feels like Christmas today!

My fiance got me some tool box accessories today.
No more digging for bits, 100 piece set of great neck bits

been wanting ratchet wrenches forever, sad thing theres no 17mm

also been needing a nice pair of side cuts

then this came in the main today. Man was it a pain in the *** to put the kit in. What a stupid idea on sk how this ratchet is held together and operates. #41375

if i ever get another sk ratchet in a trade ill pass it up. All in all, been a great day!

Ive always wondered what the Y shaped 1/4 inch bit is for? Nice score by the way, ive had a few sets of duralast rat wrenches in my box for the past few years. Surprisingly sturdy. Nice score man!

Your a very lucky man!

It looks like some kind of inside spanner. I've not seen one before.

And you have a wad of $20 bills!

Cup hooks and eye screws.

Cup hooks and eye screws.

Lol. It's for wing nuts.

It might work for some sizes of wing nut, but it's intended for the hook screws:

It's not likely to seat well on wing nuts.

If you want a tool for wing nuts, Motion Pro has these bad boys:

They work phenomenally well.

Lol, thanks guys! My lady got me those for vday. When my taxes come in, guess whose heading for HF for a us general 44" roller cabinet? THIS GUY! Lol.

Ya, i wondered what the y shape thing was for too, now i know. I did think wing nut until i thought and figured out the bolt it would go on would get in the way of tightening it.

The money was just laying there. I got excited and wanted to post pics as soon as we got home, just where it landed lol.

Fyi, duralast is my snap on. Have you guys ever rebuilt an sk ratchet with. Heart shape thingy in it? Took me three times to get it set right. Its super nice, and super fine tooth. Anyone know how fine? 72? Also, what are some of the special bits for? "Security bits" and an example of what they are used for?

Now if duralast would replaced the 18 with a 17, itd be gold. And they're super slim profile. Odd though they have a 13 degree offset instead of 15?

Best thing about all this, my lady supports my habbits all the way, and this isn't the first (or last) thing she's bought me for my box. Thanks again guys!

Some nice tools there. You will enjoy the 44" tool chest as well.

I have never used that particular Y shaped driver bit for anything as of yet myself

I LOVE that article. I think it covers most of them.

I need to use it more often - I always make the excuse of "eh, it's all the way out in my shop, and I only have to install 3 or 5 of these things."

Half an hour later, I'm done, after much cursing because I kept dropping them or twisting them in crooked, and I should have just gotten the thing!
