Nice setup Sorin!

I got a Makita 9" grinder, Wray Schelin shrinking disc and instructional DVD, 18" ruler, and another chalk line.

Hi what is a disc like that used for? Thanks

 

[Tronyadorable]

What kind is that one? I was looking at a similar one from snap on and it was $60 some dollars.

OK but you can pay 75 cents a week for the rest of your life.
No problem.

Short of WOW I'm speechless! That is very impressive to say the least!

Quite Nice.

Those are nice looking. I really like how the trays aren't a colossal waste of space like most trays.

It's used for metal shaping, you run it over a dented surface and the high spots shrink down from the heat created by the spinning disc rubbing on them. It takes some practice to get right, today I'm using it to make scrap

Picked this up from Nathen Arnold Tools. He is a Gearwrench truck dealer and was running a special on them. Not the big kit but a a good all around to start with.

That particular one is sold by SLP which is an aftermarket performance company that does a lot of GM stuff.

I ran into a problem installing my plugs with headers so I made my own with a spare socket I had in my box. I thought I was a genius until I found out they already existed....lol.

I'm sure the snap on one is great, but since you can make your own for basically free I couldn't justify spending $60.

How much if you don't mind me asking?

 

[txdude87]

New channellock gift set (screwdriver isn't half bad for a China brand.
New spring tool for drum brakes.
NOS craftsman USA metric 3/8" socket set.
Lastly my very first SK socket, 5/8" 3/8 drive spark plug socket. Useful that my car and truck both are small block Ford's, so they have the same size plug.

This thread has caused me to create a whole new wishlist on Amazon. Ima name it 'those darn GJ folks caused this'.

 

[MagnumForce]

Slowly buy surely replacing all my Kobalts with Channel Locks. Have already replaced everything in my tool pouch I where in the plant with Knipex.

 

[BioNerd]

Klein 13pc metric socket set, maybe made in Taiwan?

Some cheap earmuffs

I have had great experiences with Klein tool's. When I worked hvac electrician they earned me my bread. I still have all my Klein's. In fact my linesman pliers are one of my cherished tool's.

 

[MagnumForce]

I really like channel Locks. Love the way they are painted grey and they work awesomely. Feel great in the hands too.

Knipex needs no qualifications. They just simply are the best pliers money can by and have great innovations. Pricy though and CL is on part with them in workmanship.

 

[txdude87]

That's actually great to hear. Maybe I'll pick up a pair of cl dykes and see how they do.

so there's actually gearwrench trucks running around now? how long till matco is shut down? most of the stuff they sell is rebranded gw now.........ha

 

[SASORacing]

Orange is the best color.

I was going green but the.last few months I have been.switching things out and buying orange tools. I love those orange screwdrivers above. I have a matco.orange set.

How much did each tray of those Orange betas.cost?

 

[skateanddestroy]

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.

I was responsible for moving those stacks back in 2004/2005. If you have any questions let me know. Re-balancing them was a challenge, especially the 24k stack. Does the main actuator finally need new seals/rechrome?

 

[Van Steele]

Whitehouse hammers, KTC nippers, Shell pliers and a box of plastic razor blades

 

[merbie]

Where did you get our hammers? Are you in the uk? Thanks

I'd rather close my **** in a car door than wear a headlamp.

 

[madcrisis]

What are the plastic razorblades for? never seen or heard of them. Are they sharp or only somewhat sharp?

They are not anywhere in my area but yes there are some. I found this dealer online in a FB group. He offers great deals. He was great to work with also. If I remember correctly I think he is out of Missouri

They come up on ebay occasionally.

They're not sharp but have somewhat of an edge. I use them to remove gasket remnants from aluminium parts. Apparently they're good for removing stickers from panels and glass too.

Are the blue blades softer than the orange ones ?

They're designed for removing stickers from plastic windshields too.

Channellock cutters are garbage. I've actually worn mine out cutting zip-ties and cotter pins.

That ^^^ Don't waste your money.

Got one just like this but has Snap-on stamped on it.

Nice tools guys! Just got this from tooltopia.com today. Sunex locking prybar and screwdriver box. Going on my box tomorow.

I had the matco guy order me a 24" half inch locking flex. He knows I only get orange. He mistakenly ordered the green. I made him keep it and order the orange one. When I showed my co-worker the orange one he went onto the truck and bought the green one.

I may grab a set of nut drivers in the beta orange.

Nice. One of my favorite ratchets is a curved comfort handle one from gearwrench. Came in the spark plug socket/ratchet set.

And you can't go wrong with the m12 stuff. I have beat the **** out of mine, no issues.
