I want that torque wrench. I think it's one of the best ones out there.

I have one, I love it.

 

[gaffobohs]

Damn KRSC43 wasn't on the truck yet, and you can't leave empty handed

How much did that torque wrench set you back?

 

[NorCalWrenchin]

My driver's a good guy and I got it for 300. Think they retail at 350 or so...

You guys have me scared that i bought a bad impact:/

Ha, the exact opposite. I have a feeling that I paid less for it, but that gun kicks ***. I would gladly pay twice what I did for it; but I'm a cheap ***, so I didn't.

I was just surprised they were the same.

 

[marinepride]

I got it for 279

 

[gaffobohs]

I presume thats made by Precision Instruments and re-branded as Snap-on?
My tool guy has this one which doesn't seem too expensive especially in CAD

 

[NorCalWrenchin]

Yep the c3fr250f. I dont know the conversion, but I know that I could have bought it cheaper.. IF I could have afforded the all-at-once out of pocket haha.

 

[cadavjo]

That's less than I expected, I want to say the shelf said like $250. I have an account, and they say I get a discount, so I probably paid $285.

 

[marinepride]

Was the item of the month. Also cornwell is manufactured 6 miles from me.

 

[Fcvapor05]

^^^ Very nice haul!

Grazie.

That plastic tube that the ratcheting screwdriver came in also made a perfect home for my set of spade bits that I couldn't put anywhere. Win!

If you have enough air, that sumbitch is a good deal off a truck.

PTP make good impacts. They also make Matco's new high end IR look-alike and they manufacture MACs AWP titanium impacts and rebrands exclusively for Stanley. Rarely see anyone say a bad word about them or their products in general. They make a lot of tools for the trucks and I believe are also connected with Sunex.

Yep sure is. He's a good guy. Our only truck guy actually. Before I started there used to be a snap on guy but apparently management got pissed off with people spending so much time in the truck.

Those Blue power sockets are they the equivalent to Matco's ADV sockets?

sorry for the blurry bad pic, was in the middle of work but excited i finally got my westling machine torx bit holder, feels like such high quality, sturdy aluminum

 

[marinepride]

Sweet holder!

 

[BJ42LX]

I bought one of these after seeing it here.

I can't say I'm too impressed with it. It has a "breakover" handle so it converts to a t-handle. But there's no detent or friction holding it in place when its in the straight position. If I squeeze it in my hand when its in the wrong orientation the handle will start to fold. Rotate the handle 180' and it doesn't do that. Not a big deal but it is going to be a little fiddly.

I need a blade handle and for $10 I won't complain much. But I was hoping for more from a German made tool. Those guys usually get it right.

BTW, it comes with a hex shank (Taiwan) and a small handful of bits (China).

Got a couple of deals from canadian tire for the tool box at home

And while I was in cali for the last 2 weeks I stopped by a couple sears to find some USA goodies I wanted

The o2 sensor adapter is from autozone and the super lube from none other but HF. My gf had a good laugh when we were at hf and I asked the cashier where I could find super lube lol [emoji6]

For all you guys and gals recommending it for ratchet internals and what not did I atleast get the right one (or was I supposed to get the spray?) I always used light oil before but figured id give it a go.

 

[franzdom]

The Super Lube tube is correct...

 

[biscuit141]

I use a light coat of superlube on all teeth and the pawls of every ratchet I rebuild. So far, so good.

 

[lilredex]

Found a Craftsman (Covel) power hacksaw recently. It is complete and only needed minor fine tuning to make it saw like a champ. The previous owner made that drip pan, which is a rather neat feature on its own.

Only two complaints as it is... no wheels and it sits too low. Both will be remedied shortly.

I had one of these before, but foolishly sold it, due to cramped shop space at my previous location. Not going to happen again!

You can also find the manual over at OWWM, if anyone needs it.

This was delivered on Thursday and still waiting on electrician as I don't want to mess with 240v.

 

[fireeqpsrv]

Over the last few days I picked up a few things.



Got these trim tools at the good ol HF



Don't know why but it is always hard to find replacement bits for an impact driver. While I was nosing around on Amazon found these Tekton


Did I need this no not really. A friend bought it and had some things come up and was going to return it to get the money back I said I would give him the money and put it at the house.


I was working on Dad's AC on his car and was using a needle thermometer in the vent and it was not reading right so I decided what the heck I might as well but an IR thermometer for the service truck. Looked at HF and they are around 30 when on sale 35 right now. everywhere else wants close to 70 for them. Just so happens there is this place at a local Outlet mall here and we saw this there last weekend. $49.99 and it rechargeable. I figured to go this route instead. What do y'all think?



Lastly I kinda always wanted one of these but they are to me pricey even at HF so while I was at this outlet store they had this on special 74.00 for reconditioned model with battery ad charger. Regularly in the store they are 104.00 Not sure if I got a decent deal on an inspection scope or not Opinions?

 

[bodyguy16]

Id be happy with that pricing, lots of happy ryobi owners on here.

What is the drive size of these?

 

[bodyguy16]

My guess is 5/16

 

[ADSR]

BG16, Those maximum wrenches cannot be beat for the money.

 

[fireeqpsrv]

3/8th drive

I used to get them at Sears, they actually stocked impact driver bits. All of the true sears store anywhere around here closed and the franchise locations do not stock them and would have to order. I got all of these for the price of 2 bits at sears.

 

[foghorn1966]

Travinsky....
Use some hockey pucks for your compressor tank feet.

 

[Jarhead0408]

Or a rubber stall mat. Both work well.

I didn't know they made them just for torque. Wish they would fit both 1/4" and 3/8" Bits. Edit: Had to go look and they do have both sizes on one rail. I gotta get one!

 

[bodyguy16]

Wow I thought tou were referring to the bit end not the socket drive sorry. Late night post
