Just got an IR 2135qtimax, and a 118maxk in the mail today. Waiting on a 2015 3/8 Hammerhead and a 2115qtimax.

Also got the Craftsman 28 piece specialty wrench set (USA). I only bought these for the deep offsets, but I guess i will keep the rest (SAE/Metric Flare nut, Tappet, Half-moon). Thanks to Pipster, I wouldn't have even looked for this set.

Not pictured, as they are at work, are Punches/Chisels. I was going to see if there were any USA Craftsman left, but all the Sears around me had only China sets available.

?SHLF80A? Don't remember the actual part number. It's the Quick-Release version of this ratchet. For 99$, I couldn't pass it up.

In the second picture, can anyone tell me what the hell this is? The little booklet says it's a swivel adapter. But it doesn't screw out or anything. So how do I put a Milton fitting in it? I'm stumped:sad:

Good Choice of air hammer cheaper than snap on by a far amount and very powerful tool. Mines has paid itself several times off. Shearing bolts, loosening rusted suspension parts, releasing ball joints; beats the hell out of swinging a hammer all day long.

Grainger :)

Type in 10G651. I think they're out though. Unless they only pull regional. I ordered two and got one. Placed another order today to try and they called and said they were out. The alternate is the same pliers though which is weird. Same mfg # and UNSPSC #

Thanks!

I stopped and grabbed myself a screwdriver today just because I saw him sitting and I wanted a better 4" #2.

Very nice. Any COO on the tool? It looks like a German made Witte pro top plus.

Used and abused for years.

It is made in Germany, I do believe it is the Witte Pro top. I'm going to but a set of the Pro top's next pay check to keep in my office.

Hit the swap meet after going to the local mall so the wife could return somethings to JC Penny. I ran over to Sears to see what they had worth buying..

Noticed they had the 3/8th's 6pt metric sockets on sale for 21.99 and bought the last set of U.S. made they had. Sad to see the other sets, same metric set, had a less finished look to them and stamped china.

Made a comment about that to the sales dude and he mentioned that he'd been hearing a lot of that lately.

Anyways, hit the swap meet and found the Cornwell die grinder sett for 30.00 and then another set of regular chrome 6pt metric craftsman sockets for 6 dollars.

You about gave me a panic attack! I thought you were buying regular chrome sockets and I saw "stamped china" and I thought WHAT!? :shocking:

But then I saw you were talking about impact sockets. :eek:

Good find on the USA made.

Ill save the freak out for when the hardline goes abroad. :mad:

they stopped being made in USA a year ago....I bet COO is brazil or mexico

There's still mixed sets floating around out there. When amazon had their ridiculously stupid pricing on them, [search for the thread and you'll see what I'm talking about] I got some sets that were full U.S.A. and some that were mixed U.S.A./Brazil/Mexico. All of them exhibiting great craftsmanship though.
