Ahh, the marker I wish people would use for yard sale signs. Around here they practically use a pencil and write cursive. You have to pull over, get out, squat down, and put on your readers to see that the sale was last week.

the "king size" and the two "chisel tip" models are the ones I got last night at Walgreen's.
it remains to be seen whether Monte's unit is larger.

Mac warrantied impact sockets. The old ones were pretty beat up.
Was at Menards again tonight. I'm planning on going with I bigger air compressor in the enclosed trailer and thought about putting a quick connect on the countertop.. so I need a short hose. I figured this Flex Zilla whip would work.
Also spotted some quick connects for $1 each and grabbed 5 of them.

A few things from Black Friday sales and beyond. First up, HAZET 916HPLG fine tooth extendable 1/2 drive ratchet. This thing is a heavy beast. Next up, Craftsman V series pliers wrench CMht82250. Last up, Ko-Ken RS3015M/8-L62 ring grip metric bit socket set 3-8, 10, 12 mm sizes. quite a price difference on this set, shop around. Ko-Ken 2137 hex bit holding socket, and a 2120 magnetic attachment for their 1/4 drive flexible driver/extension.

Did Snap-on take over Malco Eagle Grip's manufacturing facility?

I never had luck with liquid levels.... I always had a RABID air bubble in the hose that messed up the measurement. Thankfully lasers came out and work well. I needed "Balls ON" accuracy...Got myself a liquid level from Speedway Motors. Fairly well made, brutally simple.
Bought one of these years ago for a friend of mine and his corner balancing scales for his race car preparation, which is how they're marketed. Price has crept up since, and I'll be using this for some landscaping/drainage work.
Black bases are solid plastic with female threaded holes for the brass barbs.
This baffled me for a while, then I checked the Speedway website and the flakes in this vial are dye for the water. Last time we just used yellow Prestone windshield washer fluid.
Two downsides to this: on each tube, an inch is half an inch of distance. Also, potential meniscus effect affecting an accurate view. But it's fast and easy and gets you pretty darned close with ease.
Liquid Level with 12 Foot Hose
Essential to achieve accurate chassis set-up. Quick and easy, simply fill with fluid. Use for leveling scales or wheel pads. Impact resistant, two 12" containers and 12 ft. connecting hose. Scale pad is not included and is shown in the photo above for product use and function illustration...www.speedwaymotors.com

Do you have the model numbers of those new pliers? I can't seem to find them on the website.
Edit - I found them. LP5WC and LP5LN

Not a true NAPA wrench thread but discussion about it.
Carlyle flex head ratchet- A+
I just picked up one of these, 3/8, 12”, small flex head. I’m impressed , nice ratchet. NAPA lists a rebuild kit for it. On sale for 33 frogskins. https://www.napaonline.com/en/p/CHTR38F

I believe you mean “Balls on, dead accurate “
It’s an industry term.

I used the shorter term.... "Balls On Accurate"... or BOA... as in snake...
For a point of reference... it was for leveling an Electron Microscope... I had several career paths in my yootes.

I believe it's the DOBA specifcations. Dead On Balls Accurate. NIST hasn't adopted it, but they should

Great. Now there’s going to be another 500th random Chinese tool brand selling on Amazon named DOBATOOLS
i have a fancier one of these, which also does USB C, showing voltage and current (and power) at the same time. It's very handy to figure out if somehting is charging or dead, dead, dead, and to watch power draw over time. I don't use it all that often, but knowing what a device that's misbehaving is doing is worth the price of admission (it cost about $30 at a phone repair place, but they're readily available online.)OK, file this under "impulse buy"... But it could be handy. I do a lot of IT/electronics diagnostic stuff, and it's handy to know voltage/current draw (or current output capability) of certain devices. Normally I would use a meter and a butchered USB cable. But this handy-dandy little inline voltage/current reader is only the size of a flash drive! Very handy, and it was on clearance at Menards for $9.95. I saw the package and I thought "USB Multimeter, huh, where do the probes connect?". I thought it was an on-screen actual multimeter. It isn't that at all, but it's still neat, and totally worth $9.95 to me.
I tested a few of my chargers with my phone attached as a load:
I was kinda hoping it showed volts and amps at the same time, but it switched back and fourth about every second or two.

Your purchase seems to be of British origin.
Yes, the box is a battery (or ”accumulator”) box.
P & G were Pritchett and Gold, once Britains biggest accumulator manufacturers, better known by their trademark “Dagenite”!
The contents are all things commonly found in the U.K.
The box is probably worth the €19 on it’s own.
The copper grease is a very good anti seize grease that’s excellent in damp conditions, but works equally well in the dry!
Hope you got a discount, what with those being damaged so badly in shipping.
Are those not needle-nosed?

I went looking at one of my Harbor Freights for those today and the dude said they must have been stolen because, he couldn't find them
He went on to say that people stole the Icon stuff as fast as it went on the shelf.
I might have to bite the bullet and order them online.
