How many bits fit inside the handle? I have always liked handles with bit magazines.

Picked up the Quinn 1/4" master set the other day with the 20% coupon. First impressions are it is a nice set. Gearwrench clone 90t ratchet. This is for the work truck. At around $40, I think it's a good value. Tekton set is a bit more expensive. However with the few bucks I saved. I did add a Tekton stubby ratchet, 15mm sockets, 1/4 micro extension, and magnetic bit holder. I may ad a flex ratchet later on.

Got these three on the Black Friday special.
I've used the 1/4" enough to say it's my favorite 1/4" ratchet right now. Tried the 3/8" for one thing. It was awkward. I switched back to a long handle flex-head. The 1/2" will probably lay in my box for years until that one time it's perfect for something (hopefully).

Bunch of new stuff, needed to make a few purchases before the end of the year. These cutters for the machine below, which I bought (posted up) and have recently completed "restoring". Basically just cleaning, checking and repainting the messed up areas.
Big Gedore wrenches, the originals for this machine are long gone, but in standard German fashion they are usually just basic no-brand DIN stamped wrenches. I'm impressed by Gedore in this instance, these wrenches are really nice, most of the stuff I have from them is a bit more rough and ready than I prefer but high quality in the aspects that quality matters.
Imported the sliding table from Germany, it's also old. Repainted it, replaced the bearings and handles. The handles were nice but pretty beat up. Repainted the silver plates and had a fellow make me a replacement for what was previously a sticker decal. It's now an aluminum plate.
This was way more work than I anticipated. I knocked it into parts, cleaned and repainted. Gun-blued a few bare parts and resurfaced the aluminum handles. Not sure what happens in shops that someone ends up putting dings into an aluminum wheel on top of a machine like this, but it took some doing to get them all out.
Same for the front of the feeder, I guess some idiot fine tuned his settings with a ball peen hammer because the upper part of it had hammer dings all over it that I ground out. At least nothing was cracked, they must have fired him before he had the chance to crack all the aluminum covers.

Added some more German-branded and German-made tools to the work tool box. Took advantage of KC Tool’s Grey Friday special for some stuff. The star is the Picard hammer. I love the feel of the hickory handle. I regret buying all the metal and fiberglass hammers I have. Should have gone all wood as it just feels so much better.

I'm with you. I have never cared for any of my fiberglass handled single jacks or sledges and then a few years back jumped on the Trusty-Cook bad wagon and bought a bunch of theirs. I don't care for any of them. It's probably just me but they just don't fit square in my hand like my good hickory handled ball peen hammers do.

I've been wanting to get an upholstery set for awhile. I've seen some videos of techs using them for a lot of things other than trim panel removal. It will be like the seal removal "pick" tools that I bought about a year ago- I've used them to release automotive electrical fittings, prying and to remove exactly one o-ring. The Astro set was about $30 delivered from Home Depot and looks pretty well put together. I had to take the tools out of the storage tray because my toolbox isn't big enough to store it...Hmmm, maybe I should get a new toolbox?
The M18 batteries are a leftover from the "Black Friday" sale at Home Depot. An employee actually went and looked for the batteries for me! I had to double-check that I was at Home Depot.
The Rockler jig is to help me install a few Blum undermount drawer slides. I probably don't need it, but it was on sale for $25 so why not?

Got this Proto 6012F torque wrench for a mere pittance. Don’t really have a great need for it, but I couldn’t refuse. I’m not sure how old it is, but it seems to be in good shape.

What's the make / model of those? Bonus points for source / link.
I have no clue what they are, but they look handy, and I feel like I'm a YouTube tutorial away from buying them!

Probably available from other offshore vendors.

I haven’t, but Joe has been kind enough to give me guidance along the way as I’ve been working on this machine. He restored a T23 a few years ago. Joe also recommended the Rangate tooling.
Excuse my ignorance, but what is the purpose/application of these? Obviously I never needed one as I don't know what they are for, but I'm not a cat so curiousity won't kill me...Roloc disc pads in 76mm, 50mm, 38mm and 25mm

The most comparable S-Jaw Knipex Swedish Pipe Wrench is their 83 30 020 which you'll be lucky to find one of those for under $100. It is about 1" longer than the 21" HF.
Knipex's next smaller length S-Jaw Swedish pipe wrench is their 16-1/2" model 83 30 015 which run ~$60 and up everywhere I looked. That much more and losing 5" of leverage doesn't sound like such a great deal to me. Knipex does also have quick adjust versions that cost $30-ish and up more than those.
I've looked at the Snap-on and Bahco versions of these for years, but they cost 2 to 4 times what the comparable Knipex goes for, which is just too rich for me. Looks like I'll be grabbing up one of those 21" HF ones next time I'm up that way.

Thanks guys. T*** is the virus of the internet (or at least, Google's ad "services"). Seriously, can't get through 2 minutes of surfing without seeing something being hawked by T***...

My stuff showed up late (according to them) so they gave me a $5 credit.. but you need to spend $10 to get free shipping... So I ended up buying three more things to get over $10, which after tax etc ending up costing me $9.20.
The real pisser is the 50+ emails I got between the first purchase & it showing up in my mail box. After this second purchase shows up I'll block them.

A few NOS tools from Cripe Distributing
Allen #2 Phillips screwdriver
Southwire #2 Phillips screwdriver
Armstrong #0 Phillips screwdriver
Napa 7" prybar
Allen 3/8 socket sets (metric and SAE)
Bosch 2" #2 Phillips bits
All made in the USA except the sockets. The bosch bits were added last minute to bring the total with shipping to an even number. Don't question how that logic justifies buying more tools for too long lol

Yeah but his sister is screwing me over on buying tools… vs. house **** LOL.Well, he is screwing your sister.
Never heard of Temu until this thread. Seriously.
That is true. But I probably use them in a cordless drill 10x as much as die grinders. Especially with bristle discs.

New pair of these fancy jaw Channellock pliers. I like that style jaw a lot. I use the Knipex style of those at work so I wanted a pair the same size for the house these were I think $13 with the coupon at the hardware store. I use my vise grips with this style jaw all the time so I think these will be handy. And these some 4 inch needle nose vise grips. I know made in Taiwan as they are old stock but still I’ve had decent luck with the Taiwan and old USA ones so I picked them up. Not sure what year they dropped Taiwan and went to China completely. I really didn’t need them but they were also cheap with the coupon and since they aren’t made in China they should at least be decent. Haven’t decided if I’m going to open them or not lol. Might be one of those things I sell haha. I got both these last weekend just haven’t had a chance to post. I’ve already used the Channellocks. I got dad a pair as well he has also used his already on his big rig so money well spent.four.cycle

^ Petersen manufactured the 4LN and 6LN for a number of private label accounts. I have two NOS pairs of 4LN PROTO branded Petersens I found on ebay fairly cheap. Not sure who else Petersen private-labeled for.

Both orders (2x the deal each) were in pick up lockers. I loaded a cart and went out the door, a kid doing carts gave me a double take. I'm guessing he thought I just walked out the door with them!Some poor homer, "Excuse me sir but you want how many batteries again?"
