Bourbon induced ebay buy, Martin 'Wing Ding' spoon dolly (pn 1056) for hard to reach areas. longer than I was expecting, with a pretty thin head, probably wont be used too much, but I have a few areas that it should earn its keep shortly

Yeah I can see that coming in handy.
I gotta get one.

Wright full polish wrenches, SAE 15 piece set and metric 18 piece from Amazon. The flare nut wrenches are Craftsman USA, got them used from Ebay.

Mini review of the Wrights: great wrenches. Good fit and finish. I've used them at work for a few weeks but I'm going to disagree with anyone saying they compare to Snap-On. Not even close. The fit and finish is there, but the design is not. I work with aircraft and you have to get into some stupid places. The SO long pattern wrenches do EVERYTHING better when access is very restricted. Open end not so much but definitely with the box end. I can't say I'm a big fan of the lesser box end angle of the Wrights. The box end is also thicker and beefier than the SO, which can be a problem in tight spaces. That aside, they are outstanding wrenches and even more amazing for the money. If you are toying with the idea of getting a wrench set, just do it.

I picked up a Milwaukee fastback utility knife today. The clip is a bit flimsy but the razor blade is secured nice and tight and doesn't wiggle like the husky ones.

Yes it is next to the snap on ratchet. That's why I got one. I just had to have to longer handle one.

Bought some old Barcalo-Buffalo SAE double box end wrenches seemed cool. I do not use much sae tools so I do not own much. But these seemed like a good deal. I never heard of this brand of tools before.

Bought a vise to use at home, since I've been very impressed by the RIA-4 I have on my box at work I figured I'd try its big brother. Also bought some Wilton jaw caps to use for some minor gunsmithing projects I need to do.

I'm really thinking on pulling the trigger on an YOST FSV-4. Is that the FSV-6 you bought? How do you like the vise so far?

What do you normally use those pullers for? I have a few different ones like that.


I have a larger version of the yellow one. I've used it to take off a few pulleys. In a spot that there was a double pulley and the front one was not only on the shaft but bolted to the pulley behind it.

Got the Mityvac MV8000 from Harbor Freight. Borrowed picture.

Had to bleed brakes on a 2000 Civic after replacing the rear brake lines (passenger side rusted through, driver's side was nearly as bad). Reading reviews prepped me for the little line of bubbles these things display even when there's no air in the brake lines. Fixes range from grease on the bleeder screw to a hose clamp on the vacuum hose but I'm pretty sure I can tell the difference between air in the brake line and tiny bubbles in the imperfect seal the bleeder hose makes on the screw.

I'm doing one man brake bleeds now so I'm happy. Worth the $30 :thumbup:

New to me TM10 and TXM4. It's amazing how nicely these are made. I can't wait to use them. ebay seller misrepresented the condition slightly, but they're still really nice. About one-third of list after shipping.
