and my store had to pull it from the back. Definitely more compact than the older one, which I found over-large in several ways
The seat covering is a pebbled faux-leather - definitely an improvement on feel vs. the hard rubber of the older Icon seat. I guess we'll see if it is hard to keep clean. The drawer slides are pretty basic, but they are metal. The drawer itself is plastic (I think).

Good to know. I’ll check it out at my local store tomorrow since they show as in stock there.
I’m mostly after a smaller footprint and the draw is a bonus.
