[the gypsy]

Hi guys and gals, I just bought and received my tube and pipe polisher from Amazon. I must tell you it works well and does a nice job on pipes.

 

[the gypsy]

Does anyone on this forum use one of these pipe polishers?

Yesterday, I made another trip to C&L Tool Supply in Coraopolis, PA. Here is a link to their website with the vendor list: LINK. Their prices are very competitive with internet merchants.

Gearwrench 1/4" Drive 120XP Ratchet





The store stocks all of its Gearwrench hand tools behind the counter. I asked the lady for the ratchet by part # and she pulled it out from a large, multi-drawer cabinet. C&L stocks a good amount of Gearwrench hand tools.

Knipex 6" Cobra Pliers





Right when you arrive, on the left side, there is an impressive Knipex pliers pegboard. They stock from 5" Knipex Cobra pliers to the 16" or 22" model. C&L also stock from the 6" Pliers Wrench to the 16" model. They will also special order any Knipex pliers model not in stock (ex: Cobra ES 10"). It takes about 4 weeks to arrive in store.

Gray Canada 17mm Hex Bit Socket







Gray Canada 10mm Hex Bit Socket







I do not know if these are NOS since they were manufactured in Canada. Maybe our Canadian members can answer this question: Are the current Gray hex bit sockets still manufactured in Canada?

Mayhew Dominator 4 pc Mini Hook and Pick Set (Model 60003)





This set is made in Taiwan and comes with a clear storage pouch. C&L stocks a good amount of Mayhew products.

I got a coupla items today.
A 3/8 Snap-On ratchet that was a trade in. $40.00

and a soft foam headed hammer. I figure its good for beating on a stubborn belt moulding or something like that.
Maybe I will find a use for it maybe I wont. $45.00

Picked these up today along with the Gladiator cabinet to get me over the $100 threshold so I could save $10. Basically they were free and both USA made!

How is that bottle cap wrench gonna get one if its any good.

 

[jeopardy98]

It works and is really heavy. I only paid $5 not $15 so it seemed worth it.

 

[scooternut]

Excited about this one as I frequently need a second wrench to hold the other side of nut/ bolt combinations.

Sweet! I've wanted to pick one of those up for a while but they're always priced so darn high. I keep expecting to see them remade around Christmas/Father's Day but no one ever does.

[jeopardy98]

Oh man, maybe I should go grab a few more!

 

[Marc Benjamin]

You should. All the USA ones around our local stores ran out last year.

 

[jeopardy98]

I just ordered the last 4 from my local store. $20.** for all of them. I'll probably keep two and give them as gifts to my dad and brother. Maybe not.

Mayhew seal picks, KTC AVSA--074C oil filter wrench, V5 brake bleeder and Carl Walter 280 PH combination spanner set 5.5-22, 24, 27, 30, 32 and 34 mm.

While in theory that V5 bleeder works good, I have heard very bad things about reverse brake bleeding. Since the dirt and **** and **** settles near the caliper, you dont want to push it back up to thru the system, as it can cause damage to ABS modules, and master cylinders.

rmsg0040,

Very nice one piece sockets!

Do you own any other hand tools from Genius Tools? If yes, how's your experience been with them?


Thanks,

Dave

Snapon offers those deals to the dealers. The dealers usually get a limited supply of the bogo deals in special packaging. It's really more snapons special offer than a particular dealers...

Depends on the system. In the industrial world there are systems that only bleed properly this way. As for auto aplications I've Sen on more than one occasion someone wipe out a master cylinder manual pumping it. Short strokes are key.

I own just a little bit:

1/4 wobble plus extensions
3/8 wobble plus extensions
1/4 metric deep 12pt chrome sockets
3/8 impact socket set SAE both deep and short
3/8 impact socket set metric both deep and short
Use to have extra long 13mm x 15mm wrench

Experience has been great, very good Taiwan quality stuff, only thing I can say is that the impact sockets sets has such a wide range that it wont work with most socket trays like Hansen.

Never heard of them, and I could use a good flaring tool. Looked at their website and couldnt find the set you have pictured.

If you dont mind telling what did that set you back.

Price was stout. I think it was ~$340.00, Eastwood had a small sale that was less than Amazon.

Was considering a Mastercool set, but read varied reviews and decided on this one.
