Went to pick up this 2nd hand router only to find that it's brand new in box, never been taken out!
Score!
Not top of the line by any means, but should do everything I need it do and more.

Channellock and Lang prybars
Where did you get the Lang pocket pry bars? I haven't seen them on Amazon. Only seen them rebranded on the Matco truck.

Just received a few days early. This thing is built like a tank.

No clue why I waited so long to get a Rivnut tool. But this thing is awesome.
Too bad that with shipping they are only a few dollars off the Matco truck.
A bit cheaper from Epstein's, but I'd have to buy something else to make that shipping cost worth it.

Over the past few years, I've been supplementing my standard Hansen carbon steel tap/die set with HSS versions from McMaster or MSC. I've got most of the SAE sizes in UNC and UNF. Expanded the top size to 1". At nearly $100 each, I'm not buying the 3 tap set in this size.
I also added to my metric collection.
I have a few older tools to restore, and they have some pretty stuck fasteners, so I added this hand impact driver to my collection, along with some other bit sizes and some standard impact driver style straight bits.

I have the Lang two piece set. I can't remember where I bought it, maybe Jersey Discount Tools? If not, probably Epstein's with some other stuff.

Needed a long reach pencil for random holes. Found these at Amazons Warehouse Deals... $10... their regular price is $19... so I needed only ONE pencil but this is Garage Journal ... plus it came with a carbide scribe...

I never paid much attention to pocket hole jigs but this thing is awesome. I don't know why but I very surprised how strong the joint is.
The test piece. I'm building an outside planter.

On the road for work. I had to order a 3/4”dr. 17mm hex socket. Got this Wright from McMaster. Not sure how well the new (ie: round) shank will hold up vs. the older hex, I guess I will find out this week. Got a bunch of bolts to torque to 500ish lbs/ft.

Picked up a seemingly unused T72 Snap-On 1/4" ratchet.
Purchased a Mac 5.5mm socket off eBay, was decently used but no red flags. Showed up cracked and with owner markings. Went to return it and seller just refunded and said keep it. Free 5.5mm socket that I'll warranty.

You've been hanging out with @BlakeTheCarGuy ? That's his warranty movePicked up a seemingly unused T72 Snap-On 1/4" ratchet.

@Meursault74 Free is for me
After seeing this 90 degree gearless drive mentioned here on GJ, I had to check it out for myself. Don't know if I'll ever use them but fascinating tools nonetheless.
The 1/4" version needed lubricant and still doesn't rotate as freely as the 3/8" version. They also make a 45 degree version.
Ordered via Amazon: CalVan 90 Degree Gearless Drive
And if you didn't see it before, here's how it works: YouTube Demo
Another tool for tight quarters like that is the FACOM rotator ratchet:
I got one. and like all FACOM, it's well built, but the one time I really was in a somewhat tight spot and wanted to put it to use, I needed to put my other hand up in there to steady it (I think I had deep socket on it) and well, trying to fit two hands up in there, if I had that kind of room, well, you know, a regular ratchet...
But sure, someday it might save the day!
Unfortunately the warranty is only for the original purchaser, so you don't have a warranty on a resold tool

They don't ask you to send your receipt so
I will in fact be warrantying my resold tool.

I rarely need snap-ring pliers, but the $30 Icon 8-Piece set was a deal to good to pass up.

This I got a while ago and never really posted it here as I didn't think it worth tge mention but it's since become the 1st screw driver I pick up now and it inspires as much confidence as my US made SK , US made Stanley and Klein screw drivers. Quality has far exceeded my expectations for a $5.99 screw driver. I've destroyed "better "screw drivers doing less.
While I was pleasantly surprised I think this highlights the problem of consistency with these HD and lowes brands as one never knows what they'll get as my other set of husky screw drivers was absolutely horrid that I bought on the same day. Same name on the box , vast difference in quality.
One can watch a YouTube channel like project farms but ive found that a 2 year review is outdated as they keep changing countries of manufacturer etc and for example the craftsman screw drivers he reviewed 2 years ago as made in Taiwan and scroing very high are now made in China or India etc and are essectialy a different product , and in Craftsmans case , a different product with the same model number as are the wrenches etc.
I'm not bashing anyone on country of manufacture but rather lack of consistency.

That fraud is on your conscience then, but if people keep doing that they will start requiring receipts or limiting warranties like so many companies have had to do because of this kind of fraud.They don't ask you to send your receipt so

I usually pick those up those whenever they are on sale. They were one of the extended BF deals. One for the shed, garage, drawer and tool bags.
And two different sizes of nut drivers.
