Keep on Turnin'

Broke this two or so weeks ago (first replacement shipped to an old address). The issue was using the security vs a solid one. Just too weak with the hollow center for an impact. That was my fault. We sure id add some anti seize, just glad nothing stripped.

Next time reference:

Should the head strip out - just drill the head off, carefully of course.

Once the rotor comes off you can get what is left with no issue using pliers.

Nothing big, but the tool helped do a rental property repair (replace a ceiling fan & light). Job finished today, & now I have a new wire cutter.

I'm always amused when I see a pair of pliers that, like yours, clearly say, "DO NOT USE ON LIVE CIRCUIT" that have big holes blown in the cutters.

thanks for the info. have you heard any info on ratchets?

Got the last of my order in, can’t wait to put these to work. I’ve never had a MIG or a plasma of my own but I’ve done plenty of both. Got some jobs lined up to rehab some feed beds and these will make it so much easier. These yeswelders had good reviews and for the price if they last a year, they’ve more than paid for themselves. We’ll see how they do. I still have to pick up a gas bottle for the welder and a pressure regulator for the plasma.

Got these precision squares at an auction a couple
days ago. Is made in Poland a good thing ?

Have the very same pliers, bought them back when I did commercial maintenance. They have treated me well.

For automotive use I have recently added SnapOn PWCS7ACF - like having the stripping portion at the handle versus front.

I had to do that on the Wife’s Honda before. Fun times!

Quit looking in my toolbox.

Oh, all I have to do is look in the shop electrical bag and see what my co-workers have done over the years.

Nothing to get your blood flowing like a big BANG and flash, then utter blindness as the breaker is blown--"Will I ever see again?"

Not that I've ever done anything like that

Walmart has really been stepping up their tool game. They must have hired an actual tool person as their buyer for them.

Yeah I have heard that might be exciting, but of course have never experienced it firsthand....

Don't forget, the guy this happens to is standing on the top step of an eight-foot stepladder working overhead at the time!

Or so I've heard.

No more using sunglasses for plasma cutting and torch brazing!

My wife got me some cheap hose clamp pliers, because I said some bad words trying to remove a radiator hose with channel locks that kept slipping off.

Folks just back off and give me the stink eye when I do that--never buy me tools.

 

[Beerhippie]

Yeah I have heard that might be exciting, but of course have never experienced it firsthand....

The one that used to startle the hell out of me every time was working on an electrical circuit in the shop--locked-out, tagged and checked--when the old DeVilbiss 2-stage would kick in. That usually had me about four feet in the air with a heart rate of 300+, after smacking my head on whatever was above me when I went past.

I swear that old compressor starting sounded like a train wreck from ten feet away.

Then we got a scroll compressor....

Last months purchases

Used SHLF80A to replace my old S831.
New XFRRM810 from my Snap-on dealer.
And used OEXM290B to add to my collection.


Mac tools bolt grip puller set. It might be missing one or two items.


Another one of these pliers holders from my snap-on dealer. I still need one or two more.


Used Snap-on compression tester kit. All hoses are in good condition so I grabbed it.


Incomplete set Snap-on slide hammer kit. Missing some legs. I bought it for the slide hammer itself.

I love my little slide hammer, doesn't get used a lot but it feels good when I do, lol.
I have this set. https://shop.snapon.com/product/Light-Duty/Puller-Set-with-Small-Slide-Hammer/CJ93B

Which it looks like you have parts of and not the cj700 instruction sheet.

I like that 3 jaw setup, more research needed.

 

[Beerhippie]

Here' a "new tool" in that I found it when cleaning out the front "pocket" of that old torch tote:



Esse-Atmos Burner R32515, Made in Australia.

Golden or garbage? They're all over Ebay for about $20, so I'm thinking more on the garbage end of the scale. Website no longer exists.

It's probably something a long-departed boss "got a good deal" on--he was that way.

Doesn't really matter to me, as it isn't made for a little plumber's torch like mine.

 

[JMP]

Most of these I bought on Zoro with a 20% off promo. The Icon Flush cuts I got for $20 + a free paint brush.

some cheap hose clamp pliers

^ those look just like a pair of "Craftsman" hose clamp pliers I own, but yours are prettier. they should get the job done.

not sure why I thought I needed another one, but this arrived yesterday:

Indestro Super 3/8" x 7/16" open-end wrench 03/11/25

Sorry we were setting outside when she grabbed the mail and I had old greasy jeans on. I was greasing the boat trailer wheel bearings.

I played with them and took a hose clamp off of a piece of hose that was getting pitched in the garbage and they seemed to work fine. No more than I work on hoses I don’t need SnapOn when a No Name set from Amazon will work.

I didn't even check that the instruction sheet was from another set. Haha.
Your's is the set I wanted, but this was for sale for 70 euros so I grabbed it. Slide hammer is CJ-125, other parts are CJ-93-something, two are CJ-93-xB and one part is CG240. I am missing most of the jaws. Any idea what the part numbers are? Are they the A78-3 and A78-4?

I missed a great deal on CJ2400 (for 350 euros), so now I am putting together similar set piece by piece.

Not sure on part numbers, I bought use too, mine was used hard and some was beat up. Replaced under warranty lol
