How do you like the light? I may buy one of those.
It's a great light! I have other, bigger lights for when I'm working on something for a while but as mentioned it just clips into your top pockets and is a great inspection light.

I like my stream light stylus a lot; I have a half dozen of them around here.
Snapon man warrantees them with no hassle; same day exchange.
I was at a friends shop and we were trying to see the crack in a part. The four of use pulled out the same flash light to look at it.

3/8" Dr. SAE impacts from Tekton. They are pretty good quality for the price.

Today on craigslist a gentleman had a 36 inch bending brake with stand for 75 bucks. While I was there I seen this and fell in love.
I walked out of his garage with both items for $75 [emoji4] When I get home he calls me and says he found a whole other box full of the same clamps he will sell to me for $30. I'm very happy. [emoji2]

I beat on my 1/2in tektons everyday. No complaints. A guy in my shop just got there 3/4 and has rebuilt two hammers with them (Hammers are super hard on impact sockets) he loves them.

Snap-on 1/2 drive set fresh off the truck today. Got a pen light that looks like a ratchet for free, pretty cool!

For the longest time I wanted those first generation duralast sockets. The chrome moly ones because I heard nothing bit good things about them and the fact that for some particular reason, stores always seem to launch a tool line with the best quality stuff. Undoubtly to gain a good reputation, however this never seem to last as the 2nd, 3rd generation usually isn't nearly as good as the first. Case in point, Kobalt, Craftsmen, Gearwrench, etc. They love pulling the bait and switch **** all the time.
Unfortunately most of the good duralast is drying up. The sets are all but gone, most singles sold are the CRV 3rd gen ones. The only stuff left is the odd nos singles that a store may or may not have, depending on how lucky and how busy they are. I have hit half the auto zone in las Vegas and will hit all of them hoping I can piece together a set. Not the best method in regards with cost but I don't care, I want a crmo chrome socket set and I am willing to spent the money to make it happen. 65 dollars later, My collection of random assortment of loose sockets is starting to somewhat resemble like a set.
Also some powerbuilt sockets on husky plastic rails that I got at O'Reillys. The trox and hex socket ate impact rated and made from chrome moly surprisingly. They are extra shallow to help improve clearance. Also got Powrrbuilt metric 3/8dr extra shallow socket. 12pt but for 25 bucks, the chrome and finish seem excellent. Lastly Powerbuilt 1/4 and 3/8 dr ZENO Sockets, it has snnapon/wrightgrip like teeth which allows it to grip and turn rounded and rusted fastener. I tired it, not extensively but they actually worked every time I used it. IMO the performance is similar to the griprite or whatever sockets they sell at auto zone. Wished there was more sizes for them but for like $9.95, I can't complain. Chrome and finish is nice too BTW.
PS. Anybody know any other brands that make their chrome sockets with CR-MO and not the typical CR-V stuff?

$1999.00 plus freight shipping
Nice!!
That's quite reasonable!
Here's my recent haul from KC Tool, Tooltopia.... The pliers were free w/ the pry-bars so I can't argue with that. Wear 3/8 push through, Armstrong 3/8 flex locking, SK flare nut set, 600g Gedore hammer.
I've also included a head shot comparison to show how damn small these heads are on the ratchets--why I bought them. Really ingenious design on the Wera ratchet. I love that the push has two purposes--to lock the ratchet and lock the socket. Very cool!

SK 41692 1/4" Drive metric mid-length. It was $40 on Amazon so I couldn't pass it up.
Not a fan of metal rails that won't stand alone so I put them on a extra Wright that I had.
SK between Wright shallow & deep, all are 10mm
I bought the other set from that Amazon vendor (I think he only had 2) at that $40 shipping included rate. Mine's is in transit though but boy we got a pretty decent deal on that new set. I wonder if mines will come in that plastic Suregrip rail on the pic.

He had 4 sets originally and they shipped from the Pittsburgh area so I had them next day. For $30 cheaper then anyone else I can toss the metal rail.

Gray Tools 36" pry bar. It just squeezes inside my hanging locker
Gray Tools fibre grip 6" vise jaws for my 6" Gray vise
Gray Tools 3/8" 40 tooth acetate handle ratchet
Grip-On locking pliers, 7", 10", 12"
Estwing Ultra hammer
Gray Tools has regular seasonal promotions. They finally have an online store to sell these items, plus clearances and other specials. Too bad it's not for their entire catalogue, but at least some good tools are finally available from them online:
shopgraytools.com
For those who don't know, Gray Tools is an old Canadian tool manufacturer that still makes it's hardline tools in Canada.
I've always wanted to try Grip-On locking pliers, especially since Vice-Grips are now Chinese made. I love the unlocking lever. No more pinched fingers! I bought the Omnium Grip ones; they look like a great multi-function type of jaw. To get free shipping I sprung for a Gray 3/8" 40 tooth ratchet. Hey, shipping was free, right?
I'm at Canadian Tire looking walking down the carpentry tool isle, and what catches my eye but a sweeeet leather handled Estwing hammer. Huh? I-beam construction, magnetic nail starter, side nail puller, and still made in USA? SOLD! Do I need another hammer. Nope. But you gents understand....... I've really taken to Estwing leather handles. They're surprisingly tough, comfortable, and grippy.
I haven't bought any tools for while so these were a really nice addition.
