^ still in the bubble wrap? with the original cardboard sleeve?
the seller should have listed it as an auction item with the minimum bid $99.99 - it would go for $125-$140 easy.
probably be sold by Sunday night at that price.
you heard it here first.

I bought one of these Japanese made angle vises for work. It was well constructed and worked fine. I did spend a few minutes stoning some of the edges that were a little sharper than I liked.

^ Still there at $99.00 with 25 watchers.... waiting for somebody to blink. It's only been up 8 days now.
He shouldn't hurry. It's not like a new phone he can sell one after another. Once this is sold, he has no more. I would mark it at $150 and sit on it for years.

SK Tools 1/4” socket set NOS
Hilariously inflated from the original $15MSRP


^ Still there at $99.00 with 25 watchers.... waiting for somebody to blink. It's only been up 8 days now.

I have that set minus the 8 points.
It is a hand me down from my grandpa.
Gets used quite often.
Alright, alright, I give up. I'll take it. Yeesh guys, I've been watching this for over a week hoping one of you would jump in. Talk about something none of us needs.

I remember my older brother, now passed, with a similar set. Good times. I'm laughing at the thought of my kids trying to sell this one day.

If you can bring yourself to using it, it is a very handy set. If not it's still a cool collector kit with that insert.

re: ratchet in post #4978 is an Indestro model 6270 "open gear" type. bulletproof. the Indestro doesn't have quite the reputation that the equivalent Thorsen model 77 had, but it's still a workhorse and you're going to be challenged trying to break it. Low tooth count - strictly utilitarian stuff there.

This is a pretty good deal on a Kobalt 24V drywall tool set. This is a great way to get into the Kobalt 24V battery platform - which I think is handy because they have some fairly specialized tools and "gadgets" (fans, flashlights, etc) that are sometimes available for good clearance or sale pricing. For example, they currently have a cordless die grinder on clearance for $40.

This eBay seller has lots of stock on this 24V set which includes a drywall screw gun, drywall screw magazine, and rotary cutout tool. Also includes two batteries and a decent charger:


Originally sold from Lowes for $350, but I think it has been discontinued as a set (but the same tools can be purchased individually). The listing on Lowes says it only comes with one battery, but the set I purchased includes two (as shown on the box in the listing).


I already posted about this deal in the Lowes thread, but I'm posting it here because it is actually an eBay deal. Also, the price has dropped about $20 from when I first saw it.

THERMACOTE Co., Pasadena, CA military crimping pliers
manufactured by Petersen Mfg. Co., Dewitt, NE and coated with non-spark coating by Thermacote
looks like NOS stuff. very odd.
( I would not have listed this here were it not for the fact that I bought a wrench from this seller earlier today. I sent her an offer that was 40% less than her asking price, and she accepted the offer within 5 minutes. She also has a "Chapman" ratchet and bit set, but she's a bit on the high side, so I'm not listing the Chapman 6320 set here. YMMV. )

I cannot speak from personal experience. I'm just passing the message along. Might be some feedback on it in the "Channellock" thread - I posted it there as well.

Got an email from
Aircraft / Aircraft Tool Supply Co., 1000 AuSable Road, PO Box 370, Oscoda, MI 48750 / https://www.aircraft-tool.com/ /
regarding that "Skin Wedge" tool mentioned above:
Aircraft Tool said:
Good morning,
This item is manufacturered to our specifications in Taiwan.
Thank you.

The outfit that I ordered them from - through ebay - also said they were "imported", but had no idea about COO.

Not your typical post, but if you like a good cup of coffee, here is a pretty good deal on K-Cups...


I refuse to pay full retail price for K-Cups nor drink the terrible off-brand from Menards. That is one of my favorite blends for a dark, strong cup of coffee at a pretty good price at 42 cents a cup.

^ You've got to appreciate that little gem there at the bottom - love the way they adopted the "Gendron-ish" spoke wrench cut-out at the back side of the jaws.

These grinder are getting harder to find. I find my drill press and the 1x42 grinder the two machines I use most.
