Really like that ratchet and breaker bar

I've been wanting one for a long time. A friend of mine had one so I tried my best to describe what he had to him including that is could fetch as much as $30 to $40 bucks on ebay, his response was; "Well, you like to so much you can have it"!

 

[Chadwilliam1]

I don't know why i bought this but...

 

[jeffmoss26]

You bought it because it's a Ridgid...and you are a wise tool-buyer
Here are a few pairs of pliers I got from Rusty Musket for my Klein collection.

central tools underhood light with perch found at swap meet for 50.00 brand new in box

and the best part

 

[Mavawreck]

I havent bought any tools in awhile, but couldn't pass these up.

11 piece 3/8 Kobalt deep well sockets in standard and metric at 9.98 a set. A third of the normal price with a lifetime warranty. I'd rather have the nicer SK set I'd picked out but when we are talking Harbor Freight prices I couldn't pass it up.

 

[canuckian]

@warmpancakes.....thats a nice light at a great price! IIRC they sell for around $130-140+

 

[warmpancakes]

yep guy had a printout from ebay showing that, had it marked 75 I asked for "bottom dollar" he said 50 I couldnt get cash out fast enough

Dude! YOU ****! I've been wanting one of those for awhile but can't fully justify spending $200 for it( thats how much it is in my area ).

$50? Thats one heck of a deal you got!

That's a STEAL...I think i paid about 110 shipped from toolwarehouse with coupon...great light, love mine!

 

[lennoxlennox]

that is a great price on the underhood light - tough to beat that price, i'd say you scored!

i certainly didn't get an underhood light that cheap, but i did get an underhood bayco light from autobahn for $90 - what I like about the Bayco, is that it is rechargeable, so no cords under the hood, plus when you seperate the light from the holder, the ends swivel and have magnets on it, so it doubles as my hutch light until I need it under the car.

if you are interested autobarn ships free and you can get $10 off $100 (the light is 99.95 so you'll have to add a cheap item to put you over the 100)

New to me from a VW aircooled swap meet this weekend past:

The Hazet was a tenner and so was the Sykes body file and dolly. The Felo Torx was a fiver

[rider9195]

First large purchase. Have to fill in some odds and ends. But I have time for that.

 

[Samson]

Picked up these 3 Ton torin stands yesterday for $20! Wanted to have a complete set of 4. I love these style of stands, no complaints ...yet atleast lol.

 

[kiatech]

Pretty sure Franzdom dropped these off wearing a USPS uniform.... VERY FAST shipping!

what is the torque rating on each of them?

 

[kiatech]

From what I understand is they are just color coded sockets.

so they aren't torque sticks?

 

[shoturtle]

hf impact swivel. Had a 20% coupon, did not really need anything so I picked these up, might come in handy.

 

[rmsg0040]

^^ those work surprisingly well.

Got a herculiner kit and a respirator. Still waiting on some xylene before I paint.

You've got me figured out


Christodav,

Those Koken sockets are very cool! I miss Kyoto.

Just today I got 2 pieces in from Fordman7795. Mac knuckle saver 12mm (compared to SO 13mm and Hazet 14mm) and SnapOn 4" 1/4 drive extension, which I pressed into a translucent yellow "made in USA" handle.

 

[franzdom]

So the MAC knucklesaver is named for having a large bend on the box end? And the Hazet has zero degree, correct?

No. They are all angled about the same. Mac is in the opposite direction as SO and Hazet.

 

[christodav]

No they are standard impact sockets designed mainly for lug nuts on wheels. They have removable plastic covers to prevent scratching alloy wheels, color coded for easy identification, thin walled for deep set wheels and the print on the side easily shows if the fastener has stopped spinning. The length is just long enough to do the job without compromising strength. They also have pins included.

ooooo canuckiannnnnn............

 

[kiatech]

how many limbs did you give for that clear driver?

 

[RobertMo1988]

that is highly classified information.

 

[jeffmoss26]

Rob, I hate you! You got the holy grail of ratcheting screwdrivers!

 

[canuckian]

ooooo canuckiannnnnn............

you have my attention....

 

[jeffmoss26]

The money clip is cool too, but with all the tools you're buying, I don't see any green in there

 

[Mastermind]

i think the money clip is unfair...if you're a big enough SO fan to have one its empty....

 

[RobertMo1988]

haha its empty because i just bought the clear driver haha! jk i just took it out of the packaging when i took the pictures!
