Bought my first ever Snap-On anything so relegated the the old tools to the background.

The boxes are from X-Treme Bullets with the tops cut off. They are some heavy duty cardboard.

Nice collection of Wiha precision drivers. I'm a huge fan of precision tools. Wiha makes a beautiful selection of stuff.

Thanks. They are nice thats for sure. I had been using a cheap set i picked up years ago for like 5 bucks. The Wiha's are so much nicer. Granted i dont use them much but it will still be nice to have them!

Whoa, that is a first for me! I've seen cushion gripped breaker bars before (my dad has one) but never on a SK ratchet. Nice find!

Its hard plastic, quite comfortable actually it seems, 36 teeth, the paper tag has copyright 1993 on it for an idea of age.

The weras are very nice. I like them a lot so far. The wiha seem to be quality as well. Being less extreme on the grip they are a little more comfortable right off the bat to me. Weras are very nice though too. I expect both sets to get long time of use. [emoji1]

Interesting, how about the "bite" of the tips? That was one thing I REALLY loved about the Wera's I used at my old work. The laser treatment on the tips actually worked! It really helped the tips grab and bite into even stripped screws. Trying to make up my mind if I want to buy the Wera's or try out the Wiha's for my home use.

 

[dodge610]

got some gearwrench stuff and a astro punch and chisel set for my home box.

I saw these Bessey spring clamps at home Depot. Six bucks for the set of 9 I couldn't resist.

I just picked up a set of the clamps today. Seem to be decent quality.

It was the first thing I tried out. The weras will stay in the screw horizontally without me holding it. The wihas don't. I don't know if it is because they are insulated and made for a different purpose? They are quality for sure but don't grip like the weras.

I assume you're referring to the x head screws/drivers. I didn't say philips because there is another standard previously known as JIS. That is what is used on all Japanese and many other screws today. It is very similar to "Posidrive" on a lot of older European stuff. The fit, along with the angle is one of the characteristics of that head. I bought mine from kctools as they are pretty much the only supplier I could find. They are essential for working on Japanese stuff like my car and motorcycle.

Yeah they suprised me too! They seem pretty nice! Six bucks is making me want to go back and grab another set!

 

[Chadwilliam1]

I wish somebody would pick me up one of those buy one get on free ratchet deals.

 

[Hpozzuoli]

Bought these on Black Friday and finally got them from my parents in CT. Pick the gator up fine. Seem very fluid.

I whole heartily agree. When I bought my set I didn't think it'd work all that great but thought I'd give them a try. It works so well, it's actually very impressive. I've been a Klein screw driver guy for 30 years, in the shop I rarely ever grab them anymore, always the Weras now.

 

[ImStricken06]

Yesterday i went to Lowes, and picked up some 1/2 & 3/8ths impact sockets missing form my sets.

 

[Xmoonstompx]

Hit a few pawn shops up today and came back with some stuff for the home garage. .
Pretty stoked on the Silver Eagle set, need to order a 10mm and a 12mm socket to replace the random Craftsman ones that it came with. $120 for the gun and $100 for the sockets/wrenches.

 

[FOCUS.FREAK]

How much was the gun?

 

[Xmoonstompx]

Wow. You ****. Charger with it?

$16 via KC Tool on Amazon.

 

[Ruger_556]

Interesting.
I never knew GREENLEE sourced tools from Germany.
They look nice.

They have a few things made over there. Sure does a nice job crimping.

Nice ! Looks like a Klauke

Greenlee owns Klauke, so that makes sense (as well as Rothenberger, which I'm pretty sure is a German company too).

Ah, interesting

 

[ihateminimumwage]

Some of the eBay purchases few months. It all went straight to work, so finally got pics.

Snap-On Dual 80 Bent Handle Flex
MAC 5/8" & 13/16" Flex Spark Plug Sockets
Wright 1/4" and 3/8" Locking Extension Ends
3/8" Matco 6" Extension
1/4" MAC 4" Extension

Loving my current spark plug setup (SK bent handle came home now)

 

[Mr302Coyote]

I've lurked long enough. Over the last month or so i've gotten quite a few new tools. Mainly stuff I found on sale for Black Friday, or some local store scores as well as Harbor Freight.

I'm a big fan of the Pittsburgh Pro ratchets. The Husky sockets are just replacements for lost sockets to fill my sockets rails which mainly consists of USA Craftsman.

The picture will everything on the floor is a bunch of tools I got for free from a good friend who is moving out of state. The wrenches to the bottom left are Snap On and Matco.Various Impact sets, two Craftsman sets, and 3 Snap On sets. Few Harbor Freight Pro things, and a bunch of older AutoZone (Ampro) sockets as well as USA Craftsman. Also a few power tools and some older IR air tools. I can get more pics of the free tools later once my new box arrives and I get everything in place where I want it.

Hi Dookie,
I just spoke with Snap-on, via online chat. They say the product is new and not on their site. I guess not surprising given the state of that thing with so many missing pictures, details, etc.

Anyway the part # is: 246AFSM

I just trimmed off the ends of the plastic case and put it in the draw for now. I'm not expecting it to last too long. I like the way it lines up the socket sizes though

[JBradley500]

I was going to post in your other thread but I'll say it here. I put some cheap casters from Home Depot on my press and it doesn't rock or anything. It makes it convenient to move and store yet doesn't cost much.

 

[dodge610]

Guess I have not been in HF in a while. The presses use to be orange in color. Wonder when they changed to the gray color.

 

[L.Cheapo]

You people are a bad influence...

Thanks for that!

The hammer and Techangle were on promo, and the socks/shirt/Twizzlers(already eaten) were freebies.

 

[Mk4fool]

The other solus is for my buddy. Got them both for the price of one.

 

[Dookie2122]

Irwin 33 Piece Impact Bits Holder set from Lowes, $12 and an excellent condition pawn shop find, Bonney 18 piece 3/8" drive socket set, a steal at $20.

This is my new tool arrival, received it 2 weeks ago, mounted the mill this weekend

Built the caster and leveling frame for the base. Allows me to place the mill anywhere in the garage and level it.
