Nice haul, Ryan!

Picked up an Amprobe Infrared Themometer at Lowe's for $7.95. Granted it's no Fluke but it's accurate enough for my simple needs.

Just grabbed this KRA 488 cart of the local CL yesterday....cleaned it up a bit and cut some liners from rubber laying around the shop. It's well worn, but the price was fair and it will be perfect for my purposes.

I have the same cart - I like it now that the casters aren't falling off.

Them UT22's just keep on piling up, just got another Canadian made one with a shiny SO emblem. That's two within a year! The best part? It's almost mint (save for some rust on the side of the top cover) for a whopping $25, AND it was delivered to my house!. :willy_nil

It aint much but it I needed it to get my Wide Band O2 Sensors installed. My first Crowsfoot Wrench, never used one before but have to admit it was damn handy!

Ryan, looks like you went garage saling!

vogelj · Jul 29, 2013

Picked up some Snap ON ratchets! I still need to change the handles.

John in OH · Jul 29, 2013

Finally got fed up with my old under-sized floor jack and jack stands so picked up a new set on sale at NAPA last weekend. A 3-1/2 ton floor jack and two 4 ton jack stands.

Went over to my friends today. Asked if I could try these out as I was thinking of buying a pair. He walks over to his tool box and hands them to me and says "Thanks for being a good friend"

So far the crimpers are good but the wire strippers ****. Im trying on stranded wire and it just tears the jacket up. They may need warrantied for this. They will be perfect for my job since im in the field all day and they are small.

odd... most i do is stranded and never had an issue. Yes, I'd try warrantying them or at least try out a new pair on the tool truck to see if the pair you got is a dud. good luck!

Mine are doing the same thing. When looking from the side does it look like this

USA made c-man screw drivers. I didnt like the way the professionals felt. To me the plastic felt cheaper, and the rod was very flimsy thats why I settled on these.

$14 bucks on amazon, I only plan on using these for my bushing install.

$109 on amazon for the 4 set of dollys. They had great reviews and seem like they will get the job done. It is for the jag that is staring it down.

My main screwdriver set is an old all black, hex shank craftsman pro set. MUCH nicer than the new red plastic ones IMHO. I had to replace the smallest flat head and I am not happy with the new red plastic style.

Not just one but two! If those were 30" deep there would probably be one in my garage right now...

cosmik binturong · Jul 30, 2013

got my second parcel from the great MoWoMoToCo shop in Hamburg* today!

first, a pair of Wisent stainless steel scrapers:

an HaWe-branded contour/profile gauge:

made in Japan! :thumbup:

a nice french-made Toom paintbrush for my Gressel vice:

a cheapo Festool long bit kit:

somewhat assorted Gedore punches:

and another Gedore-branded (but made by Felo!) magnetized hex bit holder:

that's it for today!

craftsman industrial 23 & 25 mm

Jawn · Jul 30, 2013

Taiwanese 13" 16 speed drill press. It's a beast of a benchtop press... runs under 200rpm at its slowest. Square shown for scale is 24x16. Nice shape except for the (plastic) table raising crank is broken. I'll have to make a new one (from metal) for it.

The best part? It was $65.

(pardon the mess... I moved a few months ago)

This came in at the end of last week, I spent all weekend making the cart for it which is still in progress!

So far I'm very impressed with this machine!

Actually I don't really see anything to make fun of. Can you weld the next one out of position with mainly vertical up and, overhead welds?

Woohoo thanks! I'm an amateur and pretty new to this kind of thing but I am happy with how this project has turned out so far!

Hako86 · Jul 31, 2013

These tools came in a few days ago :bounce:

. I bought my first Craftsman stuff (USA made of course), so now I have a good quality SAE socket set too. The only thing that disappoints me is the chrome finish, on some spots there is no chrome or it has already come off. I also bought my first Gearwrench and I must say it looks really well made. The chrome finish is very good (as good or even better than my Kraftwerk tools) and I think Gearwrench are great tools for the money you pay for it.
I haven't had a chance to try them out, but I will very soon :evil:

New Snap On items from ebay, Talon Grip pliers (597CF), Long bent needle-nose (411bcp) and 3/8" torque wrench (5# to 75#, QJFR275D). The pliers were brand new as far as I could tell. Torque wrench lightly used. All about 1/3 of list.

Wrenchette · Jul 31, 2013

Bought at a pawn shop for $75. The BP set is brand new and it doesn't appear that the Matco noid light set has been used very much. $50 for the BP set and $25 for the Matco, still $10 less than the same U.S. General set from HF. :lol_hitti

While the BP set is Taiwan, it seems to be good quality. The Monkey Ward Kastar wrench was free, has a 1985 SO date code on the back, it's hilarious when I say my C-Man and Monkey Ward ratcheting wrenches are the same as Snap On and show people the date codes. :lol:

Outlander · Jul 31, 2013

Thanks to the search function and the need to rewire my trailer plug on the truck, I realised I needed a new set of crimpers. So, on sale at Canadian Tire this week for $22 are these Channellocks. My first Channellocks - "ahhhh". Here they are with the old ones which served me well for years...the years before Garage Journal!! I made sure I tucked them in before bedtime.

I bought the Snap-on XLE605 5-Piece Torx Box Wrench Set. These will come in handy for all the e-torx bolts on my Saturn. This was the most complete set I found and it was USA made.

I didn't know they made wrenches for external torx.
