Stanley expert 70-350nm torque wrench.
I needed a bigger torque wrench than my Wurth to do a brake job on a car trailer.( Some others jobs I used to eyeball the torque. Never have a problem, but it's better this way.)
I looked some catalogs and find a Kraftwerk reasonably priced for my use. The guy behind the counter told me to spend a few more € to get a Stanley Expert. Kraftwerk was 86€ without taxes and the expert 107€. I said ok, it was off the shelf and go out of the store with. The guy keep saying that Stanley expert is a division of Facom, even the warranty.
It looks nice, it's all metal even the handle.

I really like the way the torque setting is displayed. The handle gives the torque by 1nm increment. Pretty neat.

Just got these in the mail today. The IR die grinder was thanks to a Hot Deals thread and the Williams ratchets (B-51A and a B-54) I got off ebay. This was the first flex head ratchet I had seen in that style of ratchet.

 

[HellaFab]

Just picked up a nice belt sander that I found online.

Craftsman with a 4 amp motor. It doesn't sound like much power considering the ratings of most handheld grinders are more but it seems to have lots of go and leaning on a peice of stainless on it doesn't slow it down.

I don't think I did bad for $35.

First time posting in this thread, Ive been seriously lacking basic hand tools for a long time! I use mismatched screwdrivers and pliers from harbor freight, sears or lowes, just whatever ive aquired one way or another over the years. I broke down and ordered some quality hand tools, this is just the start but it feels so nice to finally have some nice sets!
Also, I bought a kobalt 30 gal air compressor from lowes a few months ago and what a piece of **** that thing was, it leaked, the starter capacitors were **** and would barley get the motor going, just junk so I talk to the manager and he agreed to let me return the 30 gal and upgrade to the 60 gal if I payed the difference. DEAL, get this POS out of my shop!

Heres my snap on delivery and my lowes haul;

@BigChevy17 Nice tool pickups.

I have that same Air Compressor, can't remember how much I paid out the door. I did however get Lowes to accept a Harborfreight 20% off coupon on it, so it made it worth while until I can get a chance to purchase a Quincy or something along those lines.

is 60gal Kobalt any better? it's a reasonable priced unit.

where/how'd you get it for 45?

So far it's night and day, I can't comment on it too much as its only ran a couple times last night but it looks much more promising. With the wiring, plug and plumbing (I bought the kobalt filter) I'm in it for less than $600.
When it kicks on its solid and fast unlike the 30gal which would lug and sometimes even fail to start.

 

[Hafen_Kafer]

It used. A friend needed money. It was me or somebody else so I got that. He sold a bunch of other stuff but he saved that for me.

You've got good taste.

Haven't gotten a chance to give it a good workout yet, but it busted off some grubby lugnuts from the Lexus that's been occupying the parking lot for about 18 months without complaining.

FINALLY bought a set of stubby wrenches, after cursing how long my Snap-On and Williams Supercombos are when in extremely cramped circumstances wedged under trucks and trailers.


Williams Taiwan 7pc SAE & 11pc Metric (8mm not pictured) on Ernst Stubby Rails. Excellent quality, and used the hell out of them right out of the gate first day. Don't know how I lived without them for so long.

Great, another one of those tools that I have always done fine without for many years, but will probably buy anyway!

I'd say they're worth it if you replace lots of cylinder packings... I bought the set a few months ago, and everybody always borrows them from me, and on top of me using them fairly often... and they're holding up well. But yeah, they don't do anything a regular pick doesn't do...

Hey guys, I'm new on here this is actually my first post I just picked up these seal removal tools, sorry about the picture being upside down. Anyone that works on bikes should own these.

Great looking box , love the color !!!

 

[Nortonscustom]

For work. SK long reach set and 1/4" drive thumb ratchet. Ullman double ended screw holder.

For at home. MityVac and a KD tools master sending unit kit.

 

[cyato]

my second snap on purchase.

Great choice! Their intended use is for "seal removal" but I use them a lot for automotive interior disassembly. They help remove small trim panels with less damage than miniature flathead screwdrivers or picks.

Why not use non marring plastic prying tools, I have a snap on set.have been worth it so far, I don't know what I'll do if I scratch a $350 center console trim piece again!

 

[Garage5.9]

Normal price 600$ got it on promo today for 300$ couldn't pass this offer up

 

[NUTTSGT]

Picked up another set of Pony clamps and used another stick of left over airline. This set here filled up the clamp rack I made a while back. I also picked up an 1 1/16" Cman wrench (USA) to stick in the saw cabinet. I was having to walk to the other side to grab one out of the tool box.

nice, guy at work always carries a few makita cordless with him to breakdowns, and it always seems easier to use his portable grinder than to try to hook up my air tools.

I do HVAC in mansions and commercial buildings and its a pain to have to keep dragging a cord everywhere. I can make a few cuts then move to the next spot. I'm saving for the makita 18v portaband next.

Got a good deal today. Went in to buy 200 more slicer discs and the welding supply store had a special, buy 400 slicers, get a 4.0ah Metabo Grinder with 3 batteries, charger, bag and sample of their combinator wheels (cutting and light grinding free. Yes free. So you can guess what I did haha. Can't wait to try this thing out. I see they have a 5.2ah one now so maybe they are trying to clean out old stock? It appeared to be a Metabo special as it was all boxed up professionally by Metabo and labeled as the special.

They are intended to be used when you want to reuse the seal, the lack of sharp edges leads to less damage when removing.

I've invested in almost every type of "panel popper" that has come out over the last 20 years. I bought some plastic panel tools in Japan before they became common here. They are great for many uses, but there are tiny piece of trim, like the cover over the screws on many interior door levers, that a plastic tool is not thin enough to get under. Those Snap On seal removers have a thin, flat profile that doesn't dent plastic panels like a mini screwdriver would. I hate damaging or marking any panels, and we often deal with pre-production vehicles where a replacement panel is not available, so I have an array of different panel removal tools to do the job without damage.

Went back to the Euro indy world from BMW (typical dealer, hiring more techs than needed). Had to get the trusty Classic 78 out of storage and got the SO guy to give me a stool. I guess he feels bad for me since I'm probably one of his biggest tech customers yet I never win any drawings off the truck!
