I picked up a pair of Techangles last week. The 1/2" drive version I bought from a friend that was getting out of the car business. He sold it to me for $200, which was a steal. I liked it so much that I set out to find a 3/8" version too. Found one a few days later locally from someone else...

I bought one of these (https://www.ecstuning.com/b-schwaben-by-foxwell-parts/professional-bmw-mini-scan-tool/014020sch01a~scf/) to use on my family's many BMWs/Minis and I've really liked it so far. They go on sale fairly frequently. I got mine for around $150

Nice find! I wish I could find more Snap-on hard handles in the wild. I'm trying to make a set of all sizes, but with every driver being a different color. Right now I've got a yellow, red, black, and orange. Still got a long way to go.

Nice score. You ****!

Hot damn, cbacres! What a find... That's a you **** for sure.

I spot John Roderick in the lineup there. How'd you two meet? The Long Winters are one of my favorite bands, and John's an awesome storyteller. His podcasts are great and he seems like an endless source of trivia and knowledge. Seems like the perfect person to go on a road trip with.

Klein made some other tools as well. I've got a ratchet and socket set in a green tin similar to S-K.

I just got back from looking at the tool box. It's a lot rougher than I thought. The top drawer and bottom left drawer were both pried open. The bottom drawer I may be able to bend back into shape and then tack weld and be fairly satisfied. The top drawer is a lot more rough. It would probably...

Do you have a rough ballpark figure. I just got word from the seller that it's the bottom drawer in the center that's missing. I'm going to check it out in an hour and a half.

It’s Cranberry Red, which I think is a fairly standard color. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So I assume they just come primed? I'm figuring I'll need slides and a replacement lock/keys, which don't look to be too expensive. I haven't seen the tool box yet, so I don't know what drawers are missing/damaged, so I'm planning for the worst and expecting that it's the large drawers that...

Hey all, I'm considering purchasing a KRL7023 that needs some work. The seller hasn't posted photos yet, but apparently it was broken into and one of the drawers is missing and two of the others "need work". It's priced well enough that it could be worth the work to me of fixing it up. I can't...

Here's my only find from last week. I went to a sale last minute on Sunday evening. There were lots of little piles of tools everywhere in various five gallon buckets, tool chests, boxes, etc. Even though it was the last day of the sale, it looked like nobody had even picked through anything. I...

In for the giveaway.

Had some cool finds this week. On Wednesday I went to a sale for a widow who needed to empty a huge storage unit. Her husband was a machinist/mechanic. I was the only one there and had plenty of time to dig. I built a pile and asked her what she was looking for. She turned to her son for advice...

I have plans to do the same wireless charging setup with my E46. My only worry is that the wireless charger won't be able to charge it fast enough when it's being used for nav/music. I'm curious to hear your thoughts after living with it for a while.

Nice score! You ****

You **** on that breaker bar. I love Snap-on hard handle tools, and the pearl blue is beautiful!

I finally finished sorting through the free tool haul that filled the entire trunk of my car, plus a couple boxes in the rear seat. I had to throw a ton of it away since it was junk and then I filled a cheap little toolbox with the no name tools. I'll probably throw that on Craigslist for $10...

Did Plomb ever make any metric tools? Everything I've ever seen has been SAE. I don't know if they just never made them or if they're really rare.
