[m_hatcher]

I have been slacking for the last 2 weeks in terms of posting my new tools so I did a group photo.

Compression tester is HF, Snap-on crimper/cutter, the rest is craftsman including complete flex sockets in 3/8" except a 13mm.
This also came in the mail today for the wife for mothers day

 

[zbadass28]

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.

That's ****.

Damn Gedores pliers always look amazing

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.

Its $63.00 direct from Snap-On. The OEM is Kastar 279 Caliper Spreader, you can save a few dollars getting that one. I just bought one last night myself for a brake job next weekend, maybe i'll make a thread if i remember to bring my camera.

Thanks for the info, I'll look for it.

Well damn, did not know that. Liked the fact it was US made as well.

Picked up a couple pairs of pliers and a catalogue off the truck today. He had an extra box of St patty's day glasses so he threw those in for free.

After all that Gedore goodness, this pales in comparison, but I've haven't had any dead blow hammers since my last cheapy one fell to pieces about 10 years ago. And I'll never wonder where I put these! Love the bright yellow. It's even brighter than these pics show.

Nice! Where'd you get them? Amazon?

some new items from Matco.
10mm Stubby Pro Swing. Still USA made



3pc Mini Plier set. USA made



4Pc Long Pick Set.





New mini pick set. These will be replacing my snap-offs..errr Snap-On set.





And a new pair of 8" cutters. Took a chunk out of my work horse pair of Cman Pro a couple weeks ago and tried Snap-On and found them horrible beyond words so purchased these. Interestingly they're sold as "Matco Brand" pliers. I'm aware they're much more expensive purchased this way as opposed to just buying Knipex from Sears or Amazon but given how much wear side cutters get this is money well spent to me to be able to get them swapped out.

 

[pacsguy]

like that mini plier set.. what is the part number? Hard to make out...

Just got this yesterday

 

[shoturtle]

My KD metric crow foot came in from CL. COO USA
Got some HF pittsburgh composite ratchets form a friend that did not like the feel of the composite ratchet, and got a the multi flex head also. I can see why he did not like them, the selector is funky at times.

 

[lennoxlennox]

Craigslist scoop - not exceptional... but not too bad of a deal either

Snapon 1/4 metric swivels - (13, 12, 11, 10, 8, 7) $50

Snapon Torx sockets (T60, T55, T50, T45, T40, T35, T30) - $40

Snapon ETorx Sockets (E16, E14, E12, E10, E8, E7, E6, E5) - $40

Can't wait to start tearing some stuff down with this bad boy. Check out the last review that someone wrote about zombies haha

 

[jvitez]

Nice! Where'd you get them? Amazon?

Yup, Amazon. Had them shipped to a parcel holding service in North Dakota and picked them up myself.

Take the center out of that multi flex and make it onto a stubby flex.

 

[shoturtle]

That is a pretty good idea if I need a stubby flex.

buy a http://www.harborfreight.com/3-8-eighth-inch-drive-ratcheting-breaker-bar-66388.html and swap the head onto it; fiendishly strong and ~18" long
learned that from a mechanic named john

 

[lennoxlennox]

well... saw a Snapon puller set on CL and decided to go buy it for $45

similar to this... http://www.ebay.com/itm/SNAP-ON-TOO..._Automotive_Tools&hash=item43af59b679&vxp=mtr




then he mentioned he had a Snapon press... it's a cj91d (universal joint bearing press) He thought it was worth maybe $100 but he said he had to look it up to check... said he wanted $50... i looked in my wallet... had $45... he took it!

^Where'd you get the Gearwrench ratcheting driver set? Sears or Cripe? What was the part number?

 

[CoSnipe]

Gearwrench 44013 at sears

 

[Altec]

If you haven't already used one, you'll love the PP. Just don't go sticking power on everything in sight. Despite what they say, you can still fry a ECM with one. Haha.

 

[CoSnipe]

Thanks, I think I can handle it

 

[Jawn]

Got some Wright SAE 1/2" drive deep impacts from a GJ member. Lo and behold, two of 'em aren't opened up enough in the middle to sit down on the Hansen tray.

Already have the shallows in both SAE and metric... now I need to find some metric deeps.

 

[warmpancakes]

I use the heck out of that gear wrench driver had mine well over a year and just discovered the cap comes off the handle for storage

 

[concealer404]

Gearwrench 44013 at sears

Well poop i just ordered the 39 piece, didn't see that one, wish i had ordered that one instead. Would have been nice to have the sockets and T-handle with it.

 

[cbracer]

Picked up these two last night. Owner seemed to take care of them and had the original manuals. The bench grinder is a 257 model, but to my surprise the housing was made of plastic. Used it today and it runs good, but I'd probably prefer a full metal one. The 1/3 hp seems to be strong enough, makes me think 1/4 might not be enough in some situations. The clear guards don't really stay where you want them, either up or down. The drill press is from 1986 and looks well made. It's only an 8" model with 1/6 hp. The chrome on the handles cleaned up nicely. It had a ton of rust on them. Used the wire brush of the bench grinder on the handles, then a dremel tool wire brush on the head. A little metal polish and they cleaned up nicely!

 

[LuckyLabor0331]

I've got this GearWrench ratcheting set too. Great set to keep in the truck. Used it many times and I've been happy about the purchase every time.

 

[lennoxlennox]

pics.... re:above

 

[eeprete]

went to the Englishtown Swap Meet today at Raceway Park, and towards the middle of the afternoon, I stumbled on this. Guy was asking $50, but I offered $40 and he took it.

Little bit of surface rust on the top edges of some of the sockets that should clean up fine. Almost all the sockets are V era and the entire set was never used.

Also picked up an older Challenger 1/2 drive ratchet for $5 with a 13/16 Craftsman V spark plug socket.

 

[str8axle55]

I would`ve bought that for $40.
