I’m not sure when this was released, but it seems to be a Cornwell exclusive despite looking similar to all the other Mayhew-style prybars. 72” Prybar!

Bahco 140mm/5.5" cutters. Never knew these existed, I like the way they feel (in this size) & function. The spring action can be "turned off & on" which I thought was pretty cool. They're kind of expensive IMO but found a great price for them on ebay. Made in Spain.
So the way I found out about these is a coworker tried to turn his into flush cuts with I assume the disc sander at work. We use flush cuts a lot a work. Well that didn't turn out so well. He asked me if if I could "fix" them. Told him I've never tried doing anything like that but I'd try & I think I should be able to. I made a glass platen for my lil Jet belt sander which is perfect for this.
After I reprofiled them they cut very nicely as flush cuts. I didn't expect them to cut so well & that's when I decided I had to have one. But now I'm not so sure of turning mine into flush cuts anymore, still undecided. These come in 125mm, 140mm, & 160mm. They do sell them in flush cuts but only in 160mm/6.3". I really like the 140mm size.

Once I have some time I plan to test it out. I will post all about it in my original thread. I can't find anything online about this kit.

Williams WSBD-7RC 3/8” Dr 8-Point sockets from Zoro. Ran into a few different square heads lately and figured I could use a set.
The finishing in the sockets leaves something to be desired but I have no doubt they’ll turn nuts and bolts just fine. Thought the mix of different Williams typeface was interesting.. Half one way, half the other.
SK USA stubby offset wrenches in metric from eBay. Really like the look and feel of these.

I've got two Bahco products that I can think of right now, in the "yard" side of the Underground Lair. A bow saw and a pair of pruners. Bow saw is just fine. Pruners are fantastic.
Pic from the tubes:
For all of my jabbering about comfort grip Knipex and rubbery grip Snap On ratchets -- these things are just painted steel but fit in the hand just right! No dropsies. And they feel like they're going to last forever. Just basic, old-fashioned stuff, executed properly.

Somebody around here is always talking about how he likes the soft rubbery grip option on Snap On ratchets. I just picked up another one from ebay.
Snap-On SHR80A, 1/2" drive ratchet, comfort grip, quick-release button, used.
Sturdy, heavy, a foot long.
A few light scratches from use, a tiny price to pay to not pay retail on this, which is a lot.
OK, had a lot of trouble taking all of these pictures. Many helpers.
The majority of my Snap-On (used) Dual 80 ratchets here:
Left to right: New 1/2" dr., long 3/8" ratchet, regular 3/8" ratchet, and the little ol' box of rocks Sears CMan 3/8" ratchet I survived with since the 80's. (Many other ratchets came between that and my breaking down and buying a used Dual 80.) As you might guess, all of the years with the CMan RP ratchets got me used to a flippy lever for change of direction, and a quick-release button.

I thought I'd give these a try, the jaw is narrower than standard water pump pliers. They'll come in handy on certain occasions.

Thanks, it took a while to choose a color and I'm happy I went with this one. It looks even better in person.
I've only got 2 other things from Bahco which I don't really count. A 10mm & 12mm square 3/8 drive sockets. Only got them because of the design/shape compared to others. I had a heck of a time getting them too. Had to buy them over the phone from the UK. Laser engraved (not a fan of) & not made in Spain so I don't think much of them but they work for my needs.
I was gonna buy a Bahco hacksaw, was the same as Snap-on at the time, just different color. I ended up getting another/newer Facom hacksaw.
I pray that I'm never in my life in a situation where I need a pry bar that long...I’m not sure when this was released, but it seems to be a Cornwell exclusive despite looking similar to all the other Mayhew-style prybars. 72” Prybar!

The great thing about used is you don't need to worry about putting the first scratch on them. And if you inadvertently use them for an unintended purpose, like a combination hammer/ratchet, you can blame it on the previous owner!Somebody around here is always talking about how he likes the soft rubbery grip option on Snap On ratchets.

What in tarnation? Now son, ah say ah say you've got to use the right tool for the job! You want to go a beatin' and a bangin' with a ratchet, you need a Wera Koloss!

What's the main difference between the two drivers? BTW, the PS41 looks a lot like the Craftsman 1/4" Nextec that I have. I've dropped it off ladders. Used it as a persuader. Thrown it. It's still one of my most used tools. Battery last months without a charge.Outfitting an additional roller. Some duplicates of stuff I already have, some not.

Good luck with your diagnosis.Got this scan tool today from my parents when I got home. It’s an early birthday present. My birthday is Tuesday so one week from today. Really excited to use this. The reason I got it early is because my friend called and said she was stranded at work her car cut the check engine light on and cut off right away so I have to go diagnose it. I had a small code reader but that was it.

I forgot to mention, I have no urge for Dual 80's in the 1/4" dr. format -- that's how much I love my 1/4" dr. HF Pittsburgh Pros!*

* Of course, I wish the comfort grip handle was softer/grippier.

Fixed
I have the Innova 5160rs, which is from the company that makes those for HF - I think it's one step about that one (ZR15s equivalent).
Anyway, I've been pretty happy with it. The interface is only OK, but my much-more-powerful Autel Maxicheck MX900 is frankly over my head in a lot of ways. The Zurich/Innovas comes with an app that helps translate and diagnose, though it doesn't do well with multiple errors. If I had it to do over again, I probably buy the Innova 7111 (their tablet-based scanner)

Courtesy of @BlakeTheCarGuy. First foray into the Matco ratchet family and I got to admit it’s actually way nicer than I expected. I can’t wait to give it the beans. Also feels pretty fitting having an IL-made ratchet putting in the work at an IL tool and die shop.

Good morning to me. Vigor, Nut pressure pliers. Mayhew, 10" long hook. Facom, 3/8 13mm magnetic socket. It is not very easy to find tools from the USA in Spain and even less at a fair price, so when I saw the Mayhew hook I decided to try it immediately, it is comfortable on the hand and it feels resistant.

How do you order from amazon jp? do you need another acc or something? i tried and didnt work for me last timeTone ratchets arrived today, ordered on Amazon; shipped from Japan. Really impressed with the compact head design. Silky smooth ratchet mechanism.
Comparison photo; all 1/2" drive.
Jonard utility snips (Taiwan):
I have those same scissors, I don't use them for cutting fiber optics though. Was one of the very last things I purchased from Fry's Electronics before they started going down hill.
I also have the belt clip holder for them too (wasn't sold at Frys) but I don't use it for belt carry, I actually took the clip off.
I have a few things from Jonard, seems like they're not that popular or well known & IMO they aren't a top quality brand but some of their stuff is decent.
