As a Gedore fan , this is the worst product they make, the 3/8 and 1/2 are much better. I have all 3 and I absolutely hate the 1/4.
I got an extra bucket in the mail recently. See if you can add one of these to your collection.
Wear a ball cap with it, brim backwards like the kids seems to like it.
Are those real?Kinda like a tool and they are Snap On
Brand new, 1988 vintage, politically incorrect, girly coffee cups for the shop.
I had a $50 Amazon gift card to use and got the same Bosch “Flexiclick” 12v setup for $143 on Black Friday. I wanted to see how it compares to my M12 “installation driver”.
Yep, they are real.Are those real?
No way plastic looks that good after all these years, I certainly wouldn't put hot liquid in it and consume it.
Many plastics can last for decades, or even centuries. What destroys them are UV-rays. So as long as they don't see the sunlight, they are good.
Forgot to mention, without going through the wheel well, getting an 8 mm socket on that bracket bolt wasn't happening with the 6-point sockets I own (just enough corrosion that the sockets wouldn't seat fully and I didn't want to strip the thing).
I'd thought about taking out my Power Torque GM4221 set, but those are just long enough to be too long given the clearance available.
Dug through my wrenches, and came up with this little Husky ratcheting 12-point, which saved the day.
The fact that I own the solo Husky wrench means it was bought to save me at some point on another job (I typically only buy tools as sets). I have a full set of Craftsman USA ratcheting wrenches (that's the only brand I would buy when Sears was still open), just doesn't go this small. I don't recall the specific job, might have been something under the dash (like a HVAC blend door actuator).
And, the Power Torque set was likewise originally bought (at O'Reilly Auto Parts) out of desperation to do one specific job. I needed a tool for a 6-mm square tap handle to fix an impeller on a Trac Vac (tow-behind vacuum cart, attaches to a lawn tractor for picking up leaves, grass, etc.).
Two things that remind me of @BlakeTheCarGuy: buying solo tools and buying auto parts store brands!

Facom 440 combination wrench 22mm
For the brushes, although the bevel brush turned out to have an odd 24mm M14 nut. Should have got a 22x24mm double open end.
^ I could not begin to count the number of times I have locked myself out of my vehicle. It's nutty. Some people never do it in their entire lifetime. Me - at least half a dozen times a year, if not more. Just did it again a few weeks ago.
Maybe this should be "Garage Sale" stuff, but maybe... not:
Saw a CL ad for the compressor so I went over and picked it up. Works fine. $40 bucks. So then I had to drive over to HF to buy some doo-dads so I can use the thing. Feel free to make me wrong - I have no clue what I'm doing with air. Intention is to use it for cleaning stuff. I don't believe I've ever used an air tool in my life, other than a blow nozzle for cleaning carburetors. Figured this would be good enough to start. That yellow hose looks appropriate for my trash can, but the kit was on a close-out deal nutty cheap.
In other news:
Today started out with a trip over to the east side, where I got this way-cool work cart so I'm not bent over working on that sawhorse.
They also had some other treasures I just couldn't pass up.
I'm seriously considering that, I had an appointment a few years back for a colonoscopy. it was set for a Monday morning. Spent Sunday doing the prep, I can't ever drink Gatorade again, anyway, I showed up at the facility Monday morning and announced why I was there, the three woman behind the counter went silent and just stared at me. Finally one said, you didn't get a phone call?. Nope I replied, she told me that there had been a flood in the surgery area and all appointments were cancelled, the flood had happened the prior Tuesday.I got an extra bucket in the mail recently.

I didn't think I'd need them, but I'm getting there.
My dad was a very gentle soul. But when he would see someone with their baseball hat backwards he would get irritated and say he would like to smack it off their head.
It's a bucket you need to "unload" into. Make it a good one to give them some adventure when they open it. I took too long in returning my last "Bucket" so they sent me a second one... so I have a spare.
Yeah, I have read about those, must be a hell of a job on the receiving end of that. Honey, how was your day at work, another $itty day as usual.
I miss the 80’s…
Same $hit different smell... I mean day.
While it's probably to late with all the abuse I have subjected my body to I still wouldn't feel good to consume from 36YO plastic.
A welder's cap is the answer. Just enough brim to keep stuff from going down the back of your neck when worn brim-back.
^ Well.... I already own a tiny little Sears Craftsman compressor with a fitting to inflate tires, but it's for a paint sprayer, and doesn't put out the pressure I need for cleaning stuff.
I wear the "baseball" caps backwards when using a face shield. I also use them backward when I'm in the garage or yard to keep stuff out of my hair. The bill doesn't bother my neck.
Welding caps are cotton--it doesn't melt.I wear the "baseball" caps backwards when using a face shield. I also use them backward when I'm in the garage or yard to keep stuff out of my hair. The bill doesn't bother my neck.
There are hats with smaller bills. I have a few, but don't use them for working in the garage or in the yard. I do wear them under my helmet when it's cold, bill flipped up too. I prefer the old school ones made of cotton. They're not that easy to find as opposed to synthetic fiber one now a days.
Don't worry about the look. It was good enough for the "Cannibal", pictured here.
I wouldn't wear one off the bike, but it has been done
It feels familiar Bosch.
So , if any of you got last year's Ferrex Rotary tool from aldi last year , these Bosch 12v batteries fit without modification.
