Opened it, cones with three grits 40, 120, and 240. And works with the 4.5"
I'm curious what you plan to use it for and how you like it. I bought a couple of the Porter Cable when Lowes closed them out for $20 a couple of years ago. Do you know how this one compares? I have tried it on a couple of things but the PC didn't seem to work that well.Not bad for $54 since it comes with $50 in drums.
Guy told me since it was being replaced with the Hercules version, if you had a failure and needed a replacement, it would convert to a Hercules version.Got it! There's now one left at the store by me. Very glad I checked GJ today. Thanks fellas!
Anyone know the warranty, of any, on this? I didn't buy the extended one but just curious.
YMMV.

Asked me if I wanted to pay $30, I guess was 28, to provide a 2-year insurance policy on it
Been posting here too much lately. May have already bought more tools this year than all of last.
Been looking at this Horror Show (insert SHREEK, SHREEK, SHREEK audio) for too long. And I am not going to tell the story of me spending a couple hours looking for the 12mm deep, thinking I had lost it... Finally looked on the HFT site to realize it's NOT included.
Been searching for reduced wall set to replace the Old Pittsburgh mm deeps and fill some holes at the same time.
Arcan, made in Taiwan, was the cheapest set i could find.
Nice to see the size markings all in the same position. If they were on a rail, the size is visible on every socket.
AHHH, EUPHORIA!
I did need to buy a separate 25mm and went Sunex cause it was the cheapest single in the jungle. This one has China on the sticker but is it really? Makes ya wonder with the nonsense going on and the socket itself is not marked.

The handles are SDD2RTT and FB336DT-1. I ordered them for some custom tools I am making.
Please be sure to circle back and show us the custom tools you're building with those handles!

I've bought and used about 15 of those 1/4" xcelite drivers over the years. They had one that was about 2ft long. TV sets used 1/4" screws that we worked on. The long ones were great for getting way in where you needed to get. The metal is soft, the magnet eventually gets pressed in too far to function. The head is relatively fat. The regular Xcelite non magnetic tools with the hollow shaft are much better quality and last forever, but when you need a magnetic driver for 1/4" screws these were the preferred option, at least back in 1980s.
No one probably cares, just my review. I've used them for 1000s of hours.

York Nut Sheller Co. Inc. "The Texan" nut sheller (patent 2376469 2651342)
There are at least half a dozen of these available online at prices ranging from $10 up to about $35. I was on my way back from Safeway the other day and spotted an "Estate Sale!" sign near the grain elevator, and since I wasn't in any big hurry I stopped.
I was greeted at the door by Carol, one of my mom's neighbors, who came to help out a friend with the sale.
I got there one hour before they were wrapping things up Sunday afternoon, and found this delightful "York Nut Sheller" - in the original box with the original sales receipt from 1961 - purchased, according to the Lady of the House, by Grandpa Winston Eldridge.
Now if I just had a pecan tree....

Picked this up on eBay ($200). Not sure where it originated from, never seen one like it. Motorcycle kit? The sockets are both SAE 3/8”-5/8” and Metric 8,10, 13-15. Pretty sure none of it was ever used.

Also picked up a couple things at Wally World. Trying out the Hyper Tough based on TTC’s results.

Nut cracking is a very satisfying activity. Getting rarer to find nuts in the shell to buy. Shelled nuts are way to easy to eat!

I've been in search of Canadian products recently. You know why. It's a little tricky, because I already have a pretty solid set of tools. I struck gold with this, though:
Mallory 583-EP. Manufacturer's picture, because it's too long for me to take a decent photo. Used it in the storm last week. I thought the swivel head was a gimmick, but nope, it's mint. The brush is a little short, but it's great for my compact car. The squeegee on the back is
.
Might grab a picquic later. Don't really need one, but eh. If you've got other suggestions, let me know!

