^ That is an excellent price on that 2775A from that same seller. The 2775A is a 60-tooth model. Some may not like that odd 6-point selector knob on the back, though.... all personal preference. I have both the 1/4" and 3/8" drive versions - good ratchet. Very smooth when properly oiled (NOT grease.)

He also has some cheapie Tekton needle-nose pliers for $9.99, but personally I would spend the extra money for Klein.

He's down to FOUR sets of those shorty metric DBE sets right now

I agree, the 2775A is a really nice ratchet with low back drag.

Cheap screwdrivers. Can't do an apples-to-apples price comparison on these as they're both apparently discontinued items:

TEKTON 2763 4-piece hard-handle screwdriver set
new
$14.09 incl. shipping "buy now"
* discounts on multiple quantities *
* looks like this set was replaced with TEKTON DRV42023 MSRP $18.00 (different handle design) *


TEKTON 6-in-1 Screwdriver (hard handle)
new
$7.99 incl. shipping "buy now"
* discounts on multiple quantities *
* looks like this was replaced with TEKTON DMS18010 MSRP $9.00 (different handle design) *


*** This Tekton 6-in-1 is $3.95 from Harry Epstein right now ***

... and just because we know you can never have too many ratchets:

INDESTRO 2775A 3/8" drive 60-tooth RHFT ratchet
new
$21.99 incl. shipping
* discounts on multiple quantities *
* see @tool_scrounge 's comment just above post #5404

I should have seen this one coming...

DURO/INDESTRO 8 piece METRIC stubby deep-offset double-end wrench set w/vinyl roll-up pounch
6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 and 20mm
brand new
$37.99 incl. shipping "buy now" ($36.09 ea. if you buy both sets)

Same set as the one posted just above in post #5401 - same vendor - just a higher price on these last two sets. still lower than they've been in years. nicely finished - full polish.
I'm guessing this is going to be the last of them. I got a note back from this seller yesterday regarding their "inventory" - "Whatchamacallittools" - the outfit that took over from Meridian Tools (Oklahoma City) went down. "broandsis" tells me "We bought some of their inventory," so I'm guessing what you're seeing on their ebay page is probably what they cherry-picked out of what was left.

RE: Tekton items from ebay seller blastlineusa:
I had 6 items of theirs on my "watch" list that I was thinking of purchasing. I sent a message to the seller inquiring as to country of origin on each item. Seller never bothered to respond.
THAT tells me far more than their "feedback" rating (which may or may not be connected to anything in the real world.)

CDI Torque - 2502MRMH - 3/8-Inch Micrometer Adjustable Metal Torque Wrench - $72 + Shipping
This is a 30-250 in-lbs click style torque wrench, with a 3/8 drive. Zoro lists it for $178. Seller seems to have a bunch of these, 62 sold and more than 10 available. As I'm sure everyone knows, CDI Torque is a part of Snap On Specialty tools. Brand new, in a case with real hinges, and sealed in factory bag. Packed with a calibration cert dated July 2019 and a VCI inhibitor. Seller shipped quick. This wrench is really nice, I hope this helps someone out.

Someone posted in the Amazon thread that an eBay seller has a bunch of "Master Mechanic" items (True Value brand?) on pretty deep clearance:


I can't give credit to the OP because I don't know who it was... a mod deleted his eBay posts because they were in the Amazon thread.

I grabbed one of the Master Mechanic 205 piece tool sets for -$45.00.

I got a tracking number, but we’ll see if it ships. The tools ship from Henderson Nv and should arrive on Tuesday, if they actually ship. Seller has a 98.6 % + rating.

The same set was on Amazon for the same price, but when I checked back, it tripled in price there, unless I was confused.

From what I can tell, the Master Mechanic ratchets and sockets are Apex, made in China or Taiwan, but there’s not much info on them.

I’ll toss them in an offsite garage where I keep the boat so I don’t have to tote a set of tools around.

I ordered a drill press from the seller and it came pretty quickly. I think he's legit.

Here's the link, it was in my history. I don't remember who the OP was.

You might want to check the eBay sellers store they have other MM stuff at reduced proces:

As I'm sure everyone knows, CDI Torque is a part of Snap On Specialty tools.

"CDI" was originally Consolidated Devices, Inc., an independent privately-owned manufacturer which was purchased BY Snap-on.

Consolidated / Consolidated Devices Inc., 2120 Edwards Ave., So. El Monte, CA 91733 / torque wrenches / acquired by Snap-on /

====

"mechanics" ebay listings for ebay seller Spreetail (59 items)

* depending upon vintage (and original manufacturer) some "Master Mechanic" tools can be good stuff! *

( * Unfortunately with the blurry stock photos the seller is using for his ebay listings, it's not possible to tell who the OEM was - you'd have to establish a line of communication with the seller unless you can ID the ratchets from those photo images.)

It doesn't look to me like the case photos show you the exact set that you are purchasing.
One of the eBay reviews mentioned this - looks like the actual kit comes with open space in the top section; could be a win if you need some storage to supplement with additional tools. Best bet is probably to go by that last picture you posted which should show the actual tools included

We’ll find out.

Delivery of mine was moved up to Monday. It’s in Phoenix now, per tracking.

That’s pretty good service.

I’m really not over-expecting, since it was $45, delivered. That’s about two trips to In And Out for burgers.

I also ordered a set to throw in a vehicle. Seems kinda hard to go wrong for price unless this stuff is really junky. Also shipped quick, expected delivery Tuesday. Ordered an air hose reel too. Will try to report back on the quality of said hose and reel.

hmm...didn't realize my post was deleted. all of the links i posted were for amazon except for one thing that was cheaper on ebay from the same seller. someone else posted the seller's name with the info, i just dug into it and posted links. SPREETAIL is who you can look up on either amazon or ebay. this was the only ebay link i posted in the other thread:


i thought it was a pretty good price. bought it and the drill press and got them next day, which never happens in my area. both were new in original packaging and was so happy with the transaction and price i decided to buy from them again for the below:


will probably get it tomorrow, ordered on saturday. they're liquidating this stuff from true value, from what i read. just search for them on amazon to compare which site has the lowest price. i can't figure why some of them are so wildly different from the same seller.
