Not really a tool but just got this beauty today finally. First professional box been working out of a small harbor freight box. Getting the green body guard set hopefully soon

Congrats! Beautiful box!

 

[joshpellett]

Just ordered the matching SAE set. Had to call around to find a Fastenal that had it in stock, but the SAE set is $36.

Thanks for the info.

Is the sae on sale only in-store? Online it is not on sale

How is that set? I wanted to get it, but I could not find any reviews on it. Hard to pull the trigger on 100 dollars worth of tools when you know nothing about them.

Mainly I was wondering how the ratcheting mechanisms were, if they had plenty of teeth and can hold up to lots of force pushing, pulling etc

Mine arrived and it's OK at the discounted price. Box says 72 tooth mechanism. I haven't counted to verify. As someone already pointed out, the ratcheting "heads" are in a couple of sizes with spacers to make the ratcheting mechanism fit. See my quick photo.

Overall, I'd say it's on par with a Taiwan Harbor Freight item, nice for the price, but deep down there's a nagging feeling that the features/quality meets the price point. I wish they had included a 3/8" square Male to Male adapter to make the swiveling T-bar work with a 3/8" socket.

Other notes: Chrome is decent, not quite par with Gearwrench, the fit of the 3/8" drive ends is ok, but a bit on the sloppy side - detent balls don't hold the parts tight. The plastic case is pretty bad, I'd have preferred a blow-molded arrangement. I didn't have a set of ratcheting flex stubbies in Metric, hence the purchase…kinda of thinking waiting for a set of GW flex stubbies may have been a better plan.

This helps a lot, thanks. I do not think I will be getting them. I like having quality tools that I know will work every time and not break

Green 3/8 comfort grip which I made a how to post with pics for anyone that wants to check it out.
And also a blue point 18mm ratchet wrench to fill in the hole in my gearwrench set

I dig the green grips, I put them on breaker bars to differentiate from my red comfort ratchets

One more note - the long t-bar is quite nice, actually. The "wrench" pieces do fit well into it and the chrome is quite good. Best piece in the set, IMHO. The set "feels" ok, mechanisms in the ratchets are not quite as smooth as my GW wrenches.

It's a decent deal at ~$40.

scrap iron came today

That looks like the mityvac reboxed and rebranded.

 

[MrJason]

After learning that the Red/Blue handled ratchets were being discontinued by EzRed, I opted to buy a set via Amazon. With coupons, I got the price down to $79.94. I threw in a set of Tekton 1/4" extensions, for good measure.

So far, so good.

Got a few tools, I've been wanting, with the cash grandma gave me for my birthday.

Craftsman 10 piece line wrench set. I ordered online and lucked out with a set forged in the good 'ol US of A.

Craftsman 6-in-1 screwdriver

View media item 41971

 

[fireeqpsrv]

Ordered several Ernst wrench racks for my box. I have gotten the organization bug and just cannot seem to stop!



Here are the Jonnesway T-Bar ratching wrench sets. I will so I do disagree on the quality. I have Gear wrench brand stuff that feels about the same. I think the mail thing to remember is even though they have the log T-bar they are in essence stubby wrench with the ability to be a ratcheting crowsfoot. Neither of which are designed for super amounts of torque.

Here is what the sizes are on the Metric set
start with 8mm and stops at 19mm with no skips
I ordered mine through a local Fastenal price was same as web $43.63 + tax

Here is what sizes are in the SAE set (does not show this anywhere I could find online)
Start with 5/16 and ends at 3/4 no skips.
Online does not give you the ability to order them only shows as a case purchase with the msrp of 1 set at something like 212.00. The local Fastenal looked them up and ordered them for 36.87 + tax.

They do charge shipping same as you would pay online and the shipping came out to $10.48

So in total I paid 97.35 for them. My main gripe is no with the wrenches but the boxes they are bulky and will take up alot of space. Even if you take the tray out of the box it is still bulky. I think for the 97.35 They are a good deal for what is in essence 2 sets of wrenches for the cost of 1

Thanks man, I agree! I couldn't resist, as I've been using them this evening to pull apart a Dana 44 front axle, and they are awesome! Perfect mix of ideal leverage and performance radius!

You're going to like how organization feels, those organizers are perfect!

 

[tjmonsen5]

Added the classic 60 top chest to my setup. Good excuse to buy more tools now!

 

[fireeqpsrv]

Started out like this;


now it looks like this:



Drawer with metric, torx, and nut drivers.


Could not wait to try to lay out the wrenches. I do kind of like the Ernst racks wedge and straight designs.and rubberish material instead of hard plastic.

I am not set on placement between the drawers but I think is does look better with a place for everything and everything in its place

 

[Jarhead0408]

For those of you who ordered the Jonnesway ratcheting wrench sets,

Here's a 1/4" bit set equivalent:

[Jarhead0408]

HO-LEE **** though!

Just looked up the price, over $470 dollars!!! No freaking way!

 

[garthg]

It's a big tool: Motorcycle tire changer, TSI TC-027. No steal, but less than half the price of new. Seller (no longer physically able to change tires) included parts boxes containing BMW wheel weights, and ball bearing tire balancer:

Cleaned up and re-painted the platform to match the other details in my garage:

Eklind ball hex set from Menards, with the rebate, it will only be 1 dollar.

They were sold out of SAE, though.

Is that deal in the flyer? Were the sae also rebate eligible? Might go get a set or two if it's not store dependent.

Cash Canada and some independent shops.

I picked up another Milwaukee fuel impact kit today, along with another free battery. This little guy should go good with the big impact I bought a few months ago. Lol. I also picked up two more spare chainsaw chains.

Pawn shop finds of the week.

I've been hitting pawn shops all last week. Got my eye on a 36" matco extension, Matco snap ring plier set, snap on metric crows feet, and a set of standard matco sockets. End of this month I'm going to run back and see what I can get when I get paid.
