The spring I think you're referencing is for the socket rail. They work similar. I really don't think they have much difference.

Grobet-Swiss definitely isn't cheap, but it's really good stuff.
I have a couple of sets of their needle files, and they're excellent IMHO.
Oh wow i feel like an idiot. I just checked the flyer again and ya its just the rail design haha. Didnt realize that at first.
Anyways good buy.

Not mine, the shop's, but I order them for a job.
HSS burrs and this super expensive file $36!!!!1
Glad I'm not paying for it.
Swiss made. Could explain the price.
Would that be what is called a "cape file/chisel"?
Wow he *****! I just bought mine in march and it has no USA stamp. Bummer

I don't know but this is a part of McMaster-Carr's description of these files:
Also known as riffler files, these tools are made in a variety of shapes for reaching into the smallest nooks and crannies.
Armstrong stubby SAE wrenches in black oxide finish and reversible ratcheting wrenches both arrived yesterday!
Stubby size comparison:
Ratcheting wrench size comparison:
I really like the longer length of the Armstrong compared to the GearWrench. It also feels better in my hand. I got the ratcheting wrenches from Cripe off eBay, I thought maybe they would ne NOS 36 tooth count ratchets but they are 72 tooth count.
I may have to keep an eye out for a metric set to replace my GearWrench set.
The stubbys are a bit long but I don't that that should pose too much of an issue. I rarely ever use SAE, but both of these were too good of a deal on eBay to pass up.

I think that is an older non-Dual 80 model.
EDIT: That is of course, if you were wondering if that's a new model.

Taps and Drills by Jon Kensy, on Flickr
Taper, Plug, and Bottoming M10x1.5 tap set and a Q and R 135* bit since mine went missing and I need them so often.
Will check it out tomorrow am
My driver had two as well. He also got in a blue 24 oz deadblow hammer and a set of the long cabinet style blue screwdriver sets.
He also had a electric screw gun set in blue with lithium ion batteries but for 260 I couldn't justify it for made in china.

Nice Vaughan hammer drawer. I saw those wood handled brick hammers in the clearance section as well but I already have 2 Estwing steel brick hammers and couldn't justify buying a third. Then again, when I checked the price was $16 and not $8.95 At that price I would have to get it, just cause...
Oh and I would recommend, if you do some framing that you add the Vaughan 23oz Bluemax with curved handle to your collection. This is the best wood handled framing hammer on the market in my opinion.

Depending on if you like the smooth or milled face. I'd use the milled face if you mainly use common nails for extra gripping. If you use primarily galvanized or stainless nails, the smooth face would be better so you don't damage the surface coating on the nail heads nearly as much.

SPI 24inch Dial Caliper. China but it comes with an certs. It might be B.S. but the caliper has a serial number that matches the cert of the NIST Calibration. After ENCO discount and work discount I got a good deal.

I have a very large assortment of felo ergonics. They are great. I highly recommend them.
Just bought this for 334 with free shipping.

Thanks for the recommendations!

Finished of my wrench sets. 8-27mm and 1/4"-2". Also snagged a pair of hose clamp pliers for a discounted price.
