Is there a slim head 3/8 drive extended out now that I missed? I'll return this for that if so!

yeah, there is one. I already have a short 3/8's and can't really justify the expense of the extended slim. I may pick up the Walmart special and make a skil or m12 adapter:

Williams Vulcan Metric Wrench Set from a friend for $20.00 dollars.

Lincoln Electric Grease Guns x 2 @ 12V and 1 pneumatic… all three for $35.00 dollars from a friend. I had to replace one plastic motor housing and one plastic handle. And I am waiting on a new hose + coupler for one of them.

Man.... I held this thing in my hands today but I just couldn't swing the price.... now you've got me regretting it.

I don't know if it's still active, but there was a deal online that included a "free" battery.
I ordered online and picked up in store when I got mine. Helped ease the price tag a bit.

I have had really good luck with the gorilla brand ones on Amazon. I did have to replace some orings this year but they stay outside year round and I have had them for over 3 years now.

Do you lubricate the O-rings? I was informed here at GJ when I researched them that a little bit of NAPA Sil-glide or the like made them happy, so I do that about once a year.

A few more Knipex goodies showed up today. Got the 400mm pliers wrench, the 180mm spring hose clamp pliers, the front & side ear clamp pliers, the Bowden cable cutters, and a couple smaller end cutters.

The unexpected surprise, a set of free Wera VDE Kraftform screwdrivers with minimum purchase!

Kinda slow at work today so I walked on to the SO truck. His truck is pretty bare bones but did stumble upon this new 1/4 locking wobble extension set. Threw in a beach towel which is awesome because I lost my old one last yr. Extension set is PN 103TMXWKL but it's not on the website

It is now. $212.50.

I picked up the 1/4's this afternoon. It's nice to indulge after working 40+ years but time to take a break :unsure:

!/4 INCH 8,10,12,14 3/8 INCH 12,14,17,19

These will go on the cart and should do most everything.

Great! Now you can work on live circuits!

(When I see tools for live circuits, I think... uh, it's not just tools that prevent me from doing that, it's knowledge! A man has got to know his limitations.)

Danged big pliers wrench! I have those hose clamp pliers and they're pretty neat. I find them a bit overpriced, but hoo boy, the locking version is just bizarrely priced, no can do.

Certainly have no intention of working on live circuits. They were nice since they were free. 😁

The hose clamp pliers sure are dear in terms of price...

I have the locking version of the hose clamp pliers, I don't really like them, I find it gets in the way, always locking when on a quick job that wouldn't require it otherwise.

Thanks! I have plenty of other locking/static things for RotoClip hoses, so this helps me resist yet another Knipex purchase.

I like the Knipex pliers for the simpler/easier access jobs, and they are fast and easy for that. Nice to be able to rotate the pliers while in the middle of a tussle, too.

Note: took me a long time to notice, but the button/teeth adjustment on the hose clamp pliers are "auto adjust" and slide freely towards "smaller" direction, I think. I was surprised that I didn't notice. Normal Cobra operation would have been just fine by me.

Glutton for punishment. Basically don’t need any of it but I can’t resist a good deal on Klein. Not everything is on clearance but most hardline tools are. Pliers are generally $10-15 off. Nut driver set was $25 off but the 7-1 was not on clearance. 11-1 were oddly enough $11.IMG_4606.jpeg

It's ok, you're among friends here. :LOL:

I put a bid on some basically NOS but listed as used USA made Craftsman Wood Pliers set. I received them, I don't think they were ever used at all. Still in the package. I already have a set just like it though although without the largest size. I put a low bid in and won it. Well when I say low I mean against the inflated prices for USA CM stuff these days. I had a feeling it was going to go low because the seller didn't put the model number in the listing. Just "vintage craftsman wood pliers". I didn't need them at all, but couldn't resist the low bid try. I think I paid what I paid 10-15 years ago for that set from Sears with the shipping. So, a decent deal overall.
