Lowest price seen on my favorite bit holder $7.99

Good, but not great, magnet for fastener retention.

The great part is easy to use mechanical retention of 1" insert bits, in a slim package

If you've ever had to deal with square or torx bits sticking in the fastener (especially tapered ones like true robertson or Wera wedge torx) you'll appreciate this holder and it's 3"/12" siblings.

Have a bunch of the shorter ones from Lowe’s. They’re awesome. They’re my go to, unless I need longer or slimmer

GJ member @atikovi just posted his fancy-schmantzy new auto trim clip tool in the "new tools" thread, and I was compelled to dive down the rabbit hole:

Apparently manufactured by an outfit called "XENIVO" (not XENVO), and these trim clip pliers can be had as cheap as $7. bucks if you click the right link:

https://www.amazon.com/-/zh_TW/XENIVO-Car-Clip-Pliers/dp/B0GSQT3F7V?tag=atomicindus08-20

And no sooner did I add another one to my cart (for my buddy, since the one I just paid $13 for was the last one on the other page), I get this in my feed:

I guess slave labor gets cheaper every day.

 

[Etchase]

^And that’s with high tariffs! Imagine the money Lisle was making. I had to have those fancy ones. Thanks for making it only set me back $7.00. Some amazingly efficient manufacturing. Probably not many labor minutes in them at all.

 

[Madjik Man]

For $7, I'm in.

@four.cycle please report back on the quality of those plier sets, they look super useful. especially on older cars as well, where you really don't want to break any embrittled plastic bits and bobs, like electrical connects, etc if you can help it...

Thank you for this, used it today and was impressed. Im not a team yellow fan, but I guess even a broken clock is right twice a day :

These are really nice. They retain well, are easy to use, and are not huge so they work in somewhat confined spaces. I have these in multiple lengths.

quality?
they're designed for removing PLASTIC electrical clips.
how high a grade of steel do we need to deal with PLASTIC electrical connectors?
I mean.... If you want to pay Lisle price - like I did on the first set for $30 or so - go right ahead.
The cheapie Chinese ones work just as well from what I've been told.
We're not workin' on head bolts here...

I meant do they work well in use, like do the fit the clips and are they straight or whatever.

I'm not complaining about the price or the coo, etc. sometimes with specials tools they either work great or they kind of work 'meh' due to design or whatever...eg with hoseclamp pliers, they have many dfferent designs and some are better/worse based on pretty simple stuff... like them not fitting the clamp or being too bulky in the workspace...

I've got a ton of potential uses for thse and might just buy em on 'spec anyways...

 

[four.cycle]

^ Well... I gave a couple pairs of them to my buddy - the straight and angle-jawed models - and he loved them. Called me on the phone to explain to me how he'd managed to get a plastic cover re-installed on the bottom of a vehicle that had been ripped loose when the owner drove up onto a curb. (One of those plastic "shield" thingies underneath the vehicle held on by a number of plastic clips.)
NOT AT ALL the intended use for the tool, so I was kind of surprised.
But yes, they do work fine on the electrical connectors as well. I've found other uses for mine.
No reason to pay Lisle price for them, though - the PRC imports seem to get the task accomplished, and when you start price shopping on Amazon for "Speedwox" or "XENIVO" it becomes something of a no-brainer.

 

[tube_guy]

I've found that the angled electrical connector pliers in that set are sometimes angled in the wrong direction. The business ends of the pliers are made to interface with the connector release levers in one direction only. The straight pliers can just be flipped over when they need to be, but when the angled pliers are flipped over, the pliers angle reverses which doesn't always work out very well. Other than that, they really do work pretty well if you're careful with them. It's pretty easy with pliers to apply way too much force to an electrical connector and cause damage. Especially when the connectors are getting old and more brittle due to heat cycling. But for 8 bucks, it's a no brainer to buy. I bought the same set maybe 6 months ago and paid about 10 bucks for it. They've been worth that, for sure.

Listen up you CHEAP sons of *****.

Amazon Prime Day starts tomorrow and I expect you fellow cheap asses to post some tool deals.

This means you:

@zanyad

@ATC
@Outahere

Yes, I’m calling on you guys because you always provide me with ideas for tools I didn’t even know I “needed”.

I have visited many “tool Enthusiasts” groups online over the years and I must say that GJ has the greatest majority of cheap, sons of ***** that I’ve ever seen, so let’s give these people what they want (myself included)!

If I were smart, I'd take a day off tomorrow to make sure I get all tools I've never needed and save a fortune.
But I'm not that smart.

Well... I'll pick up the gauntlet...

GJ member @Fedwrench posted his newly-found pair of "Workpro" 4.75 inch "Long Nose Two-Position Slip Joint" pliers a couple weeks ago, and I was compelled to order a set.
This is a much downsized version of the Snap-on or ICON "Long Nose Slip Joint".
Super lightweight. Less than five inches long. Tiny little things. Really grabby jaw serrations.
@Fedwrench and I both paid $18 a pop.
They're on a special right now for $15.19
(Prime members only)

[Tarantula]

Count me in for a pair of the mini long nose.

