FL80 and FLF936 came the last 2 weeks. waiting for tech2/3 torquewrenches which are shipped but didn't arrived. same for the gf80

more or less all these + some hazet rails where christmas gifts cause i bought them the last 3-4 weeks

 

[mr2autoxr]

I got a variety of tools that I picked out and bought over the last few months

F80
Snap-on metric and standard crowsfoot sets - flare nut
Gearwrench 20pc screwdriver set
Gearwrench 7pc pick and hook set
Lenox 17pc hole-saw kit
Hack saw blades
Mac Tools SAE crowsfoot set
Craftsman flare nut crowsfoot set SAE
Gearwrench X-beam ratcheting wrench set 8-19mm
Gearwrench 5pc double boxed end ratcheting wrenches 20-25mm (no 23mm)
Ernst wrench racks for SAE and Metric sets
Snap-on 13/16 spark plug socket

I'd say I did pretty well. I had to re-oraganize both of my tool boxes to get all this stuff to fit. I definitely need more storage now!

I got one of these

I'm looking forward to trying it out!

My wife gave me a bottle of C25 for my MIG welder. Of course, I picked it out. I have never had a bottle of gas for it, so now I'm ready. My niece gave me a Home Depot gift card, and I still haven't figured out what I am going to get, but it will be tools for sure.

 

[Rory Bellows]

Christmas tool haul consisted of a gearwrench metric stubby set, bounce light, Uvex bionic shield, and Lowes gift cards.

 

[Flathead Red]

I got the new 3/8" and 1/4 drives from Kobalt everyone has been talking about from my step mom.

Flathead Red

 

[cronic]

I fell like I racked up this year! I got the following:

8mm - 25mm 16 piece gearwrench reversing wrench set (large completer set is back ordered and will be here later...)

Crescent 12", 8", 6", and 4" adjustable wrenches.

General pocket scale and mini pry bar.

Channellock 4.5", 6.5"

ViseGrip 9ln, 7r, 4ln

Got dad the Snap On JCW95R adjustable bucket seat, he was happy and that thing is solid!

My Wife swears that my cat of 11 years went out shopping and got me a smaller Craftsman toolbag, an LED pickup magnet, and some car washing goodies. (A really cool dash dusting microfibre towel among the lot. The wife got me a sweet new desk chair with memory foam)

She, er, I mean the car thought I could use the toolbag for mobile detailing...but I'll find another use for it. It's just too small.

Now a bit off topic...I had to go to Lowes to get a part for the boiler today and saw something that might be perfect for mobile detailing. Since I got a Lowe's giftcard...this would could as Christmas loot.

 

[TireTracks]

I dident get any tools. But I do have $140 to spend on them.

 

[ZiggyPiggy]

I got myself a Christmas present if that counts. A GearWrench 15pc SAE non-ratcheting combination wrench set. Sizes from 1/4" to 1".

I've been eyeing that set down at Menards of all places. Just havent been able to bring myself to spend 85$ vs the 26pc C-Man Pro for 170.

 

[medic583]

The girlfriend surprised me with something desperately needed for the new shop... yet the sales crew at Canadian Tire recommended the top cabinet instead of the bottom one (said I could build a shelf to put it on). Hmm... buggers... since I don't even have the drywall/wiring done... looks like I'm either gonna have to build a metal cart or buy the bottom myself...

Ha... but who am I kiddin'... WAHOOO... think I'll put the woodworking tools in this one... the old top and base cabinet I have has bigger drawers for the metal/auto working tools to fit in. I just wish I could've seen her and my mother unload this tank of a chest... can't believe how heavy it is empty...

41-in. Mastercraft Maximum Euro Chest



Also dove into the stocking and found this Lee Valley Miter Hook...



and a neat little Lee Valley 90 degree angle driver for those odd times a long bit will not fit...

 

[jeepnut24]

~$200 Sears cards, I need a new mid box, Im out of room
1/4,3/8,1/2" Snap on ratchets, used, but all rebuilt and ready to go

A blown head gasket on my jeep.... to use my new tools on...

 

[Crizzle]

Awesome hauls everyone.

I must say that I have an awesome wife. She got me a table saw(the C-Man BT3k version), as well as a roller box. She got me the red, and didn't mind letting me upgrade it w/ soem cash and Sears gift cards I was given as well. So by the second week of January I will have this in my garage:

[wellstig1]

My awesome girlfriend got me the leatherman that I wanted and even had it engraved with my initials

 

[Joel 67]

I've been eyeing that set down at Menards of all places. Just havent been able to bring myself to spend 85$ vs the 26pc C-Man Pro for 170.

Side by side, I think the GW beats CMan hands down.

 

[pirana]

I bought myself a Victor cutting torch with part of my x-mas bonus money from work.

