Got this ratchet and extension set yesterday. The extension set would've been $125 by themselves. Or I could buy this stupid long ratchet for $123 and it came with the extensions free.

And this just came in today. Compact 1/2 impact with super low profile sockets.

My Cornwell guy got these at a tool rally a couple weeks ago. Not a bad deal. Can definitely see myself using this.

But since it's so small, time to throw out the old big guy.

You'll love that impact. I have a similar one. It's an M7 brand whatever that is. But the sockets are identical so probably the same supplier. But you'll want to keep your IR for some stuff. I have an IR7150 and 2350 and they both have more grunt than the little impact. But it's nice to have that low profile sucker.

Some new proto!
6 point 3/8 drive imperial deep socket set. 1/4"-1'
16" alignment bar, and 12" roll head bar. The sockets are a graduation gift from my mom, so I have a couple months until I actually get to use them. They were on sale about 40% off list so we bought them now

Really like these sockets. Thinking of replacing all my import sockets with proto, at least for imperial. My dad is getting me 1/2" drive metric snapon for my birthday in june, so I might try and have metric all snapon

Snap-on EECS350 Enhanced Battery Tester, $450.

Mine went back the same week I bought it http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?p=4626196#post4626196

There is a database issue to which the manufacture (Midtronics) has no solution for.... once they come up with a solution that unit has no data port so it will have to be shipped back to manufacture for an update.
Just check the battery you checking has a known AH rating, and then see what the tool shows for that in the database when you run a test. I do motorcycle batteries and at least one of the batteries I commonly test is wrong in the database, that screws up the results showing a partially discharged battery when in fact it is fully charged and serviceable..

I've only tested regular 12V batteries so far, works good.

This is my new new CT761, I bought one and have been using it everyday since December, I Love the gun,but from day one the battery has been a MF to get out, and i let my dealer know, it took a while but he gave me a new one today, it is soo much better to get the battery out, no more prying with a freekin screwdriver!

Went to KMS tools today and i always check out the back section for clearance and damaged items. Saw a red box, CTA 4012 inner tie rod set with no price on it. Manager came over and said the blow mold case had 2 small holes in it and couldn't sell it new. I asked how much, he said 20 bucks. Bought it and a made in USA hammer bit. Not sure what the kit was worth, but i'm sure it's more than 20 bucks.

Then i went to PrincessAuto and picked up a copy of the IR hammerHead Impact for 150 bucks.It's made by Kuani tools in taiwan. This thing looks like a life saver. :thumbup:

I'm sure most of the data base is good
I only know of one battery specs that are off, but at that point it was of no use to me

Again look at the manufacture rated AH and make sure each battery you test is shown in the database on screen specs are the same if not your readings will be off

Been wanting to try one of the matco 88s great deal on ebay so well see how this goes

I love how thin the heads are on this 1/4 ratchet. I like the grip option too, because without it the tiny handles of the 1/4 metal handles are too uncomfortable.

This is actually the 3/8 BFR88TG it's great love the shape still up in the air with the teeth...guess I'm just used to the snap on dual 80..but so far it works great!!

Whats with the unique shape ?

Supposedly they're crank bolt sockets that magnify the blows from an impact thus making your gun hit harder. Still haven't seen any real proof, not that I don't believe it but i'd like to see the difference.

It is an oil funnel it is turned upside down, the top in the photo connects to the valve cover where the oil cap goes. What I like is the trolly that it's sitting on, maybe the owner can elaborate on the trolley :)

I have a couple stabila that are perfect. Considering I no longer make a living with this stuff, I can't justify the cost. I just thought since these were so inexpensive, fug it, I'll get a matching set. :bounce:

BTW, that bouncy end guard thing is a trip, not exactly sure I like it either just yet.
