I just bought the Makita 18V cordless impact wrench from Home Depot. I have already got the impact driver and the drill.

I bet that camera cost more than all those tools!

 

[Olafur]

Not only did I get my metric set of incision torques, I picked up the larger set 20-24MM as well. Also he had my impact driver thank goodness, I have been waiting for that to mow the lawn, ie fix mower.

This wrench clip looks like Facom/Usag/Beta "style"

Do you have COO for the wrenches, pics of them?

I used to think that buying tools is an expensive hobby, but that changed since I got into photography . A good Canon L lens can buy 20 F80 ratchets.

 

[biscuit141]

Dont know if I will put the little pink ratchet to work

How do you like those long screwdrivers? I saw them at HF the other day and thought they were nice tools especially for $9.

 

[concealer404]

good stuff there, concealer!
GMZ, another awesome drawing from Epstein's!!

That was about... half of it. Still sorting. Haven't sorted the "I'll keep that" pile yet.

I'm pretty happy for $30.


Oh, and i guess i'll be putting the new arrivals in this.

I actually have not put them to use as of yet, I bought it for the purpose for being a prybar and a punch.

There is nothing on the wrench itself, Taiwan has most of MACs stuff not in USA. I already used the sae set, best wrench I have ever used The handles are like no other wrench. The open ends have the knuckle saver feature for rounded bolts and nuts. They are comfortable.

My 30 dollar Matco 88 Score!

Seems similar except the knuckle saver, same factory perhaps? The MAC version seems longer too..
I have been eyeballing the 14 pcs metric Facom set for quite a while.. how much do these MAC cost?

Old guy had a bunch of used tools on a corner when I was headed home from work, I stopped for the heck of it and seen it, I just assumed it was out of my price range. We struck up a conversation about Armstrong ratchets and that I was going to order a 88t from them for around $35.00 and that it had the same concept of the 88t Matco. He said he would let that one go for $30.00 and not a penny less, lol. I said yes sir and paid the man. Only "Tool Truck" tool I own. I just hope it was not stolen, the guy said everything was form a estate sale auction lot he purchased.

Depending on the L lens you can get couple full tool chart Full of snappy tools.

MAC MAN called me today Usually it is the other way around. I have been super busy on a huge buying venture and staying up all night with another GJ cronie, that I plum forgot about a couple back order items and thought they would not be in till Friday. Must say this, Kieth, You f'ing rock

and then, he tricked me Said check out the flyer. Well I did and oh boy, picked up a 123pc bit set with drivers in all fields, ratcheting drivers, angle driver. Also bit on the light. Totally forgot that it had been paid for 2 months ago. He reminded me.


Makes sense, won't be using them much, but sure sell the **** outta them

my coworker just bought those new wrenches from MAC, after 1 week of regualar usage the chrome on his wrench started to peel off! i wasnt surprised...


also didnt that bit set come with a free mini pocket 3/8 ratchet?

To the peeling that sux. Take em back and get a new one. Mine are not peeling as of yet. I will keep my eyes peeled tho. No pun intended.

Not a 3/8 but yes a 1/4 and it is pictured with the needle nose pliers. Here is link to the flyer showing it.
http://www.mactools.com/flyers/USM_2012_05/index.html#/4/

The 3/8 mini is offered with the purchase of the 11pc socket set it too is in the flyer linked above.

 

[JerseyBoatBuilder]

Only items from my order that came in this week..

I liked the 24 led so much wanted the 48

 

[mscribellito]

These just came in. They are nearly identical to a set of Husky's I got at Christmas. Must be the same manufacturer for both.

 

[cbracer]

My latest hammers.... I added a full review under the "Hammer Time" thread

 

[lok]

Well I know that you prefer the polished socket with flank drive. These have neither the one nor the other.

Gedore 3/8 ratchet and sockets.

[kissmeimgerman]

Damn Gedores pliers always look amazing

 

[canuckian]

Nothing too exciting. Found a couple sets of the snap on wrench holders in red on eBay for my SAE wrenches.

 

[defy]

Not new, brought a orange marker pen and filled in all the stamp marks. Orange is my snap on color so decided this would add to that, plus it makes them easier to identify. I think they turned out awesome looking!

 

[W650Mike]

The orange looks great, defy!

 

[mscribellito]

I'm curious as to how the paint will hold up with regular use.

 

[rocklobster]

The paint marker that I tried did not hold up well at all.

 

[bobemmerich]

here"s mine...
20pc Stanley 3/8 drive SAE socket set U.S. made
14 pc 1/2" drive Metric socket set 7 KD, 7 Easco U.S. made
The case the 1/2" drives came in says DOWIDAT on it. Anyone know anything about it?

Cornwell Repos.

Pink Snap-on.

New cut off wheel.

Test Leads.

 

[Zephyr]

Cornwell rolled through the shop and although I'm primarily waiting for the Master Torx/Hex set to go on special I picked up a Fowler Poly-Cal which was on special for $20.95 but I he was cool enough to give it to me for 20 flat. I don't really need it at the moment but I'll keep it in my box just in case.

 

[Ken81590]

Finally got my orange handles! Got a free orange hard handle pocket screw-driver as well, and the covers for my impact guns and batteries!

 

[concealer404]

Got my Gearwrench haul from Sears... Bear in mind this was free shipping. And we wonder why Sears is in trouble.

Top envelope had one 1/4" ratchet.
Box under it had ONE 1/2" ratchet.
Box under it had two 3/8" ratchets.
Bottom box had the rest.


Happy with the haul, though! Now i can ditch my CM RP ratchets!!!!

You missed a great deal not long ago. Master set for $250, plus the 5 point torx set, and a jacket free.

 

[Pro-Painter]

Sears did the same **** to me. 4 ratchets in 3 boxes. a 1/4" in an envelope from apex, a bent handle flex head in one box alone, a 3/8 stubby flex, and 1/4 soft grip in the third box. All where the size box's as yours.

 

[defy]

I'm curious as to how the paint will hold up with regular use.

Me too, I don't actually use the wrenchs in the photo much because the ratchet open end is a bit **** and I have the gearwrench x-beam ones which I tend to use more often, I've done them as well so it will be interesting to see how it lasts.

 

[csmitty]

Well finally got one. Seemed like the best brake spreader design wise to me. Sure better than a C clamp.

 

[Dillithium]

If that works like I think it works, that could very well be the best design indeed.
What's the min/max spread of it?
I'd love to see a picture of it in action, I've googled it but can't seem to find it.

How much was it?if you don't mind me asking.

 

[2oolhound]

The case the 1/2" drives came in says DOWIDAT on it. Anyone know anything about it?

Dowidat tools were made in Germany and are considered good quality tools. The founders were involved with Gedore tools and as I understand it Dowidat became Everest which are marketed in the UK, India and Germany. All good names in tools.

 

[Zephyr]

Its not brand new but new to me. Boss was going to throw it out and so I jumped at the chance to take it home with me. A little rough around the edges and will need a little work and a good cleaning but a heck of a deal.
