I now have 3. The 20* one is looking like itll be my favorite since it is flush cutting.

I have several terminal crimpers, to include a ratcheting set.. But have been wanting a good ratcheting set that had jaws for my most common uses...
Picked up a Blue Point PWC48 at a very nice price today....


Just so happens I have some open barrel Weatherpak connectors to install tonight... so perfect timing.

NIce.... Is this your first compressor...?

I can't tell you much having a few air tools made to me and my little DIY workshop.
The impact wrench itself was a revelation, being able to zip off large rusted and stuck
fasteners that would have taken me an age to do with hand tools.

I can feel your emotions... Like a proud Dad bringing home a new Baby for the first time... :lol:


If you're a home DIY chap, like me, and you work on your own car(s)...
It will be a revelation, and you'll wonder how you did anything before you had it.

Enjoy. :thumbup:

Not really tools per se, but they were great finds on craigslist.

Craftsman 3.5HP B&S Edger ($40 bucks)

Husky 3k PSI Pressure Washer ($175) Only used 10 hours, pretty much new.

Also scored some of the Lowes stuff mentioned in the "Hot Deals" threads.

I had some female former neighbors that used one of those.

They spent more time tearing up thier concrete sidewalks and driveway with it than edging. Sparks flew more than grass or weeds when they used it.

It's a finesse tool. :thumbup:

I use electric now or hand aka the weasel.

Still need finesse . :)

I hate those that use weed whackers to edge.
Bad form to me.

:p

I've had those for a while now and love them. They are very good for the money compared the more expensive versions.

Added a set of locking extensions to the toolbox. COO for those interested is Taiwan. On sale in this week's Canadian Tire flyer.

Looks nice. :beer: How do you like those compared to the older black handle, hex shaft cman pro screwdrivers?

Never had a chance to use the older ones. GJ made me finally decide to upgrade my homeowner/DIY set from the basic clear-handled Huskys I got when we bought our first house. I was really tempted to get Snap-Ons, but couldn't justify the price difference for non-pro use.

*sigh* I need to quit spending money. Left another $52 at Lowes today

5pc Insulated set and 7'' Cobras. Hard to pass up since I doubt I will find them for these prices in a long time. :beer:

Slow day at the flea markets. I did pick up a 1/2" RHFT for $12, although it may go on Ebay...

Milwaukee from Zoro july 5th sale, SK semi-deep from Network Tool Warehouse, Fluke probes from Amazon, Snap On sockets and ratchet from flee bay and Green ratcheting screwdriver from a member on here.

SSDMR4G is the part number. Not on the website but pretty sure a driver can order one for you.

Had a gift card to HD that I'd been sitting on like a mother hen.

Picked up 4 36" Jorgeson HD bar clamps. They're pretty nice and reasonably priced.

Never can have too many clamps.

Just grabbed this KRA 488 cart of the local CL yesterday....cleaned it up a bit and cut some liners from rubber laying around the shop. It's well worn, but the price was fair and it will be perfect for my purposes. :thumbup:
