I just bought this Etekcity MSR-C600 auto ranging clamp multimeter for 25 off eBay from their eBay store.


Great little unit for the price, and it comes with a case and lanyard.

Hazet wheel lug sockets. The three in the set are made in Germany. The socket rotates inside the sleeve. Very nice. The green 22 mm socket does not say made in Germany and is a different design that doesn't allow the socket to spin inside the sleeve. :-(

The green sleeve is pulled free in the pic below - not its normal position.

Those look nice! Are they thin wall sockets? Is there any chance you could take a pic from the hex end showing the wall thickness? I've been looking for a nice set of wheel nut sockets. Thank you.

A few new additions arrived today.
- 21mm / 21.5mm flip socket
- 3/8"dr and 1/2"dr Craftsman RHFT kits because these are apparently becoming hard to find and I have a bunch of these ratchets. None that currently need a kit but you never know.
- Klutch 3/4" dr ratchet. Extendable from 19" to 31". Northern wants ~$100 for it. I probably wouldn't have paid that for it. But for the $45 ($31 winning bid on ebay + $14 sh) I figure it's worth a shot. 'pre-owned' but looks new. FWIW it doesn't feel as chintzy as I thought it might. Both the ratchet-head and the extendable bar seem pretty solid.

Heh, just a little so far. :) Just enough to decide it can have a place in the drawer. Figured it probably couldn't be any worse than the china-made craftsman ratchet I have (initial impressions are it might even be a little better) and the extra length could be useful if/when i do need it.

Thankfully I don't have to yank on a 3/4dr ratchet or bar as much as I used to. Back in the day before >700ftlb cordless impacts when I actually did have to use 3/4" dr hand tools regularly it was always out in the field with generic ratchets/bars/sockets that only said 'China' and the size on them. They always held up for me though. Unlike smaller drive sizes, even the really cheap 3/4dr stuff can be pretty forgiving if you don't have to get too ugly with it.

AMPG metric transfer screw set m6, m8, m10, m12. Made in USA. From Zoro for around $58 but I got it for $46 with no-minimum-purchase promo code. I only use them a few times a year but they are invaluable when you need them. I like the gerth of the transfer pins. My coworker gave $70 for Chinese made with skinny transfer pins.IMG_20180620_190012942_LL.jpg

Human bandaids with that kitten image on them. I'm into cats... you have to know me to see the humor. I also have two garage cats... ones name is Weirdo... the others name is House Cat.

Oh yeah. How could I forget? Now I recall some of your previous profile pictures of cats were sort of terrifying. :bounce:

I may as well post this in this thread. Something I modeled and whipped up on my 3D printer at work today.

A holder for my Ullman pic set. It's got magnets inlayed inside of it to keep the pics from moving. More details in the 3D printing thread. :)

Matco EZ Solder Clamp

Edit: @ Michael_in_DE,
How do you like it so far? How do you use it? One hand to hold the handle, one hand to turn the knob, and one hand to use the soldering iron/gun/torch? :)
Click to expand...

I have not used it yet, but love the concept, and seems to work well. But you hold it with one hand and the thumb on that hand turns the knob which makes the solder come out right into the clamped wire joint. your other hand uses the Iron. :beer:

New tools! Got the Knipex long reach pliers to fill out the Knipex drawer, along with a random pair of Stahlwille pliers that were on sale and a Wera bottle opener. Wanted to compare the Knipex to the Protos. Verdict: a bit lighter, but seem more precisely built and easier to open and close.IMG_20180621_211747834.jpgIMG_20180621_211900258.jpg

Not really a tool, but I got the stainless top for my krl761 today. I’ve had this for 13 years with just the original rubber mat on it.
