The features of Capri and Diehard point towards William Tools Co Taiwan.

No relation to Williams Industrial owned by Snap-on.

That creeper is kind of ****. I'd buy one if I still ever worked anywhere I'd need a creeper.

 

[rharman]

A new whomper. Had my eye on this for some time and the 25% coupon triggered me.

 

[JWC86]

Some new Bondus stuff.

I’ve cut down so many Allen keys over the years I don’t know why I haven’t bought them sooner.

I’ve had the SAE set of ball end drivers for years and used to use them a lot when I was Gunsmithing. Now working on motorcycles mostly I think the metric set will be handy.



Also picked up a OEM Tools vacuum coolant filler for a upcoming drain and fill.

Had some points at O’Reillys that we’re going to expire got this ratchet. They’re finishing up the new signs on the Milwaukee building downtown. Pretty bad picture but I took it when I was at work.

That ratchet looks really nice and I bet it works just as well!

I’ve been eyeing that ratchet at my local O’Reilly’s. Let us know how it runs.

Saw this a few pages back in this thread and got one for myselfw

 

[71goldss]

New additions to my growing Tsunoda pliers collection. I wanted something with a finer point than my Knipex 31 11 160 pliers on the right. I’m really liking this Tsunoda brand so far. Time will tell how they hold up!

 

[threewood]

Bag o sockets lol. And I really hate the cheap metal organizers they use.

Williams USA 3/8" deep sae. Otherwise they look great and didn't break the bank.

 

[Madjik Man]

Toptul T-handle magnetic spark plug sockets (14mm and 16mm)
Gray Canada metric combo wrench set (10-32mm, skipping 13, 25, 28, and 31) - takes over for my mid-90s Craftsman 7-15mm set.
Dewalt 12 piece reversible ratcheting combo wrench (8-19mm, no skips) - takes over for my horribly cheap and brutal back drag/swing non-reversible Husky set.

Perfect drawer layout/sizes

Agreed, excellent layout.

Where did you buy the Toptul from?

Don't know if they want to be known or not so I'll let the chime in if they want to.

Look like nice sockets though!

 

[bigworm85]

First tool I bought because of this forum.
Something I'd have passed over a bunch of times without interest and I don't do a whole lot of HF anyhow but I was getting some organizer stuff and had to grab this after seeing a ton of glowing reviews here.

What is this tool exactly?

No worries. Thanks.

1/4 in, 3/8 in. Drive Long-Reach Dual Flex Head Ratchet

Amazing deals on this 1/4In, 3/8In Long Rch Dual Flex Head Ratchet at Harbor Freight. Quality tools & low prices.

www.harborfreight.com

It has a lower profile than anything else out there

 

[dukefx]

It's certainly slim but can't compete with pass-through.

I recently picked up a few NOS Pro America Pliers and cutters. After finding out that my Williams USA pliers were made by Pro America, I always keep an eye out for them. I couldn't pass up the set for $20 shipped.









Lowe's had a crazy deal on the Wiha 5pc screwdriver set a few weeks ago, $15.











I needed some new Dremel sanding drums and picked up a few different grits.

58" Mayhew pry bar. Beer can for reference but photo doesn't do justice to the size (that's what she said).

 

[cabot]

Unless they invent new types of fasteners, todays 3/8” and 1/4” metric Matco semi-deep impact sockets probably set me up for good. According to insurance inventory spreadsheet im north of $10k in sockets alone now.

Man... I need to do one. I bet I'm only 2k in sockets, but still...

 

[cabot]

Are those really rebranded Snap On, l thought l heard that.

Yes

I have the set of those up to (about) 36”. Pretty solid tools from what I can tell.

Interesting. I was about to start a thread asking what the best set up for an inventory spreadsheet would be for insurance purposes.

Could you please take a look at the middle flat blade and report back on whether it seems thicker than normal? I bought several of these sets and on each set that middle flat blade has been very thick, to the point that it won't fit sometimes. I'm wondering if that was why those sets were on clearance.

That bar is cool!

The jokes write themselves here... I'll just say that I hope that's HER beer...

I don't discriminate. I'll drink all beers.

Too funny. I drink IPAs, and have come across a few that taste like I stuck a grapefruit into my mouth, so I have no room to talk.

Here is a thread I did a few years back on my inventory organization. Probably overkill for what most people need.

Yeah, wow. Far more than I'm willing to commit to, lol.

Here's what I was thinking. Just wondering if there's any additional info (columns) I should include.

Category would be very general, eg "Wrench" (which would include combo, DBE, ratcheting, etc), "screwdriver," "ratchets," "sockets" and so on

Package deal via Woot for $40. Hard to say no.

Yes, the thickness of the middle flat blade seems to be the same thickness as the large flat blade, on the 2 sets that I have opened. I didn't realize it until I grabbed the middle flat blade to tighten a door hinge and found it too thick to insert into the screw head. Now not so sure I landed a bargain on these sets. I bought 9 more sets to give out as Christmas gifts, contemplating returning them.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I got a few for the same reason.

Mine is similar but I don’t have COO. Every couple months or after a big purchase I take pictures of all my drawers. Manufacturer, part number and replacement cost are the big things to have.

Thank you very much for the response! It's good to know that I'm not the only person seeing this. I've given 3 sets to friends - I hope they won't hate me.

The sets were still a good deal. But I need to fire up the grinder, fix a couple of drivers, and go exchange them for the ones I gave away.

Went to a couple sales over the weekend and ended up with these.....Craftsman, Williams and Hinsdale with the box!
And of course the 10mm was AWOL!
