^Something I appreciate about McM-C is that they don't automatically send me massive catalogs when I order online. Places like Mouser, Digkey and Uline drive me nuts with the five-pound catalog (Mouser is closer to ten pounds) every month or so. I order from those places because they have excellent online catalogs that work well.

Did some house and car work for my mom this weekend and as payment she gifted me a Home Depot gift card that someone had gifted her recently. It was good timing as Milwaukee has a buy more, save more deal going so I got 3 bare Milwaukee M12 tools for about $50 each shipped.

A couple things today.

6 ponies

And a dust maker

 

[Kasal]

Stanley tool bag and a couple of tape measures, because you can never have enough.

I totally didn’t need these, but…

Parkside "Dremel" accessoires

How much for that? Very cool.

Parkside "Dremel" accessoires

I almost bought that one too but my dremel is dead.

 

[Wiz02]

Parkside "Dremel" accessoires

All my Drexel accessories are jammed into the dremel case, so that opening the lid spews all the bits and pieces everywhere.

Do I get a case for the overflow? No, I keep jamming accessories back in the originalcasw.

 

[vwpieces]

More Seedy socket rails and Sunex punch flange tool.

 

[four.cycle]

More Seedy socket rails

from?
you surely didn't pay shipping from Australia for those...

They look like a fairly decent set-up. All I see, however, is a 3-piece set.

[rharman]

A couple of things.
Handle that will accept recip, hacksaw, and saber saw blades. Came with blades and a rollup pouch.
Smooth parallel jaw SK pliers.

 

[308guru]

Wow! I always thought of McMaster as a website, didn't even know they had a human on a phone.

They have (and always have) awesome customer service either on the phone or chat.

Same. And I curse for 30 seconds straight, without taking a breath, every time I open the case.

I never use mine because of this.

I like the 3/8 and 1/2, but the 1/4 drive are kind of a waste of space.

 

[Hakeem]

Got a couple Wright combo wrenches in some common sizes but my 5/16” looks like it was broached a bit shallow. Or is this normal for that size?

I could be looking in the wrong spot, but does the linked list show 3/8" for that dimension?

Last months purchases.

From Snap-on guy

Freshly "rebuilt" 14mm. Looks to be brand new. I guess they swapped it.


New cordless screw gun with battery and charger


And new snap-on branded Ernst green and pink plier holders



And one of these expensive ratcheting wrenches 17mm/19mm



And then some second hand new to me stuff:

Unused Snap-on small brass hammer


32mm wrench to my collection of large metric Flank Drive wrenches


14mm spark plug socket to my collection of spark plug sockets


Used brushless 14.4V drill with 2Ah battery. works just fine.

My 5/16” wrench was broached exactly the same way. Drove me nuts.

 

[nbpt100]

Milwaukee metric combo wrenches to add to my portfolio. ASD on the open end and excited to try them.

 

[rockinacummins]

Another Tractor Supply clearance run:

Porter cable 15 packs of cut-off wheels (I should never run out of these, but I do use quite a few) for $8.29 each.

Cotter pin assortment (555 pieces) for $2.99

Digital multimeter to keep in the tool bag in my other truck for $4.59

 

[PelicanPines]

A couple of things.
Handle that will accept recip, hacksaw, and saber saw blades. Came with blades and a rollup pouch.
Smooth parallel jaw SK pliers.

I like those Pliers... mine come on Saturday... how is the quality... were they worth the Coin? Reviews are mixed as to the longevity of them.

 

[Bmxkelowna]

Picked these two sets up off Facebook marketplace. The chrome 1/4 set was 375 Canadian (260usd) and the 3/8 impact set was 350 Canadian (245usd)

They seem OK. I didn't use any points, etc. so $27. Very little slop in the movement. Haven't used them yet - it may be quite a while. They're one of those "Oh, that'll come in handy down the road" kind of things. I just wanted the smooth & parallel jaws. Might be handier than a crescent wrench.

That 5/16" sure looks fucked up to me. Did Wright really say that is normal? Only on that size?

 

[NUTTSGT]

I was in Menards yesterday and spotted these for $7.99. They have the auto adjuster built in. I thought they might work for tight situations and would try them out for $8.

Gearwrench/Apex made in Taiwan.

 

[Etchase]

Nice ratcheting T handle. The double ended bits are compatible with the Craftsman v-series ratcheting screwdrivers, which is one of the reasons I picked it up. Storage case is good, and compatible with Versastack. Takes up a lot of room though.

 

[rockinacummins]

Also, to all you losers with the icon long nose pliers, my store showed 4 in stock but the rack was empty. So I hit up my guy who always helps me when I’m in there and he said he would order some but it would be AT LEAST 2 weeks. I was ready to climb on board but it was not yet my time.

 

[Outlier]

A few items came in from Tekton. I am in desperate need for a better socket storage solution in my work van. The problem is the U.S. General boxes aren't deep enough to fit most of the larger socket trays/organizers. The Tekton branded Ernst one I ordered looks pretty close to fitting. I'm hoping I will just have to trim off the lift points on the ends. I also needed 14mm hex sockets for removing/working on Cascade clamp attachments so I got the impact version in 1/2" and 3/8" drive.

1/2 Inch Drive 3-Rail Socket Organizer Set, 45-Tool (Gray) | TEKTON | USA

The wait for the mythical, unicorn-like Icon long nose pliers has become so long that in a week they'll be several knock-offs on Amazon.

 

[swsman]

New hammer and some extra super glue for when needed.

 

[sqznby]

Who else is a MaxiFlex fan? Recently found these guys and am pretty darn happy with them. Been using 874 for years but they burn up pretty quickly and literally haha. So far going on two weeks with my first set and they're still intact besides a little hole from hitting a grinder. The 874 typically last me a few days at best.
Gotta love some Knipex

The veristack also clip into the Dewalt eqvilants too

Now you can fix whatever you break with the new hammer!

 

[four.cycle]

The last copy of "WrenchWiki" (First Edition, 172 pages) was at the post office waiting for me. Signed by the author, of course.

If you never heard of WrenchWiki, now's your chance! Interesting website. Lots of great information on some obscure tool makers, as well as the better-known ones. Excellent resource.

 

[swsman]

Not sure if you have heard/done this before.
Some of my old wooden handle hammers would get loose at the head.

I cleaned the surface and set it on the bench handle facing up - fed it steady diet of superglue.
Once it all dried off I flipped it on the handle and filled in the glue on the front face.

That was a few years ago, no issues since.

 

[neharr41]

Got lucky and picked up this gently-used set I've been wanting for cheap off Facebook Marketplace. Only paid $3 more than the Icon set would've been, I'd call that a win!


Easily the lowest back-drag I've felt with any sort of ratchet, especially on the larger sizes. And with Flank Drive Plus on the open end. I'm in love!

They have been my go-to shop glove for years. I keep a “clean” pair for woodworking, and another pair for everything else. I‘ll pull on a pair of nitrile gloves over them for real messy stuff. Here in Phoenix, stuff left in the sun for even a few minutes is too hot to hold. These are thick enough to give me protection, but still have great tactile sensitivity.

Count me as another big time maxiflex fan. I used to have to order them online but my local Home Depot finally started stocking them in my size so I don't have to be so good about stocking extras.
