Here's something I didn't get on HJE Day order...s. I had already amassed a full lineup of Torxdrivers in recent years. Wee ones, small old acetate-handled Craftsmans from HJE, a few Wiha I had picked up along the way, and then a hot steamin' deal on some "Craftsman" FACOM Torxdrivers from...

Anti-drug-addict-shoplifter clear case?

You did, 1,300 other people didnt! (Not exaggerating!) I'm thinking of it more like "Epstein Summer."

Uh... 1988 was a long time ago. Much like this, but I think mine came with a 15" ish pry bar on one end, alignment tool tip on the other end of the tool, too.

Here's a Mayhew punch set that I do not see at the HJE website. Would it sell? I really can't tell. But they are neat. Rather than use a half or less of the small round tip of your punch to knock a bearing race out of a drum, rotor, or differential housing, this is a punch with a wide tip for...

Had to run to the Underground Lair and check. Found this! 5/8" hex it is. But it is a line up tool. It is not a punch. Sears says so. My fingers detect a subtle burring on the big end, so at some point since 1988, I have hit this with a hammer. As a line up tool, I bet. The hunt...

Like this, which I see at ebay?

I think I got it at AutoZone! And the price seemed fair! Nowadays they seem expensive.

Can't I just use one of my tapered bearing race punches? Wait, this this thing 5/8" all over? Well, I might have something like that in brass, but tell me more! :D

This does not augur well for any thick boards, large posts, or dancing, Melanie-Griffith-impersonating women in your area. (Combined vocabulary and 40-year-old-movie reference joke.)

Horse-drawn log plane, making shingles:

I opened the drawer where punches and chisels and pry bars live, preparing to fight the forces of temptation! Yes! I don't need that 6 pc. Wilde roll pin punch set, I apparently already got these four from HJE in the past! And for a fair price, I'm sure. So now I can resist that purchase...

There! Now I can tell people Knipex pliers aren't expensive!

Sir! I can't have enough hammers, pliers, punches, chisels, prybars or ratchets! I have enough sockets! Okay, someday I might get wobble or U joint socket sets but for now I've lived a charmed enough life as to get by without them. Ditto the new tiny low clearance/special ring ratchet sets...

Oh, and back off topic: Which doesn't mean that both the Myanmar rebel and government aren't using drones against each other! Bombing, recon. The world has gotten kinda scary.

Nah, I'm good. No livestock here.

Don't you have enough sockets? (Said the guy still using his 1980's Craftsman sockets.)

Those are fencing pliers, right? I always knew what the hammer tip part was for, fencing staples. Is the pointy part for removing staples?

But not too much! They're in the part of the world that sews clothing for cheap!

Yes. When I started that google search last night I was looking for rebels in Bhutan. Last pic I had seen of muskets there was maybe 20 years ago, but that was also the last time I had read anything about tensions in Bhutan. (I may be misremembering which Himalayan nation it was. Tibet it...
