My first post, hoping i can revive this thread
Been buying a lot on ebay lately - filling the gaps now I work on a larger variety of vehicles than ever before
Cheap filter straps, bought for the second largest for 1HD and 1HJ toyotas
Cheap set of zero offset extra long metric ring spanners, bought for the 14mm for exhaust/bellhousing mounts on 1HD toyotas. I'll replace them with snap on as I find them/as they break
Set of deep 3/8 snap on 12pt SAE sockets, always wanted some decent sae sockets and these were a good price, brand new and unused. The three smaller sizes are Britool but I'll replace them with snap on as I see fit
Multiposition Magnetic work light, fantastic bit of kit, wish I'd bought one sooner. Lithium-ion battery and 21 LED, now almost my most used tool
Job lot of older Snap on sae and metric sockets and spanners. Bought mostly for the 12pt shallow metric 1/2 sockets and the 18" breaker bar, when I collected the item the seller threw in a load of other non-snap on tools. Also included nearly full set of 1/2 12pt sae sockets and a good range of sae shallow 6pt impacts, all snap on
30mm snap on deep impact 1/2 drive. It was cheap so I bought it, one of those times when the item costs far less than the shipping
Job lot of Snap on industrial finish/impact sockets, went very cheap, I only bought it for the 1/2 to 3/8 step down. Does anyone have a clue what the tall socket in the lower left is for?
1/4 drive phillips number 2, was going cheap and ending in seconds so I stuck my bid in. Have used it for drum retainer bolts on 105 series Land Cruiser but its hardly ideal
Snap on oexm210b 21mm spanner. I've had the usual 10-19mm set of soexm**0b spanners for a few years and decided it was time to expand the set so I have some quality larger wrenches (already have snap on eurotools and teng wrenches up to 32mm but they just dont feel as nice)
Needed a longer blunt ended knife for the occaisional work with plasmafoam and this blue point came up cheap and brand new
Always wanted the 36" pry bar to match my set so picked up this one in good condition for a nice price. Use it daily
I've never had any quality chisels or punches and I find the the cheapo chisels just dont stay sharp after the first grinding. Anyway I've been doing a lot of suspension bushes lately so I bought this old snap on set
Blue point 8mm/12mm glowplug ratchet spanner for toyota 1HD, it means I no longer need to remove the crossover pipe
Snap on oexm220b, further expanding my metric spanners, used regularly on Land Cruiser suspension
Bergen ball joint splitter for 4x4 and light commercials, I needed to borrow a fork type splitter recently and I always think if I need borrow something I need to own one myself.
Snap on 24mm shallow 1/2 impact, I bought the 10-19mm set years ago and have been slowly expanding it when they come up cheap, need a 26 & 27mm next
The first tech I worked with when I was an apprentice at a ford dealer had one of these and I always wanted one but not at dealer prices. Its a bit old and filthy but still does the job
Brand new 32mm & 36mm (oexm320b oexm360b) spanners, again to expand my set, got these for about 40% of retail. I love them
10-15mm set of 12pt UJ impacts, snap on. I already had a non impact set which doesnt have a 14mm and I really miss that doing a lot of work on toyotas. NOS and very cheap
Snap on 17/19mm extra long 10degree offset wrench, supplements my cheap set and gets in some places the zero offset ones cant
Job lot of very rough snap on sockets, only wanted the 9/16 deep 12pt. Too cheap to pass up
Snap on 3/8 phillips number 3, far better for removing the drum retainer bolts on Land Cruiser
Short 14mm Snap on old script wrench, handy on toyota, picked it up very cheap. I intend to build the whole set peicemeal, I already have a few others
Blue Point gasket punch set, I do occaisionally make gaskets so I guess it'll get used, but I just bought it 'cause it was a nice set in good condition. I'll probably use it to make a rubber retainer for the shank on my Snap on hand handle ratchet screwdriver when I convert it to removeable shank
Decided I needed some flare nut spanners/line wrenches and I already have a snap on 13mm flare/open so I got these
I could still do with a 12mm and then probably the 8 & 9mm
Unfortunately this wasnt purchased for me but for a friend using my account, its about 3months old and is in mint condition. It replaces 2x 41" KRA roll cabs & top box with end cab. Picked it up last weekend, looking forward to going over to my buddies place later today to see his tools moved into it
Snap on FL10c 3/8 breaker bar. I've never seen the point of these as I already have FL80 & FLF80 but recently I really needed to hold a cam pulley still whilst replacing a timing belt on yet another 1HD, a ratchet just wouldnt do the job and I didnt have an offset wrench deep enough. Brand new in packaging for 50% of list price
Living in the UK I dont really have a great need for SAE wrenches but always fancied a set just in case. In my current job at a defense contractor I have to work on everything from golf carts, quad bikes, motorcycles, saloon cars, light vans, commercials, heavy commercials, fork lift trucks, access platforms, 4x4's, semi trailers, etc etc, basically anything the company owns and anything the company supplies/modifies for military/law enforcement/civil use. Nowadays sae wrenches are essential so I picked up this set of Flank drive+ from 3/8 to 3/4, I'll expand them up to 1" at least I think
Incomplete set of Metric speed spanners, snap on. Really handy for getting around auxilary equipment/armour. Need to fill in the gaps, my guess is the seller kept the most usefull sizes as the 10&13mm are misssing
OEXM240b again to expand my metric spanners. Used on Toyota suspension primarily
With some work on Mercedes driveline/suspension coming up I thought it was prudent to pick up some e-torx spanners, I found a set still in their tray and got them for a good price. Again, snap on
Thats it for the time being, there's loads more I need (want) so I'll be sure to update soon
Just showed up today so waiting for the vendor to respond. *sighs* $134 shipped EMS.
