Here's some of the tools I picked up in the last month or so:

The Fuller pliers, Allen USA 3/8" quick release ratchet, and Williams diagonal pliers cost me 25 cents each. The Chicago Pneumatic Impact Wrench I got for a few bucks and the Craftsman grinder came from my grandfather.

I took the opportunity to clean the grinder last night with some CLR, I wanted to bring back the chrome striped panel in the center. I included a shot of my new flat file which may or may not have a home in my shop. It was so heavy that we had to take out all the drawers just to load it into my Volvo. I can't remember the last time I had to do that!

Tekton metric angle wrench set. The finish isn't too bad for China.

Neat,those MATCO angle wrenches look like the older Bonney sourced wrenches from years past.Were those new off the truck?


i actually got them online, save about 40$ instead of truck. coo usa


those ratcheting wrenches are sweet. i'm so glad to be done borrowing them on a daily basis.

Brought these goodies home this week:



The flex wrenches are $19 at HD ($17 if you're AD and have your ID). The X-Beams were a bit hrader to find, but they came in the mail this week. $42 for them (that includes shipping) off of eBay. So $59 for both, I am not complaining!

Unfortunately, the seller on eBay has no more of these or I'd link him - sorry guys =/.

Not a tool, but something that means something more to me than any tool!

More awesome than any tool! :thumbup:

Many recent purchases/arrivals..



Special terminal release tools from VW. For Micro Timer II, Junion Power Timer and Maxi Power Timer.





Two Streamlight Survivors. The orange one for me and the yellow for a friend:



Led flashing light heads & controller:



I have 8 LED heads in my flashing lights running off one controller. With this controller now i can split them front/rear and still have them sync'd. So when towing i don't blind the car behind and when dealing with broken down cars i don't blind oncoming traffic.

More to follow.. Sorry for the huge pics. Photobucket seems to have stopped my 800x600 limit. Grrr.

Here's my Williams 8 piece screwdriver set. I couldn't bring myself to by Snap On, since these are only $46 on Amazon. I love these handles!
<a href="http://imgur.com/rqwcTVi"><img src="http://i.imgur.com/rqwcTVi.jpg" title="Hosted by imgur.com"/></a>

Snap On square screwdriver set, Klein 1/4" and 5/16" magnetic nut drivers, and a Gray Canada 1/2" ratchet.
Evan though they are not a high tooth count ratchet, Gray ratchets are smooth, and feel like a rifle bolt with every click. My 3/8" Gray ratchet has almost no black lash once the pawl engages the next tooth. This 1/2" one has some back lash, but it is twice the size.

Is that a 7.2 screw gun, or is there one available that uses the same battery as the ratchet?

^^ The 7.2v Screw-Gun will accept the 14.4v battery, but not vice-versa. Crazy good runtime with the larger batteries and in my opinion there is no comparison between the Snap-On cordless ratchet and anything else on the market. It took me several weeks to convince myself to pick one up, but I have zero buyers remorse after pulling the trigger. I only weigh ~175 but this thing can handle me using my body weight and jerking on it not-so-gently and just keep on going. I have the 3/8" and will be adding the 1/4" to the box sometime after Christmas.

Nice table. I'm still waiting for the proper piece of plate steel to cross me so I can build mine. Is that 1/2" plate? Estimated weight?

So the snap on guy walks in our shop and sees me using another brand (it shall remain nameless) impact driver. Let me try his and I was instantly sold. Plus I bought a set of swivel 3/8 sockets and a set of of deep 3/8 sockets.

Ya it's was on special. I NEVER buy anything from SO that's not on sale or some kind of deal or throw ins. I just recently moved jobs and only been dealing with this dealer for a month. Seems eager for my business and gave me an insane deal for all 3 items.
