Well I Guess The Guy Couldn't Pay Him, So He Bought It Back, Just Found Out The Real StoryaA Few Minutes Ago. I Like It, Was Kinda Skeptical At First About It Not Having A Locking Head, But Now I Don't Mind It At all

I always wondered about them but GP and sunex are so good and so cheap I never was willing to risk giving them a chance. how does that finish hold up and what is the COO?

Ive been using their impact sockets for a couple years now and they still look good. They are made in Taiwan

nice! just got the exact same one today new..i need to quit this addiction lol, i wanted the green one, but i guess my SO guy said green ratchets are a limited time thing? like special occasion, didn't think that was right but oh well, still love the ratchet, it's smooth as hell except its a little hard getting sockets off of it but that'll get better with use

Picked these up as a bogo deal with a buddy at work. Surprising quality for 70 bucks. Even if the coo is China lol. Comes in a really nice blow molded case too.

I picked up a magnetic tray and 1/4" speed handle from Sears. The speeder was on sale for $2.60 !

That is a super deal!! Was in New Hartford (N.Y.) Sears earlier this week and picked up a couple of those 1/4" speeders for $9 ea. and thought that was good. Only one is U.S. made, though.

Few new additions. Finally got myself a proper multimeter, and one that can do automotive stuff as well - UNI-T UT109. Little slow to give readings (1 sec pause), but seems well built and featured for sub-$100.

Also decided to dive into some more serious automotive tools - 20 Ton Hydraulic Press. Whilst I was putting it together I decided to add some nice caster wheels. Makes it real easy to position to a good spot when in use and hide it away to free up floor space at other times.

Already given it some use. Main impression, the air-assisted/operated pumping is AWESOME. Took easily 1/8th the time if I had been pumping manually. Barely took the gauge go above 5 ton when removing and installed front control arm bushing for a Mercedes ML320. Only tricky part was getting the parts held and aligned....need some tips as it felt awkward.

Next on my to buy list - Engine crane. Been wanting one for ages but just haven't found the need. Still don't have the need, but I'm hoping if I just get one I'll soon wonder how I ever did some tasks without one.

I don't understand why the ratchet it is Hazet


probably ordered from an indudstrial supplier that, to match the specs of his order, had to use parts from various manufacturers and/or that he had in stock and/or were a bit cheaper. nothing unusual since that supplier handles warranty usually. :)

You may find that old, large impact sockets and sections of pipe in various diameters to be handy for press work. I also find that old hubs, bearing races, etc come in handy as well.

BTW, I like the idea of having casters on the press to make it mobile.
