Had a parts run around lunch, so I spent mine at Northern Tools:

 

[Boost Creep]

stopped into hd today for some deals.

6" crescent $6
8" crescent $7
10" crecent $8
7 3/4" channellock cutters $10
storage bins were on sale too. might go back for more of other sizes. these were the last two of these but i got one for $5 and the other was missing 1 of the 4 strips for wall mounting them so they discounted it down to $4. i was happy with that

 

[ECP]

what website did you use to buy the ernst organizers and how was shipping since were from canada

Which side of the country are you on? If you're in BC, you can get them through KMS Tools. That's where I got mine. They shipped Purolator and I had them 1 or 2 days after I ordered.

 

[jeffmoss26]

Those look like NOS USA made Crescent wrenches!

Been looking at kms tools and I think the next time I order anything like this, I'm going with them. I figure the shipping might be cheaper and I won't have to worry about customs. They also carry a few other items I'd like to have.

So, all In all you'd rate KMS well?

 

[jeffmoss26]

Very nice boost. My drawer is all USA crescent from various years. The older ones were the best!

I know, I know... I must've missed the memo, I didn't even know Craftsman made clothes.

Picked up this jacket in black for $50. For the price, I'm happy, I'd recommend em to anyone.

I would. I go to their main store whenever I'm in the area. Their prices may be a little high on some things... but when they have a sale, it's usually pretty good. I like the amount of body shop supplies/tools they carry in stock... very little stores do this. I get pretty well all my welding supplies from there (including ar/c02 bottles). That was the first time I bought from them online, and I know it won't be the last.

Klein 20-30 gauge stripper.

Fowler digital caliper.

Torin T43004 3 Ton Aluminum Jack Stands

 

[dwm]

BMW valve shim installer with magnet (to avoid dropping a shim into one of the galleys leading to the crankcase):

BMW S54 crankshaft turner so I can turn the engine over when doing valvetrain work. I don't need this on my S54 (it's newer and hence has a hex on the end for a normal socket), but will need it on other cars. This is just a Stahlwille socket welded to a machined piece to fit over the 4 bolts on the harmonic balancer.

BMW valve shim kit. Pricey but no alternatives.

Three sets of feeler gauges from Eastern Industries. Still waiting for a response to my request for a quote on a custom set for the valve clearance check/repair job on my BMW.

Eastern Industries FG-26-4-45:

Where'd you get that lime green tape!

Man, you've got issues but you may be able to answer me this..Did snap on produce a 9 piece Torx screwdriver set in the bright green? I want a set to contrast my red instinct screwdrivers, looking on the website they don't exist. Did wonder if they're just discontinued and I'd find some come up on ebay, I don't mind waiting but obviously if they never produced them I'll just get red.

 

[JMcFly]

Torin T43004 3 Ton Aluminum Jack Stands

I like those. I just found them on amazon. Free shipping with prime. Might be a good excuse to get them to replace two of my crappy stands

 

[plung]

Inside of that base. I haven't used them yet so don't know how they hold up. Seems decent to me.

 

[Solid Lifters]

Had a parts run around lunch, so I spent mine at Northern Tools:

How good are these? They don't rust if you touch them, like those cheap Chinese made bits? I like Wiha bits so how do these compare?

 

[plung]

Got a Gorilla TW605 Torque Wrench. Doesn't say anywhere where its made. Honda OEM 65mm Filter Wrench. Fumoto oil drain valve. Milwaukee shock wave bits. $5 Stanley parts bin on sale and pegboard or wall tool holder $7, both at Home Depot.

I have the Fumoto drain valve on my Honda S2000 and it's a time saver. Glad that I can skip jacking up the car and setting up jack stand. I love it and I'm pretty sure you will to.

Local Sears had the DeWalt 12V worklight on clearance for $9.97.

Also picked up a T10 for $1.97 and a 5/16" x 12" slotted screwdriver for $4.97

They also had some larger black bins, 4 for $6 at mine. I just got one of those.

