Remember to keep a 46mm box end wrench on hand so that you can initially break the fastener.

cripe have them for $40, they also have a 50mm for $40 and a 41mm for $27

I'd rather have mediocre packaging of a superior product over awesome packaging of china garbage

Well, to be fair it is a Jack.... Not a Cupcake.

Snappy man got me last week, sometimes I hate that truck…

It's their new 3/8 techangle wrench

How does this wrench differ from their old style? I tried looking on the site but all I found was the old style

Becoming a new home owner gave me a good excuse to buy yard tools.

Echo PAS-225
Echo trimmer attachment
Echo edger attachment
Stihl MS 180 chainsaw. The home has a bunch of invasive trees growing (Brazilian pepper) and a large umbrella tree growing against the foundation.

I felt that way when my m1a came in & I got it home, I had visions of it arriving in a old wooden box. That feeling only lasted until I opened up the box.

Hmm that looks different than mine, anything special? Looks a bit longer.

They did have one that was totally boxed up but that one had a two piece handle. This one was a one piece handle and just came "wrapped" as shown.

Friday I bought a box, my dealer was running some sort of special. Not gonna say exactly how much I paid, but it was much less than list price. Very happy with my purchase, but I can only fill like two drawers (most of my stuff lives in my cart). I guess I'm that kid with the shiny box.


Went to Lowes, I like their sockets, and it's cheap enough to be replaceable when it walks away. COO is Taiwan. Extensions feel nice, haven't used them yet though. Oh yeah, the Hansen-style trays are on sale for $5 for the three pack.

Went to Home Depot because I needed a punch set (broke the HF ones) and had been eyeing the Mayhew ones. Mini-pry bars and even the plastic case are US-made too!

 

[BK13]

then I hit Harbor Freight to try to get the top box for the 44 inch roll cabinet and a side cabinet but they were out until next shipment, Wed. or Thurs.

But I got these while there

Also bought an angle grinder and a few other things.

Royal Blue.

I didn't like the color, but it's grown on me.

Enjoy this site, avid collector of quality USA tools

 

[JJThrasher]

Some chrome and some good old forged steel!

 

[rshadd]

I picked up a Amprobe BAT-200 Battery Tester. It's a nice little tester and I think it's more convenient to use than a multimeter.

Proto Clik Stop adjustable set. I was kinda surprised to see a Western Forge Stamp on them,

I've got some Wright adjustables with WF stamps.

 

[nmcqueen469]

Got this baby for a SMOKING deal on Craigslist.




Taking it in to have the start capacitor replaced in the motor...hopefully that's all it needs to be up and running.

What is the Clikstop?

 

[knocker]

Yeah, my so dealer told me it just came out, they redesigned the end cap since that was a big problem w/ the old breaking or stripping, idk and on both sides of the screen there are led's that let u know when you are approaching your set torque green, yellow, red, I like it. I know I'm leaving some new features out. I have a head job in the next couple of days that will let me break her in.

 

[Conductor562]

The knurled wheel has a method of locking the wrench in place to keep the jaw from running during use. I had an 8" one time that was awesome. Finally decided to order a new set.

 

[bsmith405]

I got sick of looking on CL for a used USA made compressor, so I bought a new 7.5 hp Champion Advantage series!

 

[Carsandtools]

I scored some Craftsman USA tools on crazy clearance at Kmart. First, a 12 piece Nutdriver set with hollow shafts for long bolts. The set came with a nice zipper case.

Then I lucked up on a pair of 8 inch long nose pliers, as if I didn't already have a few of these. However, this pair will go in my car tool bag.

Note the price tag on this one ($5)

I believe if you look at his picture of the single adjustable wrench.. you can see some "knurling" on the end of the thumbscrew, in the direction that the movable jaw will be pushed upon applying torque to the handle. That may in turn contact some inner surface designed to hold it in place instead of turning or "adjusting" itself loose.

That's what I think it is.

Yea, it has little teeth at the base of the knurled wheel that lock it into position. When adjusting the wheel you apply slight upward pressure. There is a spring in the wheel that allows it to set back in place once the adjustment has been made.

I was at lowes today and getting some flooring and noticed it was it 29$ and some change couldn't pass it up

 

[SC-AW11]

got the same set. I actually like the 6 n 1.
