Good buys on both. Love that saw.

Yessir. I believe it. The week prior I had just replaced a cup style bearing at the bottom of the steering shaft on our Suburban. Upgraded it to one from Wolff Engineering. I think it could've come in handy there. I have other, blend door related shenanigans that I'll be using this on at some...

It's been an expensive couple of weeks sliding around these here United States. Most of these are from various tool trucks, a little HF, and a little eBay. I stopped to chat with a Mac dealer in Baltimore, Maryland. Ali was her name. A real sweetheart imo. I told her I couldn't warranty the...

I found a good deal on this General No. 20 Wire Gauge, as well as two more pieces on eBay for what a new wire gauge would have cost me. Not bad...

A little bit of Channellock goodness from a place I stop at in Pittsburgh. 2x 808W 8" adjustable wrenches. $18.95 Spain. 1x 422 9.5 inch tongue & groove pliers. $12.59 U.S.A. 1x 426 6.5 inch tongue & groove pliers. $7.99 U.S.A. I try to buy a few pair whenever I'm in town and use them to...

It's one of those tools that I don't see myself using often, but I think when you need it, it would be just the ticket.

Not even sure my order qualified as a HJE Day purchase, but that's the spirit it was made in. I bought a Wright 1/4" 6 point socket set in both shallow and deep, another loose socket to go along with it, and a diameter tape measure. Had to shotgun the order this time around. No box art...

Jumped on the bandwagon with the no brand Amazon push-pin pullers. They look like they'll work well, but I haven't tried them yet. My discounted eBay Carlyle roto-head bit ratchet finally came in too. Kudos to whoever posted about them here around a month ago or so. And a few tools of a...

So she'll go from Holland to Hollerin'? Got it. If a chunk of iron takes you out, it'll be a saucepan instead of the strut compressor...

Best of luck on your recovery @willf650

Shouldn't have to do it, but soldering the crimps might fix the problem. Kind of like using lead to fill body panel gaps on hot rods.

I intended to make a post showing several of my new tool purchase, but evidently there's a backlog and I have about 45-50 photos to show. 😲 So, rather than post it all up at once I figured I'd better do it in small chunks. General No. 21 Sheetmetal Gauge (Paid more for an old stock U.S. made...

Deleted. Posted in the wrong thread! Sorry!

Remember that when it comes time for the little blue pill... Some modifications are pretty vital.

The best tools are the modified ones. They don't make the best tool for EVERY task yet...enter Mother Necessity.

Uh...trucker here. As much as I enjoy Astro Tools, I'd like to respectfully withdraw my application to assist your R&D Team in exchange for free tools. I've seen more than one rig hanging from a bridge and don't want to try it for fun. 😁

I'm just working with a Harbor Freight Scissor Lift that goes to 58" high, but yes! Way less pain than working on your back in the driveway.

S.U.R.&R. sells two sizes of rubber cups that fit around your oil filter and prevent it dripping all over you and everything else... They also sell an Oil Plug gasket and o-ring kit as well as a kit of copper crush washers for banjo bolts on your brake calipers. Annnnd they sell a 4 piece set...

I use them on vintage Kee push mowers! They have bicycle style wheels and need a cone wrench for the nut at the back of the spindle. I bought the full set of Park cone wrenches.

Every so often we'll have a small leak under the house and have to slice and splice a new section in. So rather than using my larger, ratcheting style pvc cutters, I decided to try out the smaller, non-ratcheting style. Whichever one I like least will go to one of my sons. 😁 I decided to buy...