Should anyone feel compelled to build a well-rounded mini kit for their mini problems, Prime sales are primed and ready for the other Workpro mini models.
The mini pliers wrench is down to $14.53 in silver and the mini water pump (Cobra style) pliers are $13.53.
Sadly the other colors are slightly higher. There's a very literal example of the pink tax at play.

Bigger problems?
The 8" long-nose slip joints have dropped all the way down to $10.63. I got a pair for eleven bucks back in December. Should've held out.

I actually went on this morning to look for exactly that since my last one grew legs. Just ordered and was going to post it here and you beat me to it. This one doesn't have the nice piggyback charger, but still a pretty decent deal.

Great - as expected, no great deals on Prime Day, move along fellows

 

[gamp945]

This Bosch 18V leaf blower kit includes the new 8Ah *tabless* battery as well as a very nice 18V/12V charger. The bare blower usually costs over $200 by itself. This is probably the most cost efficient way to get a new tabless battery from Bosch.

Looks like Griot's Garage has a variety of products between 15 and 30% off:

Haven't checked how it compares to normal price but they're cheaper then when I've purchased the same product 6 months ago

If you have a hydraulic or other type of shop press, this is a pretty good deal.

Dramm Colorstorm 5/8" x 50' hose is $50.79 for yellow only. I purchased one a couple of weeks ago for $67 with a coupon and that was the best price I had found. Sorry I don't know how to post a link but a quick search brings it up.

SK Mechanics Tool Set, 1/4" & 3/8" & 1/2" Drive Socket with 216-P Ratchet, 149-Piece, SAE & Metric, SuperKrome Finish, with Storage Suitcase

I've always been very partial to this set because it's quarter inch 3/8 and 1/2 in with very little filler and it's no skip in both standard and deep.

I think it's a great kit to just like throw in the back of a truck or something when you don't know exactly what you're going to need and you just want to cover a lot of bases.

The ratchets are okay. They're not fabulous. They're not my favorite, but I've learned to tolerate them when I'm using the kit. So I just like it as a complete kit and I've given at least one away as a gift when someone said yeah. I need a set of sockets so I know they can get their coverage with this.

It is heavy though. It's very dense.

It amuses me that they call the blow molded case a suitcase.

Not today but delivered Saturday from Amazon. Did a recent oil change and decided to cut open my first oil filter. Timely purchase. Discovered media pleat torn loose from glue on end cap adjacent to media crimp seal. Purolator ONE filter of which I've used several over the last few years. Spent yesterday going down the oil filter rabbit hole researching good quality filters.
The filter cutting tool is impressive for the price. Machined and anodized aluminum blocks, stainless steel guide rods and threaded rod. Close fit, no slop, feels solid. Even includes 2 extra wheels and 2 Allen wrenches. Worked good but feel the cutting wheel could be just a bit sharper. Anyway: Minlen Oil Filter Cutting Tool

Amazon.com

Damn Amazon picture won't post. Why does this happen sometimes.

 

[Cruzan80]

Can you elaborate why someone would want to cut open an oil filter after it was used? Not attacking you, genuinely curious. Feel free to start a new thread if desired (so we don't pull this off track) if you think it will take more than 1-2 posts.

Like many others do: to check for metal "sparklies", carbon and grit and check if the filter media hasn't torn loose from the glue or failed in other ways thus allowing unfiltered oil and dirt back into the engine. I'm not planning to go through the full ritual that many youtube reviews do, many of which I find their analysis rather lightweight /meaningless. This failure coupled with many references of this type of failure with Purolator filters has me searching for one that maintains it's integrity. You don't always know until you go looking. Like I said, this is the first filter I 've ever cut open (been a lot of filters since 1972) and it was done on a whim and out of curiosity. Glad I did. People get oil analysis done but the test instrumentation only registers particles up to a (very small) size. This lets you see the bigger stuff in the filter media and bottom of the can. So you get an oil analysis done and the results show high levels of iron and aluminum and copper. You can wonder where it's coming from and decide to see what the next oil analysis shows 5,000 miles later. Or you can "cut the can" and maybe find small "sparklies" of bearing material or whatever. On the non-metallic side of things it'll show sludge packed in the pleats from a neglected engine. Plugged up pleats, bypass opens, dirty oil circulates, filter no longer filtering.

ETA-- the above is the answer to why open a used filter. The answer to why open a new filter is that I won't. There's many youtube videos of new filters dissected and I can see the inner construction on there. Why waste a good filter unless that brand/model has had a rash of failures and you're not going to use it anyway. Then cut it open out of curiosity or just return it if possible.

 

[Cruzan80]

Gotcha. About to do an oil change, and one of the filters that I have used on my wife's DD is Purolator ONE (have a NIB sitting here for the swap). Hence my curiosity, thanks.
