Yes, someone said that they are made by Caillau. This makes sense since Caillau is apparently the patent holder for the "Clic-R" hose clamps.

Got some stuff at Menards.
3/8" drive breaker bar branded as Masterforce
1/2" breaker bar branded as Allen
(looks virtually the same as the Masterforce, as I've read one this forum that people say that Masterforce is rebranded Allen)
Also got a Masterforce 20mm socket.

Masterforce = Allen.
The Fedex truck dropped off some Cornwell US made goodness today. 7 piece extra loong zero offset boxed end wrench set. Sizes run 8 to 22mm. Nice thick beams, no knife edges here. WBWMLOHP7ST is the set number. I took them out of the plastic to share with you.
They look schmick. Have you used them yet? Did you manage to get them on special?

The list price ($370.76) and even last month's special price ($290.76) is pricey. I picked them up on ebay for a lot less. As with any of my new tool purchases, it seems like they have to sit in my cart awhile before the need arises. I do like the thick beams and heft though.
Paid;
- $15 total for both Diablo (Italy) Demo Demon Blades.
- $20 for each Ridgid (USA) Wrench.
Plus, I used a coupon to lower prices further. I'm liking the hefty feel of this new ridgid wrench. This thing can take some seriously hard use.

My American made Proto open-end angle wrenches arrived today along with the American made Proto ignition tool set. This is the inch (3/8" to 1-1/14") set. The metric set should be here in a few days. They were pricey but well worth it for working in tight spots.

Looks good.
Are the Proto open-end angle wrenches as shiny as they appear to be ?

Yes. They are very shiny and blingy. Think Harley-Davidson kind of chrome.

Finally got myself a 3' extension. This Snap-on FX36 will go nicely with the FX24 that my Dad just gave me. I use one of these FX36's all of the time, love it, and just bought this one for myself on eBay for $26. I'm very happy about it even though it's just an extension haha.
I also got those 3 HF composite ratchets and the 25" breaker bar to see if they are any good. Also picked up a Craftsman manual impact.

brand new mac tools 12v 3/8 impact gun ( dewalt on steriods )
my mac guy is super awesome hooked me up with one of the first guns to be released to dealers across the country. this little guy is the big brother of the Dewalt version. they are both made by dewalt but this one has a stronger motor which supposedly produces 200 ft lb TORQUE on a full charge battery, after that its 150. i traded up my old 12v dewalt 3/8 for this bad boy. the power is really noticeable off the bat as soon as you pull the trigger. the motor doesnt sound like it struggles one bit.
as you can see i have my fair share of power tools

all depends on what your doing. professional or weekend warrior. either way the M12 is one heck of a tool ive used daily for the past 1 1/2 year in the field auto tech and u can tell by how abused it is. the new snap on one does have a longer reach and trigger is easier then the m12 ( placement wise) am able to reach up into tight spots and still use the snap on one but the m12 it wont work.the m12 body always feels like i might crack it if i try to bust nuts/bolts with it but it hasnt yet! so its tough. the ball lock piece on the top end of the ratchet that holds the sockets in isnt strong so when am working and move my ratchet up extensions tend to fall off really easy.
$150 to $300 bucks you make your choice.
i have both m12 3/8 and the snap on 1/4 and i still use both. i dont even own a air ratchet anymore thats how much i love these tools.

Do you think that the dewalt 12V batteries would interchange on the mac impact?
Cost of kit?
200 ft lb on 12V is crazy!
Thanks

This is my first Klein ratchet, it seems pretty smooth but I have not used it yet.
Part number 65720 comes up on the Klein site as a 3/8 ratchet but it looks different. Not sure if Klein makes these themselves (I doubt it) or if it's rebranded by someone else.
Either way I am curious to know, I will probably make a separate thread for this.

That would be good. Sometimes you can get Klein branded sockets for cheap and if they are made in USA to would be interesting to find out imo.
Just saw a mac dealer about the new 12V impact wrench 3/8.
Pricing around 300 for the kit.
No specs on hand about the 3/8 or 1/2 version.
Interchangable with dewalt 12V batteries.
Played with the 1/2 version 12V. If your familiar with dewalt's 12V impact driver or impact wrench its almost the same in terms of weight and feel. Only 1 LED light though.
I may have to pick up the bare tool depending on specs though.
