Here is a pic of mine. It arrived in a box with part of another box taped with my address. Not sure, but my guess is it busted out of the original box and they repacked it. It was just knocking around in the box, but no damage. It is a vise after all.
I ordered it 8/1 and it arrived 8/11.

I received my $99 Duratech 40amp plasma cutter and it works fine. C$216 delivered to my door includes shipping and handling. I'm happy!
Edit; Be aware that its 2 minutes cutting, 8 minutes recovery. 20% duty cycle.

It "hums" because it doesn’t know the words to the song!

So I think what will happen is that the air won't blow the melted metal out of the way as well. There was a definite difference between the 120V and 240V. If I remember tomorrow I'll hook up my small compressor and see what happens.

The air also keeps the tip cool.

Got it.
I’ve been moving away from non reversing Gearwrench ratcheting wrenches, but for $5.00, in 2025, why not?
I’ll use it.
I've been mucking around leveling a new lathe and came across these. They're a bit much for my application but thought it was a good deal for either 2 or 4. Saves your knees if using a long neck ratchet:
Save yourself some headaches and order a few tips from the same maker. I've got two machines from different companies that take the same tip but one won't work well w/the knockoff tips while the other one does.I received my $99 Duratech 40amp plasma cutter and it works fine. C$216 delivered to my door includes shipping and handling. I'm happy!
kind of. You're increasing your cutting capacity and/or speed by bumping the amperage so it needs more air to move more material and keep the tip cool. You're creating plasma so think of it like a waterjet, you need more mass/plasma for more cutting. Having said that, I've run mine on a rinky dinky compressor that's way undersized for what it's called and the only issue I've seen is the duty cycle of the compressor being annoying so less consistent cutting as it discharges. This Aussie/NZ guy has some good tips on plasma cutters:
For those of you that got it, run it on 120 and report, I'm curious if it's accurately spec'd and when it pops a breaker.

Just got an empty box from amazonjp yesterday. Order 6/9- box "delivered" 8-13...
First time I have had a bad shipment from amazonjp. Box was destroyed with giant holes in all corners.
Spoke with customer services, he states he can not re-order the item only refund me my purchase price.
Still listed for $59 with free shipping if you select seller amazon japan 1/2 push button zeal ratchet 4725zb Now stating ships in 1-2 months. Hope come October the box holds up.
Playing the long game on this one.

Hooked up a 2.1 scfm compressor. It works fine for short amounts of time. I had the compressor at 120psi and the plasma at 80psi. I'm cutting 1.25" x3" channel.

Be aware that its 2 minutes cutting, 8 minutes recovery. 20% duty cycle. For the price I'm not complaining, but I will look at duty cycle a lot closer in future.
Edit; its 25%, so 2.5 minutes cutting...

Still beats a hacksaw, I suppose.

My apologies, its 25% at 40amps.This is from the manual.
I'm running it at 40amps, 240V. So 25% is 2.5 minutes instead of 2 minutes. Still something to be aware of.

More if you aren’t cutting at the full 40 amps, though.

It's 100% duty cycle if you're not cutting.
Here's others w/a bit more oomph in that price range; these will pop breakers at 120 though unlike the duratech. I'm personally a fan of the built in regulators accessible in the front so I don't have to reach in the back. Pressure regulators do go bad though so servicing might be a bigger hassle.

Very nice biometric gun safe for bedside, etc.
-$48.99 w/code DEP7EH73 at checkout
Eneloop AAA prices seem to have come way down. At one point they were over $3 per battery, but very recently dropped to about $2 each.

...As was junkuma.
My thinking is they have to come up w/random names to not infringe on copyright so they just let AI do it.

I work for a testing/inspection/certification body and was just at a trade show.
One of these Chinese manufacturers approached us with the products they’re launching on Amazon… all with these nifty made up brand names (multiple brands).
I wanted to ask him how they come up with these names - but needed to maintain my work life professionalism.

About $10 off on the ratchet crimper and 6 dies for various connectors.
I use this for all my low intensity auto and trailer stuff and think it works pretty decently.
And the blow molded case is nice and fits a pair of wire strippers.

Amazon has a pretty good deal on a few of these Craftsman Overdrive sets.
Lowes will match these prices as well if you prefer to buy local.
This one is around $120 at most places. Priced at $69.
Not a lot of comparisons on this set but Ace has it for $159. Amazon price is $72.29 with coupon. For the price, I like this set better than the Versastack one.
The sockets in the sets are nice and look to be modeled after the Mac RBRT sockets. Ratchets are run of the mill but they work.

The real deal on Craftsman overdrive if you want a socket set is this one which is $100 off
So $280 for the big set with 284 pieces. It has plastic trays which is how I keep my set but it doesn't have a case.
For hauling around they have some in cases

plugs have gotten oddly expensive at the big box stores and these were decent enough. I guess stampings could've been a bit thicker gauge:
