Where did you buy these from? Very nice..

The extensions are made by Toptul. Toptul's Parent company Rotar is a Taiwanese company that makes high end industrial grade surface finishing machinery that many European and German hand tool companies use to plate/polish their tools. A couple years ago Rotar created Toptul to manufacture their own hand tools, which is why Toptul's products have incredible looking chrome, and their chrome is more durable than any other tool brand that I own. These tools just don't look good either, they are much better than many domestic made tools, and quality wise rival the truck brands.

I bought the extensions from a Canadian Toptul dealer that is now out of business (I can't recall the name.) I ended up getting the last of his stock and paid only $7 for the extensions that you see there . There are two other Toptul dealers in the USA, they are WrenHandTools, and UltimateGarage. Both Mike and Steve who runs each site respectively are fantastic people to deal with. The newer extension's chrome is slightly different though, it is more watery smooth looking than what is pictured. The new style satin chrome is the same as Toptul's sockets and wrenches which is still very nice looking. Heres a close up picture of a Toptul wrench I have...

looking at those that hex end looks like a pretty cool feature...you could use them on a ratchet or for some odd reason if you needed you could use a open or box end wrench on them.

Yeah they are a niffty feature for sure. I've only had to use a wrench on the hex end twice, but it saved me a whole lot of time and frustration so I'll take it.

I have been considering getting the xp120 set like that as backups to my SO stuff.

They may not end up being your backups...... I like my 120xp stuff more than my dual 80s.

I've been eyeing these Craftsman branded Knipex 7" & 10" Cobra Pliers for a while now and finally bit the bullet and bought them from eBay for $33. Knipex quality with the Craftsman full warranty, that a great combination. Now I can retire my crappy robogrips.

I also picked up a 1/2" nut driver to replace one that I can't find. $3 on eBay.

Expen$ive hop onto the truck this morning. To lessen the pain I had traded in some nearly new snap on sockets with a rail that were duplicates.

The Matco screwdrivers are/were Witte made in Germany.I doubt that those GearWrench screwdrivers are made anywhere other than China or Taiwan.

You're right the Matcos are Witte but both screwdriver's shanks look super similar side by side. Both great screwdrivers from either place in my opinion.

Cornwell extra long 3/8 ratchet (JR40) and 3/8 drive in 1/4 body (TR32). Both are solid beyond belief.

^^ a few more items from zoro tools today; a klein #0 robertson driver, an ideal reflex NM stripper (12/14 gauge) and a few more S-K turbosockets in 1/4" and 3/8" drive. a few of them are of the "deep twist" variety.

a little corollary to my question on this board a maybe a week and a half about them, the turbosockets actually work very well, i was impressed at how quickly they popped off a fastener that a slotted screwdriver just could not do. as long as you have the clearance to get the turbosocket on the work, it will really do the job. from my testing, you want a turbosocket that's exactly matched to the work: so if you have a fastener with diameter 10mm at the head, you want to use the 10mm turbosocket. maybe grab a size lower too in case it gets ground down a little bit. when sized correctly they should fit well with no pounding required. great product!

I bought the bag from UltimateGarage though they were on sale last week so I paided slightly less. The same bag is also available from Mac tools just with Mac's logo. Both Facom and Mac have the same parent company, Stanley Tools.


Here are two pictures of the inside of the bag, they didn't come out as nice as the two I posted before, and you can't see the slots along the inside of the bag so I'll retake better pictures and PM them to you. In the mean time, here are some factory pics that show its tool storage a little better than I can...

Thanks!!

I knew I recognized that bag. Our Mac guy uses one to carry in his weekly deals. Looks nice

 

[Veto]

I've had the Facom Probag BS.T20 for about a year now, and I love it, very sturdy and love the 'hooks' for the tape measure and wrenches. The screwdriver holder is pretty neat too, but only fits around 6 Wera screwdrivers, if you had slimmer handled screwdrivers you might be able to fit more.

You are most welcome Mazdaratti! I'll PM you more pictures some time tomorrow.

I noticed that about the screwdriver holder as well. I figured that I'd placed my 1/4in extensions in the holders that are blocked by the screwdriver handles. I've been eying the Probag for quite some time but just didn't pull the trigger for one reason or another. Once I saw this one on sale I had to have it. I'm glad I did as the tool bag offerings from the local stores were not as robust and in general less quality. Seeing the bag in person is what did it in for me. The Facom bag just reeked quality and felt really well made. It's looking mighty nice now that it has some Facom screwdrivers, hammers, and pliers in it as well

Today

 

[claythrower]

Picked this up today, needed a good set with a warranty since the shop communal set is picked clean and missing the most common sizes

I need to do the same thing, I hate searching for the right tool in the communal pile...

 

[KaHuNaZ]

Picked up one of these recently. I absolutely love the thing. I've only put about 1000 nails though it, but its working great so far. I left it over at my friends house and hes going nuts just looking for things to nail.

Sweet, have to look into that. What did it run if you dont mind me asking?

The nailer by itself is $129. you have to buy the batteries and charger separately, but I am already invested into the ryobi one+ system.

Agreed - this has been most of my tool buying lately - getting my own of stuff which everyone else leaves the shop tools in a mess / mixed up and dirty or juts can't be found.....
Recently bought that tap die kit in the SO version.

 

[acmech]

Picked up some ball end Allen sockets and a few deep crows feet

Same here my main job is the warehouse side of things but I help in the summer with the mechanical side. The shop foreman tells me to use the two tool chests we have in the shop. No thanks I'll invest the money in my own stuff to help me work faster

I've got both the ball allen head sockets and the complete deep crows foot set in my box. Luv 'em. There are several fasteners on the planes we work on that the flare crows feet are about the only thing that will grab the fastener.

 

[NUTTSGT]

I guess I can add this to the thread. A new Wagner heat gun.

 

[atwageman]

Just some clamps from HF.
