Really like how much you've done on the Buick! (when better cars are built? BUICK will build them!)
Thanks! As you could tell the Bikes are pretty dusty from all the work on the Buick. By spring the Buick will be on its wheels and the bikes will be shiny again!Some "Sure Fine" Scooters...

Oh, nope, that's right: I replaced the asinine wheel bolts with pressed-in wheel studs! Problem solved, permanent-like.

So I wanted an under carriage for my Hypertherm plasma but I did not want to pay what they wanted for one! There were a few new in the box models on eBay so I got one.....
Only problem was they did not have any for my machine, only the smaller 65 and 85 amp models.....
so a little stretch and section operation and......
It works!

Not really new as I bought it about 2 weeks ago, but I really like how this performed.

Not to side bar the conversation but your thumb looks like a heavyweight thumb wrestling champion.

lol, just noticed that... I think that is an artifact of the very wide angle lens and being on the edge of the frame, as my thumb is *not* that big!
Proof I have a (relatively) normal sized thumb...

An early Christmas gift from a friend that's leaving to spend the holidays with family. I've never tried a pair of diagonal cutters with an angled head before but he claims they're going to change my life lol
Or if cutting a live wire suddenly puts you in the dark.

I thought the angled head was what distinguished diagonal cutters from side cutters.An early Christmas gift from a friend that's leaving to spend the holidays with family. I've never tried a pair of diagonal cutters with an angled head before but he claims they're going to change my life lol

This is why it's important to always cut both conductors at once!
Yeah, but that only produces a brief flash of light. These things keep the rave going way after lights-out!

I meant to be sure to trip the breaker so you don't get a surprise when you close the circuit with your hand.

As far as I know both terms are used interchangeably for any cutters with that wedge style of cutting blades.
From Wikipedia:
Diagonal pliers (also known as wire cutters or diagonal cutting pliers, or under many regional names) are pliers intended for the cutting of wire or small stock, rather than grabbing or turning. The plane defined by the cutting edges of the jaws intersects the joint rivet at an angle or "on a diagonal", giving pliers their name.
Also, the entire head on these is angled, not just the jaws.

Saves one trip to the panel, as well.

And now you know just which breaker energizes that circuit--seeing as you were wrong the first time.
To exhausted to really set up for nice pictures. I might take new ones on Monday when I get to work. CAT 4 way angle wrenches 13/16 - 1 1/4, 1/4 sockets 4 - 14 shallow and 5 - 14 deep. Not pictured 3 position slip joints because there's no CAT logo and there was a good portion of thigh in the picture I did take.

Sometimes it the simple things that are the best. Why did I not have one of these for the past 30 years. I only picked this up last week when I saw it for the first time.
You know how many cans of pipe dope, pvc glues, rubber cement or contact adhesives I've destroyed in my life opening them with Channellocks.

I don’t know about life changing but when you know you know. Those are the only ones I buy. They are great for pulling nails and staples in addition to cutting.An early Christmas gift from a friend that's leaving to spend the holidays with family.

Yea, he said that and they do look like they will work great for that. I'm always for multi-use/purpose tools so long as it doesn't hinder the main function.
I have the same ratchet. Yours is stamped much nicer than mine. It belonged to my Grandfather-In-Law. I wish that I had all of the sockets. I'm lucky to have what I have. Maybe someday.Snagged this SK 1/4” ratchet today. I’ve already got a bunch of SK 1/4” sae sockets and a few metrics.

For the new SKIL Table Saw.
1) Diablo 8" DADO Set.
2) Diablo 3 pc 8-1/4 blades. (Interesting that they delivered 3 seperate packaged blades rather then the packaged 3pc Combo Set shown on their website. ( No matter because they were the same price. Saved several dollars by ordering them as the 3pc Combo Set rather then individually. Go figure ).
3) Milescraft grabber type Push Stick ( I have a larger Milescraft specialty grabber set coming which should get here before or right after X-Mas ).

I’ve been wanting to put together small vintage kits for him to start out with and decided SK would be best since it’s got a higher tooth count. It’ll give him something to use when working on his bike and go kart or if he wants to help me do something on the cars.
A few Stahlwille 4107 series wrenches. I was not necessarily in the market for more offset wrenches. Few weeks back, the algorithm showed me the 41071213 at a decent deal. I found I really like the feel and it offers some variety in shape and size over other offset box ends I have. So I added the 1011 and 1314 which covers my most used. I think I’ll go back to fill in the rest from 8mm to probably 19mm.
The depth of the broached area on the box end is deeper than my other wrenches. I like that for some reason, but not sure if it will come in useful.
Then this little 6” stainless tray. I’ve got a few of these in various sizes from seller “TeamFar” on Amazon and I like them for organizers around the shop.
