Where did you order the blackhawk sockets from?

Or a Friday around 430. That always concerned me about the "3-5" second delay in hand grenades.

I have a set of MM Easco 1/2 drive and they're stamped upside down like that.

Thanks.
It has all the collets and both machines had seen little use. They are in great condition. The only minor thing was the monitor was an old bulky box but I had a slim flat screen here so I am very happy with the purchase.
I got some Blackhawk to fill my boxbut somehow a PROTO 12-point 12mm socket got in there and the 11mm was missing from the set. That's like a free upgrade (sort of, but not really) and then I noticed something very wrong. Check out how backasswards they made the 6mm socket.
It's special. For when you need extra clearance on the ratchet-end of things. All made in the USA, and the Blackhawks are really nice except for these serious issues. I just can't get used to how the roll-stamps are all printed upside down from what I'm used to, although I plan to get more anyway. Great price for some nice USA chrome.
They threw in an extra 5/16 on the sae set i have. I don't know who does their packing but they are much more worried about speed than precision packing lol. Fine with me tho I think they are the best deal in hand tools. The price is no where near the quality in a good way. I'd hold on to the mismade socket and lend it out

Pretty decent haul this morning.
I love the M12's, I had no idea.... thanks gj
It's funny how I see other people buying similar items. I recently got those Wiss cutters, but today I just got that 8oz Estwing ball peen too!
Stopped into sears today because they had knipex stuff on sale, and I need a new water pump plier. Walked out with that and these Crescent 'X2' long reach pliers.
Didn't NEED them, but this pair was without packaging (sales guy said they caught some kid trying to steal them, and he'd destroyed the package.. who stuffs 14" pliers down their pants?!) so they were discounted. At $15 I couldn't pass them up.

Crescents are the best ones I have found. I tried a few.

Some purchases over the last month.
Epstein's order of Wilde roll pin punches, 9" lock ring pliers, and piston ring groove cleaner. Bonney & Granco 3/8" drive 15/16" & 1" crowfoot wrenches too.
Some older Made in USA Husky Metric flare nut wrenches. Not sure who made these at the time, but they look identical to my SK flares that showed up the same week.
Also loaded up a couple more Cripe orders, didn't take pics though.

Nice find, why do you refer to the cobra knipex as water pump pliers ? Ive seen others refer to them like that also, what do they help with on water pumps

Because that's what they are called by a lot of pliers OEMs like Knipex and NWS. My guess is due to the fact they are used on plumbing components in place of pipe wrenchs. Something like a channel lock doesn't really replace a pipe wrench but cobras or similar pliers can replace most pipe wrenchs.
Got an IR 2145QiMAX 3/4" gun for the shop as our old CP772H is getting very tired. Still turn semi lug nuts 30* or more to hit 480. I don't hammer all day with the impact though. Just run them down then a couple seconds on each one a second time and then torque. The IR is 3lbs light which is really nice and an much shorter as well as being better balanced. The CP is 1000ft-lb max reverse and IR is almost 1400. I need a lot of forward torque for stud pilot wheels too, the CP really let's me down taking those off. The IR does take 3 times as much air at load though. It's only $100 more and we'll worth it. Have a 2135QTiMAX for the shop that's been great so I think the 2145 will be nice as well. I like the 2135 more than my MG725. Smaller, quieter and a much nicer way to change the setting.
Also got myself a Weller Pyro pen butane soldering iron.

That gun has changed my life, when I got mine there was a mail in rebate, making it a killer deal.
Don't know if you have a sleeve coming for it, but I really recommend it.

just added the last piece to my Makita LXT collection:
1/2" compact impact
I can finally say that all my power tools (with the exception of the Snap-on driver) are now all the same brand, and more importantly - use the same battery system
Makita brushless impact drill / driver
Makita brushless 1/4" impact
Makita 1/2" compact impact
Makita angle grinder
Makita Led work light

I have the exact same weller pyro pen. Just wait until you fire that bad boy up. It sounds like a turbo being spooled up. That thing can solder some thick wires.Because that's what they are called by a lot of pliers OEMs like Knipex and NWS.

I love my 2145. It was a world of difference being able to do truck lugs and torque arms one handed, vs using the shop's ancient huge heavy gatling gun.
I think the old gun hurt my back worse than wrestling off wheels and drums!

Driver came in and gave these to me. Said he found them in between the fender and body of the schoolbus he's been driving. I've dropped and found many tools in the same spot! A snap on 3/8 ratchet, 13mm wrench and 13mm socket. Doesn't belong to anyone in the shop but could belong to a guy who got fired a few months back (who was probably the biggest a**hole i've ever worked with!) Really not sure tho

Water pump pliers are a specific design which was originally invented for packing seals used in water pumps, before o-rings or molded seals existed. A water pump plier has jaws angled away from the handle, and there is a recess shaped into each jaw for good grip on round shafts. Not all water pump pliers are adjustable- my dad has a (very old...) set that comes with something like 5 pair marked with specific sizes. Some people call all angled slip joint pliers 'water pump pliers' because they look similar.
Got these recently.
This pic is perfect. The first and third tools from the right are adjustable 'water pump ' pliers. The rest are not, if you care about exact/technically correct names for your tools. I don't really care either way- if someone calls a regular pair of channel locks a waterpump plier, I certainly don't correct them. Little tool history details like this do interest me though, if you can't tell ha ha.

Picked up one of these the other day ...
Seems OK for what I wanted.
Anybody got one and had issues/faults with them ??
