Bought a big prybar

Beautiful SK set!

 

[Sam'sAutoParts]

View attachment 473285I received a new SK socket set today, seems very nice. I got it for a great deal on eBay!

I saw that on eBay during my usual search. It looked real nice but not something I had to have, plus I just blew my tool budget on a cornwell set

 

[Bobcat753]

I guess tires are considered a tool, treated the chevy to some nice Goodyear wrangler duratracs for the rear duals. Will defiantly be nice for off road welding jobs

 

[K-Dog]

Congrats K dog, I have three of them and luv'em.

So todays delivery was one of them just incasers and I wonder if it really works

Thanks. I am just a body guy so its gonna be low milage. Seatbelts, steering wheels and what not.

Hey let me know how that locking lug kit works out for you.

Give it back and ask him to have the battery compartment update installed.

I will inquire about it Friday...... ( if I remember )

That is so massive it looks tiny.

 

[MARCIOCRM]

(...) I guess this is just they way they are.

All-in-all, I'm not unhappy with the set. I really like the added leverage of the cutters. These are tools, and I expect the finish to wear with time anyway. I just had expected more from NWS.

Me too!
Go Knipex next purchase and become completely happy.

Bought a Snap-On 3/8"-1/2" adapter from 90zcar. Thanks again.

Thanks Rogue, I've seen plenty of good reviews. I hope to get a few years out of them. Now I want some snow or find a good muddy dirt road to try them

 

[MoparTrucks]

Got tired of muscling lug nuts and other fasteners off my tractors and trucks so I picked up this impact wrench today. Already tried it out on a brush hog I am repairing and holy **** I don't know why I didnt buy one sooner.

I hate to tell ya this but snows downright boring with them. They just won't loose traction. I've been out after a foot of snow and just cruise around. Havnet taken my chains out in two years now (which is when I purchesed the tires).

 

[Bobcat753]

Well that's what I want. I'd love to be able to plow through a foot or more. Last winter I had some pretty worn tires and was slipping and sliding everywhere.

Picked this up from Hot Deals section. My first order with KC Tools.

 

[amlv20]

Got a cool new counter pad for my tool box.

Where did you find that? I have been trying to find a cool pad for my work bench.

My parts manager gave it to me,I'm sure they can be found on eBay if looked for.

 

[G1GRANDEUR]

have to pick-up monday. paid $41.99, good price?

 

[gaffobohs]

Haven't posted in a while. Picked up a few bits off the matco truck. Everything bar the disconnect tool set was a special on the flyer. Both extension sets were but one and get the XL one free.

Picked up the air hammer from Gregg's Distributors for $115. I really like it as you don't feel too much of the vibrations and it has plenty of power for what I need.



Picked these up today off kijiji for $50 which I think is a steal! Also nearly grabbed a full set of unopened proto snap ring pliers for $20 but I wasn't quick enough. Woman was selling stuff she got in her divorce...I guess she didn't know the value of them!

Herbrand used to be a truck brand, our indy guy used to be a herbrand truck. Many older gents at work have some and still use them today. I've heard good things about them. Nice find!

Pretty good selection there kunkernator havent bought Mac in years havent even seen a mac dealer in the area for a good 10 years.

 

[d.mcfarland]

How is that 72 tooth 1/2 drive flex??

I bet its so nice!

 

[Zeroek]

I want one of those long MAc 3/8 ratchets so bad. Just no dang mac dealer. Picked up Napa plier set that I was gonna get from cornwell. Saved some money.

 

[kunkernator]

Excellent! The Cornwell guy had a great deal going, and it is longer than any other brand's 1/2'' flex.

I bought it for barring engines over. Some of these engines we work on are a pain to turn over.

 

[dutchgray]

Its tools like that 29" ratchet that makes me wish Cornwell existed over here.
I so want one of those.

 

[MARCIOCRM]

One more for my yellow team:

I changed belt clip.

 

[MagnumForce]

My boss at work has a set of these. I used them the other day while working with him and was quite impressed. I usually don't like these gimmicky things but this will be handy as heck at work instead of carrying 8 wrenches in my pouch or running back to the back of the plant to get the right ones.

I have a set of those in my new truck just in case.

If you want anything, let me know, I am ALWAYS willing to help a member out.... Get you some good ole' USA made tools over there in the old world.

Tekton 1355 E-torx set from Amazon. First Tekton purchase, and they look really good. Haven't had a chance to use them yet.

 

[dede2897234]

WMS PERFORMANCE,

Are those hex bit sockets made by Ko-ken? If yes, how long are the hex bit shafts? Does Ko-ken make hex bit sockets with longer shafts?


Thanks,

Dave

 

[dede2897234]

On Friday, I purchased and picked up from McMaster-Carr Armstrong USA long hex bit sockets in the following metric sizes:

- 3/8" drive, 4mm, 6-1/8" overall length
- 3/8" drive, 5mm, 6-1/8" overall length
- 3/8" drive, 6mm, 6-1/8" overall length
- 3/8" drive, 8mm, 6-1/8" overall length
- 3/8" drive, 9mm, 6-1/8" overall length
- 1/2" drive, 12mm, 6" overall length
- 1/2" drive, 14mm, 7" overall length

According to McMaster's website (LINK), the 9mm and 12mm hex bits are not replaceable within the sockets.

Here are some pictures of the McMaster purchases:

I purchased yesterday from Home Depot these sturdy 3/8" and 1/2" drive socket rails. They are made in Taiwan. After installing the hex bit sockets, I turned the rails upside down. None of the sockets fell off. In addition, with the weight of the 1/2" drive sockets (10mm, 12mm, 14mm, 17mm, 19mm), the socket rail did not bend or crack.

Here is a link to the 3/8" drive Husky socket rail on the Home Depot site: LINK.
