Stubby triple square set and a not stubby triple square. Got the Snap on bit set because it was on promo, I'm always losing them.

SO SAE 6 point double ended stubbies. looking for the matching 6 point metrics if anyone has a set they want to part with at a decent price.

a few pairs of Grip-On's. they came as a set with a wall mount but it somehow got trashed in shipping. The pliers got knicked up a fair bit as well due to the way Grip On packaged the sets from the factory, or so I'm told. Waiting for a replacement now and have an axial plier set on the way as well.

Not impressed with that air hammer. It dosnt have a lot of power

Like I said, I don't own a muffler shop. If I did, I'm sure I'd want something more powerful. But this one will certainly meet the needs for my occasional home shop use.

Used Snap-On air hammers go on ebay for at least $50, and they're usually beat to heck.

Nice grip-ons... Gray Tools' current flyer has them on special for cheap!

I always forget to check their flyer. They're a little cheaper than what I paid but still pretty close. May have to stop into the local distributor when I'm in the city tomorrow to see if they have those ergogrip ones in stock.

And 11mm ratcheting wrench. Took it out of the bag, put it on a E14 bell housing bolt and smacked it with a deadblow. Took it right off no complaints.

That's a nice truck. I'm in Dexter and am willing to trade you a rusty 99 S-10 and half a box of Little Debbie Nutty Bars for it.:thumbup: But seriously, that is a nice truck, even the color I like. I don't know if you've ever owned one before, if not, pay attention to the galvanizing on the oil pan. It starts to get bubbles in it as rust forms under the galvanizing, waiting for just the right time for the paper thin coating to chip open and piss out all the oil. Every one I've had did this.

I have purchased a good amount of tools since my last post in here. I will to do a new update soon of my new box and tools.

For now, here's what I picked up yesterday. I purchased the extensions and the rest was free, plus he ordered a free tank top and tee for my fiancee.

It needs a oil pan gasket. Pan is mint but I was planning on a thick coat of paint when its off

Sears Craftsman Medium Duty Air Hammer. Composite body with a nice, solid feel. "Assembled in USA". $34 online. I'll match it up with some ebay Snap On chisels. I don't work in a muffler shop. It should last me forever.

That air hammer will serve you just fine. I've used mine on many truck/car restoration jobs removing sheet metal, body channel supports and what not.

Do have an extra spring as they do distort over time with exponential hours of use

regulator was free from Parker. Milton fittings I already had, I ordered the gauge off Amazon I thought it would be made in USA like the regulator and couplings but it was made in China.

edited for that reason.


I like the larger o.d. of the ratchet. The spinners could be bigger; I'll compare them to my SO spinners some time.

I wasn't paying attention and didn't realize the 3/8" handles were two (of differing lengths) so that was a nice surprise.

Seems like nice quality stuff.

I am sorry, I should have been clearer. Regulator came from Parker without a gauge or fitting made in USA. I bought the gauge off Amazon, the description lead me to believe it was made in USA and for $12 it should have been.

Bought a 50 ton Ramco press today for $200. The dude cut the legs to fit it into a shed for some reason. So I cleaned them and welded them back before I even unloaded it from the truck.

Curious what your plans are to use those crows feet on? I was thinking about getting the metric set at $100 sounds like a deal but couldn't figure what I would use them for.

On the end of a flex-head wrench to do powersteering hoses on a Cryler Sebring. Possibly at the end of a break bar to help break tie rod jam nuts loose.

We've had some recalls with the brand I work on that we used crows feet on torque wrenches to check tightness on suspension linkages. No real way around using a crows foot for that if your going to do it the right way.