I got one of those years ago for disassembling Coleman 502 backpacking stoves.
The center burner cup has female threads on it that screw onto the Bunsen. Those threads are always rusted firmly in place. Heat, penetrant and the oil filter wrench on an impact driver does the trick every time, without damaging the cup.
Then I discovered that it works very well for removing oil filters! Who'd a thunk it?
Looks like I need to get one of those on order then. I was doing some digging on figuring out what I needed to redo a cheap Coleman 502 I bought, and it's pretty crusty.
My straight was Power Blue as well. Have no idea what happened to it. Guess I need to get another off the truck. The only problem is that the Snap-On guy shows up much more rarely than does the Mac guy at the respective shops where I meet them.

Feel free to PM me with any questions if you haven't torn into one of these before. I've done over a dozen and just restored another last month:
For now, get your penetrant of choice on every screw you can access. If you can remove the three that hold the burner plate and rings to the bowl, the center of that is where the sticky threads are. I use heat and penetrant before the oil filter wrench on an impact driver. Beats hell out of trying to use a big pair of Channel locks!

“Made in USA with 60% or more US parts”
I kind of don't like the handles, but you can't beat them for the price. Thus, I've got them kicking around everywhere in places where I am shorthanded for flea market drivers, and am out of budget for good USA (though I really like the HFT Quinn handles).
Also, who makes them for Walmart? We all know Western Forge is no more.

Great Neck. Here's a thread I started a few years ago:
Made/Assembled in USA Hyper Tough Hand Tools at Walmart.
I was in Walmart earlier today and I went to the tools section to get some over the glasses safety goggles for a oxy-fuel class I'm taking, and I was surprised to notice that a set of Hyper Tough screwdriver set was "Made in the USA with 60% or More US Parts." I knew that they had made in USA...

My absolutely favorite snow shovels are the Garant brand that my local Ace carries. Made in Canada according to the sticker and outstanding.

I just bought one of those this year (different brands).
Should have had my older son pay for the new one, as he's now broken two of our old ones this year. Doesn't know his own strength, apparently (or, when to put the plastic down and grab a steel shovel to deal with ice)...

Order in from Deen Tools, I was not aware when ordering that they are not Japanese made tool. A bit of a letdown for sure, had I known that I might not have ordered. That is 100% on me. Looking forward to seeing how I like these roto head ratchets. I got two that are 3/8 in a 1/4 body.

A few from the last week or so, most of it from today.
Dasco Pro USA 5/32” pin punches. There have been 3 of them in the clearance bin at Bomgaars for several weeks now at about $4.50. The last time I was there they only had 2 left and they had marked them down to $2.45 so I got em. Harbor Freight long nose pliers. I know, I know, I’m just following the crowd. But I wanted them for my tool bag in the truck. Also picked up a pair of Harbor Freight MIG pliers in anticipation of a new arrival that should make an appearance next week! Got some safety glasses while I was there also. The hammer came from Amazon for $14.48 after I saw it on the Last Best Tool YouTube channel. I liked the duality of it and wanted it for my truck tool bag as well. It’s a little smaller than I anticipated, but it will work. I’ve had the Nano ratchet on my Amazon wish list for a while. Couldn’t really justify it but I thought it was cool. Got a notification that the piece has dropped from $14.99 to $12.99 so I ordered it when I ordered the hammer. It’s cool, not sure I’ll get much actual use out of it though.
So this one was a bit of a surprise. I posted a picture of my Montezuma 30”x19” box on a giveaway post on the Montezuma Facebook group not even knowing what the prize was. Got a message a couple days later that I had won and this showed up today.
Not really sure what I’ll do with it. It doesn’t really fill a need in my shop or function well enough to keep in the truck. I may gift it to my buddy or one of my nephews. Either way it was cool to win something for once!

I'm really curious how you like the set.
I have all the sizes of the overdrive ratchets. I do not have all the sizes of the non overdrive.
My only complaint with them has been the heads seem pretty big but they work pretty well for me. I'm also curious how you like the manual driver. How does it feel in the hand.
Pretty nice score.
