Fine tools are like a fine wine... You have to sniff them to appreciate the bouquet before moving on to tool tasting.

[jeffmoss26]

I dunno, when I opened the package for the first time, the plastic smelled funky!

Sounds good to me for such an unusual color.

Here are my latest:

Actron timing light. $11 from craigslist. I broke the inductive pickup on mine a little while ago so I needed another. Made in China.

Milwaukee portaband. $262 shipped from Acme Tools. "Professionally made in China by Milwaukee Tool PRC".

15" Weiler knotted wire wheel. $70 shipped from eBay. Made in the good ol' USA.

That wire wheel mounted on a 220V/12Amp Cincinnati bench grinder. That grinder was made in the USA.........72 years ago.

Damnit, 26 hours to move and my neighbours cleaning out his garage...

I couldn't let him throw this old girl away...

I'll have to see if it still works...

 

[canuckian]

Got these in the mail today. Orange stuff is from eBay and the dark green screwdriver is from GJ member Dz_speed.

 

[jeffmoss26]

How much did the orange TMR4 run you?

 

[canuckian]

How much did the orange TMR4 run you?

around $50 if I remember correctly

 

[jeffmoss26]

I don't need it that badly lol

 

[canuckian]

I don't need it that badly lol

LOL check out the list price...you'll need it even less! the Canadian list is even higher! Not sure why but the masterminds at Snap On seem to think that a 1/4 square drive shaft is worth signifigantly more than a magnetic 1/4 hex shaft.

yep some go high some go low....cant figure out the logic myself lol. orange isnt as saught after I guess (lucky me!). Thats not the one I ended up with, incidentally. Mine was "sort of" a BIN as part of a package deal.

Gedore XL wrench set, 8-19mm. My first German hard line tools!

Cool made in USA manual battery charger with boost feature. Last time my battery went dead my battery booster was also discharged and I was almost late for work. So, time for a plug in battery charger/starter.

What are "hard line" tools? I've always wondered that.

I love the German wrenches. I just got my first Wiha screwdrivers, but wrenches will be an expensive near future. That charger looks brand new/vintage. Is it brand new, with nostalgic style, or is it old in perfect condition? Crazy.

hard line tools is just a phrase coined to describe the meat and potatos of any tool line. Primarily basic hand tools e.g. wrenches and sockets.

Wrenches and Sockets. What about Ratchets and Screwdrivers? I use ratchets and screwdrivers slightly more than wrenches and sockets. Well, I guess sockets about as often as ratchets.

Yup, brand new. I'm actually looking forward to a dead battery to try it out. They make quite a few versions including roll arounds.

I've got Wiha and PB Swiss screwdrivers: fabulous stuff. Next will be German pliers....damn this addiction. Cheaper than cocaine and prostitutes though. Lasts longer too.

Finished out the week with a bit of a bang....got a big ol box from Robertmo1988. He landed a great deal on some new snappy stuff so I picked up some fdp and double box wrenches, tk72 ratchet, swivel adapter and micro screwdrivers and I also convinced him to part with one of his many blue screwdriver sets (lol). He threw in the orange bit driver and the ratchet handle as a nice bonus! Thanks Again Robert!!
On with the pics....
