Those ez-lock cutting wheels are a great invention. A lot handier than the tiny screw style ones.

I prefer the Craftsmans for ease of warranty. The jaws do not hold up as well as my Channel Locks Grip Locks.

I bought another set of Grip on tools 89358 wrench set from MCM Electronics to fill out another tool box Christmas gift,
and one of the wrenches says 'Pittsburgh' - busted
And I got some wrenches for myself:
Wright 750, metric Wrightgrips.

Only spent $10 bux on the snap on truck today but anything is something right?!
Blue point stubby needlenose
I like snap on for the large pliers and whatnot but for the little mini ones I just can't fathom spending 50 dollars for the little guys. That's why I get the blue point ones

started breaking down our dead weight stack in the lab yesterday, ran into an issue and prompted the order of a new Proto titanium 3/4 impact and some 1"+ hex bit sockets and some other odd sized standard sockets.
unfortunately, it didnt even pretend to loosen the bolts, so we bought it for nothing and paid the premium MSC price, although with a corporate discount !

Was the razor blade for cutting up a couple of lines when the new gun didn't do the trick?

well it HAS been a long day!
we basically bought $1100 worth of tools and havent been able to use any of it successfully. went of the word of one of the engineers about what size some actuator bolts were and order 1 5/8 and dont come close to fitting, and the gun itself wont loosen the other hex bit bolts. cant really blame the gun though, the stack's been set up for years and pulls between 10 and 250kip daily so you have to figure the bolts are pretty well stuck in there and we dont know how the rigging people put it together when we moved into the building a few years ago.
it does hit like an absolute animal though, cant wait until it gets lost in the lab and finds it's way to my garage!

Those little trays are awesome, pretty heavy duty too! Worth 30$ individually!!

I got a set of those Knipex too, but I only bought one. Went back to buy a 2nd pair and they had gone up in price!
Shoulda snagged 'em!

I have the set, personally I dont really rate them. the tips are somewhat flimsy and half of them dont even have serrated jaws. I know some stuff you dont want to mar, but really. pliers with unserrated jaws to me are useless.Only spent $10 bux on the snap on truck today but anything is something right?!

Out of curiosity what is your lab testing? is that set up a large Instron?

Not just a large Instron, i work at Instron in the calibration lab. This was the 250kip dead weight stack that calibrates all of our field service referrence load cells and customer load cells over 24kip in tension and compression.
WOW that is awesome. Dont know if your allowed or not but I would love to see some picutres.
A few of this weeks adds. Been getting sale items in. I decided to load my road box with all new items that I want. So I have been busy with that.
Added some cutters, pliers, pinless universal impacts, magnetic trays and a 3/8 drive impact socket set from Taiwan.

So are you posting while you're at work? Possibly from a work computer? About your intent to steal tools from work?

Both the Armstrong pin-less and the gearwrench 3/8 impact set came from Trident supply black Friday sale.

Not really. I use them to scrape when I don't want to marre the finish. They're handy for paint touch up work when detailing the car. They're also handy for removing stickers, decals, stick on wheel weights, etc.

Well these ones aren't what you would call katana sword sharp either. But they do have a lil edge.
By the way do not buy these Lisle scrapers. They are the worse ever. No edge. Flimsy blade clamp and overall just ****.
