Aren't most of SO's plastic boxes made by Plano or one of the other plastics big names, anyway? That organizer is nice, but not 130 bucks nice (if ordered from SO), IMO.

I wanted one too and thought the same thing when my driver gave me the price. I went to home depot tonight and picked up a 3 drawer one for $12. Gotta put some snap on stickers on it now.

I like using the long pick to get to the heater core hoses by the firewall. But be carefull using these picks, my coworker poked a hole in a hose he was trying to remove :dunno:

Nice!! I just got the same set in green the other week. Already used the shirt one a lot. The long one I haven't touched yet

Same here. Well almost. I thought I jabbed it under the hose but I stuck it in the end. Only about a cm before I realized what I did

Picked up my new Quincey 60 gal compressor yesterday, started getting the regulator & dryer mounted this afternoon. Will be wiring it up tomorrow and hopefully have it running.

I just bought a couple of things, mainly out of nostalgia. When I was young and my father was teaching me the craft, we used a set of wrenches like these. I collected these from a few various cheap eBay auctions. They're all made is USA, but some are -v- code and some are -vv- code. I don't care since they all match and lay in the rack nicely next to each other.

And this one is another nostalgia buy. My dad had one when I was younger. I have a bunch of nice and high dollar SnapOn, Mac, and SK ratchets, but these little S-K Wayne 1/4" guys are the most enjoyable for me to use.

How do you like those? How much play is in the jaws? I may go check my HD tomorrow at lunch time.

The jaw does wiggle a good bit. But they seem pretty good for $6. Open and close super fast. I'm sure they'll serve well for around the house and what not.

Reviews on Home Depot say they're pretty sloppy, but for $6...

Yeah... I was just checking out the reviews, they are pretty mixed, some say sloppy, some say good. I guess that's to be expected. I may go buy a set and if they aren't good, I'll give them to my teenager. Ha ha...

Not much, but I picked up a pair of 7 inch quick release vise-grips from the clearance section at Menards for $9. Seem to grip much tighter than the older original ones I have.

Recent new arrivals of Lang Tools. After the last job which involved the removal of several hoses, I certainly wasn't going to allow myself to be unprepared the next time by ;)

Oh, all of these are USA made to boost :thumbup:

You'll love those. Or I do anyways. I put all my oddball stuff, torx, e torx, etc on that 3 rail setup then regular sockets on individual rails based on long/short/metric/sae/drive

I've never had one fall off and I just throw the sets in the trunk of my car usually

My Koken 3/8 breaker bar bought on Rakuten from tuzukiya.

Cost was 3076 yen + shipping (EMS) at 1800 yen.

The bar is 15" long, uses a pin in the head and has a ball and spring with detents at zero and 90 degrees. Comfy handle grip that is a little beefier than Snap-on.

Trying to decide if this adapter set is a gimmick or not?



Got this bolt extractor set from Canadian Tire for around $22, from the looks of it, it is quite similar to Irwin extractor set 54113
