more truck tools?
Got a MAC dealer making rounds at your new shop?
Yeah, and SnapOn... Mac is coming back tomorrow with more stuff.
I am also pulling the trigger on all 3 SnapOn TechAngle torque wrenches, $1000 for the set. Both Mac and SnapOn dealers left me their versions for a week to play with and compare. Snappy's are way better, but more $$$. Mac's 1/2 version is on sale for $400, but the KD/Gearwrench versions are the same, and only $240.00 online.
The inetemediate length sockets are Stanley, got them from Wal-Mart
, but at $30 for the pair, I couldn't resist. I had them before, and they worked fine.The 1/2 drive "Twist" socket set and breaker bar were a combo at $135.00; the larger sizes finish out my Irwin sets.

Well I tried to avoid any new tools until I cleaned up my mess....BUT
Old Craftsman planer..believe it is called the alien head.
It was free and he delivered it!
10 minutes to remove the wasps nests and everything spins free so I may be alright.
Then my brother walks over and uncovers this!
I had forgotten I had it. Kinda spent the last 25 years moving all over the place for work but I finally get to settle for a while and take care of business.

Got some Powerbuilt tools (1/4" and 3/8" stubby ratchets and metric and SAE ractehting wrenches) today, i am very impressed about the built quality and ratcheting function of those guys, even the chrome looks superb, we'll see how they hold up. (should have cleaned them before taking pictures...sorry...)

Those stubbies are pretty small. they are handy for tight places. And with the 72t not much room is needed for them to grab the next teeth.

i love those stubby guys, and like i said, i very impressed about the quality (for now). The ratcheting action feels so much smoother than my nice craftsman (made in the USA) and the Gearwrench ratchets, the sockets fit nice and tight (almost no wobbeling) and the quick release acts perfectly..... i really do like them. If they hold up well, i probably switch my entire ratchets over to them, price / value relation is great. Don't know about the sockets yet, have to order some.

I have some of the powerbuilt spline sockets and hex bit socket, and they are pretty nice. Those stubby have held up well so far working on my motorcycles. Only thing I do not like is that you can not open them up. As the switch lever is riveted vs screwed down. But I just removed the back screws to put in couple drops of lube. And they are even smoother. But overall, I am quite happy with the power built items I have brought at pep boys when they were doing their close out. The titan items are the same quality.

That definitely looks sweet, what's the toothcount on those?
They always feel so smooth when I try them.

I have the Titan branded version of that stubby ratchet. I love that damn thing. Excellent cheap ratchet. Put a drop of red assembly lube in them and you'll be loving life.
I also have some non ratcheting Powerbuilt stubby wrenches. I've been impressed with them too. Got the set on clearance from Pepboys and haven't regretted it.

Im lucky enough to have a K-mart store closing near me. Decided to check it out. Got these T-handle nut drivers at 50% off of $40.
Not bad for $20. Tools made in USA, Packaging made in China.

Purchased my first tooltruck item from a member here. Amazing the difference in quality from my craftsman.

THLF72
You're going to love the THLF72, It's by far one of my favorite ratchets. I find myself using 1/4" more than ever! lol It was always 3/8 drive for everything, until I got the THLF

Was browsing at a local industrial supply place Today and these caught my eye. They look like they could come in handy so I grabbed them. Seem great for handling softer materials and shiny stuff you don't want scratched between the jaws of your vise.
Got my Gearwrench pliers from sears that were like $36 shipped or lower, don't remember.
Initial impressions are that they are pretty good quality. They do say china right on the side. First thing i did was look them over for defects, then proceeded to take everyone and squeeze as hard as possible to see if the tips would do anything. So far so good, I'm most concerned about the grips, I have a couple other Gearwrench pliers with the thicker grips that got loose after time. I think for the job they are designed for they will do just fine. they also came covered in oil which is the rings around the rivets.

You think this is a game? This is serious business.
Few new items.
Dead blow set (56 ounce on the way as well)
BluePoint Light
Pocket Screwdriver Magnetic Back
12" Striking prybar with a straight tip [nice if you treat your screwdrivers like chisels/pry tools-which i do]
Seal removal tools
FH80
Screwdriver set and bit set i ordered in peices. Didnt want their pre-made set of bits that was made up of half standard hex. Useless (to me).
