re: Chinese fuses



maybe this is a stupid question, but when Buss fuses are readily available, why on earth would you put a wiring harness at risk with a Chinese fuse?



why?

...Coming from China, I was sceptical on the quality of them, but I figured it would be a fun little experiment to see how close to the rated amperage they actually were...

There was no intent on putting it in a wiring harness. I thought I kinda explained that...

Not sure if it is worth the hassle of exchanging them or not.

Yes it's worth the hassle. We need to band together and hold these manufacturers accountable; especially the U.S. manufacturers.

Some lovely new Proto gear.

It is inverse from standard. That's the only thing I don't like about it. The quality is A+ otherwise.

Primary reason I got rid of mine. It's insanely annoying to be opposite of every other ratchet!

Thanks for doing the work! Haha, I was headed to google to find out myself!

Variety of handy funnels from U.S. plastics, yet another set of vise-grips, and t-handle style Allen hex wrenches


Flex Gearwrench Ratchet wrenches from the GJ classifieds


SO pliers, new and used also from GJ classifieds


Set of bolt pattern gauges via Amazon


CL snips, and John Deere filter wrenches. Not sure but I think they're rebranded Lisle. U.S. made.


A few spare Artu multipurpose drill bits. These have really came in handy for drilling broken off rusted bolts. Can even drill through e-z out type removers too.


Flo-Tools funnel. Has already came in handy. Along with Lisle 43500. Could be really handy. But apparently machining wasn't right on this one. None of my U.S. made sockets will fit it. But the Taiwan and few China made ones will. Lisle is supposed to be sending be a new one.


Brand new 18v DeWalt grease gun. This is going to make things nice this spring for greasing up machinery.


Last but not least, straight from the Hot Deals thread, just arrived yesterday, a company I've been meaning to look into for quite some time, St. Louis Pneumatic angle grinder and die grinder. Looking forward to using these.

 

[Jeepster425]

A 3/8 dewalt air drill, we'll see how she does. And a sunnex half moon wrench set, ordered the metric but received sae. I'll keep em though they were cheap enough

Those cutoff tools are great. Mines been going for a couple of years now, without issue. Just make sure the breaker is pushed in all the way. Mine was stuck halfway and was sparking like crazy out of the box.

 

[OCD]

Was a long week, nice to end it on a Friday afternoon with new tools!!

Green test light, and ratchet wrenches to complete the set,

Non marring scrapers,

Made in Spain, I wonder if these come out of the same factory as channellock adjustable wrenches?

Metric/Sae rethread kit!!

My Snap On Bud did inventory and cleaned up his storeroom... I got a box full of some of the extra promo swag he had laying around!!

 

[hautpot]

Does snap-on have 20mm and 23mm ratcheting spanners? They are not known to skip sizes.....

I'd love to know how those St Louis Pneumatic tools work for you, I've been eyeing them for a while. Please review them when you can!

 

[chopndrop]

Are they American made? Also, nice Mk2 (VR6?), just looked at a Mk2 Cabby but it's tough to find one not rusted out or poorly maintained.

Hate to say it but they are Chinese made. Parted out that vr last year, wish I could have kept it. Had a mk1 cabby before that. I daily drove it with a leaky roof and no heat for a winter and got rid of it because it had been in an accident and the unibody was off enough that it diddnt go down the road straight.

 

[Mastermind]

I bought a new toy this week. Spent a day doing brake lines and found one bubble flare amongst the 15 flares I did, and it's one of those tools on that list....the ever growing tools needed list. So rather than spend money to buy a bubble flare kit and still rely on my trusty old double kit, I bought the mastercool hydraulic setup. A lot of coin but it is awesome.

 

[cgrutt]

New set of Martin body tools; don't need most of them for project I'm working on but always wanted them!

 

[Mastermind]

Always liked the Martin body tools. Never had a source for them so most mine are snappy. Be careful those will cause an addiction!

 

[bodyguy16]

Brought some warrantied tools back to my dads bud and he gave me some snap on/husky/penens sockets in a metal box and some vintage line wrenches, made my day!

Yeah, tell me about it... I'm not even a body guy (or a mechanic), ha, ha!

I bought them online BTW. Tooltopia.com. Pretty good pricing and fast shipping!

 

[bodyguy16]

Martin do make some nice tools, my favorite being the door panel hammer, makes changing skins that much easier!

Good to know, thanks. Figured for $20.00 I would grab it.

I'm a sucker for gadgets. At costco today I saw this new Snap-On light saber. The button on the top lights up the flash light part. The trouble light comes on automatically when you extend it. pretty bright LED!

Meh, it was 25 bucks.

 

[upgrading]

Interesting.
Is the base of the light magnetic ?

starting to upgrade all my cheapo HF and TJ Maxx tools! It's going to be a long run...

 

[ianguilly]

Not really my new tool buy, but I help my friend pick up this vintage snap on kr661&691 combo for only $1700 and I even had tools! Really wanted to pick this up for myself but can't get them all.



He did let me have some tools out of it as a thanks for helping.

I believe snap on bought Bahco and these are the same adjustable.

So I have to ask, why would you spend that kind of money for a size that never gets used?. Just wondering.

Over the past week I've been mine everyday. They do not lack one once of HP, feel good in the hand and don't even get all that cold after extended run times. I wondered if the weight of the unit would bother me when doing a long operation, but it actually makes the task easier as it tends to remain a bit more stable then my liter ones. And for the price these got bought at, it was a deal and a half.
