thats just one of the many benefits of living in Canada :sad: . Getting shafted is normal.:(

Channel locks go on sale for at least half price at crappy tire every few months. And the everyday pricing is way less than what you paid.

Where the heck are you to be paying those prices? Nunavut?

Just came this afternoon. Tried it around the house tonight - lights up a room fully, and lights up the truck plenty, if I had to work on it. Heck, lights up the whole yard.

I'm working in attics and crawlspaces all the time, so totally worth it to me.

Up in the attic it will be golden. The attic is so dry, the led is totally safe to bring up there.

Is the light m12 or m18?

M18. Specs state that it's 1100 lumens on low, 1300 high, and that you get up to 8 hours on the low setting.


Looking for one right now....:willy_nil

Home Depot online shows them still in stock for $99, and will ship for free. They had been out of stock for months, up until this week.

Some NOS Bahco stuff

Some NOS Bahco stuff came today to match some of the old HD/Bahco stuff I had laying around. I really like the ratchets. The 1/4 says, "BAHCO", and the 3/8 says, "HARLEY DAVIDSON". Everything has the Snap-On date code from 2002. The 3/8 sockets came on an ERNST rail, and the 1/4 stuff came in the most heavy-duty bag I've ever seen - it's like a bank bag, but better. The zipper on it is even stamped, "USA/YKK" and it's HUGE (it's a YKK size #10 zipper). The extensions are THICK, much thicker than my Craftsman ones. Everything is proudly USA made, and it's all high quality. The chrome on the ratchets is really smooth.

It would be the perfect portable kit for a S.A.E. motorcycle.

Lovin the koolaid, I have a high rpm sioux palm drill that is my daily beater for sheetmetal, but it is a waste of air and time on steel and other hard metals I've been running into on all these home builts that have been coming into the shop. This drill is an absolute animal smooth, slow, and powerful. The drill bits and extractor were "free" with the drill.

My "fhl 80". Ok its not the snap on I wanted. But its new vs used. And first impressions I believe I'm going to actually like this better. 90 teeth vs 80. Slimmer all the way around vs the snappy. And its about an inch longer at just under 12.5". Repairs kits are held in house so no realistic down time if I have to have it. (Which I have plenty of back ups if need be) and dare I say, the chrome looks better. Well just have to see what longevity is on it. As a diyer, should be forever in proper use. The first job it'll be elected to do will be spark plugs on a jeep 4 liter. Lol

That is a killer deal wish I coulda justified it when my dealer has it but I just don't drill enough holes.

$57.** my Napa had it in stock
Very slim head design. 90 teeth with (iirc) 10 teeth in contract with the pawl. I can get you the pn if you want. The inside looks a lot like a gearwrench 84t. Regardless of what the tell you though, they ship dry. Guy told.me no its lubed and ready to go. Well when I took it apart at home, it was dry. The cover plate is held in with a c clip. Which is a little interesting to remove and replace, but not too bad


The post above this one

Nice set of flex heads!

Saw that ad last night. Needless to say I went over just before work. Though they honored the $40 price on the ad, I have a feeling Dru is not in internet sales any longer. :shocking:

They don't appear to have ever been used........
