For reasons I will not explain, I either post this now or after Christmas, so you get it now. I am uncertain how long I need to travel but I cannot take much with me and I do not want to wait a week after Christmas to do this, which would put me on GJSS naughty list! I do anticipate having...

My Secret Santa last year put me on to certain Proto stuff. Love Proto!

I have no tree this year so this picture is of a received package not under a tree.... So here is package number two... Came just in the neck of time because I need to leave town soon.

I have the Montana branded set (https://www.montanabrandtools.com/products/3pc-plug-cutters) also available in places such as Woodcraft, tractor supply, and Rockler. I bought my set direct. I also have some from a different maker but for this I use the Montana brand.

I will be out of town so will post my reveal photos before I head out of town after I open my box (I am all a-twitter).

Voice to text.... Steel!

All the mahogany types I've worked with have been soft... But have not worked many just a couple.

A personal favorite of mine

It would be 0.05mm undersized. I'm sure it matters right? :cool: And you know it never hurts to mention it (that they are the same) cuz even if you know you might not even think about it if you're not regularly just doing the substitution.

I still have and use my cordless Milwaukee stuff that I purchased at Sears... I'm sure that was just last year.... (Narrator says it was before his 20-year-old daughter was born... And probably before he was married...)

Without checking, and I'm not home so I can't check, I'm pretty sure I made one out of a cotter pin...

op said he was repairing an. Old Craftsman. Nice snap on does not need them on a rebuild kit. The tool is better than the different tools I built. I used the tool after cleaning and adding new lube to old USA ratchets.

If you really are going to repair this ratchet, it's the one I think it is. I've had a couple of those apart. I recommend getting a Snap-On SPP-744. It really helps in reassembly. I have built my own tools to do it, but if you can get one just do it. If you search this forum it is mentioned...

Not a chance that could be true.... Oh wait, maybe...
