There are multiple brands that were using the High Five 72 tooth mechanism that is a very compact mechanism. Carlyle and Blackhawk to name a couple but there are others using the same head. Tone was mentioned above as another example. I have multiple variations on it and like them a lot...

The main criteria for me is whether I've already paid for something that works just fine for my needs or am I looking into something I don't already own. I worked with hoses and cords my entire working life so if what's already paid for works, I'd rather spend money on something I need but don't...

This reminds me of my dad and a lot of his buddies calling Channellocks or groove joint pliers "dogs." For some reason, as a kid growing up, I found that amusing.

Sigh. It just never ends. Note to Notgrownup: Buy whatever you want. Use them the way you want. Enjoy them. Don't worry about the busybodies that know so much more than anyone else and can't wait to prove it. Congratulations on your new tools.

There's a bare spindle that makes me think there was a pulley of some sort and the arm is a tensioning weight. My gut says belt sander.

I've never been an auto tech but I would have to say innovation and availability. While others may have narrowed the gap in innovation, Snap-On has always seemed to be on the leading edge of tool innovation as mechanical technologies and assemblies have advanced and evolved. And, of course...

I have Tekton and they serve me well. I picked up a set of Titan dirt cheap one time and they were very stiff and clunky mechanism. They have got better with ATF soaks and usage but they realy aren't what I would consider good. Adequate at best but they were on discount and I had Amazon credits...

I bought a set of Quinn (I think) at HF with the thought that I had them if needed and would upgrade if they got used much. They don't get used at all. They're still there if needed, though.

Tool Haus tool of the week. Not a bad deal if you need them. https://hausoftools.myshopify.com/products/gedore-6730210-combination-pliers-180-mm?utm_source=Klaviyo&utm_medium=email&_kx=0QtDaqBSWznBHzegTGjkMD7Nn-LbKbLbxmkcz0fEBRw.UfCVye

I have mostly older Proto but bought two of the newer Channellock adjustables. They're pretty much slop-free. Well made, in my opinion. If I was looking for new, reasonably priced adjustable wrenches I would probably buy them. I actually use them on occassion and very rarely used the Proto's...

Those impact sockets look a lot like the ones Tekton used to sell. I've used the hell out of mine.

I ordered the tool cleaner/ hand cleaner combo as well as some of the sanding discs on separate orders. Both orders were delivered within 3 or 4 days. Pretty fast for free stuff.

No.

I have been helping my brother on a project in his shop and noticed our fathers old anvil by his bench. I haven't seen it in years. I'm sure Dad got it at a farm auction back in the 60's.

Blackhawk sold them at one time also. I think Powerbuilt still does in limited configurations.

Those are nicely marked.

These were on sale really cheap a couple years ago. I bought a set because of the price but they've never been used so I can't attest to the quality.

Those Proto 90 tooth ratchets are excellent. Very pricy but excellent.

Right on. Buy what you want with YOUR money. Nobody else's business.
