Halfflip...are you a detailer? Nice big foot. I hear that's the new polisher to use these days...I had it done on my car. I see you also have some studio monitors there...but deduct points for using a MAC

Not a professional, just like to keep my car clean. Its just as important as keeping it mechanically maintained :thumbup:

I had always wanted a polisher to take out the swirls that slowly have accumulated over the years on my car and recently my headlights have shown signs of hazing up, so I figured I would finally buy myself a Rupes since it was new. Just waiting for end of the rainy season to try it out

And as for the apple keyboard...its connected to this rig that I finished last week! Im waiting for the new gtx870 to come out ...I will admit that I do have a macbook air though lol

Bought a Long Pattern SK Metric Wrench Roll 6-24mm for home. My other box is mostly matco wrenches with a little snapon sprinkled in, they seem much thinner than the sk's in comparison. We will see how I like the sk's with use. They are definitely well made, and I like the aesthetics. If I like them I'll probably get one of the big standard rolls too.

Let's see some pictures of this!! :beer:

No problem. 21pc Craftsman Industrial crowfoot wrench set, new from Summit. Also from Summit, a couple Craftsman Industrial extensions. The 1/4" drive, 10" long extension is Armstrong brand I purchased through Sears. I wanted a 3", 6", and 10" extension in all three drive sizes and with these additions I have them. I'm adding to a Craftsman tool set I purchased back in 2010.

Also, based on recommendations from this awesome site, I bought the three piece set of long reach pliers from the auction site. Awesome pliers!

Phil is the man, indeed!

Is the Rupes your first machine, or is an upgrade for you?

Rupes is my first machine. I first got interested in detailing when the pc 7424xp was the favored beginner machine. After being away from the community for a bit, I came back and learned about the Rupes. It seemed perfect cause it took the ease of use of the pc/griots and gave it much more correcting ability.

Picked up this starrett 818 automatic center punch, knurling is very nice, the tip is beefy, and hits harder compared to my no-name cheapie

Finally got my M18 fuel 3/8 impact. I love this thing. Already threw away the case and used it to finish dissembling a door, so unfortunately no clean shots.