 

[29Sedanman]

My wife got me a Snap On Ratcheting hard handle screwdriver. I love it. Something I have wanted for a long time.

 

[hdossett]

Those were the only tools I received this time around.
Then my wife gave me a new sign to hang.

Did I mention I LOVE MY WIFE.

Do I see an avatar in the making?

 

[boostedgt]

[jjarrell4]

And she got me a lil self defense tool that noone should be without!

 

[TireTracks]

i Bought myself a ACE hardware Breaker bar today. Spent a bit of christmas money on it so it counts.

 

[devilphrog]

I got a sears gift card for an intermediate box (It's been out of stock everywhere for more than 2 months), a Craftsman Professional Extension Cord Reel, a Home Depot Gift Card, a "Z" creeper, and a new penlight.

 

[arkangel06]

I got no tools but next time I see a good sale on im getting some!

 

[SpeedCoach]

Not a bad haul....

C-man reversible ratcheting combo's (metric), Channelocks, C-man pro needlenose, SO s832 (bought from Snappy w/ christmas funds), a little c-man thumb drive, some precision screw drivers (FIL bought them - impulse), z-calz, some new gloves, and 1/4" drive deep sockets.

 

[ultimatesooner]

18V Makita Impact/Drill set

 

[cashishift]

My awesome girlfriend got me the leatherman that I wanted and even had it engraved with my initials

I got the same one, no engraving though!

I had a super tool back in the day.. this one is a beast compared to it!

 

[bindernut]

no pics yet, but my parents, my fiance, and her parents went together & bought me a Weatherguard toolbox for my truck. It's a model 117-0-01

 

[BTG]

18V Makita Impact/Drill set

Me too! and I got a pair of Knipex pliers. Very happy about both!

 

[halfxspaid]

My first snappy tool and a Milwaukee sawzall

 

[jumpyg]

I used some Sears giftcards I got for Christmas to get the Craftsman Professional portable table saw (#21829). It's $430 this month with Craftsman Club. Unfortunately, it was out of stock everywhere and I had to order it. Hopefully it will be in tomorrow morning or Saturday at the latest. Can't wait to try out my first table saw.

Those are nice wrenches I have the same set and have been extremely happy with them.

 

[skeletonizer]

We had our family Christmas on New Years day due to work schedules... hard to pass up double time and a half. KaChing!

My wife went overboard again. She is the best!

Some USA made Craftsman pics/hooks.

With some sorry a$$ QC in the handle assembly and placement of the knurling.

The obligatory C-man bottle opener.

Made in the correct location.

Smart girl found these on the clearance rack for $10. Might never use them but for that price they got bought.

These I specifically asked for as I had no metric 1/4" drive stuff.

She found the dual marked stuff in the back... again, smart girl. She remembered me bitching about my laser marked 1/2" drive stuff.

ChiCom but useful.

This last one I got for myself.
My first compressor. It should be more than I will need in a compressor for the next few years. 100% duty cycle. My main requirements were portability and over 5 cfm. I plan on a 220volt system some day and this will tide me over.

This tag on the tank says Made in USA but I have no delusions that the whole thing is.

How about that weld? The welds on the tank are flawless, the handle... clearly this guy knows how to weld but just doesn't seem to care enough to do it right. Maybe that is why he is welding handles for air compressors.

I have these, and use them frequently, but cant say I am all the happy with them. The tips are good, but the shafts always start spinning loose from the handle at inopportune times. One of these days I will replace them with something else.

I thought the design a bit odd. Not sure why they didn't put a scredriver style handle on them? The thin pencil sized diameter might make them useful in certain situations though.

Might put some locktite on the threads.

 

[arkangel06]

the welds on the tank of the compressor are done by a robot if im not mistaken

Got one of these from my pops, it came with the restriction that I trade him my old Cman though. Not too bad since I got the Cman on sale at a scratch and dent anyway.

Also got a FX80 for myself from Craigslist for $30 and an old Beach Toolbox in rough shape for $20

Merry Christmas to me!!

[american lockpicker]

My first snappy tool and a Milwaukee sawzall

I've been thinking of getting one of those as my first Snap On.

 

[RbrtAWhyt]

I got the 11 Piece Craftsman Pro Stubby Metric Wrench Set and the 11 Piece Craftsman Pro Stubby SAE Wrench Set. I also got the GearWrench 7 Piece SAE Combination Ratcheting Wrench Set and the GearWrench 7 Piece Metric Combination Ratcheting Wrench Set. I've also got a gift card to Home Depot that I haven't spent yet. I'm probably going to get met a new Hitachi Framing Nailer...

 

[RbrtAWhyt]

Also dove into the stocking and found this Lee Valley Miter Hook...

Thats a cool little tool. Thanks for posting that. I'm going to order one...
