Picked up several INDESTRO wrenches over the weekend. Three pieces, with an open end at one size, and the closed box end a different one. Unusual combination. They feel old- 20's/30's old.

Haven't found much information on them.

I have three of the little things. The offset box wrenches are from two other companies, also old, but not of the same vintage.

Nice stuff, jvitez!

 

[jvitez]

Thanks jeffmoss. I also ordered the long shank orange ratcheting screwdriver, SSDMR8AO. Why? Cause I want it!! . I never thought much about ratcheting screwdrivers until all the positive feedback on GJ. I took the plunge with a Toptul one, and now I'm hooked. It also seems I've developed a general screwdriver fetish......

Dont have a picture but just received my Gearwrench 3/8 flex ratchet (15.71" in length). Just by the looks, im already loving it. Its long and has a nice soft grip. Flex head is also nice, only thing is that the teardrop head is quite big.

I picked up these snap on tool boxes off craigslist over the weekend. They were full of random tools, but there were a few nice pieces. I decided to cut some outdoor carpet to line the drawers with. I'm happy with the $200 I spent.

New Gerber knife got it off eBay. I couldn't find a folding utility knife made in the USA. this one was made in China and it is really stout. I would have gladly paid twice as much to see USA on it.

Re: more Snap On

Damn, this online-ordering/delivered-to-your-door thing is just too convenient.......

I got two pairs of jackstands. I was wondering how they were going to ship it.

That hand saw is just way too cool!

I have 2 sets of those jackstands and love them.

The blue finish does not like brake clean though

Courtesy of Grainger. Snap On IPFM15C, 3/8dr 15mm impact swivel. Wasn't sure what the part number or description was (had something odd) but for $9.53 figured i'd take a chance.

They match my SAE sets. My wife thinks I'm crazy and "Don't need all these tools, you'll never use them" I just tell her I will....

hey... just curious, is that sheet metal hollow or solid metal or is it sheet metal wrapped around a piece of particle board or wood?

It is wrapped around some heavy wood. It weights like 200 pounds.

 

[Skin]

It is wrapped around some heavy wood. It weights like 200 pounds.

i assumed it was wrapped around something but didnt want to state it with a certainty. If it were a solid chunk of stainless it would weigh a heck of a lot more than 200lb.

 

[Chadwilliam1]

and it would cost a whole lot more!

 

[Flash69]

My new KRL1022 will be here soon. I have been debating on ordering the SS top. Now I know it's a MUST! DARN IT... more money

It's a type of MDF on the inside of stainless tops.

LOL!!!!! Yeahhhhhh, I know exactly how you feel. I've needed this one for YEARS. Before getting my paws on it, I lost out on two other killer CL deals on big cabinets but I'm very happy with this purchase. This one is their $3900 Model 1536 with the $1600 dust collector ... delivered by the retired veteran dad of a total stranger to my shop for $1300. Now ya see why I ought to be twins right now.

Hang in there Creeping-Death ... your score's coming and it'll be worth waiting for. I still have automatic email searches set up so I'll PM you if I see something worth looking into. What exactly are you looking for?

Green cotter pin puller, door panel popper, gloves, glove holder, cooling system pressure tester, BMW adapter, and FLEXZILLA!!! My air hose was leaking so it was the perfect excuse to upgrade! This stuff is incredible, it feels unlike any air hose ive ever seen before. Almost feels like soft styrofoam. Its supposed to be flexible down to -40 degrees and will not kink and has no memory so it lays flat. Cant wait to use it!

My neighbor is in the process of moving. He's a nice guy and all but he always needs things done for him. Im his enabler, so over he comes and says I have something for you and gives me this tool box. All the sockets ratchets extensions speed handle and breaker bar are KD. The wrenches are EASCO. Other than the red and green pliers everything is unused. He claimed he had them for some time but never used them.

Not really a tool arrival but I went to the stockroom at work for a screw driver for a very small laptop sized screw and they gave me this:
