My new blackhawk 3/8 drive 72 tooth ratchet. Comparison to standard blue point 3/8.(all my snappys are at work)
PS: cat photo bomb.

I see your kitty likes to "help" out, mine is the same. Always trying to get in between me and what I'm trying to do.

How do you get on with the knurling on those Blue-Point ratchet handles ?

 

[Stooge]

Had to order some new cleco pliers since i somehow lost my other pair, a whole $6 ish dollars, made in taiwan but feel pretty well made. also grabbed some side grip cleco clamps i've been meaning to grab, and threw in a few dozen more 1/8 pins since theyre cheap and you can never have too many. From aircraft spruce

Its never been used.

I've always wondered, is a hollow shaft a good thing? And why, if someone knows?

Yes as explained by the others, anytime you need to thread a nut down a long threaded rod.

Are those bit sockets also Wiha? If so, how do you like 'em?

Yes they are, first impression is kind of "meh" when compared with my Snap on bit sockets. Have to see how they work out, hoping the bits are as good as their drivers.

Nice cleco pliers

 

[alex95eg]

My cannon plug pliers walked off from my toolbox also

 

[upgrading]

I wonder who makes these ?
Handle says "molded in Taiwan".
No other stampings on the tools.
Nothing on the package.
They look like May???.

 

[d.mcfarland]

Reconditioned Ryobi 9.6v drill.

$10. 1 year warranty on everything. Should take light duty hole drilling easily.

Thanks to all of the GJ members that have taken the time to answer my questions about ratcheting wrenches / spanners and help me make the decision to purchase a Great Set. My Facom 467 just arrived today

 

[Boredmechanic]

I wish i could justify the purchase of some European tools

Vast majority of Facom is made in Taiwan.

 

[Uncle_Charlie]

These two ratcheting wrenches came home with me yesterday.

It's 8 socket sizes in two wrenches. 8mm/10mm and 12/13mm on one, and 18mm/19mm and 14mm/17mm on the other. I know it's not SO or some other truck brand, but it's fine for something I can throw in the motorcycle tool kit. The only downside I can see is that there's no obvious way to disassemble the wrenches for cleaning.

A taiwanese wrench set is 229$?

 

[Skin]

A taiwanese wrench set is 229$?

If that's what they're priced then yes. Their sockets and wrenches are made in Taiwan.

 

[Boredmechanic]

Ouch.

Finally broke down and bought a drill / impact driver combo. Ryobi One + was what I finally went with. May add the circular saw in the future...probably the only other construction tool I use.

also bought

1/4 Husky roto ratchet (on sale $15)
Stanley tape measure
a couple different size aluminum straight edges

 

[aaronrkelly]

Not really a tool....but I picked up this cabinet on CL the other day for $40.

I love the deep bottom shelf and those pull out drawers are great for sandpaper and scuff pads.

You can see I've already partially insulted the bottom....I've got plans for a heated storage area in the bottom.

Nice. I like those impacts. Where did you pick that set up?

 

[90zcar]

Picked up a craftsman 3 jaw puller made by western forge today. Needed this to seperate an axle from knuckle. I may stick some better bolts in it tho

The impact sockets and a set of SK 1/2" extensions came from National Tool Warehouse. $392.73 with free shipping (Had a coupon). The Milwaukee came from Tool Barn for $209 without the batteries/case (bought the batteries separately from Amazon).

I just used mine for the first "serious" job - front brakes on my car. It has fantastic power, I just wish it was a bit smaller and lighter. That said it did reach all the bolts I needed it to, although I needed to use a universal in a couple of places.

 

[sirweldalot]

Just picked this up.
