I ordered the 4725ZB from that exact link on 2/25/25 ($57.31). It finally got to me on 3/30/25. It was worth the wait. I think the prices trend towards lower when they are out of stock but due back soon. I seem to get my best Amazon pricing on stuff in that state.Koken 1/2 ratchet with release button (4725zb) now $59

Not an all time low, but low price and ships free from amazon japan when you use amazon.com Buying from amazon japan puts it about $80 after shipping...
I just sent for one, found it when comparing the gedore kit on zoro for similar $ with 1/2 ratchet.
UPS charges Amazon for home pickup, so Amazon shifted the final mile on returns back to the customer. UPs dropoff locations are set up to handle bulk returns, the delivery trucks aren't.
I just got back from dropping off an eBay return. FedEx authorized shipper wouldn't take it ( some BS about the QR code) so I had to take it to Walgreens. The neon haired associate with a full half acre of tattoos and multiple facial piercings was very helpful.Right, but I could not drop off at the local ups facility. Where the semi loads are sorted and put on the trucks. It has a small retail storefront that is open select hours for shipping or getting packages held. I also could not give to the driver that picks up everyday at my work. "Final mile" for me was 45 miles each way not counting lunch detour. Had to drive an hour to another town to return, take the wife to lunch 20 minutes further away, then drive back home. Ended being 3.5 hours that I should have been working on customers projects and $60 in fuel and lunch. I would have been money ahead to use then for targets or toss in the trash. Only returned on principal.

Years ago.Did you buy before or after the bankruptcy?

It may be better to buy the one with the wiring harness, unless you've already got wire or something to use.

Also, now that I received the orange outlets, it turns out they have an isolated ground and are not a "regular outlet, but just orange in color". What do I do with them? They require a separate ground wire per a thread I started in the electrical forum.


Orange was used in our industry to indicate a dedicated circuit for computer equipment, servers, switches, ect. Nothing else was to be plugged in, otherwise it was just a normal outlet.Just got my outlets in, these are normal 20A receptacles just orange colored, unless you didn't receive CR20-O. The color of receptacle body is not an indication of its use, although it might be common for some industries to use certain colors. The certification requirement for receptacles with Isolated Ground is to have an orange triangle visible on the face of the receptacle. Leviton makes isolated ground receptacles in a variety of colors (including orange) but these are not them.

Normal outlet, just orange
To keep this on track... the orange outlets are back in stock but back up to $15.75

I didn’t really need any more torx drivers right now, but these Tekton red hard handles are cool and this sale price was a good excuse to get some.
$20.80 for the set of 6; T10, T15, T20, T25, T27, T30.

I flinched when I saw the insulated screwdrivers from vevor.lolNo thanks.
Avoid "Vevor" like the plague.
It's bad news, @ching0n - seriously:
Please see this thread for details.
Those have square handles.... That has to be awful to use... I've never seen a screwdriver with square handles

That makes more senseThose insert into the actual handle shown in the box.
I've seen some in this style (appears to be a similar style of the welded forged unit that's rebadged under different names) bu was unsure if these cast units were any good. Thanks for confirming.Yost ADI-8 vise currently on sale with a 30% coupon.
This is a lot of very good vise for the money. I've used an ADI-4 for about 5 years and like it more than the USA-Made Reed I have in the same shop.
I finally got around to using this thing and it's pretty awesome, those V-grooves are super handy. Had to drill dead centerish into a 1/2" drive shaft and this made it a breeze w/o needing any parallels to raise it. It felt like it did tighten a bit cocked but just gave it an extra cinch and no problem.
They're legit, I just bought the ADI-8 with the coupon because I've had such a good run with my ADI-4 and the only gripe I've ever had about it was that sometimes the throat depth and opening range wasn't quite enough for whatever I was doing.was unsure if these cast units were any good. Thanks for confirming.
I just saw a Wilton (and Vevor) w/reversible Jaw for more throat depth in a similar style.They're legit, I just bought the ADI-8 with the coupon because I've had such a good run with my ADI-4 and the only gripe I've ever had about it was that sometimes the throat depth and opening range wasn't quite enough for whatever I was doing.
I have a Wilton with the reversable jaw. I picked it up probably 6 years ago at Princess Auto on clearance for $100. Just started using it 6 months ago. Light use so far and haven't needed the reversable option yet. I like the flat anvil.I just saw a Wilton (and Vevor) w/reversible Jaw for more throat depth in a similar style.

These came in, level in blow molded caseno shame, I had my doubts late last night about posting them since you could die if ****** insulation.
https://www.amazon.com/Suwimut-Mach...oodworking/dp/B0DK95H67B?tag=atomicindus08-20 Seller above also has this set for a few dollars more; his product has better rating. I went w/these anyway.
You can pick up some vintage units of such device on ebay for about the same, just no case nor precision scale, just an FYI. I'm setting up a lathe (soon 2 lathes)
