Snap-on air saw with blades, Snap-on long Torx set, and I traded the T45 (which I already have) for an 11mm hex bit socket.

How much did that air saw run you?

Saw this interesting item on my "Amazon suggestions " list.
I have yet to use it, but it feels better than it looks. Feels solid and locks tight on random things around the house.
Considering it was like fifteen bucks, I figured it was worth having on hand.

I don't even understand how it works

Its a vice-grip adjustable wrench.
Pop the clamp. Twist the wheel to fit. Squeeze the clamp to tighten the grip.

I have this. It works if the nut is not too tight. But it still slips off like other adjustable wrenches no matter how tight you lock it. The screw starts to loosen once force is applied. I have better success with knipex cobra pliers and pliers wrench. I just use it now for clamping things.

Where'd you manage to score that? Great deal for what you pick up!
No, it's Taiwan.
Thats a pretty good ratchet. I have used mine for 2 years and what I like best about it is the low noise. I hated my last ratchet.

Are those test leads?

Well-known member
They are. Purchased off the cornwell truck but they are not cornwell brand. I can ask the driver on tuesday what brand they are and for the part numbers if you want it.
One bag is spades. The other is rounds. I believe it comes with 3 of each male and female. It also has a little male to male adapter that makes jumping the two leads a breeze. I actually used it today while diagnosing a fuel sending unit inop.
I'm not sure how the sizes would fit for light duty automotive purposes. I'm told that we have different terminals in the HD truck world than light duty automotive does. All the diesel guys I know reccomend this set. They seem to be excellent quality.

Did you see the set for $65 that a member is offering here and on Ebay? I was curious if the quality was similar.

I havent seen that post although I have used 3 different sets. This set, a set from a website called jumperkits.com, and a set from someone else that we had in school. These are, by far, the highest quality I've seen. Even the bag is rediculously thick and strong. I expect these to last me a lifetime.
The jumperkits set is nice and comprehensive. They just dont seem quite as well assembled as these do. They feel... flimsy... compared to these. It's like picking up a pair of harbor freight pliers in one hand and snap-on in the other. I don't know how else to describe it.
For the occasional use, I'd buy a jumperkits set.
We have a couple sets of those from International at work and it says SPX in the corner.

Take a look at this kit, people are using them for all sorts of stuff. I bought a second set so I could make some dedicated plugs.

Just be careful..salesmen tend to walk away with shiny screwdrivers. Not like you need one to screw customers over
haha thanks buddy, but I ordered them on snapon.com 100% of my tools & tool box are paid by jobs I'm doing in my own garage. 0$ of my pay check is paying for all this. But yeah, I know alot of people who are chained to those tool trucks.

Looks like the same kit my cornwell dealer carries on his truck. He isn't selling them for anywhere near the $500 the OP says they run at grainger. I think he told me around $180 when I asked. That set is geared towards light duty automotive use. I didn't purchase it because 2 master techs and the cornwell dealer all told me that set is missing some sizes we use and has a bunch of sizes that I'll never see on Heavy duty commercial vehicles. My cornwell dealer lost $20 or so talking me out of that set into the 2 sets I purchased.
If it is the same set I was looking at on the truck, it is very high quality and $65 is a steal.

More tool purchases I don't believe i ever posted along with a better picture of the cornwell prybars someone asked me about.
The big azz hammer and both sets of stubby ratchet wrenches came from my service writer for $200
That 3/8" drive IR gun is awesome. And that sunex cutoff wheel is an absolute monster. I was using a coworker's snapon trying to cut suspension bolts (probably around 5/8" thick) when the tooltruck showed up. Picked that up for right around $100 and holy ****. I cut 3 bolts faster with that than i cut one using my coworker's snap-on. I also shredded a disc along the way... Haha
Those duraflock gloves are absolutely awesome. Thick as hell, but I dont sweat a drop with them on. Expensive but I can normally go full day resuing one pair without my pair tearing.

How much did that air saw run you?
It was $309 and included 15 blades, regular price is $309 without the blades.
Would it be possible just to remove the bolt, flip the ratchet head 180*, then put the bolt back in? I don't own any flex ratchets, so I'm just asking.

Ordered these online to assist in my heater install, used to use my 6" diagonal cutters and pliers. Hoped these would make the job easier.

So does that cutoff wheel have a shield on it normally?

A few people were curious about this press so I thought I would post a few pictures now that its together. Its a Dake F-10, certainly not the biggest or most powerful press, but will suit my needs perfectly. Quality seems great, only drawback is the length of the pump. I have a nice corner to stick it in, but it certainly takes up more space then a bottle jack type of press. It came with the 2 plates and 2 adapters, 1 stepped, 1 flat.
Probably a simple thing that other presses have, but I personally haven't seen , but am very pleased about, the pins have roll pins in them so you cannot insert them too far or too little and have a pin fall out if you aren't paying attention. I thought it was a nice detail.
Nice press matt how much $ did it set u back?

View media item 48820Some Felo screwdrivers, flat and Phillips set.
Estwing 24oz hammer tooth, thought I would give one a try as a straightening tool.
Eclipse side cutters, they were very cheap and my other cheap general abuse pair were worn out.
Then I found the Stanley 5000 drivers on eBay so I bought them as well, don't see many NOS anymore and they are good and they were also very cheap.

I'm not sure if these are the same brand as what I have but they are definitely the same sets.
