Kind of new. I have been looking for this guy for about 9 years. My wife packed it up when we moved with some furniture instructions 9 years ago. We are getting ready to move again and it turned upoh I have missed it so!
Reminds me of my bed in freshman year of college. That thing ate my favorite hat (after a night at a frat party), and a pair of pink socks (after a night following a party at a different frat).
All of those items showed up on move-out day. Was VERY glad I found those socks, and not my parents or sister, who were there helping...

Thanks for setting me straight, everyone. I ordered the original one from Home Depot. They actually had the slim head one in store, so it was an easy swap.
aww shiii.....

Wanted a 1/4 pocket size bit driver for small fasteners.
Found this K20 stainless steel handle and added the Prestacycle/VIM/Icon/etc bit extension.
Claims USA made.
It came with the two bits pictured.
Well machined. It doesnt accept 1” bits, but holds 2” bits with a full hex shank fine. The hex broach is not full depth, so some power bits will retain but spin. The retaining magnet is very strong. Their is also a flush set magnet on the back end.
I have the K20 pocket pry bars as well, and am very impressed with the detail and quality of their products.

Finally got the LN46ACF that was backordered. 
Also got a few sockets to fill out some sets.
Edited to correct part number.

That is my “in office” EDC light. Very handy.Picked up a Olight Arkfeld flashlight. Nearly blinded myself with the LED. Thankfully not with the Laser.

You can't tell me that "insider extended reach ratchet" is thinner than a M12 High speed with an Astro Nano socket. And that head looks way bigger too. I think I'd pass on that tool and it's bits.
EDIT: and it's cheap how they take a Snapon with a regular length socket as comparison. Compare it to something that is actually trying to be thin. Or compare it to your current offerings.

I wonder if the hex is 17mm and we can use it with nano sockets...
I do like the "60"ft lbs vs current "35" offerings. It may actually spin off crusty but not too rusty hardware.

That's LN46ACF. Some poor ******* would run your part number and be disappointed by the zero results.

What do you use them for? Clean up toe nails?Also picked up a no-name tweezer set. Price was right for the quality and is 1/10th the cost of the Knipex 5-piece set.
Do you have to have a reason to purchase tools?
I had some other over the years and they come in real handy for splinter removal, precision work on my kids toys, and fishing out small items from cracks and crevices around the house.
I just can't imagine the Knipex are worth that much more, and I'm a Knipex fanboy!

Just ordered a set after reading your post.
Splinters would be my #1 use.
But fishing tiny little screws out of tiny little spaces would be #2.
For $10, why not?
The biggest question when buying those is which color piping on the case. Gotta love when that's the biggest decision...
I've got to figure out what other tweezers are out there given the numbers printed on the handles.

I wavered between orange and black a few times.
Ended up going with black, because I’m boring.
If these are good I might buy another set for the bathroom. Then I’ll go orange.

Thanks Wamsutta for pointing in correct part number.
Don't want anyone to be led astray.
thru hole on the right, slim head+slim socket on the left. Some pass through sockets are flush (like a box wrench) while others are offset. Plus you can just use the anvil insert and use your nano socket.
yeah, that caught my attention too and recall a test of a ratchet box wrench pawl mechanism being stronger than a socket wrench's. I hope it's 19mm (tho looks small; maybe 14?) so I can use my sockets.

Yes, I get that, but you still arn't showing the MILWAUKEE pass thru. It looks very thick, just look how long that socket is in the guys hand above. Anyway maybe we should start a new thread on this anyways

Not a tool, but tool adjacent. Starrett literature. Not many companies offer this service to their customers anymore. 
What was your request? Some of my charts are pretty beat up.Not a tool, but tool adjacent. Starrett literature. Not many companies offer this service to their customers anymore.

Under catalogs I guess.
Walmart sent me a stud finder for review. It is actually made in USA from Idaho! I find a place in my garage where I know where the stud is because I put a nail there right in the middle of the stud. And this thing finds the stud like a boss! Once I make sure only the middle three LED light up, the one exactly in the middle is in line with the nail. It is very well made and super easy to use. I highly recommend this unit to any regular homeowner. The only thing it misses from the higher end is the ability to detect electric wires behind the wall and it is clearly stated in the package. If that function is desired, just pay a bit more then.

Got a few things from my favorite Astro supplier. Picked up another metric NANO socket set so, I have a socket set per each of my 78318 long NANO socket ratcheting wrench handles. I would really like to see a 10-12 inch long handle version soon. Maybe a beefier retaining ring too.
I also picked a digital tire inflator, and the new Thor .401 long barrel air hammer.
I have only fondled the air hammer but, it's a lot heavier than my other air hammers. I'll see if I can find something to beat into submission at work to see if it's a heavy hitter. I wanted something beefier but, I wanted the .401 shank since I have a drawer full of bits.

Please update on how the 401 works out for you, especially trigger control. What's your current air hammer of choice, prior to the new addition?

Anyone knows more about these hex keys? Who made them for Cman and are they of higher quality than regular ones? This seems a bit rare. So I am interested in collecting a set. Thanks!

My dad has a set. I don’t know who made them but they feel well made. I use them almost every time I need a hex key at home. If I’m not mistaken I think they have a WF on them for Western Forge but I haven’t used them in a little while so I maybe thinking of something else.