Yellow bins $7 online but $5 in store sale:

They're next to the tool bags if anyone else is looking.

M3, Z3M, or Z4M? Pics?

Picked this up today....15% off at Sears....should work well for light duty work that I need it for....

 

[wrenchr]

I bought these new in the wrapper 1/2 SAE snap on sockets from the pawn shop about 2weeks back with some other tools that I sold off and after selling those tools I have $125.00 in this set now.

That's a rather interesting looking speeder you have there in the background

 

[myboostedgst]

I stopped at Sears to take a look at the new Craftsman Premium ratchets. After looking at them I actually preffered the thin profile ratchets, but still not much more than my normal Craftsman ratchets.

I then walked by the new black universal raised quick release ratchet. I really like the feel of it. I am sure not as smooth as a SO or the Matco 88, but I really like the little bit of roughness to it and the handle/weight.

I also walked by this 6" polisher. Picked it up just to see how it felt in my hands. From the few that I have handled, this felt the best. Its not talked about, but we will see how it does for me. It was on sale for $85 and since I had two $10 "gift cards" (The ones where if you buy so much they give you a card to come back and use between certain dates) I figured I would try it.

Oh, and I guess I should post this too. Picked up the top box about a week or two ago.

You're going to really like the worklight. I have the 12v max drill, impact, and light combo. Great set.

 

[csmitty]

The fumoto drain valves are nice. I have one on my Cummins 5.9 and its nice for taking oil samples to send in. and when draining 3gal of oil out.

 

[canuckian]

I know they're probably made in China but I couldn't resist them for $25! 6-24 (14 pc) Mastercraft Maximum combo wrenches. I'll use them as a second set for now but eventually they'll go in my sons box. I've had decent luck with their wrenches before so I figured for the price I'd roll the dice on them.

 

[98TJ]

Yeah, I have that combo as well, but at the house. Since we have four 12V drill/drivers and two 12V impacts at the shop, I figured I'd pick up a 2nd light to use at the shop.

M3, Z3M, or Z4M? Pics?

2002 Z3M. Completely off-topic, so only one (partial) pic here. I took this picture years ago in a hurry on route 129 when I stopped to put the top up (rain on the horizon). It wound up being one of my long-time favorites, just luck. I've kept the car in excellent condition, it doesn't look much different now but for wider shoes, slightly lower stance and aftermarket brakes. This year I might get myself back out on the road course, time permitting.

I just got them, and I don't use them a whole lot - in fact, not at all yet. But once I go and steal the wife's (or get my own) power screwdriver, I'll be using them with some regularity. For now, I'm actually using the Wiha bits on the 1/4" sockets, set 77198. I like these a lot, but I had to color code the sizes. The Titans are nowhere near the cost of the Wihas, so I don't expect them to hold up as well, but I won't be using them as hard, either.

Nice to see you got the torque wrench! Just curious whats the head on it look like. Other than that its my SO with just some blue instead of red

 

[canuckian]

Came home for lunch and waiting for me was a package from across the pond. I had contacted member Moose-landtran a little while ago about the possibility of locating an Aston Martin snappy ratcheting screwdriver as I had been having some difficulty finding one for a decent price due to them being a UK only release. Also mentioned a couple others I was looking for as well, because apparently I collect these god forsaken things now. Well, his reply shocked me to say the least when he said he had that one, a mclaren sport one and a retro one. Needless to say I jumped at the opportunity and not only did he give me a great price, he threw the Aston Martin one in gratis! Then he added a yellow t8 in when he packed it up! Can't say enough good things about the whole experience! Moose, you're one great mammal, that's for sure! Thanks a million!!

Also picked these up from EBay. 6-32 mm double open ended wrenches. They're old script but from what I can see, very few of them have ever been used!

 

[87D100]

I love when my boss "organizes" his tools

Freebies, rescued from the dumpster, They all work, the air ratchet might need a rebuild though it seems pretty gutless.
