Store close to work was out according to the website. Not going to the next closest which is 40+ minutes away.
Having applied the Fluid Film to a few shop tools now, I have to agree. It isn't just funky, it's just plain foul. I also goes on thicker than I'd like.
Add me to the list
My store may have only received two, as that's how many he brought out, along with one or two of the 11" long cutters. They made no effort to put these, or the Icon 11" cutters out in the plier aisle, just returned them to the stock area.The seams always held up well, the finger tips always worn through on my older gloves. My recent ones have a different "fuzzy"problem....
ooohhhh noooo@Monte -
^ That "Spring Tools" center punch is a must-have. You can toss all your other center punches in the trash. Way mo' betta.
No hammer required!
The inventor is really quite an innovator.

Congrats on your green card, and also your new tools. This line on the envelope the card came in seemed a little freaky tho: "We recommend use of this envelope to protect your new card and to prevent wireless communication with it." I thought, who the hell is sending messages to people's green cards? But then I googled and answered my own question:

Did you say "ammo can Faraday cage"?Congrats on your green card, and also your new tools.

Wireless communication with Green Card?
I received my 10 year Green Card last week (yay!), and it came with the little paper envelope that always come with cards from USCIS. But this time was the first time I actually paid attention to what was written on the little envelope. It says: "We recommend use of this envelope to protect your ...
So apparently there are reasons - but I would probably keep it an ammo can Faraday cage anyway so it won't get telemarketing calls or open garage doors and things like that.
Did you say "ammo can Faraday cage"?
Remember: It's not really a Faraday cage unless it's grounded.
Note: Does not fit well in trouser pocket.
You have to ground the tinfoil!
I used mine twice today for actual things I needed them for and so far am pretty impressed by them!Another one bites the dust …

I don't know about you, but I would have made it a point to let the snap on guy know the pink socks were a gift for my momNew Snap-on arrivals this week. He was the only tool truck to show up this week which is unusual. Usually he doesn’t show up except once a month but he has been on it here recently.
First a spindle rethreader set. Probably could have gotten this cheaper from somewhere else but it was convenient and we have this one tech who messes up these threads all the time so I want to be the one who is prepared lol. I need to get the tool to unstake the axle nuts too. On Toyota it will pull threads if you try to take it off when still staked. Learned that the hard way so I don’t do it anymore. I only do it for fun on junk non warranty axles now.
Then some small hose pinch off pliers. And some very sturdy plastic trim tools and scraper tools.
Brake caliper compressor tool for the Tundra, Sequoia and 4Runner and Tacoma brake calipers on the front.
Then semi deep chrome 1/4 drive sockets. I have to admit when I first saw semi deep sockets I thought it was the dumbest thing ever but the 3/8 ones have changed my opinion on that completely and you never realize how convenient and needed these things are. The quarter inch ones are going to serve me well and probably my bay neighbors too as they always borrow my 3/8 ones.
And mom always complains that I don’t ever bring her anything from the tool truck so I got her some pink socks and she likes them. I don’t know how anyone could stand ankle socks but that’s just me lol.
Oh I did. He asked lol.I don't know about you, but I would have made it a point to let the snap on guy know the pink socks were a gift for my mom
I actually am lol. I’m wearing a pink Carhartt shirt today. I don’t have anything against pink but medium ankle socks won’t fit me haha.
Nice additions. I found I did not need all the height on that Franklin scaffold. I shortened the legs to the braces, which made for a more comfortable working height for my 6'1", and also made the step up more comfortable. YMMV depending on your age and height.2 new items today
I wanted it to be taller (& wider compared to the other one they had) for using with my F250 and for washing the roofs on the Edge and Explorers.
Likely shipping from different locations. I have ordered individual wrenches from Zoro and had them come as more than one shipment because they pulled stock from different warehouses depending upon availability.After some mysterious tracking via FedEx, one of two things I ordered from Zoro Tools finally showed up:
What is odd is that I ordered two things: the bit driver set above, and a can of food-grade silicone spray that I wanted for my aquarium service business. Two things - same order - became two FedEx shipments. OK, I get that spray cans require different handling, but the two shipments were on the same schedule, showing delivery for yesterday. The bit set showed up at 7:50 this morning -- the silicone spray has yet to arrive.
Back to Wera: very impressed by this kit. Heavy duty case with both a wide loop on the back and Velcro on that. They included a stick on velcro base patch to put.....somewhere....a person would want to hang the kit for easy reach. Very well made - both tools and case.
I don’t know about you, but I Cringe every time something is shipped to me FedEx. Never makes it when it is supposed to, and often takes an out of the way detour.After some mysterious tracking via FedEx, one of two things I ordered from Zoro Tools finally showed up:

Both boxes show the same point of origin, but one went to a FedEx location in Lenexa, KS [suburban KC] and one Olathe, KS {4 miles south of the other] There has been no update on the box with the silicone spray, so it's likely lost at their warehouse for a while.
Totally agree, if it's "smart post", delivery date increases by 10 days to two weeks or the package vanishes into the sub-ether.
That fiasco is over, the teamsters will be delivering sure post again as a regular UPS delivery. DISCLAIMER, There may be a few things still coming by Post Office due to the crazy weather that we've had the last week or so when the contract ended.
Forget packages, my US mail, which is mostly junk, if it gets delivered at all, is delivered after 7pm when the weather is clear and dry.
Are you aware that Icon is releasing an updated set that includes sockets this year? It was at November's SEMA show.Arrivals from Wren Hand Tools. With all the hype I see regularly for the Icon meme tool bit set, I figured I would share some alternative options from Toptul for anyone wishing the set came with sockets.
Smaller Toptul is GADW2701. Larger is GADW4501
I had seen that on social media. Truth be told, I’ve had these Toptul sets since the first half of 2024 but just got around to posting. Thanks
Same, most of that here is the result of overbuilding and the many 100+ mailbox clusters that the PO made the builders installed. Pre the transplant invasion my mail came religiously every day btw 1000 and noon. Mondays it arrives at 1900 hours or later and as the week goes on anywhere btw 1600 and 1800 hours regularly. You can't build 30,000 new homes in the county and expect the infrastructure to keep up.
No transplant invasion here, homes are 35 years old. I have no idea why local USPS service is problematic, since a package tracker typically show packages arriving at the Philly distribution center, then they go AWOL.
I am not surprised by the scissors being imports. I ran into the same thing when I was looking to upgrade my kitchen shears (they look identical to those). Even the some of the Wusthof offerings were made in China.Some odds and ends off the Snap On truck.
Foam for picks
A few replacement picks / seal tools
New ratcheting hard handle
A handful of 10mm sockets as spares
Pair of scissors (these were an impulse purchase, I was a bit disappointed to find that they're imported, but they are well made)
I didn't see my explanation about the sure post system leaving USPS as yelling at clouds, I shared what I knew about it going away after someone complained how bad it made deliveries and I explained why the USPS (here at least) would be helped by UPS (teamsters) taking it over again and was good for my location.
I was referring to me yelling at clouds over things that I can't control, not you.
