Got a Swiss-made Reilang R009-212 sprayer (300 ml) for, among other eventual uses, applying Swarfega Duck Oil to my tools.

The quality of this thing is impressive. Thick aluminium alloy walls. Effective O-ring cap seal. Brass pump parts. Light trigger action. Lovely wide spray angle (unadjustable, unlike the RZE models that have an adjustable nozzle tip).

Had to pick this up for my swollen nuts. Whoever thought putting a chrome cap on a lug nut was a good idea should be fired.

Fired?

They should be on a manned mission to the surface of the sun.

Spent $63 at ZORO for these 3 Capri extra long box wrenches. Made in Taiwan. They are not the most comfortable wrenches to hold, Williams and Hazet are much better.

Interesting, I have what looks like the same wrenches just in Napa's Carlyle brand. Squared edge is not super nice, but for the price for all five wrenches including the 22/24 was worth it. Invaluable for alignments.

Damn you..... i just ordered 2

I decided to try out these Majestic Cut-Less work gloves.
They fit great and protect your hands when working with sharp edges on metal.

 

[Outahere]

Bought a set (10mm-19mm) of Hazet 3/8"-drive 6-pt deep sockets at Amazon-US for $156, plus $9 import fee (sells for $283 at KC Tools). Shipped from Amazon-Germany.

What's the little metal pin thing for?

 

[EDRJR]

What's the little metal pin thing for?

Punch to drive lug nut out of socket. Usually have to hammer socket onto swollen lug nuts.

Thanks. That's exactly what I would've done if the pin was not provided.

Picked up some Klein clearance items at HD. Last week I picked up a couple of things, but prices were still pretty high on most things, and I couldn't find anyone to unlock the cage with the 1/2-price step drill bits. I went back today and unfortunately the drill bits were all gone. However prices had been reduced dramatically, and although things had been picked over there were still a few deals. Everything in the pic was less than 70 bucks. All Made in USA. I didn't really 'need' most of this stuff, but some of it will go in the little tool box in the laundry room, and some of it will go in the pickup toolkit.

The Tekton wrench set finally made it in for the job box.

To push the stuck nut out of the socket.

I Decided to try out these Knipex shears people like to talk about since KC Tools ran these on sale.

 

[CHI_Tool&Die]

Got my first advent calendar for tools. Can’t wait until the holidays and Christmas now!

 

[Browens]

this week‘s delivery from Amazon.de and Amazon.us

I love the Stahlwille ratchets - right up there with the Kokens but for different reasons.

Not quite sure how I feel about the Hazet driver. There‘s a lot of slop with the bits (Milwaukee/Dewalt/Wiha) which was a disappointment.

 

[Jure]

Not much...36 mm,1/2 12pt Unior socket

 

[Catfishdan]

Got some new hand tools for my work bag to upgrade some of my older stuff. The Wera ratcheting screwdriver is really nice to use. We‘ll see how it holds up. The Tajima folding saw is great. The Milwaukee folding jab saw is gimmicky and hard to use on metal. Maybe it will be better on drywall. I haven’t used the Japanese trim bar yet but it’s really nicely made. The Knipex dikes are awesome.

 

[KnurledNut]

I experienced the same. I finally settled on it being a dedicated bit driver after I found a match made in heaven with the Prestacycle (VIM/FACOM/ICON, etc) bit holding extension. Minimal play, very functional and looks great.

Ouch! Those shafts look about as square as the Proto wrenches we have at work and they just plain hurt to pull on. We have to regularly put roughly 150-175 ftlbs with them and I can't even do it without wrapping a rag or something around them. Even wearing gloves doesn't help much.

Wasn't sure if the metric rbrt wrench set in my last post was worth the money. I had rounded off fittings and bolts on multiple machines this week that my cat wrenches seemed to just make worse but the metric rbrt's were able to break them loose. Definitely a fan and picked up the sae set (SCL14RBRT).

Have you tried using the RBRT wrenches on non-fubar fasteners? Do they work? Do they damage the fastener? Just curious.

 

[jgeoffr]

After my recent rewiring experience where I couldn't find my wire strippers I decided to purchase the Knipex 13 72 8 US-style forged wire strippers. At the same time picked up a few more odds and ends including the Cobra soft grip covers, the 78 23 125 electronic snips with the 60° head, and a pair of 77 22 115 diagonal cutters.

Yeah, I was also curious. I used them to remove the cover plate for checking chain tension on a 246 wheeled skid. Applied a decent amount of torque to break the bolts loose due rtv getting in some of the threads but had minimal bite marks on the fasteners. I could always use them on some non-fubar fasteners on my new job and send you a picture if you'd like.

Sure, I'd be interested to see whatever you're willing to share.

Since I was right there anyway I stopped in HF yesterday to pick up their Doyle ratcheting crimpers that were being compared to (identical to?) Kleins in this recent thread. With the 25% off coupon they were $16 and change. Got to replace a trailer light today so I'll be giving them a try. I've actually never used a ratcheting crimper for insulated splices/terminals before. I've just always used a Snap-on stripper/cutter/crimper as it's only one tool to have to drag with me and smaller that can fit tight places better.

 

[mikeinri]

Do you have a link to where you bought the Sunex crows foot wrenches?

Can't wait to see how well those work for you. I'm tired of ruining crimps with the old fashioned crimpers.

I bought this Koken 3/8" drive extension set from Amazon-US for $51.56 (plus $3.09 import fee). Shipped from Amazon-Japan.

You're going to love using those. Their extensions are top notch.

Picked up another Cigar lighter....

Amazon for the imperial flare crows feet set.

Extendable, indexing, ratcheting, reversible jaw. I just couldn’t help myself. On sale for $17. I’m pretty sure I will never use this.

Can anyone find out if Rube Goldberg holds the patent on that tool? Looks like something he would have come up with.

 

[CFC2]

I don’t have a HD where I live. But just stopped by the second one in two days and two cities I passed thru. All 4 items for $33.82 with tax. Only the angle head diagonal cutters and 4-in-1 pocket screw driver were on sale. There were still some tools left and quite a few meters left. But all the tools on sale seem to be long gone.
